antoinette ex and facebook pages of the hands of the w please. i'm the whole johnny, thanks for watching. goodbye the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day an in depth look at these events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is. this is the weekdays on dw, 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 already exists. the 1st prototype of a deep sea collect test of the treasure 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 was the risk this isn't included in them. these are basically batteries in stone form. this is exactly what you need to

build a battery. there's manganese nickels, cobalt and copper to conduct the electricity. environmental protection organizations such as green piece one to prevent d. c. mining at all costs it's the last cost of the planet that humans have yet to exploit for resources or the oceans in danger. the sale has appeared on the horizon. the green pieces rainbow warrior was approaching the norman dennis,

the, the scientists beside the unnerved, everyone was wondering what was happened, the information about this happening much except to say that they're making the action. so a pretty, it's a little the move us and smashed designs because we don't know piece are the only thing green piece has emphasize you this such a peaceful console's but peaceful protests, no help. and we can only hope that's what's going on. um opens. this is cindy, obviously waiting on the target. got that so sure. you understand. as soon as we moved away a little bit thing raced away, garage, we don't know what they're doing. bussey to the turn lighter. something is

happening on the starboard side board. and unfortunately, we can't see it, or we can trust the green peace activists found and documented their actions themselves. they approached the industrial ship, unpainted risk on its side it was a protest operation on the high seas. the environmental protection organization relies on striking images and messages in many languages to galvanized supports green piece considered as the commercial exploitation of the deep sea to be a fatal mistake. the

savannah, i'm absolute as for pollution on some name, and that's the key. they would be an absolute crime to assume that the deep sea is a barren desert, where you can do a bit of digging for manganese nodules and other oars, without having any impact on this a ton of device. that's what people would like to tell you. and i don't think the general public is aware that the deep sea is teeming with life on the companies involved. and deep sea mining aren't necessarily interested in reviewing the damage that's taking place down there. often, often home to the time they should including and the long term shops and some of the long sandwich animals. and ultimately, plants such as clinton are being affected on in midland yourself. that sort of them of the this is from dr. beasen does. it's already been proven that c o 2 has been bound and the sentiments deposited on the amc for many thousands of years switched off. that means carbon that originally came from the atmosphere apo spanish attempt to decipher. you disturb and stir up the set amounts to bend. there is definitely a risk that this seo to this carbon that is currently sequestered down there. a

demo could also be released back into the water and ultimately into the atmosphere . and you'll see on off the game, the green piece is rainbow, we attract the newman to energy for weeks with the aim of producing images to generate support from the city of unemployment. so putting in the boy, let's make the point right now. yeah, the all, we want to make sure the oceans continue to have the possibility in the next years of the next millennium to be climate resilient, just syncing something they can be. if we start digging and destroying the deep sea floor problem. succession to other than when it's not just taking out rocks or, and metals and then, but also the biology, the life forms and destroying their habitat. because all of this is involved in the climate stability of our oceans and our planet was on sundays.

a meeting was held in the conference room on the islands. pride's the occasion green pasted, issued an invitation to a worldwide international video conference. i use the n g a is objective was to prevent possible deep sea mining. it reports is on its concerns, giving arguments why disrupting the depths must be stopped at any costs before it really gets under way. before we can even say they also took a slide to the scientist see within researching the effects, such an intervention would have green. p said it wasn't genuine science is the right time or the influence that's outraged to the scientists. they said they would continue to carry out neutral research in order to ultimately provide data on the findings, the to rule, so used by environmental protection organizations. and then and

so the, some of the research has showed understanding for the protest on the high seas. and the concerns of the environmental protection organization, sikesdale. hi, cliff came off on this just a very sensitive issue. but everyone has the right to be concerned and also to protest. we are, of course we will try to be very neutral in our analysis on an easy and that's certainly correct. but that's always the question of what the science is used for. i says, imagery progress deciding that isn't natural stuff is albany that's will be done by the policy makers will have to develop the regulations. you do, you have a favorite of what we're trying to do here is record what potentially happened if a device like that, which a drive around on the see feel i may have is located

in the middle of the caribbean. see the island country. jamaica is home to the institution that will decide what the deep c mining is permissible, the, the international c pedal, sorry t, or i say for sure it has its headquarters here, founded in 1994 by the united nations. it's the overarching body that decides what happens beneath the waves. so all that i say contract is which are a combination of different entities, some governments, some private sector, some state research organizations, all of them having view, eventually the sustainable explanation of deep sea mineral results, as i say, must proceed on the basis of 2 fundamental conditions one is that we act on the

basis of the best available scientific advice through extensive consultation. and the 2nd visit we act on the basis of consensus. and most of the member states that make the decision that's currently a $167.00 countries, including gemini, they develop the guidelines known as the mining coach, according to which deep sea mining would be possible. we have a very unique opportunity here that actually has never been done before, which is that we have a whole new industry that will proceed only when the regulations of inputs in place . usually it's the other way around, industry stats. and then people start to react by trying to find a way to regulate it or to stop that things from happening or to ensure that good things happen. yeah, it's completely the other way around. we will,

we have an opportunity to, to get it right before we even start, which is unprecedented actually. and this is a really great opportunity. so really, it's a, it's a very highly transparent organization. what everybody has an opportunity to have to say and provide input into this emerging new industry. so this is where the decision is to be made. taking into account the interests of industry, the findings of science and the concerns of environmental protection organizations . nature conservation versus a $1000000000.00 business. cool. when in the end the, the island pride was sent out to work in the carry and k puts in. so it's an area the size, if you run more than $30000000000.00 tons of manganese, no jewels. the said to lie on the ocean floor here. it's an enormous tricia,

and there is no way retrieving. it will happen without disturbing the deep sea flow . so the results attorneys walk, the machine has stood up notched settlement. what does this mean for the environment? the address was the same as the search engine, but it says my god cannot and having taught yes, the one we see here is the manganese natural habitats next to the tracks of baton young, where the disturb settlement has already settled on. it's completely covered the manganese nodules and phone, and possibly it's testing for this privilege of what we want to find out now. so what sickness? the settlement does negative permanent damage, and i more sickness. the phone i can possibly tolerate phone. i eventually identify

photography and you know, stone, i tossed over the landscape and covered everything in its way on the measuring devices and needed to be brought up to deck for evaluation. a process, it took many hours the, the research is eager to see what have been brought up. even though the results of the analyses would like to remain unknown for months until they were affinity assessed. and then the bar trees of the institutes in europe. the 1st we've got to rinse them is

because salt water is very corrosive to the electrical components within will download the data and take a look at something morganze noise. these are the manganese nodules, and you can see that they were actually covered with deposited settlement agreement, but because the water is now slashing back and forth here. the settlement just watches away. but it doesn't matter because we have to free the nodules from the settlement anyway. in order to collect the animals that live on them in the system. and you see when you cut the manganese natural open, there's a core material around which it forms superstate. the nodule is made up of metal oxides, manganese oxides, and then there's copper and nickel and cobalt imaging, as well as traces of other metals. and that's slowly builds up around the core

material. that is such a nodule with a radius of around 4 centimeters would be close to 2000000 years old. by many we all right. so the nodules, a pre historic stay, one's own eyes that the ship tests were being carried out in the bar at chase, as well as here in the cold drain. everything that had come from the depths was analyzed in detail. studying the structure and activity of microbial communities in the settlement samples is the work of tech issues such but to hon. yup. on the human history mean start to exploit and the see did results and that generally, unfortunately, the best for me to them in den for us, but this time of year. so exactly, because we need those resources loops up because they consume

a lot of this time we will see infects and maybe this time we can just stream our impact on nature them to use those resources in more sustainable that environment. defend the rate. uh, personally, i would rather choose costume less and i don't size to the phone every 2 years for example. so i will decide to reduce if possible values and recycling dan, and not touch the sea floor as much as possible, but the people needed it looks so the tanya shot man has taken her seat in the control room. as a biologist, she was getting the chance to search the deep sea flow for knowledge animals.

working with the robot pilots. the assurance drifting by didn't arouse much interest, fast teaching list of mid t, as in david. so we've got a specific list of animals that we should gather fast, and we still have about an hour to hopefully find a few more starfish on, on the few seeing them in the, in the, in the morning, people take them to name and, and suck them up just like a vacuum cleaner. owns um, nothings happening over that phone. no, i mean we will just press the different try to try to set it in. yes, you can empty the video, you can try to have internet. tanya, t. r i on the cnn. the name, the,

the robot found some other animals on shot to see patch data strange. it's amazing that animals can live here. we're told where the pressure is many hundreds of times higher than the surface the was laid to the robot to finished it. search on the sea bed and was pulled back on the phone with it came the collection of animals. the biologist was quite excited

to focus his i'mma. it'd be a, i'm happy about, but the to come back, even though i am probably the only one. now to see, to come, but goes into the cold room, so that mike monique, and i sent you to tomorrow morning. so you had con, is it still alive? me? no, i don't think that can handle the pressure difference to just measuring the temperature difference of over 20 degrees. they die on the way out. it was a special moment for the of the scientists to they were thrilled to hold these life forms from the depths close to them. it's difficult to world that's the

tanya shot, my nose, that human as he barely has a clue about what lives deep below the waves bulls that they knew at the time of the mission was that bio diversity is high in the depths of the korean clip attends of stomachs, but suspects that despite the address conditions deep below the surface, that could be great to species diversity. then even on land, it's possible that tanya shed hotman had brought a previously unknown species up on deck. honestly, i'm not sure if this is

a new species. that's why we're freezing it right now. it's minus 80 degrees, so that my colleagues at the same come back institute can determine if it is a new species we've just discovered. or if it's only one still unfamiliar to me, it's possible that this one on the left in the deep sea or i just don't know it yet . of the day, it was a time of wonder and joy opposed the island pried the far away on the islands to escape that day in the atlantic. the conservationists of land to now was celebrating this small success the in summer during the night time sea tassels come on shore to lay their eggs. they usually begin reproducing at the age of 20. that's when the females find their way

back to the beaches where they will have to lay that ro next the if and lucky they'll find sand to dig a hole for the next the the teen from land to net is spending every night for 3 weeks. they find the nests, pick them up and take them to the protected nursery. there are too many nest products, has those human and animals. i like to let nature take its course. without the help of the conservationists, the titles would have an even greater struggle to survive, given that shrinking habitat. there are moments of one to every night now at the small nest, 3 baby tassels are in the jing taking their way out of the sun. it's

the time of joy and satisfaction for anna into teen when it's happening, he says, is that i choose so you can see the baby so. so now we are going to fast the see how long the the wage message and counted precise records are kept. and then they, given the little head starts the off spring, a carefully carried close to the sea. so they went full prey to anything or any one

on the beach. yes, 70 yes . and there was there on the back of the the, the but i'm a says there is much more to be done to improve the condition of the oceans. stripping ascend from so many beaches is also affected. marine life just of the case. food sources for fish have dwindles, and there are a few opportunities to spoon the fishes less and less and need to go as

a father out that's under as proud of the fact that fishing here is sustainable. it's only about people's individual needs growth as an industrial bottom trolling. and hoax nines that extend for columbus has this no bike chinese done this boat takes in its catch of the day. a gina, this size is enough to feed several families. fishing like this doesn't comm ocean bio diversity. but that's not the case everywhere on the high seas. according to the u. n. food and agriculture organization. once the old fish stokes, a rosa fished, technically sophisticated lodge fishing fleets, the scouring the oceans back cut close to set by politicians often miss the target. a huge fleet of chinese industrial

fishing vessels works around the world. round the clock. at sea, for months they load the couches directly on to congo ships, many billions of dollars in subsidies fuel this home full ton during this the oceans, the chinese ships like this one. this specially designed to catch squids the animals are attracted by powerful lights at nights. these birds fly the horses mainly in the indian ocean or work of south america. these images taken from space, show light sources of the coast of patagonia evidence of chinese ships hunting for split. the vio, sorry caesar will but powerless. there are a few ways to monitor the watches. and even if there are countries have no

authority outside is that right and territorial voices. queen peace was monitoring the indian ocean some months in the summer of 2021. they with that to document as a fishing and the legal fishing. with the type not to be the item before. in the meantime, they've gone back to using dress net. so they were banned 30 years ago by the un cronan. but just a few months ago in the indian ocean, we were able to document kilometer long that's being deployed and focused on these are known as well. guns, very thin, barely perceptible filaments, often made of night long, visual and asthma, garnish bonding behind for kilometers. i'm deep in the ocean hanging me to bite long one's teeth there left a long time and taken everything that drifts along in the water voss and they don't only know their target, some bases such as to know or sort fish upstairs. listen to the star turtles. cellphones as wells sharks, raised and many,

many other animals that are not on their list at all. and ultimately only go overboard as unwanted bycatch. and vision was one of inch by fung blocking the this is the next as in the campaign was evaluated at green peace headquarters. the activists of 9 for a long time, the life on the high seas is like nice in the wild west. and yeah. or illegal fishing and the fishing and destructive fishing practices continue to strengthen ocean life and know that the, let's find the bid nailed. ones are going to set the latest figures from the u. n. food and agriculture organization said quite clearly about 60 percent of the world's food for stocks are exploited and exhausted to their biological limit drive . and around 30 or $32.00 are severely depleted sense and that means more is being

removed from ecosystems. me more fish are being fish in the oceans, then can replenish themselves biologically and naturally you lucas will not to this indeed, not locks and come to ministration taken, and stokes cannot renew. this also affects the fishes like here in the west and baltic sea fishing company located knows if keel is looking for ways to secure the future of gemini, small scale fish's. opening. the study has shown the college has almost disappeared. and tearing this threat, the staple catches of the bolts had cuz been of the fished for years. as a result,

the eu has almost completely banned the catch of both fish species father and son, maya are able to continue because they switch to different species and fish sustainably. we've always been fishers, and you could almost say since time in the morning. it's our lives passion and the best job there is. look around freedom, beautiful weather today and whatnot. wonderful. no stress, no annoying people kind enough and image on the actually there's not much to allow for that. small scale fishes on the bowl ticket becoming a raspy. she's themselves the maya's, want to keep working within their own way whiskey and that's what i'm one of the longest serving fishers here on board. and as long as i'm allowed to pilot

a boat with permission from the fisheries trade association, i'll be up the hill and i've kind of 5 the. the volume is also fixed, cold and hiring for decades. within the last 20 years, they noticed the stokes dwindling numbers of college in the west and baltic a so low some scientist style. they will have a recovery. that's why years ago the maya shifted to only catching fish. this is still relatively plentiful, isn't good. port charlotte, this is place. you can, i mean everybody knows it licensed, i just got a whiteside on foot and it's annoying li, slippery loving as smooth as an heel. it is. this is this will be the 1st. so you man and it goes and healings. we also use a beeping device by the way, to ward off porpoises. but you can also hear it sounds like it's quite soft now. yes. yeah. there's one here and one at the end of and they work off each

other. i can show you that there's gotta be one every 200 meters and they scare off the corporate side so they don't swim into the net them. so my us have committed themselves to fishing sustainably and taking only as much as they needs to. and then the thing never the less they still struggle with you regulations into so didn't doesn't it was over them. yeah. it's to send. there's no flesh on it. what are we going to do with it? why should we take it with us? i'm just, i just don't get it and we have gloves on the fish. i have nothing if there's a light. this law applies to fishing withdrawal or smith mean it says we have to take everything we catch hold on getting rid of them. so it's counted towards the quota because they're supposedly dead any way. and that's the basis for this law. yeah. if we don't get it, we're supposed to take it, but we won't even look because why should i kill it? i'm going to enter it. honestly, it's such a nonsense, at least for us, that's on the full the problem with this law is that wishing with

a trawler is acquainted with gomez? i like like like is it? that's complete idiots. the in my eyes pulling up roots, in other words, for the few fish we catch that are too small, like this one here. and we just don't take them yet. that only we refused to do so as let me it was divided on. so we're trying to avoid knitting smaller feet. how about using larger matches and much, much lights are mesh size is 10 percent larger than required. so we bring in good quality, significantly larger phase. i'll give you this on the initial thought. the clothes are profession is really getting a criminal reputation. autozone trimming that can't be right. it can easily think of it. that's good news. so now things are about to get bloody. the industrial trolling lead to this knowledge, international fishing boat supplied the baltic for you is taking what the see how to effect sustainable fishing and selling close to the consumer became the mayas molto on the fish from cortez websites. it's probably buses on core designs. we

officially say comfortable in life for some of them now i am writing on fish fun because that we want to sell our fish right away. um, what do we have? we have macro and we have target, and we have placing the we won't make 10 o'clock anymore, so we've got to change that 1st just about 11 to one. that just takes a few seconds and then it's up on the fish bottom quotes us side right away. that's good because i know it's reloading fish for beforehand. there's a new address lloyd, from the back of the pups that can assist you. but that's where we're about to go to sell macro turban place on until 1 pm and, and it goes at least to give in his eyes. like how's dusk doing the right thing is easy to come by, what you can get where you live? no. the cutoff is that leaves us with potatoes and cabbage, but that's how we save the world. and that's the point. we don't need huge container ships. we have one right now. there's one coming up behind us. they distribute all the junk from around the world and then we just need what's here.

and it's a wonderful product. honestly, i don't see any of the miles saving the world. if everyone behaved like this, the oceans might not be in crisis. and neither would the fishing profession, the after the 2nd world war, there was $3000.00 fishing businesses on the baltic coast of shows to be hostile. now and the, a few dozen small fishes are left who are trying to survive by a sustainable guild that phishing the meanwhile lodge industrial fishing boats with huge nets continue to fish as if there were no issue . the

to miles have been fishes, the h generations, they don't know whether it will go on. but if it does, then like this, no, i remember we need a macro and to place to this one. yes, that's very nice into place. yes. the medium size, and that would be all for us. all right? then that 13 your reading centrally. sometimes it really does happen that we have no fish for 3 or 4 days when the wind blows across the baltic and we can't go out of the could. you just have to accept it other stuff, even though we're not a supermarket, we can only deliver when we tap some tests flip into a suspicious rest. and so 2 is the health of the oceans. this is assessing

is just one reason why the oceans are in crisis. unbridled over exploitation is threatening the seas. alexandra castillo limits that in the end, we will just tom ourselves as well as our environment. the granddaughter of ocean exploration, kasteel knows the oceans, covers 71 percent of the planets produce health of our oxygen and absorb huge amounts of c o. 2. right now we still have the opportunity to change how we fish to put a moratorium on deep sea. my names have an opportunity to expand ocean farming in a way that's regenerating with seaweed for us growing around the world and the restoration of sea grass beds and mangroves and salt parsons. we still have a chance to do that in a way that will actually rebuild our oceans and, and bring that life back. i think sandra costume has set up

a foundation. cold oceans 2050 and it's a missed to restore ocean. have a tense. she and other ocean conservation advocates believe the salt list. disrespectful exploitation of marine life needs to end most these eagles that's we must make a clear change, of course, towards marine protection and away from expectations. also, it goes without saying, we use resources from the see if we need them, but it has to be regulated environmentally sustainable level. we must prevent all the damage we can print and it's actually extremely late now already. in some cases, we're 5 minutes before a doomsday and in others 5 minutes after arrival. one can only hope that our oceans also have a future because our future as humans depends on it directly to think that we are still unacquainted with the depths. we're only just beginning to understand what goes on deep blood, the surface, and the significance,

these processes have an i phone lines. the energy transition must take place. climate change must be stopped, but is commercial mining and the deep sea west? the risk? you know, we do need a colossal amount of metal to achieve that and that metal needs to come from somewhere. and by all means, recycling is hugely important and can play a role, but it isn't enough to get us there for decades to comments. so new sources of metal will be needed. and um, for gsr we, you know, we're aiming for 2028 as the earliest date for commercial production. after a 6 week expedition exploring the deep sea, the voyage of the islands pride to slowly come to an end. the scientists did a lot of testing measuring, observing on think even if many final test results can only be reveals

of 2 evaluation in labs back home. the research is already knew that the harvesting of the c bed was just about unstoppable is showing dot com. i believe it will come at some point one box we want development. we want to prove we want a high standard of living. and i think that should be the case for the entire world population. for that, we will need metal in sam d, phelman m of i from that perspective i told the companies in what ways continue, continue to research and trying to tap into this tricia here. and then we also if ask your opinions, david, do it on since maybe then people in asia well as blog or so on. but i do believe that at some point the time will come when the mining will take place on circle. yeah, that's a big only that touch base because because their trust present less or is this

one's, these are, those are the tradeoffs that we actually have to make as a society or is it worth it to us to destroy our great sustainable system. we want to indulge and this continued long term damage that goes way beyond our generation, or is it worth it to us to rec, so i think because we're talking about huge areas of st bedroom by the mountain. but if we just continue on with our consumption of these metals and don't achieve a sustainable cyclical economy, which we will have completely destroyed, bt areas like the entire body and clipper consumer to come up with an 50 to a 100 years. this will not be on complex. i still need me talking about an area that's 30058000 kilometers much. i can to give you the size of your that's the time that we have destroyed nations. of course, we already need to keep that in mind. tom, i was wondering, i thought that my fault and the
