A generation ago, Jacques-Yves Cousteau revealed the oceans' mysteries to millions of landlocked PBS television viewers and inspired a groundswell of public awareness of the unique problems faced by the world's marine environments. Now, 30 years later, KQED Public Broadcasting and Ocean Futures Society, headed by Jacques' son Jean-Michel, will bring the Cousteau legacy back to PBS with JEAN-MICHEL COUSTEAU'S OCEAN ADVENTURES, a six-part HDTV series airing this spring.
Using state-of-the-art technology, Peabody and Emmy Award-winning Jean-Michel Cousteau and his acclaimed diving teams, accompanied by marine scientists and ecologists, will explore a thrilling array of natural phenomena, investigate little-known territories and eco-systems hundreds of feet beneath the ocean's surface, and come face-to-face with the friendly and ferocious inhabitants of the deep.
"We know more about the 'dead seas' of Mars than our own ocean," said Cousteau. "In this series, we are charting a course of human adventure and discovery of our real-life support system - our planet's ocean."

"Carbon Dioxide dissolves in the oceans and makes them more acidic...
Even with relatively low emissions, large areas of the southern oceans and parts of the Pacific will become toxic to organisms with shells since the acidic seawater will dissolve them.
Many species of plankton - the basis of the marine food chain and essential for the sustenance of higher creatures, from mackerel to baleen whales - will be wiped out... and the more acidic seawater may be the knockout blow for what remains of the world's coral reefs.
The oceans may become the new deserts as the world's temperatures reach 2C above today's.
