5:30 am
stand out is particularly important, then disregard doors to biggest economies, china and the us the welcome to a co op recall. i'm chris, a lens and lagos, nigeria. nearly 3 quarters of the earth's surface is covered by water, our oceans, and what to weighs, a home to chain. so 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 6, the women. we've
5:31 am
a better way to how this oil says in going to be flourishing in the drought. merck in pharma is simple to and most videos and it's driving fish performing and africa's my c like victoria is providing jump, add food security. let us begin vote in so often come tourists love the q tools on tape tons 20 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 a delicate hand. she's not to injure target. one of the group of seals bosky in the
5:32 am
sun on the waterfront in cape town. so that project the toilet has to poke through a gap between the boards and especially design 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 mixed in many lie 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 waist that 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, we provide top team work really hard to scruple that out as they discovered it was
5:33 am
put next that full loss, 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 to see where the seals are 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 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 uh bucks, span fishing line nylon. quoting island braid. this is an example of one seal that had all 3 of these entangling items attached that about 12 items removed from them,
5:34 am
which is quite a phenomenal number. the capes 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 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 stem is on the verge of collapse to the top down, unbuttoned dog bridges. meaning they feed on animals like fish and squid, keeping the populations in check, making sure they don't. oh, 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 therapy in a string of seal attacks on people, sometimes even online,
5:35 am
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. trace back to a form of augi, the blooms of the south african coast. the talk since consults with 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 figure out solutions, but at the moment it's just a way in this off of the disease. while the causes remain on clear under what the tourists need to be wary when the seals they encounter and 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 precautions. so if we get to an area with seals are
5:36 am
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, 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, thanks to a bond on commercial hunting in south africa. as to 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. 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 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
5:37 am
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, and selective breeding. we've grown as that made. yeah. hi teddy. i lived in high
5:38 am
city in pena. so this, the 1200000 seemed that means by month 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 are governed by environmental site to 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, the organisms like leaving it and we want to talk the environment they want the bottom if those are the change over time and space and also we look at the how that
5:39 am
affects the fish. i'm 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 decades at quick coat to reduce the impact on the lakes. bio diversity and also improves food security and comparison cage foaming allows for better control of the production environment . the institute identify suitable species for aquaculture and also office training to businesses focused on sustainable fish breeding. you need to have people who understand this fucking dance. it is like home inefficient 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? is this because uh with the crowding status of
5:40 am
a plus friend on the see if he knows where it has a most is in at quick co chair and recognized its potential early on he know shows his expertise in an at quick coach academy a training program so at corporate is 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 we've, that we've tend their lives directly. because that was the number of our flush, i really mean they get enough for money for themselves and for their families. they can get into school. some also have seventy's as abusiveness 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, she goes around with motorcycle taxis,
5:41 am
but now she can use the company truck. she regularly delivers 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 you? 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 a 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
5:42 am
fine. so tom sees orchard is bearing fruit despite the drought in the north american town of magnus. so canyon 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 she book an ad folsham nashua. and this did i saw with the help of a computerized system falling, as the tansy can now water. each type of plan precisely according to its needs. a sensor measures the soil, moisture,
5:43 am
and sense the data directly to her mobile phone. that's what'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 set of hoc something. 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 been started using the device. since i've had lice that i need less water and fewer resources, it's very beneficial. you know,
5:44 am
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, item reduces 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, that's according to shift color monroe. he comes down to the coast every other
5:45 am
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 a quite a subtle flavor. but you can use it just as even spigot 2, together with climate active is shona 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 here for centuries, millennial people living in these species, but we've kind of lost ties with that low but and higher. can we start reconnect
5:46 am
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 higher 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 one 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 know what we want to do with the after law. and matheson and other
5:47 am
entrepreneurs 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, 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 plant to see where it is going to
5:48 am
go into a research project for animal phase. but it's oh, sorry, this particular variety of health is a very good for, for bias. stimulants is a silent, proven allison baker and her colleagues are 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 like that, like any other vegetable and the other thing, but it just goes into see that. yeah, there's a definite, maybe
5:49 am
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. another very popular under will to crop with an important ecological function is always those on extra for bring those back to going to be out on the west and tape of africa. it's up plenty 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 like, well, you still have visiting, not only sustainable box safer as well, or says flourish in month before a tie type. the longer the roots of covered by the what's the oysters attached
5:50 am
themselves, and through, nourished by marine dembo. and how fellow always define was what inspired by this natural to abuses when they set up the last of funds on the gun in coast there, constructions, use bumble sticks, and ortho 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. su, 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 a month. in fact, if i'm outside the village, of course tom is near the bunks of a titles live up. so it's relatively easy to keep an eye on the voice to
5:51 am
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 more titles swelled, can i make it very dangerous for the women? for marie then the, 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 you, 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. of course, the funding is flushed as a 5 year food and agricultural organization project that's ends in things that we
5:52 am
just tried. it is designed to get 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 the biomass. who do we didn't the, the for us. it was an s 2 at a one of the impacts we're going to have is that in among of the continued answer, chris that didn't come on. so when we lose the mongols in this way, i wouldn't have moving out effects reducing coupling dioxide levels in the i told you was no global warming. that's why a sustainable relationship with lungfuls is vital always to apple code to phones 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
5:53 am
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 freezer to store their forties. released from a capacity building showed that they can have the social economic benefits of why it did to the data being because that benefits doing 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 it 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 going out from time to time. and we also go round to find out if people are cutting
5:54 am
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 that we may not want 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 our destiny by ensuring that this 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 to get the the order. some business is very nice from
5:55 am
a you have your home going on. so i mean, this is the, the, the old on board line 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, sandra holmes, that we know do right to income pla, uganda, and from me, chris, the lens and 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 the
