When I'm not blogging, I'm browsing. Here are sites and pages that I bookmarked on March 9th:

Opinion: Realities of green water: Here on the west coast of the island of Hawaii in a nondescript and unassuming building, Swiss-born research scientist Markus Lenger quietly goes about the business of improving our planet.
Students take a virtual field trip underwater: Taking a virtual field trip to one of Hawaii's coral reefs, these students come face to face with Hawaii's endangered reefs without even getting wet. It's all because of an autonomous underwater vehicle or AUV.

One initiative is working to establish a hydrogen fueling station at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Future Flight Hawaii inspires and Equips the Next Generation of Explorers: 2009 is the year of "Apollo: The Next Generation, Return to the Moon" for the 19th annual Future Flight Hawaii summer program.
