is also political. zebedee situated announced a little from 2013. we did not cooperate at all with russia, the aggressor, we only cooperated on exhibitions and projects with western partners. i never agreed with the opinion. the culture is not political. there's a fishing saying, if you are not interest in politics, politics will be interested in you. many here say that the worst is sealed to come, but by safeguarding ukraine and history and identity cultural institutions are playing a part in defeating russia's invasion by fidel ah, 175 years ago. a young start up entrepreneur at a specific goal. 1 build the best article instruments in the world. good size.
11:16 am
and indeed, his wish has become a reality when he suddenly 5 years of size starts june 19 on d, w ah, the arctic pond to a giant ocean credits of the oka or killer whale off the coast of no way. we join an expedition under extreme conditions, the water, his eyes cold, the air temperature below freezing. marine biologist lucas mila, is getting ready to observe. a pot of oak is up close. there world is on the threads from climate change. lucas, mila isn't the only expert concerned about dramatic consequences for the oceans, and their inhabitants
11:17 am
were heading out to sea. lucas mila wants to know how climate change is affecting the arctic ocean. so he's looking for a school of herring. as temperatures rise, herring are expected to keep moving further. north. cold water is where they feed and it just so happens that herring attract oak is as their easy prey lived, forbidden gotten the fuel and see are a deep and wind. so finding the oak as takes a bit of luck every day, they could be somewhere else, or wherever they are a hearing. they're an orchestra. it's lucas miller's 1st time here off the norwegian island of shimaya, inside the arctic circle. he has no illusions about how serious the situation is
11:18 am
here. meineke, which is august us. my greatest concern is that we're inflicting irreversible damage on the ocean is an ecosystem for d. v. domitian. time to rescue nature will never be as good as it is to day. so grinsley, sandy hall, if we destroy natural habitats to day, it will take hundreds or thousands of years to recover the knocker towers law. and in most cases, we don't have the motivation, that's the ability my, or the knowledge to bring those habitats back fit. we don't even understand how they work today. they're not profiting, busy, hopefully, it's day one of the expedition. he and his team have been out since early morning, but so far, they're not saying any herring. thank you. time is of the essence. it's late november and there are only 3 to 4 hours of light a day of commit to this. tick the very out of it. here. give
11:19 am
me the team also includes underwood's a camera man, leonard, a horse and felt that is a fraud fight. you have the black and white contrast of the fuel, the waves coming up, the wind whips up the waves and sometimes it looks like there are whales coming up and breathing. but it's just wishful thinking. my darkness is closing in. it's early afternoon and there freezing as they returned to the harbor, was noisy, circa we covered about 100 kilometers to day. that's quite a distance kanaka. we didn't find any orchestra, and to morrow we'll try another fjord and hope that mother nature blesses us with a sighting of dignity so we can get them on camera for the lens. and so it's not just here in the arctic that the ocean is changing. water temperatures are rising world wide because the oceans absorb
11:20 am
a lot of the warmth created by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. surveys down to a depth of 2000 meters showed that very clearly. since the 1980s, ocean surface temperatures around the world have been rising steadily in 2019, the temperature was 0.77 degrees celsius, above the average for the previous century, many small sea creatures are unable to survive in the warm water. other fish species have begun migrating towards the poles in search of kula conditions. those who can't cover such huge distances will presumably die out. and that will have consequences for humans to premier dsi when not from fish. for more than 750000000 people worldwide, fish is an essential source of protein warner. diesel. without that fish that many
11:21 am
people will no longer be getting enough protein to survive in on. so, but it, ah, and there is another problem. the oceans take in huge amounts of c. o. 2, that's helped slow down climate change. but the moraine ecosystem can't continue like this indefinitely. as christopher simon from germany's institute of baltic sea fisheries knows all too well. actually that one who had to feel the impact of climate change would already be far more severe and far more visible if the oceans hadn't acted as a buffer. but at some stage that buffer capacity will be exhausted, and they will then need centuries to recover it. he says profound changes are already visible along germany's coasts. in dallas scenes this year, we've proven for the 1st time that the productivity for one of our key, caring stocks has dropped significantly, which will be reflected in the harvest in the coming years. i'm shocked as
11:22 am
a productivity for this doc is half what it was 30 years ago because of climate change general and that will directly impact our coastal fisher research or mit adolfo for lucas miller. it's day 2 in the arctic. the biologist is once again off to look for hearing about a bond by but 1st he applies a naked flame to the protective coating of his new goggles. to prevent them from fogging up. next he prepares, it felt with lead weights. he wants an extra 13 kilos to help him dive to a depth of 20 meters. we got thin, white jacket people. all right. thank episode figure.
11:23 am
we were ready to go for the lift. good. good. good. so soon they get their 1st indication that harring our round birds circling above the water and just a few seconds later the oak is arrived. the sense of anticipation is huge. even for these 2 experienced divers, neither have ever been in the water with these giant creditors. lucas miller dives without an oxygen cylinder that allows him to move more quickly and get closer to the oak is without disturbing them. let's all that. i took my last breath and dived. huh. it's like another world you're waiting in. the bits is huge. shadows to approach some of these. then the entire post winds passed out. the
11:24 am
solar f like it took me bulk is used nachos sienna, known as echo location, to communicate with each other and navigate their surroundings. the group functions as a unit with the bulls swimming on the outside to protect the pod venice . don't spider i. monmouth did tioga once, i'd been down with the oak as 2 or 3 times and the bulls understood that i pose no threat. an inquisitive mother came right up close to me with her coffee. i am young to probation. ah!
11:25 am
hawkins are perfectly adapted to the frigid water, but lucas miller is pushed to his limits and beyond. on a day, like today he burns around 5000 calories. after 4 diving sessions, it's time to call it a day. isn't that if we're going to leave them in peace? the weather's deteriorating. visibility is starting to get cool. it can be dangerous. if you push your luck to fall like hell, sort of a snow storm is building up. it's high time. they left the marine biologist is not only interested in the arctic, he goes diving all over the world. we spend 6 months of the year at a marine national park off the coast of mozambique. here he's doing research to endangered shock species for his doctoral thesis,
11:26 am
focusing especially on both shocks. he takes water samples and then analyzes them with special filters for traces of genetic material left by the shocks. that way he can tell exactly where they've bain. he and his colleagues also work with microphones anchored to the sea floor. the microphones pick up signals from shocks that are tagged with transmitters. that way the ranges know exactly where the shocks are and can protect them more effectively. feel it is. amelia found unlocked the marine life is experiencing huge stress from human activity. was mangrove forests cleared to make way for shrimp farms, entire coastal june's are being leveled for sand minds. and then you have oil drilling and over fishing of you as a marine scientist. i can't just stand by and watch these local stress factors destroying nature. here, along with global climate change that is endangering wonderful reserves like this
11:27 am
blue savannah, or torn truck to viet a blows up on. i am the gotten back to no way. it's late. but lucas, mila is came to analyze the days material and study the behavior of the yorkers. dean from us, soon, dubuque, issamottom, above the information we've collected about where the all cars are located. we pass that on to local scientists straight away lenses. which few, and i spend a lot of time studying bjork as behavior towards me am. and to put that into context of what i'm learning each evening about the ecosystem and what other experts here are teaching me taylor, gus and other expand for my firing. one of those experts is ever to move from the norwegian institute for nature research. he spent several weeks a year out at sea. his research is focused on humpback whales and augers, or killer whales. huge mammals that are good at adapting to changes in their
11:28 am
environment. all animals live in the sea will at some point be affected by the effect of climate change in one way or another. and but both killer wilson humbug wills are quite an adaptive so they are an ad generalist species. that means that they are, can eat different. so sources of food, they can withstand large variation in environmental variation and, and they can travel over large distances. others, species can't adapt to climate change so easily including seals, ad walruses. they live on the ice, a habitat that steadily shrinking. finding food is becoming increasingly difficult . oak is and humpback whales, on the other hand, have benefited from the change. as more ice melts, they have a larger area in which to hunt. but even they aren't safe from human activity.
11:29 am
the noise of the fishing troll is along with a growing number of tourist boats is affecting the whale's ability to communicate, navigate, and hunter they have to be louder in order to, to communicate with each other. or it's simply not possible anymore for them to communicate with each other. and that means that they've most likely leave the area . and then of course, there is a pollution, there's basically the accumulation of heavy metals in the, in the marine footwear many killer wills, have alarming amounts of, of having metals and other pollutants in india or blubber. it's especially problematic when oak is and humpback whales run into fishing boats up to $100.00
11:30 am
can gather around a single boat drawn by all the herring in the huge. ringback was possible for can, will to go over the edge of the nets and then into the, into the net or even for amber coil. and, and that, that can be dangerous because they, they can drown in those, in those nets. and, and it's, it's, it's quite a big problem when that happens, because there's no really good way to get a will out of the net or other them to open the nets. but that means that the entire hiring catch most of the hiring use is already debt by the time will be, will be lost. and that is some, it's, it's not only a financial problem for the fission, but it's, it's even illegal to the, that's the ha, by in the coast to town of share boy draws fishing boats from across norway, the regions, industrial fisheries with their huge trawlers have benefited from climate change, that's because the warmer temperatures further south have driven numerous new fish
11:31 am
species into no wage in waters. this feature is just changing over the nash before casting out again. fishing. the harring mainly takes place in the hours of darkness when the fish are closer to the surface. what you have seen is that the hurrying is moving. maybe if we close for luring more and more north. when it comes to the coast, we heard a cold, for example in the salt is sir, is struggling. but i will call to this i live. i don't know. maybe it's so i love my beard, sir. blue shall i don't know. and maybe it's too much visual this factory in sheer boy processes many tons of fish every day before exporting them all over europe. they mainly deal with herring and cod, but he had to
11:32 am
a lot has changed in 15 years. i've been in this industry that that proficio increased at 4 degrees or degrees. when we started up in the north, there was only small cold milk much school. but temperature went up cold colming, moving, moving more north for india. and it might be that the cold and so there are some, some boy on a pettus and never sees the catch made by the huge troll is all the official process directly on board. that trend has seen his workload plummet. petterson used to have 80 employees. now he only has 15. he plans to retire soon. his son will probably have to sell the business fishes like
11:33 am
pear davidson who go out in small boats are also struggling to day he caught just $200.00 kilos of cod and 50 of harry. he and his wife travelled here from southern no way hoping for a catch of a 1000 kilos a day. he's also worried about the future. no, it's bigger boats undergo for alt on the sea, so they will. they can get the fish and the way this can go talk to mas from the coast. and if you want to go for you need more, more safety equipment than the, your radio and everything. so if you're out of called close to the coasts, we will have to think of something else to live. for lucas miller, it's day 3 out on the water. each day the temperature drops a few more degrees. suddenly he spots humpback whales in the
11:34 am
distance. if you go, what do you think it's ah, let's check here, the side go, but farther vividly, more and then we draw the team is hoping for the rare opportunity to listen in on humpback whales. they lower a hydrophone into the water with a one on one. does the sticker with the whales communicating with each other, coordinating their hunt. this it's amazing because it's so rare for us to be able to listen in on these wireless. it's pretty special on the clatter,
11:35 am
humpback whales grow up to 18 meters long and can weigh as much as $35.00 tons. ah. they mainly feed on plankton and crill. if climate change tree is even the smallest shift at the base of the complex food chain, even the giant humpbacks will eventually be effected. graham could 100 assistant klein, cliffs dealer, deepest or fewer. not creal, a small crustaceans that occur in swarms forming a bio mass of up to 400000000 tons under the arctic or antarctic ice. there as the ice mill is the habitat that the crill need to thrive is also shrinking unbox. and
11:36 am
that can lead to a dropping crill stalks over time, which could effect many other species that depend on crill limits of consequence. lamphier under tillery, from cropping some ah, diving with a hump back whale is something even lucas miller has never experienced. but the water temperature today is just 3 degrees celsius. the divers soon have to leave the water. they get dressed quickly and head back to the harbor. lucas miller can't imagine life without the see. he's happy to face every challenge that his work presents him. then all sounds, shirts on the fixes on the protecting the ocean and making sure that may be my children or future generations will be able to experience the magic of the ocean.
11:37 am
my that's my mission live. that's my purpose in life. my name is short and i couldn't imagine anything better lives in every 2nd that i spend in the ocean, whether it's cold or warm it, whether i'm with sharks or orchestra. col is a 2nd that was worth living. i or i'm an orca is another. and as a corner these various to live. but our oceans are under threat. the entire moraine ecosystem could become d stabilized if climate change continues to advance worldwide. ecologist and of a finer is deeply concerned. mostly the, the, the wall is changing too quickly. it's changing because of are all activities. lay we're cru, something that is bringing me to to a heart high degree is bringing suddenness. the impact of global warming is especially pronounced in the north and south pole, where once huge expanses of ice and snow reflected the energy of the sun. now dark
11:38 am
areas of water are absorbing the heat. we talked about the global temperature and increasing by one degree in the 1st century. and the are to cause experiences about $2.00 to $3.00 degrees increase in temperature over the thing. thank period 2 in the arctic we're really experiencing what the rest of the globe may see. very soon dealt comes for full being positive to decide this. the aquarium in the city of thompson has a number of species from the region under a fly. now says it's already clear which species will lose at most in the process of climate change. these are some of this case is that the most threatened by clemmer changing the arctic level, the bottom, they have small size and they don't move so much. so they are very is approved. the bigger predators have come from the boil area in the barren seems like the bigger cause or wolfish or other other fish vicious. but mammals that require extremely
11:39 am
cold conditions are also affected. polar bears are struggling to find food. in desperation, they've started 18 reindeer and birds even if they try to exploit new systems, it doesn't mean that they will survive physically. well, science is really depend on the blubber of seals, which is high in energy that the polar bear needs. so the polar bear has been eating egg strong bert nests and things vol boards, and that's just looking for them to come when thing the energy supply. but find a says it's not too late. if we take action immediately to say both our environment and ourselves, we haven't been living on the planet to this curtis table for the past many thousands of years. and now we're making it was, this was changed the way the function in the way that goes way faster than we are.
11:40 am
so can adapt to both her biologically, but also culturally. so it's true that because history change and maybe they become something else, may become something more impoverished or, or maybe something different. the question is, are we able to adapt to that? back to lucas miller? it's his last day out on the boat. he still hasn't managed to film or curse hunting in the school of harry norman smith of iowa. we now have an air temperature of minus 4 to minus 8 degrees and water temperature of 4 to 0 degrees watts. so salt water at freezing point. yep. on, on you notice that a hot shower and a trip to the sauna just aren't enough to warm up afterwards or lucas was off to them. the skipper worn same of the risks he faces. the good getting up with me a very fast, and it's quite dangerous, because your brain is not thinking straight to think you're warm,
11:41 am
and you start to strip in the you actually just remind her, and get me or send me the situation. but lucas mila remains undeterred. he's received word that about a 100 orc is our hunting, not far from the coast line. just 15 minutes after leaving port. he's on his 1st. hey, this is the moment he's been waiting for. a huge swarm of harry has arrived. the oak is not long in coming by blowing air and swinging their tails. the oak is work as a team to drive the herring to the surface. i'm city it'll be done
11:42 am
in in helix. one of them will, lynn swim into the group of herring bumps and with a targeted switch of the tail take out a whole sway the fish duncan and sullen or yorkers can then goble up the hearing. and in some cases, you just find certain bits of herring afterwards, them to tile of york as suck away the most nutritious parts of the fish, and then spit out the head and owns them. the copy one great and good aus. he knows the oak is, could kill him any time if they wanted to. even the planet's largest animal. the blue whale has been hunted and eaten by all his and so has the great white shark. but oak is in the wild, have never been known to kill humans. diving into the water repeatedly in these temperatures and then sitting in the cold wind is exhausting.
11:43 am
so i can hardly pull my soak so no feel my fingers on my feet have been um for the past hour. i'm sure i've got cramp in my calf muscles of the submissions. at some point, you just have to concede that we humans don't belong here. the ocean is stronger. and so now after a life changing day, we're heading home. all marine climate change is advancing a pace and seems almost unstoppable. ultimately it will be humanity that decides the future of our ocean's glimmer, the theft and ish oh, it breaks my heart when i'm out on the ocean and i see how deeply we are impacting the lives of these animals that are just as intelligent as we are if not more so it's hard to swallow here is to show on and whether we're impacting them directly through excess noise or marine pollution or indirectly by robbing them of all food
