2:31 am
6, the women. we've a better way to how this oil says income be a flourishing in the drought. merck in pharma is simple to add most videos and sliding fish out. performing and africa's might say, like, victoria is providing jump add food security. let us begin vote in so often come tourists love 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
2:32 am
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 don't worry about us to poke through a gap between the boards and especially designed platform to separate a look strip of plastic that could have suffocated to see the nation accomplished from the sales perspective, these race thing is lying. they hear people talking these nic. you'll get upset the seal next day, many live 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 maybe 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. the poses a threat to the sales as a working hava. the is risk of plastics ending up in the ocean with owens in cape town. it just stories, everything in the ocean. so us,
2:33 am
we provide top team work 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 salted 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 the fishing rod in 2023. they freight a 124. seals from plastics. this, although it's how did see where the seal was over at greater risk. majority of all entanglements that we remove 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 switch out to far to see 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 uh bucks, fans fishing line nylon. quoting island braid, this is an example of one seal that had all 3 of these entangling items attached
2:34 am
that about 12 items removed from 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 of busy hunters, sometimes eating up to a 10th of their own body weight in one day the keystone species, meaning if you take them out, the whole ecos as them is on the verge of collapse to the top down and bottom down predators. meaning they feed on animals like fish and squid, keeping the populations in check, making sure they don't have a clue, as well as they are the prey for animals like sharks. and all goes meaning that they also help maintain the healthy shop population in oceans. but in a disturbing recent development therapy in a string of seal attacks on people,
2:35 am
sometimes even online, typically in response to being provoked. but while the animals losing the fear of us scientific analysis of blood samples from such sales reveal toxins, trace back to a former augi, the blooms of the south african coast. the talk since consults with the animals brain chemistry and make them more aggressive and 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 figure out solutions, but at the moment it's just a way and it's off of the disease. while the causes remain on clear under what the tourists need to be wary when the seals, they encounter no longer seemed just curious so playful. at cape tongue, diving the schools, offering ceiling counts of to as staff have already begun to adjust the safety
2:36 am
precautions. so if we get to an area with seals are behaving in a, in a strange way we, we, we've done for times in the winter and we not driving immediately adjacent to the seal hold us where we would previously encounter logic concentrations of sales. we, we, we, diving away from those areas. the capes, the seo population has recovered since the ninety's tanks to bond on commercial hunting in south africa. as for the current conflicts, leaving the seals in peace certainly wouldn't do any harm. ready careless human activity has been affecting underwater life in other ways. our 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 proven
2:37 am
don't 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. louise 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 short the early hours of the morning or the best time to collect the fish you no sweat a and to somebody found to do that, to fish funds over a decade ago. today it's specialized in cage fish, foaming,
2:38 am
and selective breeding. we've grown as our menu i had said i lived in high city in pena. so this, the 1200000 seemed that means by months when you said it would be 150000 thing, that means they do let fish tom squares, primarily nile tilapia, which isn't growing demand. crucially, it has a high tolerance to changes in water quality which you a government by environmental factors. informational most equality and other parameters such as fish stokes is provided by the canyon marine and fisheries research institute, 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 there. what uh,
2:39 am
what i mean does our, the change all the time and space. and also we look at the how that affects the fish and the people that depend on the lake for some label of the is the lakes. fish stokes have been badly depleted by over fishing and illegal operations. dropping by 25 percent in the last decades 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 business is focused on sustainable fish breeding. you need to have people who understand this fucking benefit is like home inefficient kind of a mess up in the area. how to feed them, what type of food they need to go. and also how do you, my name's this,
2:40 am
is this because we the crowding status of a plus friend on the see. he knows where it has a most is and aquaculture and recognized its potential early on the now shows his expertise in an at quick coach academy a training program at corporate and as in east africa. his company ends 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 i was that have 10 their lives directly because that was the number of our flush. how do we mean they get enough money for themselves and for their families? they can get into school. some also have seventy's as abuse in this besides. so that's working for us. as an agent for the company, louise macaulay is supplied with ice to keep the produce fresh. in the past,
2:41 am
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 to let's payment system. another company, another companies you've paid cash on deliver is 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, agriculture is helping ensure that lake victoria can still provide millions of east africans with the likelihood. what to itself is a precious result of cause which you meant 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 ongoing drought air as well as felicia and from
2:42 am
a roco that's helping to save or to boost the harvest a fine. so tom sees orchard is bearing fruit despite the drought in the north american town of magnus. this opinion onions are also growing beautifully on with just a little water for around 14 years. fines autonomy has been growing fruits and vegetables always using 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 still green and have fruit law, but the other dreams are damage. the spot had feedback on ad folsham nashua and this did i saw with the help of a computerized system falling as a tom. so you can now water each type of plan precisely according to its needs. a
2:43 am
sensor measures the soil moisture and sense the data directly to her mobile phone. next, it's called a little information of 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 crew not far from maintenance, that usually focuses on solar powered systems for agriculture. it's inventor, csa and 3 c showed us the brains of the operation side of how it gets up and so we can get that spirit data. thanks to this function because i think about us if i can tell us about temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure fuckers 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 since had the time started using the device this i've had
2:44 am
a life that i need less water and fewer resources, you know, it's very beneficial, you know, 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 sweat takes on the tables can see that the simple food, like trees see weed store coupling dias, items which uses the main dream. goss that's drive in climate change, the one the cabassos, the weed harvesting is booming off the coast offs. courtland, the solutions to the climate crisis, will take many forms. one of which is algy,
2:45 am
that's according to 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, see 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 like this. again is quite a subtle flavor. but you can use it just as even spigot 2. together with climate active is shown are cameron, the 2 are trying to bring c, we back into the kitchen. as a renewable alternative, a fish and me see read is the best of all of a c, n is available all your round. they're sharing these ideas with schools, pond with recipes for the children to learn. how do we just humans change the climate that see reads and bibles are a huge part of the culture?
2:46 am
here for centuries, millennial people living in these species. but we've kind of lost types with that low, but and higher. can we start reconnect people with that tradition. shona 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 in to wants to capitalize on the iowa sky, seaweed by growing its he's a trained fisherman, but for almost 2 years he's been farming, see it as a sidekicks. it's more sustainable, he says. but 1st, he must find out which type school best in these waters the to begin with who are using the for file stimulants. and, but we need stand up for testing 1st. see what kind of a nutrients and minerals it has. and then once we face discovered that we'll we'll
2:47 am
know what we want to do with the after law. and 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, 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 farms 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. a gap in the market that allison baker is intent on filling for startup eco cascade is supported by the scottish government. they've just invested in a new shredding plant to see where it is going to
2:48 am
go into a, a research project for animal phage. but it's oh, sorry, this particular variety of cope is a very good for, for bias. stimulants is a silent, proven allison baker and her colleagues alike are 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 like that, like any other vegetable and the other thing,
2:49 am
but it just goes into see that. yeah, there's a definite, maybe a shift and mentality that might need to happen. but hopefully it's more people trying to see tablets and things like that that will become more and on. the see is truly a treasure. and seaweed farming might just go some way towards saving. it's another very popular underwater crop with an important ecological function is always does on extra for bring those back to going to be out on the west and tape of africa. it's atlanta 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 way is to have this thing not only sustainable box safer as well,
2:50 am
where it says flourish in month before a tie type among the roots of covered by the water. the oysters attached themselves and through. nourished by marie denver and how similar always this one was what inspired by this natural to abuses when they set up the last of funds on the gun being coast there. constructions, use bumble sticks and oyster shells to imitate natural conditions. now you said the oil so says it says, well, i'm processed. ooh, from like bubble wrapped and tied them with the most inside the see the reverse side. see this has been a web i these and this most of or stuck on just attach 130. if asked if this, i'm going to be uh, oil around 8 months. in fact, if i'm outside the village, of course tom is near the bunks of
2:51 am
a titled visit. so it's relatively easy to keep an eye on the voice to the women used to go into the monger forest 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 moved, title swelled, can i make it 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 good that the little. you put it inside the bus get then you come on with your body. then sunday process. my read number is one of the thought to be many in the community of setup to funds. they always locked together and also she has a habit for the women cook the oysters, then they remove the meat. the cost of farming is part of
2:52 am
a 5 year food and agricultural organization project. that's an intrinsically price . it is designed 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 one of us being on the loss of mung roads. you're going to have a huge effect on the by of diversity. we didn't date the for us. it was an s 2 at a one of the impacts we have going to have is that in among of the continued answer, chris that didn't come on. so when we lose the mongols in his way, i wouldn't have moving out effects. reducing coupling dioxide levels in the actual c was no global warming. that's why a sustainable relationship with lungfuls is vital always to apple code to phones
2:53 am
having to get my thoughts on the incoming yet. but the hope is that what of mouse will boost interest in these high binding houses. the projects also include the regular training for the remaining will be setting up the fob or how to sell the oyster and they have access to a solar powered freezer to store their forties. released from a capacity building showed on dick on how the associate economic benefits of why did to the data being because that benefits really well. unfortunately, because the system is not that much organized. they don't know what day is going to investigate, use a 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 i do not. the west harvesting oyster is we pay attention to the main roads
2:54 am
going out from time to time. and we also go round to find out if people are cutting them or not. 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 wanted 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 charge 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 new production as well. and then we will be able to create a set of with the fees, and of course you have bundled and that'd be $1.00. so obviously not a quote, closure is an official for set sufficiency assume already done, but on the other women, they can already do more than just feed themselves. and that's how
2:55 am
to get a good, you know, order some business is very nice from a have your home going to i'm so mean you fiscal sees the, the, the order on board land for themselves, a way to people, homes, consumption. yeah. to it is a very good business because to project great examples of how environmental protection can succeed is to people effective. but it's also been if you like that story or if anything goes in the show, hold your imagination, then please write to us an equal at the to be to come, would love to hear what you think. now it is a good buy for me, son, drug of homes that we know do right to income pla, uganda, and from me, chris alone in lagos, nigeria, thanks for joining us. don't forget to head to equal offer online for moist. pirated stories. see you all again. next time
