Alexandra Cousteau To Explore The Waters Of North America

alex0716.jpg

Alexandra Cousteau is the daughter of Jacques Cousteau and she's kicking off the official launch of Expedition Blue Planet: North America, a five-month interactive exploration of critical water issues across the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

The expedition will tour more than 14,500 miles in a biodiesel tour bus converted to serve as a "rolling Calypso" for daily production and web broadcasting of films, photos and findings. In addition to filming a range of critical water issues on the Colorado River, the Gulf Coast, the Tennessee Valley, the Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay, Cousteau and her Expedition Team will stop in 20 communities along the route to host watershed action days.

Daily content from the project will be published online through the National Geographic Society's Freshwater Portal.
