One meaning of the acronym Conshelf is "Continental Shelf" which is a region of shallower water around the perimeter of a landmass. Although generally always tapering deeper as the distance from the shoreline increases, the shelf is generally very shallow when compared to the depth of the adjacent gulfs and oceans.

What was the under sea laboratory used by Jacques Cousteau?
Conshelf Two
Can there be an underwater citY?
something more akin to a base camp, or possibly an oceanographic exploration station-in effect a fancied up diving bell with living quarters, (obvously- decompression chambers, etc) Cousteau had one called the Conshelf III. at the time there was a tv documentary on it. Dad and I had trouble figuring out if this was an acronym for Continental Shelf ( where the structure was based) or a pun on the words Conch Shell. Maybe a combination of both, certainly not Statler Hilton stuff.
Would it be possible to build cities underwater by the year 4000 if the polar ice sheets melted?
It's possible to build them underwater NOW; Jacques Cousteau and his team pioneered underwater habitats 40+ years ago, with teams of aquanauts who commuted between buildings by SCUBA and had their own submarine in an underwater hangar. There's no trick to it; it's just expensive. Check the National Geographic Magazine archives for 1963 and 1965 to see photos of their five "ConShelf" stations.
Where specifically did Jacques cousteau work?

His research also took him to the Caribbean, the Azores, the Amazon River, and the Antarctic.Jacques Cousteau worked in the following areas: Mediterranean Sea Red Sea Indian Ocean Persian Gulf Caribbean Azores Amazon River AntarcticJacques Cousteau was a pioneer in underwater exploration and will be remembered for his dedication to ocean conservation.
What are movies that are based on the life of cousteau?
Ciousteau himself produced ( The Silent World) a documentary starring, in a very real sense, the S.S. Calypso, in ther early fifties..Not, as the title hints a silent film. The problem of non-transmission of sound underwater was a tactical handicap to underwater films- not set on a submarine or diving bell. ( Cousteau and crew manned one of the these- the Conshelf III,. Cousteau"s French accent had my dad and I guessing if this possibly meant Conch Shell ( which is a sort of chamber) no.3) it meant Continental Shelf III,. Cousteau relied on voiced over narration to plug the( Silence) gap- a technique that did not always work- no attempt was made to Americanize the explorer.
