ah, exploring modern lifestyles and the editor ringing where has history left its traces, meeting people, hearing their dreams. ready to join this week on d. w. ah, oceans are one of the most important and an elementary 4th of life on what they stabilize our climate system and spoke 50 times more greenhouse gases than the atmosphere. in fact, they are the most important goblins sink on our planet. they're also home for hundreds of thousands of marine species with saliva is crucial to our life or none

on equal india today. let's talk about what's being done to take care of fuddle shots, hello, and welcome. and some of that. for our 1st story, we don't go very far, just a few kilometers from here in will by marine life and especially coral colonies. sure. are threatened by pollution and environmental degradation. a collective of young marine activists is working to create awareness and safeguard the cities coastline. with mom buy is known for being india's financial cup of tea for its beat, friends, and densely populated discreet. but when the dives recede from its shoreline, every day, the real part of the city that only a few of its residents have ever seen. clear this, this being things who can see basically desire. it's got suzanne once the

inquiries mixed. ok locally called roxanne it yeah. plenty of them. i there and one died in m needles so you can see it for a deeper dog is a cell who teaches water sports on the side. he started coming out in 2018 book and camera in hand to walk the shoreline. oh wow. where is it? where is was, oh, maybe julie julie now because that, that he's not being involved and are distorted, pretty serendipitously for him. one day when i was scanning fisherman's name, i got to see you and see haws in fisherman's nate in dang. stay a small animal lay 3 inches long. it was very close though. sure. i don't find it because from our shores who are not even going and i was leg sap at a so much of life every their quarters wanted to see vans spawn. yes. it's late. i

bought it in 2018 petard is started documenting the cost today. dozens of volunteers walked with him and 4 other members of his group now called maureen life . mom, by looking for vide live that has so far remained largely unseen. one member of the group san ignite uses photography to reveal the ecosystem. he has photographed new, the bronze corals, sauntered octopuses in the starfish among other small to microscopic species. here the team has set up an organization called causal conservation foundation. and along with other members like shown at mahdi, the goal is to secure legal protection for the species that document we have along with the wall for protecting light. we don't even know what exist till so we go from shore brochure during lot aids. what that does is basically builds a baseline formation of all the money and our city of the city. we really want

other people to make use of the data that we're collecting. in fact, we will have a very fancy students who are doing a dissertation, have use our data, and it has been used in news articles in the court. what we want is multiple people to provide data to the database and for every stakeholder to make use of it, including the government and natalie's. while this community works above water, another resident of mom buy goes under 23 year old, a scuba diver, a we the boob has a similar love story with the ocean. and the idea for me was to go and explore what exactly i did, miss fees of the ocean. i am not able to comprehend living and bon b, and i wanted to see mary in life. i wonder this, the shocks land at easter doesn't lead all natural habitat bubner photographs, a coral reef, and the life around to just chill residence. what's down there? she then conduct workshops with locals, including fishing and other local communities. the hope is to mobilize people into

standing up against pollution and see that that has been flowing into the ocean, destroying happy dots. so i think for any community of any individual to realize the importance of climate change, they really need to see what's happening. and because the origins are so polluted in bombay, they cannot seek out those down. they cannot see the marine life clearly and do, and you get more people about god, a life. what we do is we host workshops where we project beautiful images of god as well as many life and educate people that these things are there in the oceans, and they need to be protected because they are being threatened. so the and ideas the said, well as to the level i've been without this beautiful moody life as a to you, i, nations actually impacting them and they therefore work toward saving it. the bit thread that all citizens groups are up against at the moment is a 1600000000 euro highway project that is blown in this area. it was

a post and core to put the city authorities defended its viability and won the case . the court do has asked the city to cross look into coral life elsewhere, but people like google not concerned how that will affect the entire system if the cause don't survive. so god as i the basic units off the median for an ecosystem just like plant on the basic units of the land ecosystem and the land 14 surf. 5 potters die, the small officials are going to die as a result of that. and the larger fishes i'm going to die on the entire teen wellborn together and separately concern citizens of them by are working in their own knishes to push the cause of my life. and biodiversity in the city for my mission is to give the see it to do. it's not being done right now. and i wanted to be done when we look at protection, when we look at the holidays and when you look at the location,

it's done for sort in 3 feet. why? because the ecological important. oh, why i just lost me to like a lot of mean. what have you studied? are we others? we still feel that they are not important. and wor, we'll decide what is important wanted. we maybe being a little equal to someone read or normal. i will. i will, my, my in is to have a more holistic vision for our shoreline and our to dig the team house documented to were 500 to small and virtually invisible, a species along on bicycles. by drawing attention to the ready existence, the citizen warriors hoped on shore, valuable marine life can continue to fulfill its role. and mom buys environment now safeguarding marine life is very commendable and the need of the hour. but sometimes we're faced with difficult choices. for example,

when extracting rare resources from the seat that could enable a more sustainable energy supply. manganese nodules are one such case. they contain valuable metals that can be used in batteries, e, carves, and solar panels. but is the deep sea mining of these nod youth? environmentally friendly? let's find out. cobalt copper and nickel. their own was a known as transition metals. they're all around us and yet considered rare elements. we need them to make batteries, smartphone, laptops, electric cars, photovoltaic systems, and other types of power storage. the extractable amounts of copper, cobalt and nickel is very limited. these results is could soon be exhausted. that's especially true of cobalt. it's estimate said that the global demand for it could double by 2026. the largest cobalt reserves are in congo and

australia, where it's often mind under a pooling working conditions. poly metallic nodules from the c bed could alleviate the problem. it's been estimated that they contain around 270000000 tons of nickel, 230000000 tons of copper and 50000000 tons of cobalt. oh, the nodules, a spread across large areas of the sea bed at a depth of between 3 and a half $1006.00 and a half 1000 meters. oh, in environments that have hardly been explored, poly metallic. no. jose grow very slowly and require a steady supply of oxygen, as well as a constant stream of arc take deep water. just

how those no jewels grow is a pretty complex process. but put in simple terms. it all starts with minute organic particles like shell splinters or fragment of shocks. tooth over millions of years. metallic compounds dissolved by the sea water accumulate around those particles and grow about to send to me to every 1000000 years until that the size of potatoes, or even cauliflower heads. the purpose of findings of poly metallic. nadia is oh, actually done by the challenge expedition. 1874, that's been a long, long time. and they, they just brought up a few with towards where they took sediment samples of interest for economics. stoddard, really in the, in the seventy's. people found out that these metals are in there and that that's where it sparked more awful exploration. so scientists and not the only

ones interested in poly metallic nodules. a lot of companies are also came to extract and exploit them. deep sea mining advocates say procuring the nodules from the sea is more sustainable than conventional mining. no forests are destroyed and no mining galleries have to be built. there would be no child labor or toxic fumes . the nodules could simply be collected from the sea bed. at least theoretically, but one of the problems engineers are facing is the high pressure present in the deep sea. no machines have been able to harvest the nodules on the sea bed in a commercially viable way. yet, machines that looked like vacuum cleaners currently being tested. other prototypes are also in development. the biggest concern is the impact this technology could have on marine wild life because it

won't just be sucking up not jewels as it moves along the sea bed. so who makes the rules that govern the deep sea? it say you an organization called the international c bed, all sorority in 1994, the e u and a 167 countries find a multilateral agreement that regulates deep sea mining. so far, the sea bed authority has only approved licenses to research the poly metallic nodules, not mine them. a german research project has been studying the effects of deep sea mining for several years. the g o ma research center and the max planck institute for marine micro biology participated in the project. they discovered that the nodules play an important role for the c bed foreigner by providing a vital habitat for sea creatures. ah, we saw that

a lot of these manganese nodules, harris, all shed foreigner sir. you have glass bon just and then you can literally like for example to live. so you have long stalks and then you have is born men main body on top and they am really grow attached to the nozzles and beg karen how was a very deep speeches the research project simulated effects of deep sea mining in an area of a few square kilometers of sea bed, the dimensions of large says own the top, $5.00 to $10.00 centimeters of the tubes are completely wiped out and destroyed together with a follow. and the, and it kind of off re colonization or recovery of the system on the soft sediment will take hundreds to thousands of years. many deep sea microorganisms and animals could be disturbed or destroyed by the machines. even the relatively modest

research project altered the environment. figured out that after more than 25 years, the most of the parameters that were analyzed didn't recover fully. so you can expect that even the pod that might recover that is independent of the nodules that there was definitely be gone. will needs decatur 2 centuries if it can be covered on the mining could even disrupt the oceans, complex food chains. so is there any way to make deep sea mining sustainable that is not sustainable because it's not re growing. very simple as that. i think we can already make up all online society if we want to accept this impact or not. it's a dynamic. if the deep sea, no jewels are off limits,

where will we find enough of the metals we need to produce clean energy? first, we can reuse what we already have by taking precious metals out of batteries and all the devices. several companies are already optimizing the recycling process. and we can reduce our consumption and use the devices that contain these precious metals much longer. another treasure is being retrieved from the oceans in india, menard seat. yukon bars are banned from being sold in india because they are considered to be critically endangered. but fortune still pre on them while they're so important and what's being done to protect them. let's find out. ah, under these christine waters lies a strange creature that's creating quite a stir. not only in the local fishing town of monday,

upon one of the sudden most of india, but all the way into the mainland and beyond to neighboring china. to see cucumber, this one can do up to 30 centimeters long. conservationists have been trying to study the marine animals think you'll come. birds are called the other ones of the see. just like how are 2 arms out of farmers? friends, the r c cucumber plays the role of earthworms in the sleep, which means it helps to make the soil more fertile and at this is good for the c glasses and other other associated organisms that live on the c c floor. i. and even though what a column above, over the last 4 years, looking for a strange officer as the thief has taken on the role of protecting to see cucumber because of its important ecological vote already

a cali when the sea cucumbers. excreta is alkaline in nature, and so it neutralizes the increasing acidity on the caesar frisco. and as it neutralizes the coral reefs underneath, the lot are saved from the thread of bleaching when the coral reef is healthy. fish cross crabs and other creatures tribe around. if any body, so only if the sea cucumber tribes of yellow sea will there be fish in the sea for our future generation? this is what i'm re other with the threat to the sea. cucumbers began when demand for them started soaring, mostly in china. dr. t cucumber, known as batch the mare is a popular delicacy and also considered an aphrodisiac. as a result, putting in india has increased 13 fold over the last 5 years with one i can larry, you'd wonder the loan will get more light. now, lots of young people are involved in the scribe when in big smugglers where misleading young people is saying that they would like only go to jail for $5.00 to $10.00 days. and then they would come out and,

and the case of detroit treatment. but 2 events campaigns conducted by the forest department, and we have reiterated that amount of data. now this is a highly dangerous act. the punishment is similar to the crime of hosting a tiger. and an, or an elephant delora or punishment. get a gamma either equal on or punishment. les the gate to see cucumber is listed under the wildlife protection act as a scheduled one. species, which means the punishment could go from fines of to lactose peace, about 2000 euros up to jail tang the forest officials petrol. this area checking for the contraband. and also teaching people in the villages about the consequences of getting caught. some farmer porters have learned their lesson. we spoke to one who wishes to remain anonymous. toyota, grandmother, and i got canceled. by the way, i once got caught on halting the told me that the punishment would be between 3 to 7 years. imprisonment, guessing by the elders in my community decided that it was wrong to do the sound

when it illegally on them. so we decided that we would stick to catching fish, or crab limone they even if you converse, get caught in on, natalie when we take them out and returned them to the water nala, other than hung up and yellowed for that, you know, but this hasn't been easy for the fishing community who have traditionally fish to proceed. cucumber for their own needs. the bow which came in 2001 has affected their livelihood. would have been regular. i'm even a fishers would only fish will see cucumbers at certain bill. yes or not all you're running out of the good, a still survivor. there are divers from blue to cooper in the sun to damage with and they are all the stronger armies with every now and again they were allowed to catch. of course you can call us the could cell dory. wonder groupon, our just or 2 years there, which would buy them a recent amount of food. lawler, dana, and all right. i was our bottom origin. it's a complex problem with the seat you cumber. in the middle of it, all,

it forest officers, lexitas, are able to protect the animals by keeping an eye out for poachers. the casa marine ecosystem has a better shot at surviving, and the local fishermen could get back their livelihoods or still areas of a sensitive ecosystems. fishing itself can have a negative impact on them. in spin, a group of volunteers diverse is trying to raise awareness about this problem and organize clean up expansions for the move metal and garbage from the c. shorts now did see horses, soft, corals, neptune grass, groupers and a wide variety of seaweed inhabit the mediterranean waters off more. seattle in southeastern spain, with 73 kilometers of coast and the biggest salt water lagoon in europe. it's a paradise for recreational fishing,

but many fishermen use lead thinkers. they can end up on the see bed where they pose a threat to marine life fung, i'm afraid castle them base. let's take the case of a fish feeding on algae growing on a piece of lead when that fish approaches and begins eating the algae. it also ingest, so lead meant it, it becomes part of the marine food chain. the small fish me eaten by the bigger fish and so on. if you like me to let is pass from one to the other more control. finally we as seafood consumers, wind up with that lead on our plate. ah unwise for plato. some fishers are starting to use alternative thinkers made of ceramic or think, but the un estimate some $640000.00 tons of fishing gear, including hazardous metals, still ends up in our oceans each year. to combat the problem,

volunteers from hippocampus. an organization focused on the conservation of shorts . now did c, horses have launched the plume? boom project, bruin ish or ny there. boom boom is a project born after so many dives. eunice, where we saw so much rubbish made from metal whip as if he got from lead me that used in sport fishing and professional fishing. ah, they bought the way big ha nets loaded with lead sinkers for example. it had got a team allajay. they failed to remove the metals from the see. the project relies on a vast network of volunteer divers like phalanx, arleas haddocks. today he's joining a cleaning expedition, a couple of the puzzles, a seaside village in one of the most bio diverse areas in the mediterranean basin, balsamic. okay, global. we're going to collect lead from the sea floor. it may marine wave sent hooks from fishing here. you've only one, i will small pieces that settle on the bottom of it and get half buried. let's see

if we get lucky. with the help of metal detectors, divers can collect between $4.45 kilos of lead at each cleaning. the results are registered on a website that monitors their efforts since 2017, more than 14000 metal sinkers equivalent to one ton of lead have been removed from the mediterranean. but plum bomb doesn't just remove the metal. it also contributes to the circular economy by giving it a 2nd life. thanks to public funds and private contributions. 200 containers have been distributed at diving sinners and yacht clubs along the coast. here, all divers can deposit pieces they've salvaged. yeah, given it was it was a global we put the lead here government that then the association collects it and

takes it to the companies. we have an agreement with us that they can recycle the metal so it can be used again in batteries. for example, on rural promo for what the dea had the death. once the containers are full, the project coordinators bring them back to the heavy metals recovery center. to date, they've delivered more than 900 kilos for recycling. apart from lead other garbage such as plastic cans and glass is harming the marine ecosystem. normally only divers see the damage 1st hand. so colombo members also organized photo exhibitions to raise awareness and reveal the underwater reality. it can also, they're not shabby sheet. people who don't dive can imagine what is under water, honey, but they don't really know leak. so if we show them photos and explain to them the consequences of, of having garbage in the sea,

they become more aware. he dumped it. a shake on cynthia must. in addition to encouraging the use of sustainable sinkers boom boom is working with governments to implement eco friendly marine policies. and it's appealing to all people to stop throwing trash into the see. ah, now it wouldn't be far fetched to save them the health of our planet defense on the health of its marine, life. life on earth began in our oceans, and it falls upon identity from to make sure we protect it. think about that and i'll see you again next week from our entire team. good bye. and thanks for watching. ah ah
