Decades ago, Jacques Cousteau found the waters of Veyron near Marseilles teeming with marine life. Returning years later, he discovered the same sea floor to be a desert, virtually devoid of fish. Appalled at the ravages of pollution, Cousteau and crew seek scientific weapons to combat the horrors of urban wastes pouring into the Mediterranean. The explorer's find that not only is pollution to blame: man's industrial might encroaches upon the sea's most vulnerable point: shallow coastal areas that serve as natural habitats.
