Best Answer

He was famous for his marine explorations. Cousteau was a biologist in his own right. He observed in his book The Silent World that porpoises were able move in a specific direction by listening to the echoes of the sound waves from other sea creatures. The principle of echolocation was a feature in submarines and Cousteau was one of the first to suggest that cetaceans like porpoises had this capability. Cousteau realized that marine conservation was very important.
