the width of miami and the british coff um loaned us an m g h. do you know there was a beach in sand and go in tomorrow? off the 3 weeks they went home to a home welcome. so the world had changed just a bit and that's all for me coming up next, the dw documentary, and feel guile will be here for you off to stay with the german winning offer is available for every language learning german has ever been simpler german to go

the, the, in the middle of the pacific ocean, an ambitious expedition has set taps to explore the deep sea going when no human has ever gone before, where a numerous deposits of minerals night dormant can chew menissi benefit from this on top, the source of wealth. the technology to harvest it already exists. the 1st prototype of the deep sea collect tested patricia stones is called atanya. it's being tested at a depth of several 1000 meters. scientists and monitoring its deployments. because what is technically feasible might actually destroy

a delicate underwater well, is it was the risk this isn't included in them. these are basically batteries in stone form. this is exactly what you need to build a battery. there's manganese, nickel, cobalt and copper to conduct the electricity environmental protection organizations such as green piece one to prevent deep sea mining its own costs. the. it's the last cost of the planet that humans have yet to exploit for resources of the oceans in danger. the

sale has appeared on the horizon, the green pieces rainbow warrior was approaching the norman dennis, the, the scientists last night, the unnerved, everyone was wondering what was happened, the information about this happening that much except to say that they're making that action. so it's, it's for the movies and smashed designs because we don't know. the only thing green piece has emphasize you this, this is a peaceful page which is a peaceful protest. no help. and we can only hope that's what's going on on opens.

this is cynthia, obviously we're not the target. got that so sure we're on you. i'm just kind of soon as we moved away a little bit in the same way, the way god, we don't know what they're doing. bussey to him. the con light is something is happening on the starboard side both by and unfortunately, we can't see it open. trust me. on the green peace activists found and documented their actions themselves. they approached the industrial ship and painted risk on its side. it was a protest operation. on the high seas, the environmental protection organization relies on striking images and messages in many languages to galvanized supports green piece considered as the commercial exploitation of the deep sea to be

a fatal mistake. the savannah, i'm optional just for pollution on some name and that's the key. it would be an absolute crime to assume that the deep sea is a fair and desert, where you can do a bit of digging from manganese nodules and other oars, without having any impact on this a ton of device. that's what people would like to tell you, and i don't think the general public is aware that the deep sea is teeming with life on the companies involved and deep sea mining aren't necessarily interested and revealing the damage that's taking place down. there is the option off the home to the time they should, including and the long term shops in some of the long sandwich animals and ultimately, plants such as the clinton are being affected on the midland shaft. it's all about of the this is from dr. beasen does, it's already been proven that c o 2 has been bound and the sediments deposited on

the tape c for many thousands of years switched off. that means carbon that originally came from the atmosphere, happens finished. i'm to decipher. you disturb and stir up the set of most, then there is definitely a risk that the seo to this carbon that is currently sequestered down there. then one could also be released back into the water will be the and ultimately into the atmosphere. and you'll see on off the game, the green piece is rainbow, while we attract the newman to energy for weeks with the aim of producing images to generate support from the city of unemployment. so putting in the boy, let's make the point right now. yeah, the all, we want to make sure the oceans continue to have the possibility in the next years, the next millennium to be climate resilient, just syncing something they can be if we start digging and destroying the deep sea floor problem. succession to other than when it's not just taking out rocks or, and metals and then, but also the biology, the life forms and destroying their habitat. because all of this is involved in the

climate, stability of our oceans and our planet on sundays a meeting was held in the conference room on the islands. pride's the occasion green pasted, issued an invitation to a worldwide international video conference. i use the n g a is objective, was to prevent possible deep sea mining reports is on its concerns, giving arguments why disrupting the depths must be stopped at any costs before it really gets under way before we can even say they also took a slide to the scientist see within researching the effects, such an intervention would have green p said it wasn't genuine science is the right time or the influence that's outraged to the scientists. they said they would continue to carry

out neutral research in order to ultimately provide data on the findings, the to rule, so used by environmental protection organizations. and then and so some of the research has showed understanding for the protest on the high seas. and the concerns of the environmental protection organization. sometimes they are hi, cliff came off on this just a very sensitive issue. but everyone has the right to be concerned and also to protest. we are, of course we will try to be very neutral in our analysis on an easy and that's certainly correct. but that's always the question of what the science is used for. i says, and much of progress deciding that isn't natural stuff is albany that's will be done by the policy makers, will have to develop the regulations if you have

a hybrid all, what we're trying to do here is record what could potentially happen if a device like that which a drive around on the see feel i may have is located in the middle of the caribbean. see the island country jamaica is home to the institution that will decide what the deep sea mining is permissible, the, the international c pedal, sorry t or i a say for sure has its headquarters here founded in 1994 by the united nations. it's the overarching body that decides what happens beneath the waves. so all that i say contract is which are a combination of different entities, some governments, some private sector, some state research organizations, all of them having view,

eventually the sustainable explanation of deep sea mineral resources. i say, must proceed on the basis of the 2 fundamental conditions. one is that we act on the basis of the best available scientific advice through extensive consultation. and the 2nd visit we act on the basis of consensus. and most of the member states that make the decision that's currently a $167.00 countries, including gemini, they develop the guidelines known as the mining coach, according to which deep sea mining would be possible. we have a very unique opportunity here that actually has never been done before, which is that we have a whole new industry that will proceed only when the regulations have inputs in place. usually it's the other way around, industry stats. and then people start to react by trying to

find a way to regulate it or to stop that things from happening or to ensure that good things happen. yeah, it's completely the other way around. we will, we have an opportunity to, to get it right before we even start, which is unprecedented actually. and this is a really great opportunity. so really, it's a, it's a very highly transparent organization. what everybody has an opportunity to have to say and provide inputs into this emerging new industry. so this is where the decision is to be made. taking into account the interests of industry, the findings of science and the concerns of environmental protection organizations . nature conservation versus a $1000000000.00 business. cool. when in the end the, the island pride was sent out to work in the carry and k puts in. so it's an area

the size, if you run more than $30000000000.00 tons of manganese, no jewels. the said to lie on the ocean floor here. it's an enormous treasure. he said the results of paternity is look to the machine has stood up notched settlement. what does this mean for the environment? it is, his name is the search engine, but it says, my god cannot and having taught yes, the one we see here is the mangan, these natural habitats next to the tracks of baton. here are the disturbs, set them up as already settled around is completely covered the manganese nodules and phone and must be assessed invoice properties and what we want to find out now . so what sickness? the settlement does negative permanent damage and i'm with sickness. the phone can

possibly tolerate phone a ventilated under photography and it looks as if a snow storm had passed over the landscape and covered everything in its way to the measuring devices and needed to be brought up to deck for evaluation. a process that took many, ellis, the, the research is eager to see what have been brought up. even though the results of the analyses would like to remain unknown for months until they will, sweeney assessed and then the bar trees of the institutes in europe.

the 1st we've got to rinse them is because salt water is very corrosive to the electrical components within will download the data and take a look into morganze noise. these are the manganese nodules, and you can see that they were actually covered with deposited settlement agreement . but because the water is now slashing back and forth here, the settlement just watches a way. but it doesn't matter because we have to free the nodules from the settlement anyway, in order to collect the animals that live on the, from the dogs to the system. and you see, when you cut the manganese natural open, there's a core material around which it forms superstate. the nodule is made up of metal oxides, mangum, these oxides, and then there's copper and nickel ends, cobalt emissions, as well as traces of other metals. and that slowly builds up around the core

material. that is such a nodule with a radius of around 4 centimeters would be close to 2000000 years old. by many we all right. so the nodules, a pre historic stay, one's own eyes that the ship tests were being carried out in the bar at chase, as well as here in the cold drain. everything that had come from the depths was analyzed in detail. studying the structure and activity of microbial communities in the settlement samples is the work of tech issues such but to hon. yup. on the human history mean start to exploit and the see the results and the end of the week. unfortunately, the best for me to them in den for us, but this time of year. so exactly, because we need those resources loops up because the consume

a lot of this time we will see infects and maybe this time we can just stream our impact on nature them and use those resources in more sustainable that environment defend the rate. uh, personally, i would rather choose consume less and i don't buy it to the phone every 2 years for example. so i will decide to reduce if possible values and recycling dance and not touch the sea floor as much as possible. but the people needed it looks so the tanya shot mind has taken her seat in the control room. as a biologist, she was getting the chance to search the deep sea flow for knowledge animals.

working with the robot pilots. the shrimp drifting by didn't arouse much interest, fast teaching list of mid t. as in david, we've got a specific list of animals that we should gather fast. and we still have about an hour to hopefully find a few more starfish on, on the few seeing them in the num on the ball, take them to name and suck them up, just like a vacuum cleaner. owns and nothing's happening over the phone . no, i think we will just the rest of the free try to try to 2nd in yes, you can me the video, we can try to have it in the next tanya hotel right on the see. and then the name,

the, the robot found some other animals on shot to see that they did strange. it's amazing that animals can live here. we're told where the pressure is many hundreds of times higher than the surface. the was late to the robot to, to finished it, search on the sea bed and was pulled back on the phone with it came the collection of animals. the biologist was quite excited.

this time of the b a. i'm happy about but the to come back, even though i am probably the only one now to see to come but goes into the cold room so that my colleague can die secretary tomorrow morning. see it. is it still alive? me? no, i don't think they can handle the pressure difference for just measuring the temperature difference of over 20 degrees at they die on the way out. it was a special moment for the other scientists too. they were thrilled to hold these life forms from the depths close to them. it's difficult to world that's the

tanya shot, my nose, that human as he barely has a clue about what they've steep below the waves. all that they knew at the time of the mission was that bio diversity is high in the depths of the korean clip attends of some x, but suspects that despite your address conditions deep below the surface, that could be great to species diversity. then even online, it's possible that tanya shed hotman had brought a previously unknown species up on deck. honestly, i'm not sure if this is

a new ccs. that's why we're freezing it right now. it's minus 80 degrees. so that my colleagues at the same come back institute can determine if it isn't use b c's. we've just discovered, or if it's only one still unfamiliar to me, it's possible that this one only lives in the deep sea or i just don't know it yet . it was a time of wonder and joy about the island pride the faraway on the islands escaped that day in the atlantic. the conservationists of land to now was celebrating this small success the in summer during the night time c. titles come on show to lay that rags, they usually begin reproducing at the age of 20. that's when the females find their

way back to the beach is where they will hatched today, their ro next the if and lucky they'll find sand to dig a hole for the next. the retain from land to net is spending every night for 3 weeks. they find the nests, pick them up and take them to the protectiveness 3. there are too many nest products as far as human and animals. i like to let nature take its course. without the help of the conservationists, the titles would have an even greater struggle to survive given that shrinking habitats. there were a moments of one to every night. now the small ministry baby tassels are in the

jing taking their way out of the sun. it's a time of joy and satisfaction for anna into teen. but it's happening. the stuff is that hatch is so you can see the baby so. so now we are going to fast to see how long the wait message accounted. precise records are kept and then they given the little head stats, the off spring, a carefully carried to close to the sea, so they went full prey to anything or any one on the beach.

yes. yes, we are going and there was the good luck. the bible, the without the dedication of conservation is like on on to team things would be much less for the test holes in the atlantic ocean around cape that a the really heavy we've always a more show and also

a moment we hold the deck in 15 percent to use the veto. so this really to the lady i so this you but the rent and the quantity the but on the says there is much more to be done to improve the condition of the oceans, the stripping of sand from so many beaches as well. so effected marine life just of the case. food sources for fish have dwindles and there are a few opportunities to spoon the fishes. it's less and less and need to go as i solved the route. but i'm,

or as proud of the fact that fishing here is sustainable it's own about people's individual needs growth as an industrial booked him trolling. and hopes nines that extend for columbus has this no bike china votes takes in its catch of the day. a chain of this size is enough to feed several families. fishing like this doesn't come, ocean biodiversity. but that's not the case everywhere on the high seas. according to the u. n. food and agriculture organization, one stood of old fish stokes, a rosa faced, technically sophisticated lodge fishing fleets, the scouring the oceans back catch close to set by politicians often miss the target. a huge fleet of chinese industrial

fishing vessels works around the world. round the clock at sea. for months they load the couches directly on to congo ships, many billions of dollars and subsidies fuel this home full ton during the oceans. the chinese ships like this one. this specially designed to catch squids the animals are attracted by powerful lights at nights. these boats fly the horses mainly in the indian ocean or work of south america. these images taken from space show light sources of the coast of patagonia evidence of chinese ships hunting for squint the b. o. sorry caesar will but powerless. there are a few ways to monitor the most has and even if there are countries have no authority outside is that right and territorial lucia's green paste was monitoring

the indian ocean for months in the summer of 2021. they with that to document as a fishing and the legal fishing with the home of type. next movie the i'm, i'm going to phone. in the meantime, they've gone back to using just nets. they were banned 30 years ago by the us clinton, but just a few months ago in the indian ocean, we were able to document kilometer long that's being deployed and focused on these are known as well. guns very thin, barely perceptible filaments, often made of nylon visual asthma. garnish bonding behind for kilometers. i'm deep in the ocean. hanging, kill me to bite long teeth there left a long time and taken everything that drifts along in the water of us. and they don't only know their targets and pcs, such as to know or success shops ish this and they start turtles, cellphones with wells sharks, raised and many, many other animals that are not on their list at all. and ultimately only go

overboard as unwanted by cancer, and she was one of inch by fung. watkin, this is the next, isn't the campaign was evaluated at green peace headquarters, the activists of 9 for a long time. the life on the high seas is like nice in the wild west. yeah. or illegal fishing is a fishing and disrupt 2 fishing practices. continue to swift, an ocean life and know that the, let's find the boot and the other ones are going to set the latest figures from the u. n. food and agriculture organization said quite clearly about 60 percent of the world's food for stocks are exploited and exhausted. to their biological limit drive and around 30 or $32.00 are severely depleted sense and that means more is

being removed from ecosystems. more fish are being fish in the oceans, then can replenish themselves biologically. and naturally you question on the tradition did not fox and come to ministry. she's taken, and stokes cannot renew. this also affects the fishes like here in the west and baltic sea fishing company located knows if keel is looking for ways to secure the future of gemini, small scale fish's mom, the study has shown that college has almost disappeared. and tearing this throughout. the staple catches of the baltic has been unofficial for years. as a result,

the eu has almost completely banned the catch of both fish species father and son, maya are able to continue because they switch to different species and fish sustainably. with us on that we've always been fishers and you could almost say since time in the morning it's our lives passion and the best job there is look around freedom, beautiful weather today and whatnot. wonderful. no stress, no annoying people kind enough to mention on the actually there's not much to allow for that small scale fishes on the baltic of becoming a raspy. she's themselves the maya's. want to keep working within their own way whiskey and that's what i'm one of the longest serving fishers here on board. and as long as i'm allowed to pilot a boat with permission from the fishers trade association,

i'll be up the hill that kind of high volume is also fished code and hiring for decades. within the last 20 years, they noticed the stokes dwindling numbers of college in the west and both take a so low some scientist style. they will have a recovery. that's why years ago the maya shifted to only catching fish. this is still relatively plentiful, doesn't good. both, surely, this is place, it can, i mean everybody knows it licensed, i just got a whiteside on for them and it's a knowingly slippery loves you. not as smooth as a meal. it is. this is, this will be the 1st. so you man and it goes healings. we also use a beeping device by the way, to ward off porpoises. but you can also hear it sounds like it's quite soft now. yes. there's one here and one at the end of and they work off each other

. i can show you that there's got to be one every 200 meters and they scare off the porpoise that so they don't swim into the net the the minus of committed themselves to fishing sustainably and taking only as much as they need to and anything. nevertheless, they still struggle with you regulations so didn't does next was over them. yeah. it's to send, there's no flash on it. what are we going to do with it? why should we take it with us? how many? i just don't get it and we have gloves on the fish. i have nothing if there's a like this law applies to fishing with trawlers. it says we have to take everything we catch hold on getting rid of it. so it's counted towards the quota because they're supposedly dead any way. and that's the basis for this law. yeah. if we don't get it, we're supposed to take it this, but we won't even look because why should i kill it? i'm going to enter it. honestly, it's such a nonsense, at least for us, that's on the full. the problem with this law is the position with the trawler is acquainted with gomez? i like like like is it?

that's complete idiocy in my eyes pulling up fluids and other one for the few fish we catch that are too small, like this one here, and we just don't take them yet at all. next, we refused to do so. as i mean, it was divide on, so we're trying to avoid knitting smaller feet. how about using larger matches and much, much lights are mesh size is 10 percent larger than required. so we bring in good quality, significantly larger, the initial thought, because our profession is really getting a criminal reputation on his way to claiming that can't be right. it can need anything that's good. so now things are about to get bloody the industrial trolling lead to this knowledge. international fishing boat supplied the baltic for you is taking what the see how to effect sustainable fishing and selling close to the consumer became the mayas molto on the fish from cortez websites. it's probably buses on core designs. we

officially say comfortable in life, some of them now i'm writing on fish fun because that we want to sell our fish right away. what do we have? we have macro and we have target, and we have placing the we won't make 10 o'clock anymore, so we've got to change that 1st just about 11 to one. that just takes a few seconds and then it's up on the fish bottom quotes us side right away. it looks like let me know it's reloading fish for beforehand. there's a new address lloyd, from the back seat, folks that can assist you, but that's where we're about to go to sell mackerel term is placed on until 1 pm and, and it goes very because i've caused us doing the right thing is easy to comes by what you can get where you live, know the cutoff is that leaves us with potatoes and cabbage, but that's how we save the world. that doesn't say that's the point. we don't need huge container ships. we have one right now. there's one coming up behind us. they distribute all the junk from around the world and we just need what's here. and

it's a wonderful product. honestly, i don't see any other miles. saving the world. if everyone behaved like this, the oceans might not be in crisis. and neither would the fishing profession the off to the 2nd world war. there was 3000 fishing businesses on the baltic coast. if she has to be hostile now and the a few dozen small fishes are left who are trying to survive by a sustainable building that fishing the lean while large industrial fishing boats with huge nets continue to fish as if there were no issue the to miles have been fishes, the h generations,

they don't know whether it will go on. but if it does, then like this, we need a macro and to place to this one. yes, that's very nice. into place. yes. the medium size, and that would be all for us. all right, then that's 13, you're totally. sometimes it really does happen that we have no fish for 3 or 4 days when the wind blows across the baltic and we can't go out of the could you just have to accept it. other stuff, even though we're not a supermarket, we can only deliver when we taps on tests flipping a suspicious rest and so to is the health of the oceans. but as the fishing

is just one reason why the oceans are in crisis, unbridled over exploitation is threatening the seas. alexandra costume limits this in the end. we will just tom ourselves as well as our environment. the granddaughter of ocean exploration, costume knows the oceans, covers 71 percent of the planets produce halls of our oxygen and absorb huge amounts of c o. 2. right now we still have the opportunity to change how we fish to put a moratorium on deep sea. my name have an opportunity to expand ocean farming in a way that's regenerated with seaweed for us growing around the world and the restoration of sea grass beds and main groves and salt viruses. we still have a chance to do that in a way that will actually rebuild our oceans and, and bring that life back. i think sandra costume has set up a foundation. cold oceans 2050 and it's a missed to restore ocean. have

a tense. she and other ocean conservation advocates believe the solace disrespectful exploitation of marine life needs to end on most of these eagles that's we must make a clear change, of course, towards more inputs section and away from expectations i'll spell it goes without saying, we use resources from the see if we need them, but it has to be a regulated environmentally sustainable level. we must prevent all the damage we can for, and it's actually extremely late now already. and some cases were 5 minutes before doomsday and then others, 5 minutes after arrival. one could only hope that our oceans also have a future because our future as humans depends on it directly to think that we are still unacquainted with the depths where i need just beginning to understand what goes on deep below the surface and the significance,

these processes have an iphone land, the energy transition must take place. climate change must be stopped. but is commercial mining in the deep sea west? the risk? you know, we do need a colossal amount of metal to achieve that and that metal needs to come from somewhere. and by all means, recycling is hugely important and can play a role, but it isn't enough to get us there for decades to comments. so new sources of metal will be needed. and um, for gsr we, you know, we're aiming for 2028 as the earliest date for commercial production of 2, a 6 week expedition. exploring the deep sea voyage of the islands, probably to slowly come to an end the scientists did a lot of testing measuring, observing, i'm think, even if many final test results can only be reveals of 2 evaluation in labs back

home. the research is already knew that the harvesting of the c bed was just about unstoppable. sean dot com. i believe it will come at some point marks we want development. we want to prove we want a high standard of living, of a nice thing that should be the case for the entire world population. for that we will need metal in some d, phelman m of i. from that perspective, i told the companies in what ways continue, continue to research and trying to tap into this tricia here. and then we also if ask you refuse to do it since maybe then people in asia, well as blog or so on. but i do believe that at some point the time will come when the mining will take place. circle got us into a big on the bad touch, basically guys, because their truck is one of those are the tradeoffs that we actually have to make

as a society, or is it worth it to us to destroy our great, sustainable systems who want to indulge and this continued long term damage that goes way beyond our generation. is it worth it to us to rec, so i think because we're talking about huge areas of st bedroom by the mountain. but if we just continue on with our consumption of these metals and don't achieve a sustainable cyclical economy, we will have completely destroyed each see areas like the entire body and clipper consumer to come up with an 50 to a 100 years since we're not john complex i stood talking about an area that's 30058000 kilometers much. i can take area, the size of europe that says in time that we have destroyed nations. it was we all need to keep that in mind. tom, i was gonna say i've, i've done my fault and the,

[000:00:00;00] the, to the point to clear positions, international perspectives. after much preparation, ukraine's long awaited counter offensive has begun. and while its forces are still reporting their gains in meters, experts say the progress is credible. how we're putting react, that's our topic on to the point. dw,

the highly talk to us it's been banned for decades in many countries. damage cost to people and the environment is catastrophic. it would take more than a 100 years to completely dispose of all this best, those containers material and tell you the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on dw

the the is the state of the news line from 5 man 9 man arrested on suspicion of people smuggling in connection with one of the mediterranean southwest ship breakfast asked us, rescue crews is still searching for survivors, but it's fear hundreds of migrants may have dropped. also on the front of the
