does across the state, scientists and not sure what causes the mystery illness. theories include changes in the ocean environments and heavy stones. an investigation is ongoing. updates the consequences of industrial exploitation of the ocean floor. i'm painful and stay with us. i'll see you next now with mobile pedals. the can you see what old car tires have to do with the production? here's a hands on the real media. watch now on youtube, 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, 9 dormant country menissi benefit from this on top, the source of wealth, the technology to harvest, it already exists. the 1st prototype of the deep sea collect to the treasure stones, is called baton. yet 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? this isn't them going to 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 and 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 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 that much except to say that they're making that action. so look pretty it's, it's for the movies and smashed designs because we don't know piece on the only thing green piece has emphasize you. this just a peaceful you just as a peaceful protest, no help. and we can only hope that's what's going on. um opens, this is cynthia obviously we're not the target. got that so sure you understand as soon as we moved away and the 2 beds and the same race to way good. ok, we don't know what that doing must be 200 sunlight. something is happening on the

starboard side walls, and unfortunately, we can't see it open trust me on the green peace activists found and documented their actions themselves. they approached the industrial ship and painted 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 just for pollution on some name, and that's the key. it would be an absolute crime to assume that the deep sea is a barren desert, where you can do a bit of digging from manganese nodules and other oars, without having any impact on this a ton of device. that's what people would like to tell you. this is, 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 is the option of the home to the time they should, including and the long term steps in some of the long sandwich animals. and ultimately plants such as the clinton are being affected on the midland shaft. some of them of the this is from dr. beasen does, it's already been proven that c o 2 has been found and the sentiments deposited on the tapes, the for many thousands of years switched off. that means carbon that originally came from the atmosphere up in the spanish attempt to decipher you, disturb and stir up the set of miles to bend. there is definitely a risk that the seo to this carbon that is currently sequestered down there. then

one could also be released back into the water and ultimately into the atmosphere, and you'll see it off the game. the green pieces, rainbow warry attracts the normand energy for weeks with the aim of producing images to generate support on the system of unimportant opinion. the boy, let's make the point right now. you know, we want to make sure the oceans continue to have the possibility in the next year in 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 reported on its concerns giving arguments why disrupting the depths must be stopped at a cost before it really gets some of the way before we can either say they also took a swipe at the scientist see what then was searching the effects such an intervention would have green p said it wasn't genuine science is the right time is 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 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 access. and why do you progress deciding that isn't that your stuff is albany that's will be done by the policy may, cuz we'll have to develop the regulations. you have to figure it out. what we're trying to do here is record will potentially happen if a device like that which a drive around on the c field

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 a say for sure which has its headquarters here founded in 1994 by the united nations. it's the overarching body that defines what happens when nice the waves. so all that i say contract is which are a combination of different entities. some governments, some uh, private sector, some uh, uh, 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 expensive consultation. and the 2nd is that we have tons of basis of consensus amongst the member states that make the decision that's currently a $167.00 countries, including gemini, they develop the guidelines, notice the mining code 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 have been put in place. usually as 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 where everybody has an opportunity to have that 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 tool. when in the end the, the island pride was sent out to work in the carry in cape button. so it's an area of the science, if you're ref, mullins t billions. holmes of mine, denise 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 result, atanya is walk, the machine has stood up notched settlement. what does this mean for the environment? the same as the search engine, but it says my god cannot and having taught yes, the one we see here is the mangan, these natural habitats. next, the tracts, a baton young with a disturb setting that has already settled on it's completely covered the manganese nodules and phone and possibly of the testing for this privilege of what we want to find out now. so what sickness? the settlement does negative permanent damage and i want sickness. the phone i can

possibly tolerate phone a event red under photography. and it looks as if i know stone. i'd passed 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 bro, tom, even though the results of the analyses would like to remain unknown for months until they will, sweeney 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 more gone. 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 bronx, to the system. and you see when you cut the manganese natural open, there's a core material around which it forms the state. the nodule is made up of metal oxides, manganese oxides. and then there's copper and nickel and co balls and maintenance, 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 of 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 and start to exploit and see the results and that identity. 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 of the consume

a lot of this time we will see infects and maybe this time we can just stream our impact on new to them and use those resources in more uh, sustainable then environment to friend 3 personally, i would rather choose consume less and i don't buy it to the phone every 2 years for example. so i've decided to reduce if possible values and recycling dance and not touch the sea floor as much as possible, but the people need it. 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 shouldn't drifting by, didn't to rouse much interest fast teaching list of mid t as in david, 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. so you know many venom and people take them to name and suck them up. just like a vacuum cleaner. owns and nothing's happening. is it that is fun thing. no, i think we will just the rest, the different try to try to stuck it in. yes, you can me the video, we can try to have it in the next tanya hotel right on the see. and then the name, the,

the robot found some other animals on shot to see that they did strange. it's amazing that animals can live here. were told by the pressure of as many hundreds of times higher than the surface the was late to the robot to, to finished it, search on the sea bed and was brought back on the phone with it came the collection of animals. the biologist was quite excited to

be a i'm happy about, but the to come back even though i am probably the only one now to see to come by goes into the courtroom so that my colleague can die secretary tomorrow morning. see, and con, is it still alive? me? no, i don't think they can handle the pressure difference for just measuring the temperature difference of over 20 degrees. not they die on the way out. it was a special moment for the other 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 humanity barely has a clue about what they've steep below the waves bulls that they knew at the time of the mission was that bio diversity is high in the depths of the clarion clip attends of some x but suspects that despite your address conditions deep below the surface, that could be great to species diversity. then even online it's possible that tanya shed hotman had broached a previously unknown species up on deck. honestly, i'm not sure if this is a new ccs. that's why we're freezing it right now. it's minus 80 degrees. so that

my colleagues at the same come back institute and 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. it was a time of wonder and joy about the island prides the faraway on the islands escaped that day. in the atlantic, the conservationists of lun tune was celebrating this small success the in summer during the night time see tassels come on show to lay their eggs. they usually begin reproducing at the age of 20. that's when the females find their way

back to the beach is where they will hatched today, their ro next the if and lucky they'll find sands to dig a hole for the next. the, the team from land to net is spending every night for 3 weeks. they find the nests, pick them up and take them to the protectiveness 3. there are too many nest products as far as human and animals. i like to let nature take its course without the help of the conservationists. the titles which have an even greatest struggle to survive, given that shrinking habitats. there are moments of one to every night now at the small ministry. baby tassels are imagine taking their way out of the sun.

it's a time of joy and satisfaction for anna into teen when it's happening, he says, is that hatches so you can see the baby so. so now we are going to fast how strong the 3 of us. but the wage measured and counted precise records are kept and then they given the little head stats of the off spring, a catholic carried close to the sea so they went full prey to anything or any one

on the beach. yes. and there was band with that the sabbath, the without the dedication of conservation is like on, on to team things would be much worse for the test holes in the atlantic ocean around cape that day. the really heavy. it's always a more show. and also a moment we hold that in 15 percent to use the legal service really we've done to

me that so this was a, this is right. and the 20, the, the but i'm a says there is much more to be done to improve the condition of the oceans, the stripping of sand from so many beaches as well. so effected marine life just of the case. food sources for fish have dwindles. and there are a few opportunities to spoon the fishes, it's less and less and need to go as i saw the route. but i'm,

or as proud of the fact that fishing here is sustainable. it's all about people's individual needs growth as an industrial booked him trolling. and hoax nines that extend for can no matches. there's no bike chinese boats takes and it's catch of the day. a chain of this size is enough to feed several families. fishing like this doesn't comm, ocean, biodiversity, but that's not the case everywhere on the high seas. according to the u. n. food and agriculture organization. one side of old fish stokes, a rosa fished. technically sophisticated lodge fishing fleets, the scouring the oceans back. catch close to set by politicians often miss the target. a huge fleet of chinese industrial fishing vessels looks around the world round the clock at sea for months. they load

the couches directly onto congo ships, many billions of dollars in subsidies fuel this home full ton during the oceans. the chinese ships like this one. this specially designed to catch squids the animals are attracted by powerful lights at nights. these fates fly, divorce is 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 squid, the b. o. sorry caesar will but powerless. there are a few ways to monitor the most has and even if there are countries have no authority outside of their own territorial voices. queen peace was monitoring the

indian ocean some months in the summer of 2021. they with that to documents over fishing and the legal fishing with the type nets and on the phone. in the meantime, they've gone back to using just net. so they were banned 30 years ago by the u. n. clinton. but just a few months ago in the indian ocean, we were able to document kilometer long that's being deployed and focusing on these are known as well. guns, very thin, barely perceptible filaments, often made of night along visual asthma, garnish bonding behind for kilometers. i'm deep in the ocean hanging me to bite long one's teeth their left a long time and taken everything that drifts along in the water of us. and they don't only know their targets and pcs such as to know or sort fish out. fish this into the star turtles. cellphones with wells sharks, raised and many, many other animals that are not on their list at all and ultimately only go overboard as unwanted by catch it. and fishing was one of interest by fung. watkin,

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. yeah. or illegal fishing and the fishing and destructive fishing practices continue to stress and 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 organizations 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 hawks, 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 fishes. opening up the study has shown that college has almost disappeared and tearing this threat. the staple catches of the bolts that cause being of the fished for years. as a result, the e u 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 . with us on that 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 to mention this good port charlotte. this is place in canada. everybody knows it licensed. i just got a white sign on for them and its a knowingly slippery lovely. not as smooth as an heel. it is. this is this will be the 1st so you man and it goes healings. we also use a beeping device by the way to ward off porpoises. you can also hear it sounds like it's quite soft to now. yes. there's ones here and one at the

end of and they work off each other. i can still, yeah, this is gonna be one every 200 meters and they scare off the 4 percent so they don't swim into the net when the minus of committed themselves to fishing sustainably and taking only as much as they needs to. and then the thing now for the last they still struggle with you regulations. is this a didn't doesn't it was over them. yeah. it's to send, there's no flash on it. see, 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 having nothing. if there's a like this law applies to fishing with trawlers, it says we have to take everything we catch hold on getting rid of it. so it's counted towards the quota because they're supposedly dead anyway. and that's the basis for this law. yeah. if we don't get it, we're supposed to take it this, but we won't. 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 the leasing with

a trawler is acquainted with gomez. i like that. i like is it? that's complete idiocy in my eyes, funding uploads, and other one for the few fish we catch that are too small, like this one here. and we just don't take them yet. i don't think we refused to do so as long as it was divided on. so we're trying to avoid knitting smaller feet. how about using larger matches and much, much bytes are mesh size is 10 percent larger than required. so we bring in good quality, significantly largest the big island because our profession is really getting a criminal reputation. god is already coming, that can't be ranked of it can let me 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 sending close to the consumer became the mayas molto on the fish from cortez websites. it's not the buses. so unless we officially

say comfortable in life, some of them now i'm writing on the fish phone because we want to sell our fish right away. what do we have? we have macro and we have turbans, and we have placing the we won't make 10 o'clock anymore. so we've got to change that 1st just about $11.00 to $1.00. that just takes a few seconds and then it's up on the fish bottom quotes us side right away from my book because i know it's reloading fish for the quote. and there's a new address lloyd shown back to sleep, thoughts big necessary. but that's where we're about to go to cell mackerel turbo place until 1 pm. and then it goes the vegas eyes like, how's the us doing? the right thing is easy to come by. what you can get where you live. you know, 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 like we have one right now. there's one coming up behind us. they distribute all the junk from around the world,

but 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 off to the 2nd 12, or there was $3000.00 fishing businesses on the baltic coast, if she has the color. stine 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

mayas have been fishes to h generations. they don't know whether it will go on, but if it does, then like this, 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 the 13, you're really gonna tell you 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 go out of the could you just have to accept it. other stuff, even though we're not a supermarket, then we can only deliver when we catch some tests, flipping a suspicious, resting, and so to is the health of the oceans of the but as

a session is just one reason why the oceans are in crisis. unbridled over exploitation is threatening the seas. alexandra costume limits that in the end, we will just tom ourselves as well as our environment. the granddaughter of ocean exploration, costume knows the oceans, covers 71 percent of the planets produce halls 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 regenerated with seaweed forest 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 crystal 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 of these eagles that 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 doomsday, and then 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 is below 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 of 2, a 6 week expedition. exploring the deep sea. the voyage of the islands probably to slowly come to an end. the scientists did a lot of testing measuring, observing, and think. even if many final test results can only be revealed of 2

evaluation in labs back home, the research has already knew that the harvesting of the c bed was just about unstoppable is shown dot com. i believe it will come at some point. we want development. we want to prove we want a high standard of living. so don't know. and i think that should be the case for the entire world population for that we will need metal in some d, phelman m of i from that perspective, i thought the company's in what ways continue, continue to research and trying to tap into this tricia here. and then we also if asked, you refuse to do it 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 on the ventilation because because they're trying to print from the us and 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 to want to indulge and this continued long term damage that goes way beyond our generation . 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 since we're not young. complex, i stood talking about an area that's 30058000 kilometers. i'd try again to give you the size of your that says in time that we have destroyed nations. of course, we already need to keep that in mind. tom. i was gonna say i've, i've done my fault and the

just 77 percent good as in the lowest spread problem amongst young people and i forget what are the consequences and how do you break the to me almost 11 years, most of it. but i'm so glad i couldn't do that for my son to the 77 percent. instead the letters d w. yeah,

we're doing vision for the teenager bruce thing with tom. no. the 1st doctor with down syndrome to start rising star. 09. in 90 minutes on dw, the get ready for an exciting i've been trying to look surprised. hi, irish. and i'm ready to dive into the hands of human to you. have you have a one to talk to me before you go to the spot and the

unexpected side to side enjoy the this is dw, use life from the land security is tied in switzerland as wildly does meet for a summit on peace and ukraine. the conference saying so outlined the basis for future negotiations, but russia wasn't invited. and the 1st victory, your 2020 full goes to the host. and the other thing that germany put on a dazzling display to cruise past scotland the
