and 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 and boast videos and sliding fish, performing and africa's might say, like victoria is providing jobs and food security. let us begin the in south africa, tourists loved the cute sues on cape towns printing waterfront, but not many think about the importance of all these creases. 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
10:32 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 project the dive has to poke through a gap between the boards and especially design platform to separate a look strip of plastic that could have suffocated the same condition accomplished from the sales perspective, these race thing is lying. they hear people talking his neck, you'll get upset, the seal mixed in many a lot. down again. he does give and there was a human involved almost 2000000 kate 1st sales live off the coast of south africa. and maybe these highly intelligent animals couldn't even make themselves at home in places like cape town. but the voters here are a wash with plastic waste of poses a threat to the sales as a working hava is risk of plastics ending up in the ocean with a wind in cape town. it just throws everything in the ocean. so us,
10:33 am
we prefer it's all teamwork 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 been 2023. they freight a 124. seals from plastics. this, although it's out of see where the seals are at greater risk, majority of all entanglements that we remove from off seals of fishing related. so these are, we believe to be outside of our harbor. they also use interact with them when they swim out to far to see they get new stuff in them and they get stuck with them and they pretend, ha ha, this and tangled. a lot of these are bucks, spanned fishing line nylon. quoting island braid. this is an example of one field that had all 3 of these entangling items attached that about 12 items removed from
10:34 am
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 fascination for marine biologist on underwater photographer donald vent. so we've been diving with them for 10 years now. the animals are busy hunting, sometimes eating up to attend for their own body weight in one day, the keystones bc, meaning you can take them out. the whole ecosystem is on the verge of collapse to the top down, unbuttoned down bridges. 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 all goes meaning that they also help maintain the healthy shop population in oceans. but in a disturbing recent development, there's been
10:35 am
a string of seal attacks on people, sometimes even online, typically in response to being provokes. but while the animals losing the fear of us, scientific analysis of blood samples from such sales that were built functions, trace back to a form of augi, the balloons of the south african coast. the talk since can also the animals 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 awareness of, of the disease. while the causes remain unclear, under what the tourists need to be wary when the seals they encounter and no longer seem just curious or playful. at cape tongue, diving the schools, offering seal encounter to as staff have already begun to adjust the safety
10:36 am
precautions. so if we get to an area where seals are behaving in a, in a strange way we, we re done for times in the winter and we not diving immediately adjacent to the seal whole us where we would previously encounter logic concentrations of sales. we, we, we, diving away from those areas. the cape c o population has recovered since the ninety's text him a 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
10:37 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 and it's bringing 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 into so many found to do that, to fish farms over a decade ago. today it's specialized in cage fish, foaming,
10:38 am
and selective breeding. we've grown. i thought maybe i had said i lived in high city in kenya. so this, the 1200000 seemed that means by months when you said it would be 150000 thing. i mean say you do let fish tom squares, primarily nile til up here, which isn't growing demand. crucially, it has a high tolerance to changes in water quality, which are governed 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. we look at the environment underway, organisms like leaving it and we want to talk the environment they want the bottom
10:39 am
if those are 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 somebody who as of the is the lakes. fish stokes has 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 offers training to businesses focused on sustainable faced breeding. you'll need to have people to understand this booking bands. it is like home in the future, kind of in the 2nd area, how to feed them, what type of food they need to grow. and also how do you,
10:40 am
my name's this is this because we the crowding it's that is a plus friend on this is nina square. it has a most, as in, at quick co chair and recognized its potential early on you know, she has his expertise in an at quick coach academy of training programs at corporate and 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 we have our women. that was that we've 10 that lives directly because that was the number of our flush out of women. they get enough money for themselves and for their families, they can send them to school. some also have a surplus of abuse in this besides. so that's working for unit as an agent for the company. the reason because
10:41 am
a is supplied with ice to keep the produced fresh or in the past, she goes around with motorcycle taxis, but now she can use the company's truck. she regularly delivers to 15 to 20 female market vendors, they to a hunting. well, thanks to do this payment system in the company and other 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. well to itself is of precious result, of course, at which you've been cause climate change affecting whether parton's walter 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 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. 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. quickness 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 damaged as far as feedback on ad folsham nashua. and this is vanessa. with the house of a computerized system, faiza tansy can now water each type of plan precisely according to its needs. a
10:43 am
sensor measures the soil moisture, and sense the data directly to her mobile phone. next it'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 pretty buckling. um, it comes out of 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. sadie hawkins helping us if we can get back the spirit data things to this function. because i find that as i can tell us about temperature with humidity and atmospheric pressure. welcome julie. by adjusting her, eric ation amounts accordingly following sitarski. since she has been able to reduce water consumption on the farm by around a 3rd, hadn't been since had that kind of started using that device,
10:44 am
especially pain lines that i need less water and fewer resources. you know, 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 underwater. find me in hopes a lot of from is of course, we don't mean just annual crop ocean say we can be useful fertilize a packaging until, so that takes, honestly, one can see that the simple food, like trees see weed store coupling dias. items we'd use is the main dream goss that's driving climate change? the one the cabassos, the weed harvesting is booming off the coast offs. courtland solutions to the climate crisis will take many forms. one of which is algy,
10:45 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, as i would say, probably with the best of the see spaghetti. and you can tell it it's cold. seems to be guessing is it just looks exactly like this. again is a quite a subtle flavor. but you can use it just as even spaghetti together with climate active is shona cameron, the 2 are trying to bring c we back into the kitchen as a renewable alternative official means, let me see. read is the best of pull up a see 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 change the climate that see reads and bibles are a huge part of culture. here for centuries,
10:46 am
millennial people living in these species, but we've kind of lost ties with that low, but and higher. can we start reconnect people with that production show, know cameron and visions the coast as a garden somewhere that we can cultivate and use in a responsible way and maybe higher small scale community enterprises could start to use that as a way to support their local economy be in math as in to wants to capitalize on the iowa sky. see we by growing it, he's a trained fisherman, but for almost 2 years he's been farming. see we had as a side gigs, it's more sustainable. he says. but 1st, he must find out which type school best in these waters the up to begin with will be using this for, but by of the me one. and, but we can stand off for testing 1st, see what kind of a nutrients and minerals a has. and then once we fade discovered that we'll,
10:47 am
we'll know what we want to do with the after the e and matheson and other entrepreneurs found at the farm on an area spanning 40 hector's will repeat again, hoff this hosting for media. i'm not, she produced a and $200.00 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. a 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
10:48 am
a new shredding plans to see where it is going to go into a research project for animal sage. but it's all sorry, this particular variety of health is very good for for bias. stimulants is a silent, proven allison baker and her colleagues of life 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. that'll be able to increase the size of a firm. i'm probably most the way people just have to get used to it. we discovered such just kind of monroe like that, like any other vegetable and the other thing,
10:49 am
but it just draws in to see that. yeah, there's a definite, maybe a shift and mentality that might need to happen. but hopefully with more people trying to see the salads and things like that, it will become more in, on the see is truly a treasure and see, read farming might just go some way toward saving it, the, to another very popular underwater crop with an important ecological function is always does on next report brings those back to going to be out on the western 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, bought safer as well. horses flourish and months before
10:50 am
a tie type. the amount of roots of covered by the water. the oysters attached themselves and through the nourished light. marie, them both and how selma always define 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 the ortho shells to imitate natural conditions. now was wondering, we did the oil so says it says, well, i'm yeah process ooh, from like bubble wrapped and tied them with the most inside the see that leave us side to renew the web. i these and this was a 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,
10:51 am
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 forest to have this was always to 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 most title as well as can i make this very dangerous, sort of human form or read 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 baskets, then you come on with you, go away. then sunday process. i read number is one of the thought to be many in the community have set up 2 funds. they always locked together and also she has a habit. for the women cook the oysters, then they remove the meat what's the funding is part of
10:52 am
a 5 year food and agricultural organization project that's end intrinsically right . 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. the small group of forests play one group. i was the most 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 the biomass today. 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 monk was initially, i wouldn't have moving out effects, reducing carbon dioxide levels in the actual c, it was no global warming. that's why a sustainable relationship with lungfuls is vital always to apricots of phones
10:53 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 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 properties to read this as me some a capacity building showed i didn't have the associate economic benefits of what i did to the in regards to that benefits going well, unfortunately, because the system is not that much organized, they don't know what day is industrious and lucrative industrial. the women not only benefit from the project. they also give something back by planting mangrove seedlings. i think you go to mothers, plan 3 and a half months, but okay. but we are more focused on mangroves, but they do not as well. it's harvesting oyster is we pay attention to the main
10:54 am
groups going out 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, to, to kind of the women of custom that have not another cultivation method in which the ortho is google in. net but, but using apple coaches instead of explosion demand growth. the women also on to protect the local environment. they are building their own lives. they allow us to funds have another way to benefits the zip code. we would have to tell you for destiny by ensuring that nice place to read, you know, in conditions that i should able to us is going to help in improving uh the, the production as well. and then we will be able to see a set of with the fees, and of course you have pulse, non, that'd be one. so obviously not a quote quote show 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
10:55 am
kind of good, you know, or some business is very nice from have you of all kinds of sony fiscal sees lately the old on board land for themselves. uh, beautiful 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 or if you liked that story or if anything goes in the show, hold your imagination, then please write to us on equal at the to be the com. would love to hear what you think. now it is a good buy for me, sandra holmes, that we know do right? yeah. income? paula? uganda. and from me, chris, i live in lagos, nigeria, thanks for joining us. don't forget to head to equal offer to online, for moist, pirated stories. so you all again,
