Cousteau is scheduled to talk with reporters Wednesday afternoon. Five things to know about Cousteau's undersea mission Fabien Cousteau comes from a famous family of filmmakers, advocates and ocean explorers, and now he's added to their legacy of sea stories a 31-day expedition at an underwater laboratory in the Florida Keys.

After 31 days undersea, Cousteau stepped off a boat wearing flip-flops and a beach towel wrapped around his waist, saying he was torn about leaving his underwater home, but he missed his family and friends. The French oceanographer and his team of filmmakers and scientists started decompression Tuesday afternoon inside Aquarius Reef Base, 63 feet (19 meters) below the ocean's surface. Because they've spent so much time underwater, Cousteau and his "Mission 31" crew needed to undergo roughly 16 hours of decompression inside the school bus-sized lab so that they could return to the surface without suffering the bends.

    UNDER EMBARGO: July 22, 2020 // 10am ET Announcing Fabien Cousteau’s PROTEUS™, a Revolutionary ​ ​ ​ Underwater Scientific Research Station and Habitat Addressing Humanity’s Most Critical Concerns “The promise of the Ocean is the answer for our future” -Fabien Cousteau NEW YORK, NY, July 22, 2020 -- Renowned aquanaut, Ocean explorer and environmentalist ​ Fabien Cousteau announces today his vision for PROTEUS™, the world’s most advanced ​ ​ underwater scientific research station and habitat to address humanity’s most critical concerns: medicinal discoveries, food sustainability, and the impacts of climate change. A project of the ​ Fabien Cousteau Ocean Learning Center (FCOLC), PROTEUS™ is conceived as the underwater ​ ​ version of the International Space Station; it will be a platform for global collaboration amongst the world’s leading researchers, academics, government agencies, and corporations to advance science to benefit the future of the planet. “As our life support system, the Ocean is indispensable to solving the planet’s biggest problems. Challenges created by climate change, rising sea levels, extreme storms and viruses represent a multi-trillion-dollar risk to the global economy,” stated Fabien Cousteau. Surprisingly, despite ​ the Ocean representing over 99% of our world’s living space, only 5% has been explored to date. “PROTEUS™, contemplated as the first in a network of underwater habitats, is essential ​ ​ ​ ​ to driving meaningful solutions that protect the future of our planet. The knowledge that will be uncovered underwater will forever change the way generations of humans live up above.” PROTEUS™ is envisioned to be more than four times the size of any previously known ​ underwater habitat, and will feature state-of-the-art labs, sleeping quarters, and a moon pool.

Seiko greatly admires his tireless advocacy of the need for the oceans to be protected from the damaging effects of human activity and climate change. We are looking forward to working with Fabien through both traditional and on-line media initiatives focused on the Prospex diver’s watch collection. Furthermore, Seiko will contribute to the work of the Fabien Cousteau Ocean Learning Center, an institution that Fabien created to make a direct and positive contribution to the health of the oceans. Central to this shared initiative is a new, dedicated Seiko Prospex Instagram account which will feature Fabien’s activities, adventures and discoveries. We will also invite divers, environmen- talists and marine specialists from all over the world to contribute their stories, experiences and ideas for the future. Our aim is that this becomes a valued resource for lovers of the oceans worldwide.

HE JOURNEY FROM SUCCESS TO SIGNIFICANCE can be long and bumpy. Twists and turns appear randomly. You encounter unexpected stops and have surprises along the way. But when you sense that you are drawing near to the intersection of where your deepest passions will meet up with your Tgreatest abilities, you’ll know that you arrived at your unique destination. Guy Courtney grew up in Mount Prospect, Illinois, and recalls that the world stopped when Jacques-Yves Cousteau’s TV show came on during the late 1960s. Cousteau and his crew traveled to exotic locations on the Calypso and explored regions of the underwater world, trying to unlock the secrets and share those discoveries on film. It was “must-see” TV before we called it that. Family dinner on Sunday night could wait. There were no cell phones or iPads to interrupt time with the French adventurer and his latest technological inventions and underwater curiosities. Courtney’s interest in underwater ocean life would fully circle back decades later while at an Aspen Institute event in Colorado. 84 • Quintessential Barrington | QBarrington.com Ted Hood of Wellington Yacht Partners designed this 75’ Palawan for Little Harbor Custom Yachts.
