the. ringback the . busy the, the innovation green, the green revolution global. so listen, the whole lot of crime would probably be secure, subscribed to the subscribe to plan. it's a, the, the, in the middle of the pacific ocean,

an ambitious expedition has set taps to explore the deep sea going when no human has ever gone before. where a numerous deposits of minerals night dormant can humanity benefit from this on top, the source of wealth, the technology to harvest, it's already exists. the 1st prototype of a deep sea collect tested patricia stones is called atanya. it's being tested at a depth of several 1000 meters, scientists and monitoring its deployments. because what is technically feasible might actually destroy a delicate underwater wells. is it less the risk to susan's, i'm going to them. these are basically batteries in stone form. this is exactly what you need to build a battery. there's manganese nickel, cobra defend copper to conduct the electricity,

the environmental protection organizations, such as green piece one to prevent deep sea mining its own costs. the. it's the last cost of the planet that humans have yet to exploit for resources of the oceans in danger. the making peace with nature is of the funding task of the century, preserving as restarting the ocean's ability to much of humanity and regulate all climates will be that the funding challenges of these back at

71 percent of the surface is coverage point oceans. it's the neurologist habitats on the planet. the the ocean says there's an important teach buffer and comp and sync. they observe about a quarter of manmade. c o 2 emissions. and thus mitigate the effects of climate change, the depths on need added on it or as meets the oceans to survive. they regulate the climate they provide for the home. they provide the oxygen, we bring more than 50 percent of it by the way and do things. but the world's oceans of suffering that ruthlessly being fished back the waste produced by an increasing the affluence of science. he is becoming more

prevalent in the war time. virtually indestructible plastic waste and dangerous animals and the habitats so called ocean dead zone. so guessing a lot you climate change is also causing sea levels to rise. and after the last it's exploitation continues, sand and gravel of being dredged for uses building materials. at this point where we've lost 50 percent of our ocean, 50 percent of the wells and the fish that lived in the us. and when my grandfather 1st started scuba diving after the 2nd world war from disappeared. now we're exploring that he was searched places the to still quite inaccessible. we know almost nothing of depend on to the animal species living that the

yet squared away. there are results which know jill some, the c badge they made of cobalt to nicole manganese and co pay. just the materials to meet the rapidly growing demand for batch. we use as the well shifts away from fossil fuels, getting metals from our planet can be done without any environmental impact. so what we need to be thinking about is how do we make decisions that cause least harm to the planet that we're trying to protect? in june 2021, the united nations in new york was focusing attention on the highly threatening to maureen habitats, the un proclaimed in ocean decades to advance the protection and sustainable development of the world's oceans. i proceeded to go of these challenges, so the top priorities for everyone. if you with welcome to the united deck of ocean science together that has discovered the science we needs for the ocean. we want.

thank you. mm. the in march 2021 in the midst of the global corona virus pandemic, special shit was built to the us pacific fleets, naval base in san diego. the vessel, the island pride, was preparing to go to sea. its crew and the company and european scientists were going on a special mission the as part of the mining impact program. there were such as we're heading out to examine what happens on the c bed during the world's 1st tests of us. 35 ton underwater harvesting machine called a poli, metallic o manganese note, your collect, so it's

a big project. we want to analyze the environmental impacts of among denise and not you will collect on working in the deep sea and we have quite a few scientific groups on board. you also test this is the 1st test of it's kind of really close to the conditions you might expect from a deep sea mining operation. it's very important for the environmental analyses, parameters, understand it, that needs to be development, stand off the answer because that's what we're doing together with so many great scientific groups via a concentration of your scientific minds, actually on the oil fall. a mother texted me. we have all the technologies, the marine research institute offer. we've got all sorts of equipment here, all very high tags. yes,

i'm really looking forward to know that it's finally getting underway. all kinds of measuring and testing equipment we used during this expedition, including this giant boat land, which has already been in service for 25 years at the lending gate that's. that's right. but then not for the moon, but for lending on the c beds so. so very much like that, so we will drop it from the ship and most of the, with some different kinds of sensors. and then it's, it goes in 3 full to 4. can you meet your steps and then make a quiet landing on the sea. that's all we want to know, what's the impact this of the c mining, which is a concern to many people also to myself. i think we needs good up to faces of sufficient stone there. close to where this money is going to happen. so we know better that we can better predicts what's in pennsylvania such as want to

investigate fast well, industry is ready to dig this advertisement for the canadian mining enterprise. the metals company promises a simple solutions. energy from the sun and wind is replacing fossil fuels to power the transmission to a sustainable future. we need batteries to store this energy. batteries are made from metals such as cobalt, nickel, copper and main. denise. until now we've been mining the earth for them, digging deep uh and wider for lower quality orse. nature disappears. human software, earth software. but there's another way of all that's needed a mutton right box. but is it that simple? the canadian city of toronto is wes simmons. this semester lives. she's the head of

sustainable se for the belgian mining company g. i saw them manganese know jo, collectivism to getting a series of tests in the pacific as we are together globally. we are facing a climate crisis and i think, you know, there is this increasing recognition around the world that we need to do something and we need to do something now. so that's a big part of that is moving towards clean energy. so moving away from, from fossil fuels and what that means is that we're moving away from a planet fuel on fossil fuels to one that is built on metals and minerals because clean metal technology is so metal intensive. so for these were materials have come from mines on land, located primarily in asia and africa. the work is often disruptive and tom sold to nature the mines that are often located in politically unstable countries like the

democratic republic of congo, where there's not much respect for human rights. the work is often suffer horrendous working conditions risking their lives sticking metals that fetched prices fall greater than the wages. the industry says getting results is from the c that will be far easier. we have options about where those metals can come from and, and we're exploring one which is going to the sea floor for them. and there's a lot of reasons why going to the sea floor intuitively seems to make some sense. and one is we don't need to remove that for us. and in some cases, tropical rain forests are being removed to get some nickel. we don't need to remove for us or are single trees to get to the middle of its on the sea floor. nor do we need to move mountains to get to the orbit or body. and people don't need to be

relocated. so right away those, those reasons make a lot of sense. and of course, that doesn't mean that we can just dive to the deep sea and, and not do it thoughtfully. we also have to get the research done so that we understand how to proceed well minimizing our environmental footprint to come, that'd be deep sea results collection without causing new environmental problems. the islands price deposited from san diego for a 6 week expedition to find out expect patients for hi miss you own is this mission is to investigate the environmental impacts of all this. we know a lot about this marine habitats on the it's ecology, do you? but the animal is that and if that of on this but not necessarily what the impact will be when big equipment and machines on driving around on the see, find a me of us board and have them find on our objective is simply to it says to

finalize how and to mutually take measurements. so we can present these findings to the public and a scientific key balanced way younger. some chop please. no, it's fine. science industry and policy makers all watch the expedition closely. the findings could have far reaching consequences, as humans move towards the age of green technology. the of the crew and researches waived farewell. as the san diego sky line was seated, the boats went off into the night of 2 as some countries and companies would like to develop new sources for room materials as quickly as possible to make the ocean a source of mineral resources. the k, pavel days, 10 islands, located around 600 columbus has of the west african coast. the

country has half a 1000000 inhabitants, most of them to send it from form african slaves. once a colony of poach ago it gained independent same 1975. the, even though capes that is considered one of the most prosperous countries in africa, the stand the loss of poverty. so many the see is the source of life. with a look at the coast line and some places indicate something is wrong here. whether one, sandy beach is a now on the stove, the kind of a go works for the conservation organization. loved to know. she also takes people on choice.

the nature has been most of leslie explored to the women. what should truck go by loaded with sand from the show? this was just bought the sand and you so we sell to someone else. so they come here steak and the cents and then sell it to the market. is like a small business. he's not the really big company. so there are several taxes was just only one. and as you see dozens of so much st anymore, so you need to that they're still exist. it would be so it is a against the low. it's would be then a big a descent, but the surveillance is very weak. that's the big problem. it's not allowed

to big sams. uh oh, there is not civilians here, but it could be controlled on the road. but no one doesn't yeah. the 2 conservationists look on stands to see how these people are legally stripping sand from beneath stuff feet. no, i mean have i got another truck is loaded this time with sand taken from the sea bed days ago. the sound is sold as rule material for the construction industry for use this back. breaking job has been the only way for people like maria to a little money to the 80

piece. think i'm side of it. that's very exhausting and tiring. sometimes there's even a dangerous drowning we found in the walton like this. it's dangerous so much. but if we don't do this, there is no other way for us to win money. you know, put that on the spot. yeah. leo. the conservationist think diane ok, i'm are you the magic on a lounge that years ago? the bay of lee, but at the back row was a sandy beach covered with demons. nothing of that remains today and i told him i will happily assist the people digging up the sand to know what they doing here isn't right. i will find something you want to ask uh how much they had to do this kind of job. and that was shocked, because each truck is around $30.00 to $40.00 euros, and if they are desperate to sell even friends,

5 years they sell and the driver will say at least around hondas trying to use uh, i even ask if they would like to change the job to do something else. they said yes, the schedule is as the sand is being taken from the seas for use beaches of disappearing and not just in cape reading. the sand discovered in small bouts or with a numerous industrial ships from many oceans. the impacts on devastating scientists

and conservationists of low moon dive degradation of habitats for power from direct to the intellect we all consume directly or indirectly with sand or gravel that comes from the ocean's theme. this is also a very big problem in the construction industry worldwide. because so much sand and gravel are being taken from beaches, including right off the coast that entire eco systems are now changing. biodiversity is suffering. an entire structures are being eroded um and last but not least organized. maggio like groupings are work behind the scenes. people are forced to transport sound illegally, comfortable, entire islands are now almost free of sand in order. it must be said to enable a construction boom in the globalized absolutely, the west side, which would actually have no future at all in this day and age. and it will help kind of so this is an issue that is causing major problems in our scenes at the moment. but hardly anyone knows that hopefully mobile high to the slicing will call

me month in india, africa, and all over the world, even in the north sea, sand is being dredged from sea beds. descriptions of sandy c shows no longer ring true. the, the, the suns typically makes up around one so just concrete, gigantic buildings, and does it country 0. so it may just send from the sea because does it sound does on suitable for building the even the sand to prestige projects such as the artificial islands of 2 by,

comes from the sea for exploitation has fatal consequences for coastal areas, microorganisms, and habitats on either the well, the meanwhile, the islands pride has headed for an area of ocean known as the korean clipton zone between mexico until i hear enormous quantities of poly metallic nodules, an estimated 13000000000 tons lie on the sea floor. it takes almost 6 days for the island to pride to reach its destination. these devices help the keys to the expedition success. everything have to work. the tension was palpable. there was such as play music to help themselves relax. that is, i'm the one that's at t v 9. now this is what's called

a d z nanda. and inside the module like this, optical measuring device so, so many electrodes all connected to it in a corner. they all these roads that we see here is a very small to the optic lean measurements, the oxygen content in the center module. so the whole thing is know it to the sea floor. and then there was a motor on it, its programs before him on the floor, and we then use it to drive these roads into the settlement, talking and measure how much oxygen is the last of that really high attack, right? because it's definitely yeah, it's a challenge for any device conditions or extreme columbus has below the surface. the supposed to be a mess. and yes, it's just turned down that what we want to measure from the oxygen levels on the sea floor in the distribution without produce different results when you bring them up all day in columbus and, and oxygen is something, as we know ourselves. that's essentially system how many organisms use oxygen and

we see that as an indicator of how much the system is messed. the 1st thing is to up and if you just the substrate a loss will remove it completely. you're taking away a layer that's being deposited of a mini thousands of years where active processes take place in a bind to stood it up or gotten rid of in civil and the last thing you saw. so you already have a chance to see now from the measurements. does that have an effect to does it look exactly the same as it did before? and that's nbc dead and all the island pride has made its way to the belgian license area. this is where it was due to join the ship belonging to the belgian mining company g. s. saw the boat was that to test baton. yeah. the weld says to machine prototype, so collecting manganese know deals that come to me or my god lends itself the call

to the i it's i really a lot of manganese nodules here. you can see on the map with a mark license serious that the international c bet is 30 for manganese naturals are the ones at the moment. these are all exploration licensed areas for companies or countries of acquired licenses and are looking to see how many men can use no deals are located there, which parts of the area of mines in on your phone. you know, we're going to the belgian license area and this is licensed as health as the company gsr um with an ask and then and 2 weeks ago to go to the german licensed area which is a bit south west that there's stuff on for a new guest house person of contact for flush, a name was also on board. he was responsible for communication between the industrial vessel and the scientist says the tests began in the belgian license area. well, it sounded a bit like the wild west areas of mont townhome the see that the 2nd nation. so companies are allowed to explore, such as the belgian company g. i saw here they were already in the working area.

this meeting was taking place on the high scenes on the loading platform at the moment, and the g stood petunia, able to dive to a depth of several 1000 meters. the its 1st knife was being prepared. the technical challenge was for me to vote the device out to manage the extreme

pressure and maneuver the program to rates independently connected to the ship by a supply line. only a stick has a human um the g i saw i'd been developing the baton. yeah. as a many, is this, the model was built a few years ago. now petunia too was to face its 1st real test. if it passed with flying colors, the vessel could possibly become a message for commercial c bed mining in the future. so for tanya, 2 is a say for non dual collector and i think the easiest way to picture it is to think of a vacuum cleaner. so the vehicle's been designed to pick up nodules and leave as much settlement behind as possible and then bring them to basically collect them. and

eventually that vehicle be collected to a riser, which will bring the nodules to the surface. but latanya too was designed to collect the nodules and initially collected them in a bin at the back of the vehicle. and then those modules were the positives away from the the vehicles tracks and other points in the trial. here was now it's several times into the deep sea to test this new technology. it looks like something out of a science fiction movie. the meanwhile, on the island pride full small, stayed in touch with his d. s. on colleagues on the industrial ship and was brief to how to use the manganese don't to collect to for the upcoming dive.

so as sylvie's quite to show, he had to pass this information onto, the scientists said that the sensitive underwater and measuring instruments would not collide with baton. you right now is put tanya manganese. no jewel mining in the deep sea is technically feasible. the thoughts question still remains, how great. so the environmental risks, and all they was taking the, the backing tapes that day on the largest island distant jago, the some of the former sandy beaches and now just barren stones owners. the sound has been gathered up and sold

stones mixed with golf age, dominate the base. this dillard marine scene has been severely damaged. the, the world stood largest population. if you look ahead see test whole lives around cape sadie. today the animal is on the read list of endangered species. it's strictly protected, but the removal of the sand, the stubs habitats vital. so that reproduction on the vega into conservation organization are committed to protecting the titles on a it's shocking to see a females struggling over the hot stones and finding no place to lay her rags. yes, if used to be a sandy beach, but i didn't uh, knew this place before. i've just bought some older people and locals will describe

this place as sandy beach tassels return to the beach where they hatched to lay their eggs. usually it takes 20 years for the animals to reach sexual maturity. that much has changed into decades. yeah, the vatican said stores because this is the device and last year, but there is no sense. so it came out, but unfortunately it was 3000 to see. it came this morning of august the 7th day am the the really, really fast. because a manual. the deck has wound around here. maybe i've been going to use the

uh, slide to mess and when it came out that that these house being completed by human beings really said, so i think we have a youtube here. so i to store this place is what is the remote the, the conservation on a has a degree in marine biology. she spent time abroad and realized that something must urgently be done in her home country to protect the oceans on nature. she found it the nature conservation organization loved to know right here in 2013. but now dozens of help us of working on projects on the beaches. things of really taking off are usually ones because the visions to be successful. we need people, locals, so we get to see that like a special for the nature of the spaces and the size such as it was more difficult,

but now he sees it and he just doesn't. she stopped to have the meeting state to face and also which likely via life and then to and his approach is simple, financed by donations and tries to generate awareness by adding a bit of contact. for example, photo mosquito is the name of this fishing village on the by i go in, found no hills bay. the fishing boats beached on stones assigned to own ship to way and then walks through the village and she's proud and lots has changed here in the last few months. the place has a new look what i can see in the last one day when i started doing the painting it was wet. when, as i could see, was this regarding the fishing and see buds and the locals. they like it and we saw

it as a positive way of make people more aware about the nature of conservation. so we saw some green, the faces about the local bi adversity, and we didn't stop yet. so we plan to do more. for instance, the global, the village in beautiful banking with rock, smoke people and so the local can associate this visit with uh, it was the reason i live in now. ocean flora and fauna decorate the facades of the houses. they are a constant reminder of the importance of preservation. the exact to this famous marine explorer plays an important role deductible, visited by using fam in 1948 with 2 of the clinics.

so don't know and the speaker so they came here best and equipment. they want the, if you want to do some record of nevada, this notion. so we decided to bring back to this family that was almost lost because the majority of the locals, we didn't even know who was jack. so and if, if she or she was around here, the check still was a legendary ocean. explore the french diving pioneer and still commentary filmmaker introduced people to the underwater. well like to know of the, the hebrews images of the depths, never seen before into the world's living means the crystal wanted to explode the unknown world under the sea,

and called to the oceans to be protected. the, this is the french atlanta coast, not far from the mouth and why river. the granddaughter of jack castille and her family live nearby. after her father's death, alexandra cristo spent almost her entire childhood with her grandfather that left it smoke. she's very concerned about the state of the ocean's. i think if we continue with business as usual, where we're over fishing, we're booting, we are advancing with ideas like deep sea mining. we're going to see our ocean disappear and we'll continue to see a decline. and at a certain point,

you reach tipping points where you have exponential loss. and that's hard to come back from. you can't really come back from exponential loss, like we can't put coven back in the bottle. you know that the damage is done. so once we reach those tipping points with the ocean, the damage will be done and we won't be able to reverse it. the next sondra says that her grandfather to try to dive before she could walk hun love as the oceans is his legacy. like him, she makes document trees, advocates for the preservation of marine environments, and look for ways to save the oceans, the sixty's she wishes, she still had her grandfather at to side in addition to her husband, whose then now my grandfather passed

away 20 years ago. and left a huge void in the world, not just for me and my family, but i think it felt like there was this huge cruise, so shaped hole in the universe after he died that no one himself. but what i realize is that every time someone tells me i grew up watching your grandfather, he really inspired me. i love the ocean now, and i want to do something to help protect it. we're finally at a point in time where we can maybe 10 years ago, 20 years ago, we weren't, we didn't have the technologies, we didn't have the solutions, we didn't have the urgency that we have today. and so my hope is that for everyone who loved him and loved his feelings and loved exploring the oceans with him,

and that discovery and sense of on wonder that he brought my hope is that they will harness that and use it to create change. because that is the best legacy he could possibly have left us the on the cape that day, islands on or into groups of hell post of bills to protection area for total clutches on one of the remaining sandy beaches. the educational signs show passes by the importance of the oceans and the knife in them. the. this is where the tassels laid directs for weeks and then to know what she's over the catches of eggs that have been collected here the organization and shows the

baby tassels can hach safely. we are checking which in this red hutch, which to nest the by now we have a 147 mess here. so the team would checking the box is too hot for the people to have a job. so that the money, the assembly, and also twice the sensor, this fashion of nature small steps, but they make a difference. the jack coastal would likely be happy to see these efforts to conserve maureen

wildlife the the, [000:00:00;00] the endless expenses of bad war to stretch beyond the island, pride's helicopter platform, he is to, to level the ships in the fountain license area in the clarion campus in zone in the pacific ocean, from the jack summers to your pin,

scientists watched as the belgian company, g, a saw pine, the tickets, deep diving, high tech machine, from it shipped the norman to energy the . now the research has many measuring instruments and senses and robots known as are these were coming into play. no, at 4 and a half, columbus has down into the depths. they were positioned around the deployment area on the sea bed wip atanya was making its way the . the scientists wanted to know the impact that time you would have on nature. the control room is located on one of the lower decks of the island prides. and the

pilots was sitting staring at them on his, his hours as they controlled the robots on the deep sea floor. with there was an overwhelming feeling of being in a different love. the assistant station is as cost. it actually is the corner of the wells that we've been the now, and everything was seeing him. nobody else has seen before. 7, actually, that's always exciting. scientific history was being made at that moment. 4 and a half 1000 meters below the ship. extremely important, research was taking place under extreme conditions.

the finally a job for jacob. it's the beginning of a new life. her situation is a novelty in cost of those where it's nearly impossible for people with disabilities to find where jacob opportunity is. thanks to a non profit organization. she's happy and simple to use these to posting her whole seminar focus on europe. in 30

minutes on w hunting in the arctic circle. who has the right to do so? sweet and supreme court has ruled that exclusive gain hunting and fishing rights to be restored to one of the oldest funding communities. it was a historic moment for the saw me and a source of aggravation for so we just hunter ask the imagine that you're eating a hamburger and as you're biting into this juicy burner, your dining companion says to you, actually that hamburger is not made from cows it's made from golden retriever's. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 in meeting cultures around the world,

people learn to classify small handful of animals with edible and all the rest they classify as disgusting, a donkey series, so about our complex relationship with animals. we need to be watching now on youtube. d. w documentary, the business dw news, and these are the top stories. the presidents of the us and friends have led ceremonies commemorating the 80th anniversary of the day. on june 6th 1944 allied troops landed on the beaches of normandy to begin the liberation of western europe from nazi germany. it was the biggest sable and innovation in history and is rarely attack on the you and run school and gone. so it has killed at least
