it's an icy 7 o'clock in the morning and goro. and the harbor here on the po, daughter is draped in a thick fog providers. pies, auntie, that doesn't make setting out any easier. i know you tried to navigate by orienting yourself to certain landmarks, but on mornings like this. when the fog, which we call calico is so thick, it makes navigating difficult, super very difficult. his father fish the adriatic before him, but a day, but his harvest, clams, bungler. where and how much they can that changes every day, placido i go, but a diva mundell mist in the evening. we get a message from the co operative a demand telling us what zone we can fish when we can set out. and when we have to return to laura and how much we can bring ashore,
12:45 am
these are the critical thing. they glide for a half an hour through the silent lagoon. then suddenly the quiet hands, the crown fishers appeared from the fog like ghosts, 1500 men and women worked to go to lagoon. that as finally reaches his assigned zone is not deep, but it is cold. this gloomy gemalto just got that susan bonnie: it's the only way to warm up your hands when they're cold. ammonia ammonium all come all the clam. fishing is more like farming the sea bed than traditional fishing. the goto fishers harvest, almost $14000.00 tons of mollusks. each year up today we can all harvest 30 kilos, they suck the mollusks out of the sand with a special device. the water is 6 degrees celsius just right for winter. but in
12:46 am
recent years, the temperature has stayed about 11 degrees celsius. climate change is also affecting the po, delta noise we did. yama come to our mental lima. we observed the effects of climate change here when the sea level changes aqua. when the chirac a wind blows or during the phases of the moon, the fuzzy lunar video, ones that are see come yeah, mentally back. we also see the effect of climate change when we find fish i demolish and crab species that we've never seen here before. it said that the b value janetta, give him a known of it. that's why clam farming is important. he says to help protect the climate liquid key. the shelves are made of calcium carbonate, gabriela, to the car, which is just captured carbon dioxide. lemmy that he, that carbonic at the university of florida. professor elena thom bodine has authored a study on the impact of muscles on the climate. it confirms the growth fisher's

12:49 am
but take one of them away and local life can be disrupted. that's what a community in great britain was faced with. upon hearing, one of their treasured shops was closing at stores. so chris morgan and other villagers decided to run at themselves. their d i. y attitude in wales comes as many in the united kingdom are adjusting to life in the wake of breaks it. oh, it's another ordinary day here in new portal, the welsh town is home to about a 1000 people for pups and a hardware store. however, it's been in business for nearly 150 years after that the child has found here i for her. ah, but then about a year after breck said to came the bad news hazards planned to close its doors. it was a bomb shell. we were all devastated. yes, i mean have odds has been in newport for many, many,
12:50 am
many years before i came here. i'm so it's very old traditional business and everyone was really, really, really upset that we would lose it. oh, no one wanted to imagine life without their frying pans and kitchen essentially. so new port residence said about raising nearly half a 1000000 pounds and took over the shop themselves. now the employees get help from volunteers. i like chris morgan, a retired engineer. we're not for profit organization. the profits go straight back off to cost and paying a small amount of shareholders interest. go straight back into the community. a helpful source of funding in hard times. and in post breaks at britain, e. u funds are now sorely missed in rural whales. new ports, football clubhouse, for example, was built with the help of e money. the welsh government estimates breaks. it will cause a shortfall of over
12:51 am
a 1000000000 pounds over 5 years. so some people in the region are seizing the initiative. obviously the loss of european funding is going to be a blow, but we will have to no seek of the funding post within the community and to watch government on u. k. government and hazards hardware store. local residents are pitching in to help save the sharp. volunteers help wherever they're needed. sometimes they may keys. i've never seen one or just have a little charitable growl and they use. yeah. if we got, if we look at the stock they can. so i love just looking around a little more. was that doing so well, things like that. i mean, you can put that all sorts of uses, but to, you know, it's, it's, it's just having everything here and just looking rather thinking i could, i could do with one of those. so for me, this is a shopping paradise. the atmosphere is always amazing and heavy, and i love love working her and but there's an extra buzz because you feel as
12:52 am
though you don't it for the community. now. a new port, more than 500 people now own shares and are helping to preserve harvard's the heart of their community. west wales, which is predominantly rural, is seen. young people leave in droves. shops are closing everywhere. chris thomas is a member of the community development charity active in the region and the cost of of energy means many small shops are struggling and our closing, we see in the news every day local shop suffering. but by having a community shop, we're working with over 500 shareholders to encourage them support their shop. ah, for the people of new port seizing the initiative as paid off. they even managed to win over the british government, which is planning to help fund a new cafe here, as an added attraction. ah,
12:53 am
it's got that sheesh, and you can't smell a spit. there's a smell of paraffin, an oil and plastic leather anthea tissue back to childhood here when these places used to thrive, and this one still does thrive with the community purchase, it feels as though people are taking action in the best way possible. i'm and everybody supports it. so there aren't any, you know, dissenters though, people who don't agree with with us during it you're the people of new port in their community and hazards have become a source of hope in a region that has seen its problems. compounded by breaks it, locals, hope their community initiative will benefit not just themselves, but also the next generation of new port residence. hitting your home without gas and the worry over soaring energy costs is
