8:17 pm
is in fact a sinister alliance of very different interests including development politics private industry and environmental protection groups all hoping to subject our oceans to a new world order. at the beginning of my journey along the front lines of this new development i wasn't aware of how diverse the lives of people on the coasts really are and how closely intertwined they are with the ocean i had no idea that decisions upon which these people have little to no influence had such long lasting effects here did you know that 120000000 people live from fishing and that half of those people are women. or that 2 thirds of the fish eaten around the world comes from coastal and small fishing operations. indeed it is in these living spaces that the latest variation of global green is looking for its next catch. more rules more restrictions more
8:18 pm
fish more profit. we're in a place called forgot the bond are a makeshift fishing village in western india. budo ismail is the 1st fisherman i meet on the trip. he has been fishing here for over 20 years it was a good life until 2012 when in a neighborhood directly next to his village the indian multinational company top built the mundra ultra mega power plant a 4000 megawatt facility fired by coal from indonesia and cooled by water from the arabian sea. total costs $4600000000.00. world bank share of that $420000000.00. kind of what i

built near chippenham a little bump on the view where there's a yacht team i see you have all my good old yasuko those we still need to move. this is given as it was but after a while or. intentionally with this it yet greek myth on the general. thought bit is good a little joke live may looted a few fish 1000000000 years of all of them were.
8:21 pm
the fisherman of true god he bandar are part of the people a muslim minority along the coach coast and though their history here goes back over 200 years they typically don't show up in any statistics or registries. officially they don't even exist at least not as people whose lives needed to be taken into consideration by tata when it built its power plant they are the unaccounted for the ordinary people who get in the way of great change or at least in the way of great greed. while buddha is mio watches the daily catch arrive a fishing village on the other side of the world is waking from its slumber. there are no cars and bought a democrat of otto just books. and. i
8:22 pm
get to know a man named carlos martinez and his wife maria mendez who like most people in the village live off of the shrimp and lobster catch. it's been this way for generations since their ancestors settled here they too are the unaccounted for the people who lost their lands to the plantation barons of the 19th century. as we get to know each other i learned to appreciate in both of them the certainty with which they trudge through a life that really has no certainty and certainly has very little money. for. the ocean is often fickle. the shrimp only come twice a year and sometimes not at all still carlos doesn't want to think about any other kind of work and around here there was no other work anyway. there are no streets
8:23 pm
leading to bought a dell colorado all there is is a river that flows into the caribbean just a few kilometers away from the village the fishermen call the transition to the sea the barrier indeed when the sea rears its temperamental head it can be an unbreachable obstacle for their boats. but when you love the ocean it will love you back as unpredictable as it may be a good percentage of the animal it was general for than any of the animal i mean the candidate love you know the other but i have a barrel but a boy with both no you know. not no no no not on a 0 sum up going little john. typically they fish with 2 to 3 bucks. nobody goes out alone. let. it out. there oh.
8:24 pm
shrimp are caught using dragnets that have steel weights so the fisherman can drag them across the ocean floor in industrial deep sea fishing this method is justifiably controversial but the small time shrimp fishing in the caribbean really have to be outlawed as a result. i want to go into into mental. big getting anything out of the pentagon come i don't. eat the money i come when i want to go out again if wanted to get his knife went additional valuable to everyone the best but i want that so i don't but it is not within the legend hamas. as one of the game. catapult he was already an adult and well. you know i wasn't well you know it's going to the judge will look well and i mean there is until this little balance and all this when i've got to get up out of the
8:25 pm
end. and does it i'll get out of there but i'm going down the road get on the muslim and. you know i did my duty and you know timing out and then. you get more people you think i'm at home but i'm going to the youth of being in when i'm going to have more to go to you might as you know i knew i was already. being part of a hour but i had to get in front of the head of some part of that when i. sat with them when they could have gone out because i knew where. people's united your bolt. when i say and check it for a year it's got some i don't quite grasp it as input going up arabia so you know that i would have that in those i had bought those and then see alec and i'm saying here because i'm behind this a lot those who were in see me and ek you had in those that. were better. i don't matter unless they pull your own for
8:26 pm
a lot of the internet through your day and it was the people going up as a model that's what the new unity maybe and there's a lot of space and i meant that but i mean nobody up on the scene they have a piece got a well set up and i think. they'd like me to hand the campus out there in the new. i'm back out all i want you know and i said ok it was like if at any moment of this and it keep it up basically saying that i mean it was one of the same time that he now by the always. the. case of chavez is the founder and president of a fishing cooperative that for 4 years now has been fighting a tenacious battle against far reaching decisions taken in the distant capital he doesn't do it for himself but for his neighbors and his village. beyond fishing there is limited opportunity for making a living and feeding a family and bought a dell colorado and the business profits are minimal and most people don't even fish for more than what they need themselves.
8:27 pm
the places distinguished by an unusual sense of social connection and warmth. most visitors would think bought a dell colorado just fell out of some imaginary world beyond time but the problems here are very real. politik and i never knew that. and i.
8:28 pm
think that. there are between $6.00 and $8.00 men per boat with a net that weighs one and a half tons and a beach to pull their catch on shore. that's how neil susanto and his team fish on the coast of western tree lanka and. to the detriment of the fishermen in this area more and more hotels have sprung up for tourists from all around the world. by the way that the particular one did i mean. they hold their blanket i'm going to . believe. it or. a bit of activity will be you know negative ads. appeal even. the residue of a negative now remember not be me. when i get we did have
8:29 pm
a negative. but out of the now out of my meeting going to my all night. i thought there might be a lot of the monkey monkey that i love to have a negative man landed in. hollywood who. may go to the mood or you know when i leave you. with a you know when i give you. a little bit of the day no one. well you look at. me. they are some of us are there in the garden and i want to. say. then bought a little girl over there let me walk in there man i am going to. look at it and i'm be careful. to do it. when i meet meal susanto for the 1st time he still doesn't have
8:30 pm
a license telling him which section of the beach he is allowed to use. he's fishing anyway though. after all he needs to provide for his family and pay his $12.00 employees. as a kid nails wife mary was 90 experienced firsthand how her parents were driven from the fisheries off the coast of nigam bow about 200 kilometers south of her new home . she knows what happens when the hotels start popping up. that immortal galloping up any not a month maybe to the benefit of the men and open up to $10001.00 4th and up lemme figure out what happened after that and have not happened that i know that that ended up happening is
8:31 pm
a lot of fun to. ghazi is a sleepy village on the southern coast of kenya. nearly everyone here lives off the ocean and they fish around the clock. compared to buddhist catches in india or the yields from carlos and bought a dell colorado the ocean is teeming with life here in kenya. but that is the way i do and it. only fishes during the day. while the night fishermen are still selling their catch on the beach he's getting his boat ready to go out.
8:32 pm
as a younger man could only think of one thing getting out of gaza. he traded his life in the village for temporary jobs in the city that is until he realized that he just couldn't live without the ocean. doesn't want you to come and you took us down. to do some of the openings in. the moonlit. nobody'd you can build a magazine up and down you don't know much you know and dope just does the. nobody visible on the wrist. but. it will be identical for a change in the middle of a funny. means something like we who are together with the
8:33 pm
mangroves it's also the name of an unusual project through a british non-governmental organization. cell c o 2 certificates on the international emissions market with the proceeds community projects are financed to provide things like drinking water health care and the reforestation of the mangroves. single. mustn't yeah but i mean if you suddenly see we're going to spend our time in me. and he's my hero. when you. see. you know not the percentage but you. need to fund a meeting that we do need to. focus on. environmental protection is a community effort and. is
8:34 pm
a successful project that relies on local knowledge and cooperation with the fisherman. in costa rica on the other hand carlos and his colleagues mostly view nature conservation as a form of prohibition imposed by a far away government. the shrimp dragnets of course turn up the ocean floor. but near the coast here there are no coral reefs or precious marine fun and they can be destroyed by the nets. the sea bed is entirely sandy in this area. so how much damage can trent fishing cause to justify the crusade being waged against it by environmentalists in the caribbean. according to the most recent studies not at all i don't know what i'm going to be at a definite when i get in that i'm young thing i mean that is the kid. who don't but i'm going to go through minding minding my own accord and yet all this you hear
8:35 pm
being but i you know i mean in the book and on learning that is not going as i you i mean i need the money that i've got to come over here enough. at the thought. that i'm going anyway he want to be and that they don't order that i will get. you out when i'm gone i want to get along little develop and i'm going to win a lot of the goal of any one of a lot of that. i'm saying at the end of the only knows it but again that i thought a lot of then go back. to fish for shrimp you 1st need to drag a net for about 20 minutes along the ocean floor. that is the easier part of the process. then comes the hard part. first the weights that hold the net on the ocean floor have to be hoisted up. over it and. then the net is pulled back
8:36 pm
into the boat. sometimes it's fuller than others carlos's calculation is simple. one hour of dragging the net cost 6 liters of petrol which cost him about $6.00 euros one kilo of unprocessed shrimp fetches 3 year 0 so everything under 3 kilos is a loss on a good day he catches about $200.00 kilos in half an hour on a bad day even after hours of hard work he comes up with a miserable yield that doesn't even cover his petrol costs or his personal needs. carlos and maria see ocean grabbing in this case an expansion of maritime conservation zones as a direct attack on their livelihood. and why until you know those foremost there it is. well it is city yeah. exclusion. he. says but. this community you'll pick up in
8:37 pm
a queue it must. be in my man who is actually on his boat the. discolored is there in the big money sitting in some. space gideon's with. every. bit of money said ing is the section of the position he's. living in rivera is a marine biologist and founder of the environmental group. for 4 years now she has been moderating discussions between the bought a dell colorado fish and cooperative and the government of costa rica.
8:38 pm
she's been making the journey to bought a dell colorado a lot in recent years. this time she's taking the long boat trip to prepare the fisherman of the cooperative for a national fisheries congress in the capital. many friendships have been formed over the years. i listening at the end i think is a simpson in this is that is taking. the city as it was then and foremost and it's taught us. if it isn't clear that this is going to be out in. been there and i'm excited as i'm not in the going to go yet or in the what i get out of the if you have a cut rate it will. be on its own or not and when the ads are they will mean for only see eat. up with for years i saw that episode ended up a caller asked this on.
8:39 pm
t.v. . i see you have to. get laid and suddenly. you know sunny might see my ticket out of the lot it. will be one of the they've been. known to not sunday long between. if any at all on the u.s.c. . i'm likin that the. every summer about $1000.00 muslim bogen families make the trek from their villages in the interior of the country to the sending fishy areas along the gulf of cook.
8:40 pm
altogether they are about 10000 people. the fishing season lasts about 8 months during which they live in improvised shelters without electricity or water there's been no drinking water since the only fresh water well was spoiled by salt water from the discharge tunnel of the power plant. they primarily fish for bombay duck an indian ocean fish that is sold in dried form. the women of the family do the drying and processing under the attentive eye of mary ahmed buddha ismail's wife. the 2 have been married for over 40 years now. and i did. some good. things here is that there you go to step. down a. little for me i will get them and we'll examine. their lives how do you build. a level of the t.v.
8:41 pm
you really don't feel. i need to limit. the embodiment of that i've never looked like that we've told our larry that the north. the poor have a lot to everybody don't give a living you know be able. i just ask you why don't you put my love you the bible if you in my living the bad those emails. that leave you never. never that's and the black community but. if i began among others you like to hear that at the end it does would. go you group yeah you see drew don't expose my nose corporation or a soup but i will go. i know it's really supports. who i have see who we. were. oh so they would argue the country got
8:42 pm
a. good leader. period. ceilidh though bob wanted to g.o.p. i get off the low but it will likely go a little pickle improvement new way the wall was at its user. list with a lot of courtney the all over supreme court pretty cute baby music about he did it i have sickly medium you used me it was made of day and if. i go in there and i'm like. here. in 2007 part health found it a purchase a collective with other small fish mongers in the region. their goal was to help relieve fishermen of their debt by demanding higher prices on the markets for their
8:43 pm
fish. his effort helped create an environment of trust and friendship. came up with the idea of suing the world bank for damage compensation buddha immediately got on board. and then i realised here is a muslim and a hindu working together in a way that seemed incredibly natural to take on one of the most powerful organizations in the world. so clearly. you saw the world they. do but i think you. do.
8:44 pm
raises the temperature in the outflow canal of the power plant. that warms the temperature of the water on the beach to over $35.00 degree celsius in a warm wind blows through the settlement it feels like a desert. every year the power plant burns $10.00 to $12000000.00 tons of coal. at full pelt that translates 263000 tons of c o 2 emissions per day. given these numbers a c o 2 project in a small remote village on the kenyan coast would seem pretty insignificant at 1st glance. but that doesn't concern the people of gaza. what's important for them is that money coming from their trade and c o 2 emissions is flowing from industrialized countries into local development projects gazi is an example of what is possible. more and more
8:45 pm
villages along kenya's coast are taking that example to plan their own community projects to be financed by the trade in c o 2 emissions. physically come under the same i don't mind the bumper sticker from a good one the same problem rather than nothing because the debt runs on you know but it's made up on the job for us and not for you not the 10100 s. opinion i'm going to turn up you know of the night at 9 pm c.w. bundlers on monday night your unique one when you said you some corporate lies will come under. the red beard to be run by you a new nephew i've got my book since a busy month we're number one those who told me when i made the money a month and then you know i'm not close enough to movies that you will see who know who i'm up and already be.
8:46 pm
that's something that we're going to shine through. for you to make cocoa come out as work is a communal effort today project manager. is out and about with some folks from the nearby village of mccomb generally. it's a hard slog to fight through the mangroves. 2 times a month the spring tide floods the entire forest leaving a deep viscous foul smelling quagmire in its wake if you fall down typically all you get is laughter because it happens to everyone at some point. i'll finally go in there name my highly new bass i'm like him i am a person like you and i don't lie i now listen my god oh god oh go on i was i would open up a chemical and i can be a political. body cool by vote how under my shining he. knew what body knew when i see i want to get me. and you know we're doing i
8:47 pm
might have tucked him out of the book i was a real name to a call you know on bottom well enough but i have a pianist i will be seeking seeking to cut regular financial market by the need to see what you like yes you can of yourself but another tornado you are not about going into the courtroom seated on my little cottage you may. well know you are c.c. . funny because you have a local lucky move the impact is global. player a change. in the unions him on experience level key to a much akin any final night on. c.n.n. to look for your cousin items that you. need if you know more than once and. sell certificates for $3000.00 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year. every
8:48 pm
tonne is worth $6.00. that translates to $18000.00 per year for the village over the next 20 years. yes. there's a look at the family off part of the years of the people who don't. usually use a 2nd bang model that it begin with because a lot of. it i mean when he says he'll use it like a guy. it better means you're nodding your head that you really think any. better i bet on a cat then you know that he's a yeah yeah dour liberia keep on getting that he's a. target i'm at the end of
8:49 pm
a guy as they call me honey is and you're getting better every so you get it but i am probably more like when i was younger bob would be willing. to see you again play a good cause in all all in all but i'll bet on the panel he thought about it all maybe the one that never really change you know out yes and when i think about you want me by maybe i get him off but he had a plan and we put them to key in the moves your napkin book told us on a constitutional norm coupling nothing's going to come out of looking less than a constitution and asking is this he can is he the most in need. because skin has been me that empty set. subsisting. but he would if that is against the b.c. honest extremists they can set of us feel mighty good when to let. this bill to sit in sick gourd biskit or at the senate. or the nominee that same one
8:50 pm
listening to this day had ideas but the he has seemed to space cowards is left with the consensus but does it muster perspective is only repossessed. what really hit me about the situation. that there are interest groups in nature conservation who demand that small villages give up their livelihoods for maritime conservation zones and in the process end up taking their homelands away from them . these people need to be taken care of by the government. but what sense do these landscapes make without the people who live their life. wouldn't it make more sense for all of us to live more sustainable lives especially in industrialised countries. what was it the carlos said. you never see those environmental activists out here in our communities.
8:51 pm
because you've got their. little. gotcha addressing is matter of navi now panchayati in western india. he owns a number of cotton fields and date plantations. his yields have dwindled since the top power plant began operation. the carbon dust settles relentlessly over his fields and trees and the groundwater is now salivated. he's led the village resistance against the power plant. it nearly. home you know the name and they can mend no one has a. no one guy you know you know when they roll do roll or if they will look up the eyes you've got to really bend of the eyes if you've got to cut them or we believe a woman she's gone. we are not the last men. you think you may sound simple do you
8:52 pm
have been doing. back up our technical development if you had the war money and all . of the financing we because me when you look mentioning. it was even. seen wall jive i mean wal. mart is some program here as if anyone want to believe it is for genuine there's a lot of this bullshit to me some of them. to wiki if you namely to it is this if i were to say do we. if you. do you can fish discovered a woman who replaced the queen do you know. a little bit. later it was in the deal that we did with. you. don't you

so. the solution would be. meals team consists of 12 men who he has to pay and provide for even if the seat is too rough to go out which it was for several days. fortunately the weather changed last night the ocean has made itself available once again to the needs of its residents who are now busy at work without worrying that the coast guard will interfere and maybe i'm only.

8:56 pm
me we do think if you see this in the. book that every. day. in the media of course and then look at the. body. and then i think. but i. keep that the order that we kiss. yes they are with us and most if. not up it looks like that because that would be mother happy about it i needed that
