5:17 pm
the 1st time i came across the term ocean grabbing i sort of imagined this giant hand that was tearing 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 eaten 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
5:18 pm
looking for its next catch. more rules more restrictions more fish more profit. we're in a place called troy gotti bandar a makeshift fishing village in western india. but. 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 ta-ta 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
5:19 pm
world bank share of that $420000000.00. on a corner cutting that i need much less i live. much you invent all that much you know it's kind of on a fairly or my liquid i think clearly a lot of a lot of. going to climate but they're. not value adding these ideas then and there are a lot of talent. at that and i think that he up on like that. and i'll call pointed in the wind and the oil much the market with that kind of money get that. money it's about us and the world does have good if you know. some sort of. wall see mussina g.i. . joe which. they've nickel.
5:20 pm
5:21 pm
the fishermen of troy gotti bandar are part of the people a muslim minority along 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
5:22 pm
are no cars and bought a democrat about oh just books. i 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. the ocean is often fickle the shrimp only come twice
5:23 pm
a year and sometimes not at all still carlos doesn't want to think about any other kind of work and around here there is no other work anyway. there are no streets 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 but then it will be and it was general for than any of those it was the animal i mean the candidate of the other but i. would both know you don't. know not an owner of a 10 someone going in that. typically they fish with 2 to 3 boats. nobody goes out alone. let out that.
5:24 pm
i think it will out. there oh. 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 every man 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 hasn't. wanted it all for you but everyone the best when i was the sort of out of the american i was in the lounge and i'm out in the middle of a good. as when i gave him a quick do i. care about these dogs and i don't weld. for you
5:25 pm
i wasn't wearing you where a little is going on with the judge will look when i'm head is on the little bell and into the air when i'm trying to get at it but if. it does i'll get out of there but i'm going down the road get on the muslim and more like when you land a minute and you know coming out and then get in on. the people in the middle but i'm going to tell you coming and going we have more to go to you my disease us all reveal my disease i knew. what i had to get in from the head of the head man i support it when i. told them that but they could have gone up because i knew where . your bolt. well that's and then check up arabia has got some i don't quite grasp it as input going up arabia so you know that i will not get into the same boat as intensely alec and i do sense here because we had this idea that i'll handle at those who is union ek united in those that. are
5:26 pm
better. i don't matter unless they pull your own put a lot of money and you have to your day in the caribbean the people going up as a model that's what the new unity maybe and they say out of bed and i meant that but i mean nobody up on the 15th they have to pick out of. the better i mean to hand the campus out there in the new. i'm back out though i mean as i said at. any moment of this and if keep it up is something that i mean to put on it is simply out of the now if i don't always. pay so 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
5:27 pm
a family and bought a dead colorado and the business profits are minimal and most people don't even fish for more than what they need themselves it's. 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.
5:28 pm
valid and i have never said that. and i 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 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. by the way can be putting a little under the might. be how they are going to be able to. make it all does seem. a bit of a given they were up to you know negative ads. appeal even if it was you will find
5:29 pm
them a very. good residue of a negative naveen it or not we. were lucky we didn't. have any out of the meeting going to my own nightly. on mit you got the money the money the money and then we have a negative family doing. here. maybe due to the mood or you know when i look you up with a you know. a little bit of movie you know one or. some others are there in the garden another little. yeah bought a real commercial live at that and bought a little to go over there let me but in the minority but it is a little bit of them be careful. as they do it.
5:30 pm
when i meet meals to santa for the 1st time he still doesn't have 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. i. think 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. all the time or galloping up that he bought a month maybe to fix it up but the men end up not good at not going and what or
5:31 pm
they're not plucked out what happened i didn't have that happen that i'm not that you haven't missed a lot of other. gazi 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 delicate auto the ocean is teeming with life here in kenya. what. if i did it. only fishes during the day. while the night fishermen are still
5:32 pm
selling their catch on the beach he's getting his boat ready to go out. 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 he took us down. to the most of the openings in. the moonlit. nobody'd you can build a mud using up and down you don't know much as does the. nobody visible to. use.
5:33 pm
the local. means something like we who are together with the 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 but the proceeds community projects are financed to provide things like drinking water health care and the reforestation of the mangroves. single. body you're sending me see. me. and if you go on like here. when you. see so much you know not to what you're. not to but yet they say you need to fund
5:34 pm
a meeting that we need to. focus on and ghazi environmental protection is a community effort. is 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 fauna they can be destroyed by the nets. the sea bed 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 none at all and they were not going to yeah they definitely want to hear
5:35 pm
that ambient thing i mean that is that. you'll be in the end they're going to go down on the on of the other boys if you mind that you might not recorded. and you see them being but i you provided though i mean to prevent the money that is not going to you i mean that is the money that is not a good movie and. at the thought i will get. that i'm going to do what you want to be and they don't order that i will get. you out when i don't want to get along the end they'll tell then i'm going to win a lot of that will go gaining a lot of that will get you i think they are going to the only knows it but again but they don't get a lot of the inaugural day. 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.
5:36 pm
and then the net is pulled back 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 c. 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. i am sure most of it.
5:37 pm
when it is a d.m. . exclusion in this business. he can do is. go to skinny he'll take it in a queue it must. be in my name who is actually on his. games. list the discolored is there in the big money sid insist if you don't use. this get is with. ever. been money set in is the. position. given rivera is a marine biologist and founder of the environmental group. for 4 years now she has been moderating discussions between the bottle colorado fish and cooperative and the government of costa rica.
5:38 pm
she's been making the journey to bottle 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. well nothing at the end i think is a sieve sin in this is that it is good at picking it up or get it done in the store just as good as it was then and foremost and if thoughtless trick to see if it is important if it's going to worry about you think and. and there. as 100 in the going to go yet or can not i get out of the if you have a thought it would. be our daughter and i doubt it will be as they will remember only this is the eat. you up with for years i thought of that episode and
5:39 pm
5:40 pm
every summer about $1000.00 muslim bogen families make the trek from their villages in the interior of the country to the standing fishing areas along the gulf of kush . 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 processing under the attentive eye of mary ahmed buddha ismail's wife. of the 2 have been married for over 40 years now. so good. things being said there you have a staff. that
5:41 pm
a good. looking out of your maluleke and. they let it happen that you don't have. a lot of the t.v. and don't feel. i need to limit. the amount even thought that was that i had that look like that we told our larry that the one of. the boys have a lot to everybody give a little and you know be able. i just ask you why don't people i love you the bible if you in my living thought of i had those e-mails. if you never let me we never that's a the bible and if you would say if i began to mount ideas you like to keep it at the end it does would. go you group yeah you have some international finance corporation or.
5:42 pm
i know you supports companies who i have see who we. report. those and they will argue to. work with a good new year. if you. ceilidh nobody wanted to get on the low but it will likely go on little prickle improvement new way the wall was at its uses. make it. look ordinary got to be all over supreme court pretty good maybe music about the did it i have sickly medium you use lee it was a little needs of the day and. i don't know. anything i might. like there. in 2007 part tell
5:43 pm
founded 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. and. 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 again. but i think you.
5:44 pm
do. 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 and 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
5:45 pm
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 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 that was a bumper sticker from a good one the same problem other than the guys it depends on you know but it's my job on the job orders and not for nothing 10100 tons of it in terms of leno not you know but it's nice and easy dumbo you bundlers on monday night you're 21 years and years old when i look up on the. number of years from you i knew nothing about my book since it was about one number one person who told me to and i the money every month and then you know i'm not going to the number of troops that you would see who know who i'm up and i'm not even.
5:46 pm
that you don't think that we're going to try. to. kill you to make kokomo just work is a communal effort today project manager. is out and about with some folks from the nearby village of mckown 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 this kiss 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 i need my holly new bass i'm like i'm a mind of a person like you and i turned on my i now listen my god oh god oh go on out we don't know what's going to tackle and i can be a be
5:47 pm
a productive. body cool my vote how under my shining you. think you will be how do you know when i see you at home again was about me me me. me and you know was a knowing i might have touched him out of the park i was able to hold him to a call you know on bottom well enough but i have opiates and i saw a movie seeking seeking to cut regular financial market but i think you see what an accused of you said by another tornado when out about going into the courtroom seated on my going to tell you make the world. will know you are c.c. . funny guys up on the. lucky me the impact is global. change. in the unions the mom experience level key to a much akin any fun and i don't. know
5:48 pm
if you know more than once you. sell certificates for $3000.00 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year. every tonne is worth $6.00. that translates to $18000.00 per year for the village over the next 20 years. yeah. there's a look at them like go up out of your ears all the people who don't get up i shall fall out of my league i usually use a 2nd bang model to hit back and i thank god i. mean what he says he'll use it with a. better means you're nodding your head when you really think any bad allergies
5:49 pm
and you. bet i bet on i can't deny that he says yeah yeah the how i like period even getting that he's a. target i'm at the end of a guy as they call me honeys and they are getting better every soon and it put a couple more days when i was young the bank would be really doesn't see any idea why i made a good cause an all in all but i'll bet on the battlefield not about gold may not be the one that never returns yeah yeah that one of you guys you let me buy that i got him off but he had a plan and we put them to key in emails your napkin booklets on the constitution and new couple and nothing's getting any of us to come out of. and i asked him to see can is he the most in need. because skin has been me that got antiseptics us biscuit subsisting. that is against the b.c. and his ex they must they considered us feel muddied when to let. a sting see on
5:50 pm
demos the end of this bill was it in sick board is good or at the center. of the city when listening to this they had ideas but the heroes seem to space cowards in. the sense with an invisible star perspective is only one percent. 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.
5:51 pm
commune ever see those environmental activists out here in our communities. you know you go there. thinking. gosh undressing 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 you can mend no one has it. no one but you don't you know when you're over the role or if they will look up the i was you got to do
5:52 pm
dependency wise you got to cut the movie believe a woman because gump. not the last many. many subsequent do you have. powerful judgment to live in all. the. way because me when you look me in my eyes even. seen warne's i have to mean holding. all. of you as you want to. project. to me some of them. if you namely to which is a bit. if you. really do. discovery to replace let. me go to
5:53 pm
a little did we. really it was in the clear that we did with. those who you. know is so. in big data shouldn't you 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 are lonely and you think i got lucky that
5:54 pm

5:56 pm
the money you. need on the new tool the $1.00 to $1000000.00 would be nice but the money to be. good i believe. he would do it if yes he did in the. book that he. died in the media of course and then look at these i look at what's on the body. and then i think. but i go to. a kiss. yes there are cricket that us can also.
