When I was younger a favorite book (and a good movie) was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I am sure that many of you have already seen the movie or read to book but for those who haven't, you should. One of my favorite parts of the book is how Capt. Nemo and his crew lived off of the sea. They went underwater to hunt fish and to cultivate plants for their survival on the boat. They even buried people at sea.

Well, it seems some Italians are now trying to prove that what Nemo did is possible. They plan to live underwater at a depth 15 meters (49 feet) for two weeks. During this time they will try to live off the ocean without disrupting the ecosystem. I will be interested to see how this experiment comes out.
