KEY LARGO, Fla., June 23 (UPI) -- Fabien Cousteau has a different interpretation of the phrase "respect your elders." Breaking the record of one's grandfather -- in this case history's most famous oceanographer, Jacques Cousteau -- might seem like an affront.
But Fabien Cousteau's attempt to live underwater for 31 days, one day longer than his grandfather, is apparently more of an homage than a slight -- and a way to raise awareness about global warming and the plight of polluted oceans.
