get a step with v w business beyond 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 humanity benefit from this on top, the source of wealth? the technology to harvest it already exists. the 1st prototype of a deep sea collect test of the trash and stones is called atanya. it's being tested at a depth of several 1000 meters. scientists,

some monitoring it's deployments because what is technically feasible might actually destroy a delicate underwater wells. is it was the risk this isn't included in them. both of 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 would happen the information about this happening much except to say that they're making that action. so a pretty, it's is for the movers and smashed designs because we don't know piece are the only thing green piece has emphasize you. this has to be so you just a peaceful protests,

no help. and we can only hope that's what's going on. um, opens this is cindy, obviously waiting on the target. got that so sure. you understand. as soon as we moved away a little bit thing raced away, garage, we don't know what they're doing, but the tools icon lighted something is happening on the starboard side board. 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, unpainted risk on that 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 absolute us for pollution on some name and that's the key. they would be an absolute crime to assume that the deep sea is a barren 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 in reviewing the damage that's taking place down there. often often home to the time they should including and the long term stop since and often long sandwich animals. and ultimately, plants such as clinton are being affected on in midland yourself. that sort of them of the this is from aka reason does. it's already been proven that c o 2 has been

found and the sentiments deposited on the tapes the for many thousands of years switched off. that means carbon that originally came from the atmosphere apo spanish attempt to decipher. you disturb and stir up the set amounts to bend. 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. the, the end ultimately into the atmosphere will stand off the game. the green pieces, rainbow worry, attracts the newman to energy for weeks with the aim of producing images to generate support on the system of unemployment. so putting in the boy, let's make the point right now, you know, we want to make sure the oceans continue to have the possibility in the next 2 years. the next millennium to be climate resilience. just sensing something they can be if we start digging and destroying the deep sea floor problem, success driven 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 was on sundays. a meeting was held in the conference room on the islands, prides 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. it reported on its concerns, giving arguments why disrupting the depths must be stopped at any costs before it really gets some of the way before we can either say, they also took a slide, put the scientist see what then researching the effects. such an intervention would have green p said it wasn't genuine science is the right time. 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 pro test on the high seas. and the concerns of the environmental protection organization, sikesdale. 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 says and what do you progress deciding that isn't that your stuff is albany that's

will be done by the policy may, cuz we'll have to develop the regulations. you have to figure it out. what we're trying to do here is record what could potentially happen if a device like that with the drive around on the c field. located in the middle of the caribbean sea, 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 a t or i a say for sure which 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 states research organizations, all of them having view. eventually, the sustainable exploitation of deep sea mineral results, as i say, must proceed on the basis of 2 fundamental conditions. one is that we act on the basis of the best available scientific advice through extensive consultation. and the 2nd is that we act on the basis of consensus amongst the member states that make the decision that's currently a $167.00 countries, including gemini, they develop the guidelines, notice the mining code 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 been put 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 input into this emerging new industry. so this is where the decision has 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 tricia, and there is no way retrieving. it will happen without disturbing the deep sea flow . so the results attorneys walk, the machine has stood up notched settlement. what does this mean for the environment? the address was the same as the search engine, but it says my god cannot and having taught yes, the one we see here is the manganese natural habitats next,

the tracks of baton young where the disturb settlement has already settled on. it's completely covered the manganese nodules and phone and must be assessed and for this privilege of what we want to find out now. so what sickness? the settlement does negative permanent damage and what sickness the phone can possibly tolerate phone. i eventually identify photography and it looks as if i know stone had passed over the landscape and covered everything in its way on the measuring devices and needed to be brought up to deck for evaluation. a process that took minneapolis 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 were affinity 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 since he mcgonigal and 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 them in the drug store, the system. you see, when you cut the manganese natural open, there's

a core material around which it forms the state. the nodule is made up of metal oxides, mangum, these oxides, and then there's copper and nickel and cobalt imaging, 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 and start to exploit and 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, then use those resources in more sustainable then environment. defend the rate. uh, personally, i would rather choose consume less and i don't size to the phone every 2 years for example. so i've decided 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 man 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 assurance 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 how many the enemy, the people take them to name and suck them up. just like a vacuum cleaner. owns and nothing's happening. is it that is funded by saying no,

i think we will just dress the different try to try to suck it 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 batch data. 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 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 seek to come but goes into the cold room so that my colleague can die secretary tomorrow morning. see if it's still alive. me know, why do think that can handle the pressure difference with especially the temperature difference of over 20 degrees at they die on the way out. it was a special moment for the other scientists to 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 clarion clip attends of some x, but suspect that despite your address conditions deep below the surface, that could be great to species diversity. then even online,

it's possible that tanya shot man had brought a previously unknown species up on deck. honestly, i'm not sure if this is a new species. 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 prides. the faraway on the islands escaped. that day in the atlantic, the conservationists of lun tune 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, the teen 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 predators says 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 habitat. there are moments of one to every night. now the small ministry. baby tassels are imagining digging their way out of the sun. it's a time of joy and satisfaction for anna into teen. but it's happening. he says, is that patches so you can see the baby so so. so now we are going to fast paul, as long as we are for the wage message and counted precise records,

the kept and then they, given the little head, starts to the off spring, a carefully carriage close to the sea. so they went full prey to anything or any one on the beach. yeah, thank you. yes . and the good luck of the the, the without the dedication of conservation is like on, on to team things would be much worse for the test holes in the atlantic ocean

around cape that a, the really heavy. it's always a more show. and also a moment we hold the deck in 15 percent to use the veto service. really, we've done to me the i so this you but the rent and the quantity that 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 those to the affected marine life

just of the case. food sources for fish have dwindles and there are a few opportunities to spoon the fishes to less and less and need to go as i solved the route. but honor is 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 boat takes in its catch of the day. a chain of this size is enough to feed several families. fishing like this doesn't calm 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, large 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 looks 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 squids 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 of their own territorial voices. queen peace was monitoring the indian ocean some months in the summer of 2021. they were that the documents over fishing and the legal fishing with the home of type. next movie the i'm, i'm going to fun. in the meantime, they've gone back to using just nets. they were banned 30 years ago by the un cronan, 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 9 long visual asthma. garnish bonding behind for kilometers. i'm deep in the ocean. hanging, kill me to bite. long one's teeth their 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 sort fish ships, fish the simply star 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. illegal fishing is a fishing and disrupt 2 fishing practices. continue to swift, an ocean life and know that the, let's find the best and the other ones are going to set the latest figures from the

u. n. food and agricultural organizations 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. me 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 is too many facia 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 fishes. opening up a

study has shown that college has almost disappeared and tearing this throughout the staple catches of the baltic, has been over fished 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. 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 fisheries trade association, i'll be up the hill and i have kind of high volume is also finished cold and hiring for decades. within the last 20 years, they noticed the stokes dwindling numbers of college in the west and baltic 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, isn't good. port charlotte, 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 in the end and it goes mailings, we also use

a beeping device by the way to ward off porpoises. you can also hear it sounds like it's quite soft now. yeah. yeah. there's ones here and one at the end of end, they work off each other. i can show you that there's gotta be one every 200 meters . and they scare off the porpoise that, so they don't swim into the net when the miles have committed themselves to fishing sustainably, and taking only as much as they needs to and anything never the less they still struggle with you regulations is to do nothing except i'm most of them, yeah, it's to send, there's no flash on it. see what are we going to do with it? why should we take it with us? i'm just, i just don't get it and we have gloves on the fish having 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 there's supposedly that anyway. 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. because why should i kill it? i'm going to enter it. honestly, it's such a nonsense, at least for us, that's who owns the full. the problem with this law is that wishing with a trawler is acquainted with gomez, i like like like is it? that's complete idiocy in my eyes pulling up roots. in other words, for the few fish we catch that are too small, like this one here. and we just don't take them yet. i don't think we refused to do so as let me it was divided on. so we're trying to avoid medic, 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 dorothy close our profession is really getting a criminal reputation. god is already claiming that can't be ranked of it can let me think of it. that's good news. 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 not the buses and the officials are comfortable in life. so some of them now i'm writing on the fish phone because we want to sell our fish right away. what do we have? we have macro and we have target and we have plating 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. that's something that's look like. lemme cool. now it's reloading fish for the quote, and there's a new address only showing it back to sleep ups that can assist you. but that's where we're about to go to cell macro turban place until 1 pm and, and it goes the vegas eyes. cole's dust, doing the right thing is easy to come by, what you can get where you live. you 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 the color. stine now and the a few dozen small fishes the left who were trying to survive via a sustainable guild, that phishing the meanwhile, lodge industrial fishing boats with huge nets continue to fish as if there were no issue. the

myers 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 the 13, you're really gonna tell you 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, then we can only deliver when we catch some tests flipping

a suspicious rest. and so to is the health of the oceans of the but as assessing is just one reason why the oceans are in crisis, unbridled over exploitation is threatening the seas. alexandra costume limits that in the end, we will just tom ourselves as well as our environment. the granddaughter of ocean exploration castille knows the oceans, covers 71 percent of the planets produce health 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 mis to restore ocean habitats. she and other ocean conservation advocates believe the solace disrespectful exploitation of marine life needs to end most of these eagles that we must make a clear change, of course, towards marine protection and away from expectation. also, 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 print and it's actually extremely late now already. in some cases, we're 5 minutes before doomsday and the other is 5 minutes after arrival. one can only hope that our oceans also have

a future because our future as humans depends on it directly to think that we're still unacquainted with the depths where i need just beginning to understand what goes on up below the surface and the significance. these processes have my phone lines. 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. after a 6 week expedition, exploring the deep sea voyage of the island,

pride to slowly come to an end. the scientists did a lot of testing measuring, observing on think even if many final test results can only be revealed of 2 evaluation in labs back home. the research has already knew that the harvesting of the c bed was just about unstoppable. barbara, sean dot com. i believe it will come at some point. we want development. we want to peruse. we want to high standard of living. so don't know. and i think that should be the case for the entire world population. for that we will need metal in the 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 via if ask your 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 and circle got us into a big on the bad touch, basically, guys, because they're tough pressing the. so is this one's, these are, 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 tends to come up with an 50 to a 100 years since we're not. yeah, i'm complex as 2 out of that infinity and we're 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, i need you to keep that in mind. what that's what the one thing i've, i've done my fault and the

live working as long been a male dominated industry and nigeria. but elizabeth defy, you know, what do refuses to go with the flow. she designs and manufacturers,

modern furniture in her own workshop. and as a role model for many, and not just we have 3 megs in 30, the w the this one is available worldwide learning german has never been simpler german to go the entire 34 years. i was

a middle i didn't know best. now i know the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on d w the . this is dw news y from berlin. us secretary of state anthony blinking is in beijing for crucial talks. blinking is washington's highest level official to visit china in nearly 5 years. has tensions between the 2 powers remain high also on the program, the warden ukraine must still.
