@Sea Correspondent -- Brian Cousin

Since 1993, Brian Cousin has been Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution's video production specialist. He has documented leading-edge scientific research and development at the institution and on various missions to the Bahamas, the Galapagos archipelago, the Gulf of Maine and Mexico. While his name is rarely seen in the credits, Brian's video footage has been included in television documentaries produced around the world.

In addition, Brian has produced award winning video programming for Harbor Branch, including a 26-minute program entitled "Marine Bioluminescence: Secret Lights in the Sea". Produced in collaboration with Harbor Branch's Dr. Edith Widder, the video provides an excellent background on the phenomenon of marine bioluminescence, and features previously unseen footage captured by Dr. Widder and her colleagues across the country.

Brian is a certified Harbor Branch scuba diver and a member of the Academy of Underwater Sciences. His diving experience ranges from cave-diving - perhaps the ultimate in confined-space diving - to blue water diving - essentially open-ocean diving in a referenceless enviornment, often likened to space walking.
