power thing, overcoming opposition from tongue. great. you christ presidents as describes the decision as a victory for christ and for you next. don't think w a documentary looking at the consequences of industrial exportation of the pacific ocean floor. of course i'll be back at the top of the have a good the there's no, i'm just john can have a site just to make the right decision, dw news on the ground, to follow

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, 9 dormant country menissi benefit from this on top, the source of wealth, the technology to harvest, it already exists. the 1st prototype of a deep sea collective for the treasure 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 wells. is it less than 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 and 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 ring, the warrior was approaching the norman dennis the, the scientists were slightly unnerved. everyone was wondering what was happened, the information about this happening much except to say that they make an action. so a pretty it's, it's for the movies and smashed designs because we don't know if i'm the only thing green piece has emphasize you. this such a peaceful agent as a peaceful protest, no help. and we can only hope that's what's going on. um opens this is cynthia. obviously we're not the talk it got that so. sure. yeah, i, you know,

i'm just as soon as we moved away and the 2 beds and the same way, the way the dogs, we don't know what they're doing. bussey to return light is something is happening on the starboard sideboard, and unfortunately, we can't see it open trust month. 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 with nice 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 as for pollution on c name, and that's the key. it 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. this is, 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 is the option of the home to the time they should, including and the long term steps in some of the long sandwich animals. and ultimately, plants such as the clinton are being affected on in midland shaft. some of them of the this is from dr. beasen does, it's already been proven that c o 2 has been found in the settlements deposited on the tape to you for many thousands of years switched off. that means carbon that originally came from the atmosphere. apple. spanish pumped to decipher,

you disturb and stir up the set of miles 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 and ultimately into the atmosphere. apple c and off the game, the green pieces, rainbow warry attracts the normand energy for weeks with the aim of producing images to generate support on the system of unimportant opinion. 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 year in 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 oven 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 swipe at the scientist see what then was searching the effects such an intervention would have green p said it wasn't genuine science is the right time is 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 hike list came off on this just a very sensitive issue that 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 certainly correct. but that's always the question of what the science is used for access. 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 potentially happen if

a device like that with the drive around on the c field. located in the middle of the caribbean, see the island country jamaica is home to the institution that will decide what the deep c mining is permissible, the the international c bed also or 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 defines what happens beneath the waves. so all that i say contract is which are a combination of different entities. some governments, some uh, private sector, some uh, uh, state research organizations. all of them having view, eventually the sustainable explanation 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 expensive consultation. and the 2nd is that we have tons of 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 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 where everybody has an opportunity to have this say and provide input 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 kyrie incompetence of it scenario. the science of europe mullins, the billions homes of manganese,

no jewels are 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, atanya as well as the machine has stood up notched settlement. what does this mean for the environment? the address was the name is the search engine light. 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 possibly it's testing for this privilege of what we want to find out now. so

what sickness? the settlement does negative permanent damage and i want sickness. the phone i can possibly tolerate phone. i eventually identify photography. and you know, stone, i tossed 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, it took many hours 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 at something more gone. 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 away. 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 bronx, to the system. and 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, manganese oxides. and then there's copper and nickel and cobalt imaging,

as well as traces of other metals. and that's 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 then that identity, unfortunately the best for me to them in den for us. but this time of us so exactly

because we need those resources looks up because of the consumer. a lot of this time we will see fix and maybe this time we can just stream our impact on nature, then use those resources in more sustainable then environment to friend 3. personally, i would rather choose consume less and i don't size to the phone every 2 years, for example. so i would to start to reduce if possible values and recycling dan, 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 shouldn't drifting by, didn't to rouse 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. so you know, many venom, the people take them to name and set them up just like a vacuum cleaner. owns and nothings happening over the phone. no, i mean we will just rest does if we try to try to suck it in. yes, you can show me the video, we can try to have it in the next tanya hotel right on the cnn. 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 were told by the pressure of as many hundreds of times higher than the surface the was laid to the right. but 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 to

move the photo design. it'd be 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 mike on a can die secretary tomorrow morning. see, and con, is it still alive? me? no. i don't think they can handle the pressure different sort of measuring 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. the bulls that they knew at the time of the mission was that bio diversity is high in the depths of the korean clip . attends stomachs, but suspects that despite the address conditions deep below the surface, that could be great to species diversity. then even on land, it's possible that tanya shed hotman had broached

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 this thing come back institute can determine if it is a new species 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 opposed the island. prides the far away on the islands to escape that day in the atlantic. the conservationists of line to now was celebrating this small success the in summer during the night time c tassels come on show to lay their eggs. they

usually begin reproducing at the age of 20. that's when the females find their way back to the beaches where they will have to lay that row next. the if and lucky they'll find sand to dig a hole for the next. the, the team from line to net is spending every night for 3 weeks. they find the nests, pick them up and take them to the protected nursery. there are too many nest products, has those 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 at this moment,

es 3 baby tassels are in the jing taking the way out of the fence. it's a time of joy and satisfaction for anna and teen, whether it's happening the surface at hatches so you can see the baby so so so now we are going to fast to see how long the wait message and counted precise records are kept and then they given the little head starts of the off spring,

a carefully carried close to the sea, so they went full prey to anything or any one on the beach. how many do you think eats? yes, and there was the good luck of the sabbath. the without the dedication of conservation is like on on 13 things would be much worse for the test holes in the atlantic ocean around cape that day. the

really heavy. it's always a more show. and also a moment we hold the back in 15 percent to use the veto. that was really done to me that so this was the rent and the quantity that the but on the says there is a much more to be done to improve the condition of the oceans, the stripping of sand from so many beaches is low. so affected 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 always proud of the fact that fishing here is sustainable. it's all about people's individual needs growth as an industrial booked him trolling. and hoax nines that extend for cannot much is 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 home ocean biodiversity. but that's not the case everywhere on the high seas. according to the u. n. food and agriculture organization. once the of all, fish stokes, a rosa fished. 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 looks around the world round the clock at sea. for months they load the couches directly onto 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 night. these bites 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 squid, the deal, 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 that route and territorial voices, queen peace was monitoring the indian ocean some months in the summer of 2021. they were that the documents over fishing did legal fishing with the by now multiplan and congress one. in the meantime, they've gone back to using just net they were banned 30 years ago by the u. n. clinton. but just a few months ago in the indian ocean, we were able to document kilometer long that's being deployed and focusing 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 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 out. fish this into the 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 catch it. and vision was one of inch by fung. watkin this is the next as into 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 disruptive fishing practices continue to strengthen ocean life and know that the let's find the best. and ellen's organise at 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 lucas will not to this indeed, not hawks, and come to each team inefficient 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 threat. the staple catches of the bolts that

cause being 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 bowl ticket 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. you can, i mean everybody knows it licensed, i just got a whiteside on for them and it's a knowingly slippery loving as smooth as an heal. it is. this is this will be the 1st. so you man and it goes and 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. yeah. yeah. there's one here and one at

the end of and 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. the the my us have committed themselves to fishing sustainably and taking only as much as they need to an anything. nevertheless, they still struggle with you. regulations is to do nothing except i'm also with them. yeah. it's to send. there's no flesh 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 them. so it's counted towards the quota because they're supposedly dead anyway. and that's the basis for this law. yeah. if we don't get it, we're supposed to take it, 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 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, that only we refused to do so as long as it was divided on. so we're trying to avoid knitting smaller feet by using larger matches and much, much lights are mesh size is 10 percent larger than required. so we bring in good quality, significantly larger phase. i'll give you this on the initial because our profession is really getting a criminal reputation causes lady claiming that can't be right of it can easily think of the so that's good news. so now things are about to get bloody industrial trolling lead to this knowledge. international fishing boat says site the baltic for you is taking what the see how to effect sustainable fishing and selling close to the consumer became the maya's

molto. on the fish from cortez websites. it's probably buses on core designs to be officially comfortable in life. so some of them now i'm riding on fish fun because 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 bone courts. us side right away. that's something that's look like. lemme cool. now it's reloading fish all beforehand. there's a new address, only shown back since the pups big issue, but that's where we're about to go to cell macro turban place until 1 pm and, and it goes of the vegas eyes lock. how's the us doing? the right thing is easy to come 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. it doesn't say that's the point. we don't need huge container ships. um, but do 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 wealth. 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 $3000.00 fishing businesses on the baltic coast of shows to be hostile. now and the a few dozen small fishes the left who were trying to survive by a sustainable guild that fishing the meanwhile, large industrial fishing boats with huge nets continue to fish as if there were no issue. the

myers have been fishes to h generations. they don't know whether it will go on, but if it does, then like this in the box, we need a macro and to place all this one. yes, that's very nice into place. yes. medium size, and that would be all for us. all right? then that 13, you're reading until the 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 on the v could you just have to accept it as a stuff, even though we're not a supermarket. we can only deliver when we tap some tests flip into a suspicious rest. and so 2 is the health of the oceans. but as

a session 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, casteel 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 names 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 mangroves and salt parson. we still have a chance to do that in a way that will actually rebuild our oceans and, and bring that life. i think sandra costume has set up

a foundation. cold oceans 2050, and it's a mis to restore ocean habits. she and other ocean conservation advocates believe the salt list. disrespectful exploitation of marine life needs to end most these eagles that's we must make a clear change, of course, towards marine protection and away from expectations. also, it goes without saying we use resources from the sea. we need them, but it has to be 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 a 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 are still unacquainted with the depths. we're only just beginning to understand what

goes on deep but of the surface and the significance, these processes have an i phone lines. the energy transition must take place. climate change must be stopped, but is commercial mining and 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, the 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 is already knew that the harvesting of the c bed was just about unstoppable. it's barbara showing dot com. i believe it will come at some point we want development. we want to peruse. we want a high standard of living. and i think 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. i'm trying to tap into this trasha here. and then we have if ask your a few minutes 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 on circle. yeah, that's indeed

a big only that touch base because because they're tough present lessons a is this one's, these are, those are the trade offs that we actually have to make as a society or cd go. is it worth it to us to destroy our great, sustainable systems you want to indulge and this continues long term damage that goes way beyond our generation? or is it worth it to us to rec, so i think because we're talking about huge areas of st bedroom by doing nothing. but if we just continue on with our consumption of these metals and don't achieve a sustainable cyclical economy, which we will have completely destroyed, bt areas like the entire body and clipper consumer to come up with an 50 to a 100 years since we're not the i'm complex as to kind of name me talking about an area that's 30058000 kilometers much i can to give you the size of your best size and then we have destroyed nations. of course, we all need to keep that in mind. tom. i suppose one thing i thought that my fault and the,

to the point, strong opinions, clear position, international perspective in 20244000000000 to have the opportunity to vote with many voters turning to populous and national as supremacy break with mainstream politics. democracy at risk fund down to the to the point in it is on d, w,

the dw, sure. on fix, on the inside every day, the world caution. i used to work for free time, like because we can take the different w call in the world, unpack pulse of your info is and all the input the w story. now on to the we are all set and we're watching closely. we all seem to bring you the story behind the news. we're old about unbiased information for 3 months. done

the . is it the, the, the news line from the european union leaders agrees of open membership, talks with ukraine reaching in brussels. the verge was taken despite hunger as promised 13, by all the plot tribes present, the landscape has a decision as a victory for ukraine and for you are also on the program. funding that pro 10 years is his. and if you press conference in moscow to tell the world that russian will persist with its war and you cry on police in germany and the nav events

arrest full, a managed members of her mouth, some suspicion of.
