2:16 pm
like that above your 2 long. enough. deal with i love my d.n.a. pin as i was coming up. on. my show you know as we've been talking point then you know as in mine i. think. the 1st time i came across the term ocean grabbing i sort of imagined this giant hand that was terror.
2:17 pm
in the skin off the ocean it turns out the behind the term 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 eating around the world comes from coastal and small fishing operations. indeed it is in these living spaces that the latest variation of global greed is looking for its next catch. more rules more restrictions more
2:18 pm
fish more profit. we are in a place called forgot the bond are a makeshift fishing village in western india. huda 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. on
2:19 pm
a thorough cleaning i need much less a way that. much then don't know much you know it's kind of. silly or my luck with it i think clearly a lot of a lot of intl. going there to find it live there and here i value adding these at the event and then i think about a lot of talent. at times i get that you're planning like that. and i'll call pointed in the one to one of my 2 market clearly taken with a commitment of money take that. money educate us and the world does have good if you don't. go suck some sort of. mold see mussina g.i. . joe which.
2:20 pm
will. have a little bump on the viewer there's a yacht in my sleeve you have my good ole yasuko does we still need to move jelly yeah or mogambo a little bit is given as the world but after a while. in general view of this is. the only gentlemanly. full enough beer is good a little cool it may lead to a few fish 1000000000 years of all of them were.
2:21 pm
the fishermen after gotti bandar part of the people a muslim minority among the kurds coast and know 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 about oh just books. i
2:22 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 when. 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
2:23 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 again for the little the animal it was general for than any of those it was the animal i mean the candidate of the other but i have a barrel bottom or yellow to go oh no no. not not not an old up but on a 0 sum up going a little gallop. typically they fish with 2 to 3 boats. nobody goes out alone. let out that. let it all out. there.
2:24 pm
shrimp are caught using dragnets that have steel weights so the fishermen can drag them across the ocean floor in industrial deep sea fishing this method is justifiably controversial but does small time shrimp fishing in the caribbean really have to be outlawed as a result. i do not really mind 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 and if when to the it has a life when did it all or your brand new one the best one was the sort of it i want to come up with in the lounge and i must think i'm going to look i'm at home is going up again. do i. care about the old boy you know i don't know where i'm working. for you i wasn't well in the of but oh it's going to the judge will look well on the letters and all the little fella and all the traffic at it but if. it
2:25 pm
does it i'll get out of there but i'm become the most common the muslim and the i'm even more like a moron you landed in my hands you know coming out and then. you get one you click on my own but i'm going to tell you something and when i'm going to get more out of court i'll go to you you might as you assault reveal my disease i knew he. would have what i had to get him from the head of people the head of somebody they were not going to get. that but they could have shown up on it. and you'll meet the. people's united bolt. when i send them tickets for a beer. come i don't quite grasp it and going up arabia so you know that i will have it and don't say bottles and then see alec and that hussein's here just on the hand there's a young doctor who and see me and. i don't matter unless they pull you up and put a lot of money and you know through your day in the caribbean the people get up as
2:26 pm
a model that's what endeared me and there's a lot of space and i meant that but i mean nobody up on the p.c. they have their place got a well set up and i had. better i mean the campus there in the new. i'm back out all i want in this i set up that was like a pig in a moment of this and heat it up based. on that i mean to put it on this simply out of the now always. pesos 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.
2:27 pm
for. 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. and. valid and i think that that. kind of. an act
2:28 pm
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 i'm sure. that's how neil susanto and his team fish on the coast of western sri 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. to make i've been putting a little one to the minute. they hold they are going to. be in. is if i have to make. a particularly one up really not a negative ads. appeal even if it was. to devise a preview of an angry naveen will not be me it will only sell a middle ground that they will argue we did have
2:29 pm
a negative. company out of the meeting going to my own 90. m. of you got the money the money the money and then let me have a negative then later when. i. may go to the mood i know when i look you up. with a you know what. you wanna. look at. me. i want us out of there you're in the part i don't know what to. say. i don't bottle or to go over there let me buy them i am not here but it is going to them be careful. we do it. when i meet meal susanto for the 1st time he still doesn't have
2:30 pm
a license telling him which section of the beach he is allowed to use. his fishing anyway though. after all he needs to provide for his family and pay his $12.00 employees. as a kid meals wife mary was santy experienced 1st hand 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. 7 or 10 galloping up and he nodded maybe to have ended up coming in and out of that not only and what that on and up lemme think that would happen advocate and of us not that bad but not that ended up happening is a lot of other. gazi
2:31 pm
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. that it has. 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.
2:32 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 on he took us down. to the most of the opening for you. as well i mean. the mostly. nobody you can build in the mud you see nothing done and don't know much you know and dope as does the. nobody does anything in the least. if. the local. in the middle of a funny. means something like we who are together with the
2:33 pm
mangroves it's also the name of an unusual project through a british non-governmental organization. sell 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. see. if you like here. when you. see so much. but you. need to fund a meeting that we do need to. focus on. environmental protection is a community effort and. is
2:34 pm
a successful project that relies on local knowledge and cooperation with the fishermen. 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 fauna that can be destroyed by the nets. the seabed is entirely sandy in this area. so how much damage can trip 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. on the internet who they are going to be one of the other places in my mind minding my own accord and yet all those years you hear me saying but i you prove it though and i'm
2:35 pm
going to go bent on learning that as and when we as i you i mean that in the money that is not a good movie and. if i will get. that anything then i don't believe you are going to be ending that all of that i will get no need of you i don't i don't want to get along the end will tell then i'm going to win a lot of the little gaining a lot of it will get you i'm saying it but you know the only knows it but i gave what it could i thought about it 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. and. then the net is pulled back into the boat.
2:36 pm
sometimes it's fuller than others. carlos's calculation is simple. one hour of driving the net cost 6 liters of petrol which cost him about $6.00 euros one kilo of unprocessed shrimp fetches 3 euro 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 in the last 4 months they really. wanted to city yeah. exclusion in this business. he. is a. skinny you'll put it in a q.
2:37 pm
and a must. in my name who is actually on his boat the. list is there in the big money sit in. basically deals with. the ever. with a bit of money said in his that section of the decisions. live in rivera is a marine biologist and founder of the environmental group. for 4 years now she's been moderating discussions between the bought a dell colorado fish and cooperative and the government to costa rica.
2:38 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. and listening at the end i think is a simpson in this is that it is good at picking it up or get the thing in the store just as good as it was then and foremost and i thought it was great to see if it isn't clear that this is going to be able to think and. and i mean is that not are you going to go yet a long fork in the what i get out of the if you have a car if they have it when i say i mean one the daughter because not one day as when they will remember only see eat. you up with for in this hour as well but have already made up a call to ask this i. believe
2:39 pm
. i see you have left but it badly about. there late in the submarine kind of you know son in law to my ticket a lot of a lot of us i just you know. they want to move in with people not in their own to know sunday long between. me out. on the u.f.c. . i'm likin that they view. every summer about $1000.00 muslim bogen families make the trek from their villages in the interior of the country to the sending fishing areas along the gulf of kush
2:40 pm
. all together 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 from bombay duck and indian ocean fish that is sold in dried form. the women of the family do the drying and process and under the attentive eye of mary ahmed buddha ismail's wife. the 2 have been married for over 40 years now but. i did have. some good. things being said there you go to step. down a. little for me i'm going to mali you and i've got. a life that i don't that you don't have. a lot of might be available if.
2:41 pm
i need to limit that. am i an event or that was that i thought that looked like that we told our larry that the one of. the boys had a lot to everybody had given them and you know very well. i just ask you why don't people i love you the bible if you want my living the thought of i had those emails . if you never let me live with that and if i didn't if you were saying if i began the man who died years ago did he get that accolade it does would. go your group where you have seen international finance corporation or a super rich. i know she'll use of course company who i have see who we. report. those in the light duty country are going to
2:42 pm
be good near. here who. ceilidh the robot wanted to get on the low bottom will likely go a little pickle improvement new way the wall was at its user. local clinic i'll be all over supreme court going to give me the music about. i have sickly we need new years lee it was gelatin it was there and it was. and i've been there. i'm. down. here. in 2007 part health found it a purchase a collective with other small fishmongers in the region. their goal was to help relieve fishermen of their debt by demanding higher prices on the markets for their fish. and his effort helped create an environment of trust and friendship.
2:43 pm
came up with the idea of suing the world bank for damage compensation buddha immediately got on board. and then i realized 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. or. use a little way bigger than the world again. to but i think you are really lucky. to.
2:44 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
2:45 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 coming to the same i've done the ones obama become a good 175 but other than a dozen dead ones i mean you know but it's middle bump on the job for us it's not for you know the 10100 s. again in terms of you know but it's night and names you don't know you've done by someone now you're 21 years i am some cronies will come on the. number i do have to run my new a new number i've got my book since it was the most well known for one thing and that's who told me to and maybe money a month and then you know enough was enough to movies that you would see who know who i'm a nobody before. i
2:46 pm
don't think that we're going to be. able to make kokomo just work is a communal effort today project manager twanna is out in about with some folks from the nearby village of mock on janey. 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 and its wake if you fall down typically all you get is laughter because it happens to everyone at some point we'll. all finally go in mohali new bass i'm like in a mile and a person like you and i turned on my i now listen my god oh god oh go on of course i will when i want to come natural and i can be a political. body cool by vote how under my shamming you. view the body when i see a homeowner. and you know was woken knowing i might have tucked him out of
2:47 pm
the book i was a well known him to bottom well enough what i have appeared to be seeking and seeking to god like a little metal bucket by the need to see what works and accused him of yourself while another tornado not about going into another courtroom seated a man going to tell you more than the world. will know you r.c.c. . enough and it goes up on local. luck in the impact is on the board or some of. the change. in the unions him on expedience level key to a much akin any final night on. c.n.n. to look for guys names that step up. if you know more than once and. sell certificates for $3000.00 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year. every
2:48 pm
tonne is worth $6.00. that translates to $18000.00 per year for the village over the next 20 years. yes i look at that one off lot of. years all the people were dumped. by what i thought oh my god. second bank modern day again my friend. you know i mean when he says he'll use it where. it better means you're nodding your head that you really think any. better i bet on i can't then you really say yes. our like period keep on getting that easy. work and i'm at the end of
2:49 pm
a guy as i call my thirty's and you're getting paid every suit and if what i am on that i'll be on the ball will be really doesn't see any idea why i made a good bargain or all in all i'll bet on the penalty been a busy one but nearly 100 yes and when i think about you want to pay by midday i got him off but he had a plan and we put them to key in your napkin booklets on the constitution and new coupling bill nothing to come out of you can lessen a constitutional assay in this he can is he most in need. because skin has been made that empty sentences biscuit subsisting. but he wouldn't that is against the b.c. honest extremists they considered us feel maybe. this bill was it in sic toward biskit or at the center. of the nominee the same thing
2:50 pm
when listening to this they had ideas but the he seemed. elected would take a good sense but it does it mr perspective is only we persist. 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 that carlos said. i mean you never see those environmental activists out here in our communities. i think there. was. a little.
2:51 pm
gotcha in draw same judge is mare 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. in 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. near lim home you know everything he lived in man no one has a. no one guy you know the you know when they were old the role of the i was you got big deal dependency. you got to come over a great deal of money. if not they will open. many subsequent tell you how. many.
2:52 pm
of them. would be cost me. and my boys even. seem to mean holding. a modest sum. is for the. tell me some of them. if you namely to read this. is. silly to. discovery to replace. the live. we did it was in the clear that we did with. those who did
2:53 pm
discover though is so. in big data and the solution would be. neil's team consists of 12 men who he has to pay and provide for even if the sea 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 then they will only give us a leg up i love that i'm a going to have. i have over that i'm left. everything all i mean because i'm a get broken leg in the middle of
2:54 pm
a bank on the fact that i might take a little. bit of all of that i didn't go and buy the little does he have it would only have been with a hand i've long wanted it and that was. the end of an amount of comedy on that one . i mean we're going to love you my grandma or my tomorrow my mama i'm going to save the money due to get. damaged and i dearly and again i never did get the holy i did or do you know any good here do but coming and going to mark b. but the damage it did but comey a moment i remembered. it is i'm going to buy that and you get in a pool under there in a bag it's one of my. going to go to. the degree that it out on the time of the m.r.e. in my community no ana. but really d.n.a.
2:55 pm
that they do but they are beginning to dissolve with the d.n.a. there they do but the. d.n.a. there. it will not. at the end of this journey i find myself once again in gazi on the kenyan coast hassan is just coming back from fishing the sea was calm today the wind was out of the north and the currents led them to the right fishing grounds. after getting a glimpse into the lives of hasan and the fishermen in india sri lanka and costa rica i think to myself that the future of our oceans would be better left in their hands. but the us did was hiding. look when we come on. newsnight on the new cool one trillion to 1000000 i didn't even notice it but the 50. 9th
2:56 pm
thing we do think is yes it is in the. book that we got. there. in the media of course and then look at the news out of it was on the body. and then i think. but i'm going to keep that the will that make this. yes they are with us and most of. tom but that picked up 7 to be not happy about it than it is that my mom would
