NOAA’s Marine Sanctuaries Featured in a New Cousteau Film; Premieres Sept 20 Nationwide

Television viewers nationwide will have the opportunity to tour NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary System without getting their feet wet when the Public Broadcasting System airs a new two-part documentary produced by PBS station KQED and Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society. The film, America's Underwater Treasures, highlights the natural and cultural resources of each of the 13 national marine sanctuaries managed by NOAA's National Marine Sanctuary Program. Cousteau and his dive team introduce viewers to a variety marine life, habitats and historic shipwrecks encompassed by national marine sanctuaries and to the researchers and resource managers who are working every day to study and protect them.

The two-part film premieres on September 20 and concludes on September 27. To check viewing times in your local area, visit: http://www.pbs.org/kqed/oceanadventu...des/treasures/.

I tuned in last night and found the show quite interesting and I recommend watching next week. Some of the filming was really cool. Next week they'll be going to some places more familiar to people on the site.
