Channel Islands I: Waters of Contention

Jacques Cousteau: Rediscover the World | New Zealand, Tahiti, Cuba, & Cape Horn – Season 1

The Channel Islands lie a few hours from the coast of California. Islands that have remained almost unchanged from prehistoric times due to the rocky coastlines and the violent sea. Divers from the Alcyone discover grey whales, carnivorous sea-otters, angel sharks, langouste, and lamp-fish. A rich and fertile sea life now threatened by commercial and sporting fishermen.
