by Laura Lombrana: The grandson of the famous explorer is creating a sea station where scientists can live under the ocean while studying climate change…
Fabien Cousteau took a last look at the steel capsule that had been his home for 31 days as he ascended gently toward the warm surface of the Florida Bay waters. After a month living in a confined space, 63 feet deep in the ocean with no sunlight, he had just one thought in his mind: how to get back there, for longer.
“To have to go back to the surface was one of the saddest moments in my ocean exploration career,” Cousteau says. “I was more than happy to go another month, but unfortunately budgets don’t allow for that.”
number one, the documentary, which hopefully will come out at the beginning of next year. number two is the traveling museum, which will be based on mission 31 to outreach and connect people with what s happening. and third, and most importantly, the florida-based ocean learning center, which will continue that outreach to children around the world. what was your biggest surprise in 31 days underwater? how comfortable it was. okay, that s a huge surprise. that would be on my list of possible surprises. it gives us the luxury of time. and although there were constraints, the idea of being able to dive as long as you need to on the final frontier on this planet really gave us the luxury of insight of what s happening in our oceans while we re not there. wow. that is i never would have thought i just would have thought it would have been a constant kind of struggle being down there and staying down there. it is a challenge.

the mission of mission 31, climate change, pollution on marine life. what did you learn? the science was very solid, of course, and we had some partnerships with northeastern university and fiu, and we certainly concentrated along those topics, but we have to look at it through the lens of adventure and exploration, which this truly was, and also engage the general public that may not know about these topics or have an efinty to them to have them fall in love with the ocean and support it. so successful, i m seriously considering creating an ocean learning center in florida to be able to bolster and continue on the mission 31 mission. so you actually had visitors who wanted to come join you for a little bit? i hear from hbo s aun tra russia? absolutely. amazing. visitors such as nasa astronaut
