COMMENTS: From our Scuba Correspondent
Taking advantage of General Electric's corporatewide Green is Universal environmental commitment, scubadiving Ian Williams landed a trip to Saipan in the Marianas Islands as part of NBC's Sea Change series on marine ecosystems. Williams filed Wednesday from Tasmania. Poor Anne Thompson. She landed the short straw when she kicked off the series, never venturing farther than Bar Harbor. The Marianas Trench, at seven miles below sea level the deepest canyon on the planet, is part of a protected national monument, conserved from fishing and drilling. Williams took off his goggles to file a floating stand up: "The challenge now is how best to manage these vast new protected areas."
