the, the knowledge is with the, brought to you by visit castle. hello. we've got some live, a storms rolling across the us at the moment, particularly easing across the good parts of the the mountain stays pushing across the northern plains is clot just storms. they will continue to drive away for the east. was heard of that. lots of hays around 37 celsius in dallas 10. same to

a 41 for sunday afternoon. really high temperatures. lot of wet weather very around the upper midwest. easing across the lakes. pretty wet weather too into new england, new york, looking to some live a shower has to unless showers and very much in evidence as we go through monday. the run down the appellation, some big down posts that ride into the deep south to see some large file coming through here. add some very, very wide web at damaging when suddenly a possibility show as to just around the, the rockies. at this stage for the south, while it's just all about that, hey, there's at 40 celsius the for dallas. so by hearts across the fondles west of mexico for the caribbean, i radiate is about this that old tropical storm. that is brett, that's making its way across the car, being north of the sea. honest, grassy pushing some very heavy right to nicaragua in hundreds with a crap. somebody system flooding, and felt a shower for cuba, of the quote to you by visit cuts on

the . ready and the, one of the biggest problems facing our oceans is the loss of which it's roughly 15 percent of the oceans total carbon source. they hold twice as much carbon dioxide as rain and they're also commercial marine have

a task for many and dangerous ocean cities. but here on elkhorn flu in central california, the tide could be turning for sea grass, thanks to some unexpected allies. how are you? the 5th, 900, hector estuary is where a river throughout this region meets the pacific ocean. this is the agricultural powerhouse of the united states and fertilizer and pesticide run off, threatening the balance of this delicate depos system. so having farms so close to the ocean line, what impact does i have on the water quality? well, anywhere where you get coastal environments close to urban centers, close to environments, close to agricultural centers, you get problems like this. lacker, ology and grows, attaches to rocks,

it eventually dots. it starts decomposing. over half of the world, see glass meadows are in decline. but here and elkhorn slew they're making a surprising come back. oh wow. i'm at one time there was thousands of sea otters in california, but in the 1800s they were hunted to near extinction for their soft for pelp. there are now more than a 100 in this estuary consuming a staggering 100000 crabs per year. this veracious appetite has helped restore the balance of this eco system by triggering a chain reaction known as a trophic cascade theaters. the crabs, lower crab numbers allows smaller invertebrates like c slugs to thrive. and these

creatures are crucial for the health of c grass. the eating alto build up on the leaves. they allow sunlight to reach the plans because the auditors are so crucial to the ecosystem. scientists are carefully monitoring their slow and steady come back. they capture them and tags them with radio devices . so that's a good spot over here. yeah, this will work really well. certainly. so what's the purpose of talking not as we go out. 7 days a week is to go out and find individuals, see where they are, what they're doing. the other part of it is just so we can understand the distribution of otters in this area. what are they eating, and how are they doing health wise? there's one right there, that's 3496. so that beeping is an otter that'd beeping is from the radio transmitter that's we surgically implanted in here. so that helps this locator. why

don't you take a look? yeah, you're in there. as the along the west coast of north america, researchers have noticed that the return of top level predators is having an impact on restoring all kinds of underwater life and the entire ocean system. the what the c honors do is kind of, it turns the tables against the mac or l g through these effects of sea otters. even crowds essentially give the seizure as an advantage again. so if we introduce top cutters likes the others to eat the systems around the world, will it have enough on that? potentially in the prediction is yes. so if you restore food labs, which means a lot of times bringing back a top predator to a system that we've wiped out,

they have a great potential for restoring the health of that system. the it was the city and people in the wild production is under increasing strength to keep nice with a growing population out to 0 is environmental solutions. programs discovers new ways of feeding the world to stay and focus on like 80000 murder just from this. like that's, i'm believable and see is the red symbol of the sea right there. food for thought on now to 0. the color we still have that a stream hate across a good positive charter because some extreme rain as well as the line of cloud

a that's going to continue pulsing is why that is the the my you front that goes slowly some really heavy right from the south west of tools, central china, across the east, tennessee eventually pushing across into the career and perhaps less out of that make the most of that drive by the, the, you have across japan time, but just getting up to up contest, 30 celsius and took it by the time we come to monday that went to weather rang rod across the korean peninsula and north korea sing some pig down pools. precious things. some of that with the weather. coming on into hong she will see some wet weather still lingering across southern most passed by the north with the heat. 35 celsius in phasing lease is not quite as hot as it has been, but still plenty caulsey enough. holding off across the south east asia, sunshine and showers continued to rumble away, particularly across the well, both of the quite to as they should do, possibly to say one or 2 showers to in to indonesia. but nothing too much to speak up here. but whether it's a positive india that we are looking, get some big down poles across the good part of the south west,

and they're receiving some big right. let's see right now pushing up into the northern plains, pushing a little further west, which as we go through the next couple of days on the 5th type tool in the whole for monday, the of the good. i really don't know how to define it. it's, it's, it's not possible for me to defend it. that's. it's just one of those things that you've seen. this is, yes. yes, i believe, and i'm so i'm not, but i'm an independent animation for the next. that's about the idea that your efforts don't go based. it's about, it's about believing and it's about that i can sort of make, i wouldn't, once my arguments are supported by vin manjens list is at a higher level definition, once my or the issuing some what it comes,

i guess this is what i wanted. i have tried to be very honest with them. the story isn't mine. yes i, i did a flip that off from my sister's childhood incident. she was the one who planted a document. ok. so i have put in elements of my childhood up, but i slipped within my in school and says that i've had the, the little incidents that used to take place in my own backyard. i've tried a little bit of everything, so i still stay on this to the one piece, but still in big the whole even from my point i'm trying to create the best language where this kid is a hike. it doesn't speak to kind of how i ended up not giving me whenever the need to be. i wanted him to express through the eyes. i just didn't want him to bookshelves and scream and cry just to show that he's disappointed because i want to do something which is very sad that he expresses. but it's badly

an expression. how long is the shy kid? although he doesn't speak to what's not done traditional gives you a lot of this idea because i feel you know, those with when it, when it comes down to flipping those pages and understanding how life and everything goes. what our cost, at least my 1st 5 line blinds the following 4 o'clock because i didn't know what to look like. i did do the northwest and now the, there was this 11 that i part of the, like i said, yes, i'm going to go to finish the i don't want to tell you the number of problems that i say. i so bad my head because i was not giving the motions i, when it came to making backgrounds, i like my mind was always working in one particular direction because i have been born and brought up. and those are the images that have come across all the time.

so now what i saw the, all, i didn't know my exposure, maybe school nicholas that i ended up doing the same, but i'm doing all of the mixing work. that's the digital. it gives you more freedom, then it kind of gives me the opportunity to do the like going forward background on, on a digital. and then who is these? not totally fixtures and all that and launch the money that i'm get the image sort of visually appealing. like if i have to visualize my kitchen, i don't realize exactly because those are to be on those that i haven't seen and know like i, i, when i see it, i see in the shots, you know, i could have taken a shot sort of an establishment towards that really, you know, follow on the move in on a nation. i just wonder to go to what i what,

what my mind makes me feel like they even easier to much that comes to my mind is one of the, from this one to because of this angle sooner does, it also tells you about the soul of this guy, and i just wanted to follow the sort i just want to make the glow stuff to this one doesn't have to talk to that. i don't mind it's, it's ok i'm, i'm fine with that the, [000:00:00;00]

the corporate office is one of 52 small island developing states recognized by the u. n . as being particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. with limited land and resources. they're heavily dependent on impulse, leaving them highly exposed to rising food and fuel prices. and also bid in barbados to meet the people kick starting a green economy to secure

a more sustainable future for the islands inhabitants. as one of the country's most at risk from rising sea levels in extreme weather. barbados is pledged to lead by example in tackling climate change, while also boosting its economy. with a dense population, an over half a 1000000 visitors per year, one challenge the tiny island faces pacific coating, the imports of a 3 quarters of what the nation eats, shipping in over $300000000.00 us dollars with the food every year. not only causes carbon emissions from transport, but contributes to a poor diet and lead chauffeur's at the mercy of international price spikes. so we'll come to meet damien hanks and he's a local environmental entrepreneur who's got a vision for how the islanders might start to feed themselves more sustainably. this is the man. is it damian? yeah. how are you doing? i'm fine man. thanks for huh. that's fine. yeah. nice to meet you. i mean there's nothing about the planet system. uh huh. yeah. you want to take

a closer look. yeah, absolutely. self toward using the internet and social media, damian's bill of backyard system that can provide householders with fresh vegetables and fish well components and its simplest form. yeah. is it take aquarium? you take a black box, you hold up blackboard oven like where you didn't want to do the aquarium. it will . how does it pop up? a lot of water is running back into the agree. okay, so when you feed the fish and these aquarium, they create more and as they use that water, the water, the plants, if not, see what the as for laser and why circle it into water. all the thing is to kind of help each other. so here we have the phone, it pumps the water up to each one of these that you can see in the light, hundreds. so as a continuous cycle, going on, this one lying is designed to feed a family of 4. damian's that coupon except health is based on designs. he found online, which he adapted for the caribbean,

using solar powered pumps and waste coconut husks instead of soil. it less the water true. okay. more readily than so, but you still get to setup a so food, web insulated media, which is the beneficial about the written. they're not due to the actual conversion . any fish risk into the, the pot food. eventually the husks break down into rich compost that can be used in the garden. this is the same stuff. yeah. so you actually producing soil as well. yeah. as face and available, therefore it yeah. so you're healing the or you're going to have to go collect efficient. damien is part of a new wave of environment to the country screwed produces on the island, the social media to share their ideas and knowledge and resources. yeah, i can just say 100 fish pump facebook. we're all connected and someone was a got it at your campus on fish, damian's neighborhood, jo calendars, one member of this merging networks. and he started reading to lafayette behind

this house. the whole, the whole that say okay, and they come from the do a piercing movement look at these man a little baby till they see another couple of months. these going to be a good silly, i'm coming back to. i mean, it's early days as a couple of points with some, you know, some fairly small fishing it, it requires a bit of imagination. you think this could be a very real option in the future. definitely, what we want to do is to get that analogy to the point where everyone on the item would separate and it becomes mainstream. and everybody's going to be like, appear in this area that we could really get it up to these. the stein to be really want it to be, you know, collaboration and talking. cool. well i know water this. yeah. every day which is water every gets all the fruit trees on the property. so no wrist is 100 percent proof with little land for industrial agriculture, damien and joe,

believe the backyard food production is the best way for barbados to eat more sustainably. and to cut the rising cost of importing food. fuel is up to there are 4, was the same thing. so was better than to try to feed yourself before. yeah. just to reward and they're good. they are. so this is where you come for this evening. yeah . this know, 3 run by the phillips family is another link contain means network city tomatoes this. so this is a list. his cv and their operation is almost entirely of grid can help noticing listed under for impressive turbine. these guys, us, the are on the forefront when it comes to self sufficiency and run in that kind of way, by spreading the seeds of a grow your own movement. the family hopes to help islanders become more secure. because there you go to the market. the prices of a budget that was very expensive, so that is squash we value

a more consumers. ok. so we're going to go back and um get them installed in your system. so you can, you see a few to with these to literally there's one in every, one of the gardens, in barbados, of course it can see a few for me, but this is going to save some work. yes. as long as you want to have this friendly either. yeah, you can do it all and you know, you can make sure and get the young ones involved. name and daughter. yeah, i look forward to seeing the program this on your facebook page is going to be on facebook since 2010 damian's health atl the island is get started with the components. and every day he answers questions online from people across the caribbean. interested in the technology, they hold this as a template for other people to take it and make it theirs. but the internet is not the only platform damian's using to share your ideas. best village, apple products association, 9 months to foot, secure, open to get these in the libraries of the schools and was not so you could get the

youngsters, read them a foot secure nation is a strong nation and hope to play a part and implementing a smooth transition to such a fruit system by detailing the processes proposal of course you know, tell, is it written a book the as the last thing on your mind. this is great. household food production could help feed residents, but the island also needs to k 2 for up to 60000 hungry tourist who died here every day. and we'd come across town to meet christina adams. nice. he's another entrepreneur here on the island. and she's hoping to pick fish farming to a commercial level. kristina studied a quick coach in canada before returning to sell the islands 1st commercial fish fun to come to a car being the 1st thing that they want to order is fish. and they're just, i want to say, don't know that the maturity of it is coming from the caribbean. it's, it's actually been imported for me to actually make a difference in terms of the food import bill. i don't need to, but it's a 100 fish. i need to be just saying thousands of fish. so what's the capacity for?

what is the maximum capacity for that would be about $4000.00 fish. $4000.00 p a bill for modified swimming pools. christine, as fund supplies up to 450 kilograms to, to lafayette, the islands restaurants every month, and seems to double her production every 6 months, while using minimal resources. thinking about this story here in barbados in relative terms with the small island developing states still facing the same challenges to limited space, limited space as, as you fit in to that. um, well this, this is a perfect model for that because like i'm trying to promote farming where instead of the old traditional farming, which would have been huge pawns, huge land, huge water usage. and we're doing a compact farm, small land, very efficient water usage. casino also plans to improve efficiency by installing solar panels and harvesting rain. was it she didn't set out to be an environmental? i liked the idea of being a farmer,

and i think what really convinced me was the business time that i did want to actually added up the numbers. i. so not only could i be a farmer, i could actually make money as much money as if i was a doctor, a lawyer. there was a lot of money in farming. so that kind of change my mind. it really doesn't matter where your motivation is, like, i don't know if you agree, what we're talking about is an environment. so when yeah, exactly, for example to everybody. yeah. um, cuz it will actually drive the economy as well as of the environmentally friendly i think honestly, i mean, when it comes down to it, most people want to make money. that's the best, the hard cold, true. you know, and if you can show my way to make money, well, being environmentally friendly, they're going to do it as well. so it's just a added plus. sooner or later, everyone's going to use organic food production. yeah, the best analogy to do that is because you get the risk to grow up. so you want, i mean, we got refrigerators there just to store to for, for long term use it well,

ok upon it system it produces food. so it means things to have one arrows as well. yeah. so we have to find ways to diversify, keeping ourselves a life and keeping our neighbors to you know, the good for us who from our one by ours, and as a be a force. the of the tourism contributes are and $1700000000.00 us dollars per year to barbados is income around a 3rd of the countries entire g d p. so for the island to make it serious transition to a greener economy. the biggest business in town needs to get on board with all, how are you man? hey, i'm sorry. you guys swimming with 2 tools. he's one of the most popular tourist activities here. marine biologist aaron brand wants to keep it that way. my main goal is to gather scientific data, bolts,

um whole development on the beaches and that see this is affecting them and whole tourism and are essentially our activities as human beings are affecting them. light pollution and lots of beaches from sea front development. disrupting the breeding habits of the 1000 hoax. b o. c, to us on the nest on the island. the hooks to these are the critic fee and ages. yes. these are the ones that i mean these, these are overseas fakes toward the show. but there's somebody with a model that that's exactly what s q from huntsville to show looks like. despite a total ban on to, to, to hunting. in barbados, the creatures still preyed on, not just for the shelves. we have a problem with both the internal turtle meat tables still going to meet, as well as going on nightly, empty poaching patrols to barbados. see to, to project helps hotels reduce the impact on to,

to nesting grants. but today they're investigating a grueling problem. so direct result too, is we're going to be comparing circles at sites where they're being fed to those sites where they're not being says, is this what we're dealing with? yeah, yeah. so she's actually pass through the session mazda deal. it says, which method here. i know so you can buy a bag of food and come onto the peer and talk to the, the bit bits of fish and to they want to. and then of course that will attract between terminal so you can see them take photos and so on. i see, i see. so this, that's a specific thing. they say buys turtle food for the turtles. don't actually he is a no, no, no, no, not actually. these green turtle should be grazing on sea grass, hoping maintain a vital habitat for other species. so the new diet could cause problems for the way the ecosystem as well as for the turtles, what's going to happen is we're going to start getting in the water and we'll work together to grab some of the service, bring them up the ramp and onto the onto the boat. the only way for the team to

gather the information they need is to actually catch the turtles for this, the pro alone unlikely highlight. so this says it's almost that that way. you've got quite a reputation and here that's all i have always been working together with the conservation good for. i used to fish that there used to fish the as of yet. but now i know a different stunt and used to be one of the for beta says most notorious and successful to hunters kind of protected the of catching decreases. oh my god, that's enough. see monster huge. it's like having a 5 year old with the teenagers bodies. it's not, not really adaptive very well. it's a carrying that much we, we do a good speeding and this thing from hot dogs to fried chicken. like many youngsters that ditching their greens in favor of fast food. you can see on the back or on the next usually is pretty much it. this area is pretty much concave. how?

here's the, you know, why this big piece of it. so you'd be lifting a lot of times, they'd be rumors for years. that'd be sort of overweight. but you know, we, we didn't have any or digital package. so this data sets you'll be able to look on a computer and, and then figure out when, when the tag we're, he or she was in the intervening center for the piling on the pounds is causing these, inc. and rep tov serious problems. they're already showing early signs of heart disease, diabetes, and goats, and that's on top of suffering other not going to affect like losing their few boats. so this might be something like a jet skiing. so how often do you see these kind of injuries and every time we come over here to expose using the same scraps to attract the turtles as they do for fishing, more to it, it was a taking hooks, which has proved fatal in the past. we need to have anti fat that i'm probably cut

off the bars for the natural beauty for green service. as soon as we take off right, then hopefully we'll be at one or 2 sites where you actually see them the terms, it definitely will be c is coming and they just these 2, it was haven't been fed by tourists. so if they to fastest as much harder to catch so you can see the difference with these ones actually compress the skin underneath here. the noise is pretty crazy when it, when you 1st started good. they were coming in did the yeah. so what's gonna happen

tool that day to the connected, the we're, we're going to retire it out of course, and we're going to share that with the government. and so the idea is that, that data, we will have an argument for managed better management. all the stores and activities, right swimming softly materials. but to properly protect these creatures down and the team will need to influence government policy, adjusted barbados across the region. as elsewhere, endangered territories can still be killed. you could find yourself in a situation where you're working hard to conserve the spaces here. collect the data and you're tagging them. and if they swim, a few miles to a neighboring island, they could be at risk from being hunted in, in the caribbean. we share our terminals, so a terminal that next summer, i mean is me feed off because the solution, any solution is a 6 month open season thanks to conservation efforts. barbados has one of the
