Geography, politics and other factors have endowed Cuba with the region's most pristine coast and offshore marine environment. This text recounts Belleville's month-long journey around the island in the company of American and Cuban marine biologists and a Discovery Channel film crew. From coral reefs to mangrove swamps to a submerged volcanic mountain, the voyagers encountered sublimely wild places. Alongside coverage of the expedition, Belleville tells stories about the history and culture of the island's peoples, from the indigenous Taino to its current inhabitants of African and European heritage.
