Cousteau's Great White Shark

Comments
1. During a scientific conference in Sydney Austrailia there was a speaial event held in schools to inform them about how important great whites are to our socity and the food chain.
2. The kids all participated in a art contest foucsed on sharks also during these events. the drawings they made after being told of the danger sharks are in especially in South Austrailia were not ones of hate and fear fo sharks they actually said things like "Save the Sharks" and "Sharks are not Mosters".
3. The crew were the judges of this event and were in high spirts on thier return to the Alcyone ,the ship,.
4. Then the Fourth expedition came to an end and the crew had accumulated 115 hours of footage and nearly 10'000 photgraphs.
