Underwater Meeting

CabinetMeeting Government officials from the tiny nation of Maldives held an underwater cabinet meeting this weekend. The purpose: to heighten global warming awareness. Maldives is the lowest-lying country in the world.

President Mohammed Nasheed held the meeting with 13 others. They sat in chairs 20 feet under the water’s surface at the bottom of a lagoon.
