Expedition Blue Planet: North America's Mission

In 2010, Alexandra Cousteau and her international Expedition Blue Planet team traveled across North America on a 17,100-mile journey to investigate global water issues “in the backyard” of the world’s largest consumer economy. Living, working and exploring water stories together, Alexandra and her team used everything from the underwater gear invented by her grandfather, to the latest in satellite technology and live social media, to bring the thrill of adventure and the wonders of nature to audiences across the globe.

Overview

 

“A few months before setting out on our current Expedition, Alexandra and I bumped into Paul Rosen, the founder of Paromi Teas.  When we shared with him how much we both had come to love his incredible products, he offered to get involved in the Expedition.  Countless jars of tea later, the Expedition crew could not be happier!” - Jonathan Smith, Expedition Blue Planet
