Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umncane kangakanani, ngokuqinisekile uke wake wezwa ngomkhuzi ongumFulentshi kanye nesazi sezilwandle uJacques Cousteau. Eminyakeni eminingi emva kokufa kwakhe, UFabien Cousteau, omunye wabazukulu bakhe, usanda kumemezela ukuthi isisekelo sakhe sizosebenzisa ukuphrinta kwe-3D ukwenza ngempumelelo iphrojekthi lapho ukulondolozwa kwamakhorali esiqhingini saseCaribbean saseBonaire. Uma lo msebenzi uphumelela, ungadluliselwa nakwamanye amabhange ama-coral atholakala ezingxenyeni ezahlukahlukene zomhlaba okungenzeka abe sengozini.
Ukungena emininingwaneni encane, ngikutshele lokho UFabien Cousteau ungumenzi wamafilimu odumile waseFrance nomhloli wamazwe olwandle okwamanje ohlala e-United States. Njengoba sesishilo, ungumzukulu kaJacques-Yves Cousteau odumile, ikakhulukazi indodana kaJean-Michel. UFabien uthweswe iziqu eBoston University, ngemuva kokusebenza kwezokumaketha iminyaka emithathu wagcina ethathe isinqumo sokuzinikela kulolwandle ukuze athole uhambo lokuqala lwangasese ngo-2002 ukuqopha isiqephu esikhethekile se-National Geographic Explorer.
Njengoba ukwazi ukubona, asikhulumi ngisho nangomuntu ongazi lutho ngalo mhlaba, ngakho-ke kungaphezu kokuthakazelisa ukuthi alokothe ahlanganyele kuphrojekthi efuna ukukhiqiza amakhorali okwenziwa kusuka etsheni le-sandstone kanye ne-limestone. Labo abanokwethenjelwa abanokwethenjelwa ukuthi okudaliwe kwabo bakudalile ngokusebenzisa ukuphrinta kwe-3D ukukhuthaza ukukhula kwamadwala emvelo ngokushesha okukhulu kunamanye amasu asetshenzisiwe kuze kube manje.
Ngokwamazwi akhe uqobo UFabien Cousteau:
Kunezindawo eziningi emhlabeni lapho amadwala ayengumbukwane wokuphila ngenkathi ngisemusha, futhi manje eyihlane, eligcwele ulwelwe futhi elingenazo izilwane. Kuyisitatimende esidabukisayo ngoba cishe ama-70% wezinto eziphilayo olwandle ancike ezixhotsheni zamakhorali.
