SAYA DE MALHA BANK, Indian Ocean (Reuters) - In a remote stretch of the western Indian Ocean, a 24-year-old Mauritian marine scientist donned a snorkel and dived below the choppy waves to float in protest above the world's largest seagrass meadow.
Holding a placard reading 'Youth Strike for Climate,' Shaama Sandooyea held her breath and hoped the images from her action would help spark more aggressive global action to fight climate change.
