Jacques Cousteau was no conservationist!
He was a con man.
I used to dive with him at Catalina in the 60s.
He was the biggest lobster poacher around.
He gave me my first set of double tanks, they were french and were so heavy that I didn’t even need a weight belt with a 1/4” wetsuit.

Absolutely correct. He tried to extort a couple of hundred thousand from Haiti when he was visiting there. Because they refused to pay he “documented” their destruction of their reefs. I have dove in Haiti and much of the Caribbean. Haiti has some of the most pristine and prolific reefs in the world. Even their close to shore polluted areas are filled with fish.
