Summary On the next Going Green: Your Green World, Philippe Cousteau visits a place his grandfather Jacques Cousteau called the "aquarium of the world." The tiny village of Cabo Pulmo in Mexico's Sea of Cortez is home to one of the most successful marine protected areas in the world. Since the Cabo Pulmo community decided to give up fishing, the coral reef has become a national park, enforced in part by the same community who used to fish there. In just one decade of protection, marine life has returned to this area 460%. Philippe and the Octavio Aburto, the scientist who has studied the area for almost 15 years, take viewers on a tour of the underwater wonders of North America's only remaining hard coral reef. Philippe also meets the community whose efforts have set an example for coral reef conservation around the world. If Cabo Pulmo can be saved, there is hope that other marine habitats and coral reefs in danger can be restored.
