Life Under Da Sea - Sylvia Earle

Ever dreamed of living underwater? Sylvia Earle, National Geographic Explorer in Residence, spent a week living beneath the sea at the Aquarius Underwater Laboratory. Aquarius is a huge cylindrical tank with various rooms sitting 60 feet underwater that was designed for extended underwater reef research. Now part of the reef itself off of Key Largo, this station is critical to conserving the world's reefs which are now half gone. Unfortunately, the future of Aquarius is in question as the federal government has ceased funding. Earle explains her experience and how important it is to keep Aquarius in operation.
