honestly, the on the board is what makes things the way the way all the solutions mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the welcome to a co op recall, i'm chris, a lansing legal slide syria. nearly 3 quarters of the earth's surface is covered by water or oceans and what to weighs, a home to tens of thousands of species. today, we look at how we can protect these patients and benefits from all they have to offer. i am sandra holmes, that we know dio, right here in comp. lot uganda. here is what we have coming up sustainable and
9:31 pm
6, the women. we've a better way to how this oil says in going to be flourishing in the drought. merck in pharma is simple to add most videos and it's driving fish out performing and africa's might say, like victoria is providing jump and food security. let us begin vote in south africa. tourists loved the q tools on cape towns printing waterfront, but not many think about the importance of all these pieces play in under the water, or how human activity is affecting them. this is a story of a what can happen when we don't respect the wildlife around us and also what can be done to help this dive is not a tourist. she's on a rescue mission one that needs
9:32 pm
a delicate hand. she's not to injure target. one of the group of seals bosky in the sun on the waterfront in cape town, so that the dive that has to poke through a gap between the boards and especially designed platform to separate a leg strip of plastic that could have suffocated to see mission accomplished. from the fields perspective, these race thing is lying. they hear people talking, he's nic, you'll get upset the seal next day, many a lot down again that he doesn't even know there was a human involved. almost 2000000 kate 1st sales live off the coast of south africa and the may be these highly intelligent animals can even make themselves at home in places like cape town. but the voters here are a wash with plastic waste that poses a threat to the sales as a working hard, but the is risk of plastics ending up in the ocean with owens in cape town. it just stories, everything in the ocean. so us, we provide thought,
9:33 pm
seem like really hard to scruple that out as they discovered it was put nets that will allow the water that comes down the drains to be captured and then collected and sorted and removed from the ocean. but the team from the to oceans aquarium still have to constantly take individual action. in this case, improvising with a fishing rod in 2023. they freight a 124. seals from plastics. this, although it's out and see where the seal is over at greater risk, majority of on tank means that we are moved from off seals of fishing related. so these uh, we believe to be outside of our harbor. they also use interact with them when they come out to far agency. they get new stuff in them and they get stuck with them and they return to ha ha, this and tangled. a lot of these are bucks, spanned fishing line nyland quoting island brady. this is an example of one seal that had all 3 of these entangling items attached that about 12 items removed from
9:34 pm
them, which is quite a phenomenal number. the capes, the seals play a vital role in the eco system of the coast of southern africa. under a source of unending and fascination for marine biologist on underwater photographer donald vent. so we've been diving with them for 10 years now. the animals are busy hunters, sometimes eating up to attend for their own body weight in one day the keystone species. meaning if you take them out, the whole egan stem is on the verge of collapse. so the top down and bottom down predictors, meaning they feed on animals like fish and squid, keeping the populations in check, making sure they don't, over the boom, as well as they are the prey full animals, like sharks and o goes, meaning that they also helped maintain the healthy shop population in oceans. but in a disturbing recent development, there's been
9:35 pm
a string of seal attacks on people, sometimes even online, typically in response to being provokes foot while the animals losing the sphere of us. scientific analysis of blood samples from such sales reveal toxins traced back to a former augi, the blooms of the south african coast. the talk since consults with the animals of brain chemistry and make them more aggressive in a separate development. sales have been testing positive for ratings. they're working with a lot of stakeholders. and together we can, we can in time and figure out solutions, but at the moment it's just a way and it's off of the disease. while the causes remain unclear, under what the tourists need to be wary when the seals, they encounter no longer seemed just curious or playful. at cape ton diving the schools, offering ceiling counts of to as staff have already begun to adjust the safety
9:36 pm
precautions. if we get to an area with sales are behaving in a, in a strange way we, we re done for times in the winter and we're not diving immediately adjacent to the seal, hold us where we would previous encounter logic concentrations of sales we, we, we, diving away from those areas. the capes, the seal population has recovered since the ninety's, thanks to a bond on commercial hunting in south africa. as for the current conflicts, leaving the seals in peace certainly wouldn't do any harm. careless human activity has been affecting underwater life in other ways. next story takes us to kenya and the was the same as last victoria, which provides a livelihood for some 4000000 people. the problem is that the fishing has driven
9:37 pm
down fish talk. some people trying out a different way to farm in the lake that is most sustainable, then doing it on the land i need to bring in other benefits to today's catch has just arrived new ways. macaulay works as an agent with juliet fish farms on lake victoria, africa's largest fresh water like a a mother of 3. she's glad to work for a company that believes in empowering women. i believe you like the village that i have in july. it is the fact that we can sit tool and share a meal with my bosses and other companies you might allow to voice your opinions showed the early hours of the morning or the best time to collect the fish you no sweat a into so many found to do that, to fish farms over a decade ago. today it's specialized in cage fish,
9:38 pm
foaming and selective breeding. we've grown, i thought maybe i had said i lived in high city in pena, producing 1200000 single names for a month. when you said it would be $150000.00, singling say, juliet fish, tom square is primarily nile til up here, which is in growing demand. crucially, it has a high tolerance to changes in water quality, which are governed by environmental factors. informational, most of quality and other parameters such as fish stokes is provided by the canyon marine and fisheries with such institutes, which has an office on lake victoria. as we look at the environment on the organisms like leaving it and we want to talk the environment they want the bottom
9:39 pm
if those are the change over time and space. and also we look at the how that affects the fish and the people that depend on the lake for somebody. one of the is the lakes. fish stokes have been badly depleted by over fishing and illegal operations. dropping by 25 percent in the last decade at quick coat to reduce the impact on the lakes bio diversity and also improves food security and comparison cage foaming allows for best to control of the production environment. the institute identify suitable species for agriculture and also office training to businesses focused on sustainable fish breeding. you need to have people who understand this booking bands. it is like comment official kind of a mess up in the area. how to feed them, what type of food they need to grow. and also how do you manage this?
9:40 pm
is this because uh, with the crowding uh its that is a plus friend on the see is he knows where it has a most is in at quick coach. yeah. and recognized its potential early on the no show's his expertise in an at quick coach academy a training program. so at corporate as in east africa. his company aims to have at least 60 percent female employees, the set to can drive social change in local communities. he believes that we have our women, that we've, that we've 10 that lives directly because that was the number of our flush out of the mean. they get enough for money for themselves and for their families. they can still into school. some also have 70 is as abuse in this besides, so that's working for us as an agent for the company. the reason because a is supplied with ice to keep the produce fresh. in the past,
9:41 pm
she goes around with motorcycle taxis, but now she can use the company truck. she regularly deliveries to 15 to 20 female market vendors. they to a hunting. well, thanks to do this payment system. another company, another companies you buy, cash on, deliveries, way when that's why they come to do that because you get fish on credit. what will that? well known and then if i buy a sustainable business model, a sustainable industry, aquaculture is helping ensure that lake victoria can still provide millions of east africans with the likelihood what to itself is of precious result, of course, at which you've been cause climate change affecting whether parton's water is increasingly in short supply across north africa farm us having to get smotts to cope with the ongoing drought air as well as alicia and from
9:42 pm
a roco that's helping to save or to boost the harvest a fine. so tom sees orchard is appearing fruit despite the drought in the north american town of magnus. canyon onions are also growing beautifully on with just a little water. for around 14 years, fine sitarski has been growing. fruits and vegetables always seem to think, drip irrigation, but she's often had unreliable results in terms of her harvest. giftedness of faith when the additional watering we cannot precisely observe the plants condition. so for example, one tree may have produced fruit while the one right next to it has not up. and these are also have to read it half through law, but the other dreams are damaged as far as she can add folsham nashua. and this did i saw with the house of a computerized system findings the time. so you can now water each type of plan
9:43 pm
precisely according to its needs. a sensor measures the soil, moisture, and sense the data directly to her mobile phone. next, what's called a little information is color coded, so i can easily see the areas that need water and those that have had enough. okay, so the device helps me ration my water free back then. uh, what comes up at all the system was designed by a startup and stuff through not far from ignorance, that usually focuses on solar powered systems for agriculture. it's inventor, csa and 3 c showed us the brains of the operation set of hoc, something that we can get back to spirit data. thanks to this function because i think about us, i can tell us about temperature with humidity and atmospheric pressure. but because you, by adjusting your irrigation amounts accordingly following sitarski says, she has been able to reduce water consumption on the farm by around a 3rd. hadn't been so it had that kind of started using the device,
9:44 pm
especially pay lice that i need less than water. and fewer resources, it's very beneficial at all. it's financially beneficial to in a year of service, the system has already paid off the investments of roughly $1100.00 zeros in the forms of bountiful har. let's head now to nothing you wrote with some people say on the wall to find me in hopes a lot of from is of course we don't mean just annual crop ocean say we can be used for fertilizer oxygen until. so that takes, honestly, when can see that the super food, like trees see we'd store coupling dias. items we'd use is the main dream goss that's drive in climate change. the one the cabassos see weed. hospice thing is booming off the coast of cork, land of the solutions to the climate crisis will take many forms. one of which is algy. that's according to
9:45 pm
shift color monroe. he comes down to the coast every other day to collect seaweed here on the scottish aisle of sky. every week i do, it may be twice or 3 times a week. i should have become a. yeah. say this one here, which is i would say probably with the best of the see spaghetti. and you can tell it it's cold, seems to be guessing because it just looks exactly like this. again is a quite a subtle flavor. but you can use it just as even spigot 2 together with climate active as shown. cameron the 2 are trying to bring. see we'd back into the kitchen as a renewable alternative, a fish and me see read is the best of all of the sea and is available all your round there, sharing these ideas with schools and with recipes for the children to learn how to read. because humans changed the climate series and bibles are a huge part of the culture. here for centuries,
9:46 pm
millennial people are eating these species, but we've kind of lost ties with that low, but and higher. can we sort reconnect people with that tradition? shawna cameron and visions the coast as a garden somewhere with that we can cultivate and use in a responsible way on maybe her small scale community enterprises could start to use that as a way to support their local economy in math as into wants to capitalize on the aisle of sky seaweed. by growing it. he's a trained fisherman, but for almost 2 years he's been farming. see we as a sidekicks, it's more sustainable. he says. but 1st he must find out which type school best in these waters the. because again, with will be using the for foot file stimulants and, but we can stand off for testing 1st. see what kind of a new trends the materials it has. and then once we've it discovered that we'll
9:47 pm
we'll know what we want to do with the after lock in matheson and other entrepreneur is found at the farm on an area, spending 40 hector's really pretty good hoff this whole thing for media. i'm not, she produced a writings, 200 tons of a kelp in the 1st year, and then the following year we'll put in the other half of the grid. so we'll be up to 400 tons in recent years. more and more count farmers have settled around the island. some funds are already producing. the seaweed sky can grow to over 2 meters long, and that's completely fertilizer free. until now, processing has been the bottleneck gap in the market, but allison baker is intent on filling for startup eco cascade is supported by the scottish government. they've just invested in a new shredding plans to see where it is going to
9:48 pm
go into a research project for animal sage. but it's oh, sorry, this particular variety of health is a very good for, for bias. stimulants is a startling, proven allison baker and her colleagues of like our banking on the small industries potential to grow quickly. but so far, large scale commercial uptake has been slower than expected. we want to be able to process a lot of see ways that can go on to a commercial market because that will promote the growth of the industry. because farm is will be able to grow to order. they'll be able to increase the size of a firm, and probably most the way people just have to get used to it. we discovered such just color monroe to figure out like any other vegetable. and the other thing that
9:49 pm
it just draws into see that. yeah, there's a definite, maybe a shift in mentality that might need to happen, but hopefully it's more people trying to see salads and things like that. it will become more normal. the sea is truly a treasure. and seaweed farming might just go some way towards saving it another very popular, underwater crop with an important ecological function is always those on the extra pull it brings those back to going to be out on the west and tape of africa. it's a planted coastline, has an abundance of these prize shellfish oil as to how investing in gump yet is usually done by women. but it can be hard and dangerous. so it was great to meet a team of women. we're working hard to make oil is to have this thing, not only sustainable box safer as well,
9:50 pm
or says flourish in model for a tie type. the longer the roots of covered by the what to the or says attach themselves and through. nourished by marie dembo and how similar or is this one was what inspired but this natural to abuses when they set up the cost of funds on the gumby and coast there, constructions, use bumble sticks and ortho shelves to imitate natural conditions. now you said the oil says it says, well, i'm processed. ooh, from like bubble wrapped and tied them with the most inside the c. that'd be both sides. so this has been yeah. where i buy these and this was uh, was stuck on the attachment. it asked me to sign it on the uh, oil around a month. in fact, if i'm outside the village,
9:51 pm
of course tom is near the bunks of a titled visit. so it's relatively easy to keep an eye on the voice to the women used to go into the monger forests to have this was oysters, which they really do today was always to a how does to connect, they are smaller and the damages the trees in the process, what's more titles swelled, couldn't make it's very dangerous for the women, for marie them to the new farming technique only has advantages when it is time to have as well just for the dental, you put it inside the bus, gets it, and you come on. your way then, sunday process. marie deborah is one of the thoughts of women in the community of setups to funds. they always lock together and also share they have a fuss. the women cook the oysters, then they remove the meat. of course, the funding is part of
9:52 pm
a 5 year food and agricultural organization project that's ends in 6 weeks, right. it is designs to give people here sustainable sources of income until now. coastal inhabitants have often encroached on demand for fishing and looking fantastic. studies have shown the crucial ecological role that small group of forests play. one group i was the most uh, one of them would play spaces on the water. and obviously, you know, the loss of mung roads. you're going to have a huge effect on you by diversity. we didn't the, the for us, it was an s to add a one of the in the box we're going to have is that in among the continued answer, chris that didn't come on. so when we lose the money was initially i wouldn't have moving out effects, reducing carbon dioxide levels in the actual c was no global warming. that's why a sustainable relationship with monk rose is vital always to applicants of phones
9:53 pm
having to get pushed on the incomes. yet, but the hope is that what of mouth is boost interest in these high binding houses. the project also includes regular training for the women involved. be setting up the fob or how to sell the oyster. and they have access to a solar powered fees, a to store their forties, released from a capacity building showed that they can have the social economic benefits of why did to the data being because the benefits doing well unfortunately, because the system is not that much organized they don't know what day is going to investigate, use, and lucrative industrial. the women not only benefit from the project. they also give something back by planting mangrove seedlings. i think you would go to mother's plan treat as much. ok, but we are more focused on mangroves, but they do not have well it's harvesting oyster is we pay attention to the main
9:54 pm
groups going ask from time to time and we also go round to find out if people are cutting them or not. who i give you for moving you to the women of custom that have not another code division method in which the ortho is google in. net, but by using apple coaches instead of explosion demand growth, the women also on to protect the local environment. they are building their own life. they allow us to funds have another way to benefit we will have to tell you for destiny by ensuring that nice place to read, you know, in conditions that i should have went to us is going to help in improving uh the, the production as well. and then we'll be able to create a set of with the fees. and of course you have pulse and that'd be one. so obviously not a quote, closure is in the future for set sufficiency assume already done, but on the other women, they can already do more than just feed themselves. and that's
9:55 pm
good, you know, or some business is very nice from a, have your home going to have some discrepancies, meet the, the order on the board line for them. so the 2 people, homes, cons, i'm trying to, it is a very good business because to project ok, the example of how environmental protection can succeed is to people effective. but it's also beneficial or if you liked that story, or if anything else in the show, hold your imagination, then please write to us on equal at data b dot com. would love to hear what you think. now it is a good buy for me, sandra holmes, that we know do right to encompass uganda. and from me, chris, i live in lagos, nigeria, thanks for joining us. don't forget to head to equal offer online for moist pyar and stories. see you all again. next time
