A re-dedication of the marine studies building took place at Canterbury’s Knowlton campus, branding a one-of-a-kind relationship between Pierre-Yves Cousteau and the St. Petersburg prep school.
A leisurely paddle along the blueway near the Canterbury School of Florida campus Thursday afternoon underscored the friendship that the St. Petersburg prep school has formed with Pierre-Yves Cousteau, son of ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau. The kayak trip – with Cousteau, Canterbury students, and science teachers – amid the mangroves that border the school's campus preceded a much more important ceremony that brought the 28-year-old conservationist from Paris to the Canterbury School of Florida. Canterbury’s marine studies building was rededicated officially as the Cousteau Marine Studies Center, in honor of the elder Cousteau's contributions and his youngest son's organization, Cousteau Divers, which is a non-profit dedicated to the …

Pierre-Yves Cousteau, youngest son of the famed underwater explorer, will launch a U.S. project to help conserve the oceans.
Downtown St. Petersburg is a hub for marine science and conservation. That is evidenced by the downtown Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, the USF College of Marine Science and the NOAA Fisheries Service, all located close to one another. The city is about to add to the list. Pierre-Yves Cousteau, youngest son of legendary marine explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, is coming to St. Petersburg Wednesday to announce the launch of Cousteau Divers USA. In 2010, the younger Cousteau launched Cousteau Divers, an international multimedia platform where the world's divers could upload photos and information to give a glimpse of real-time conditions of the oceans. In turn, the Cousteau Divers site provided multimedia scientific information that …
