much for joining send outlining that. so clearly i can't really take a member of these training and palmer thank you and glory. do thing. i set you up today. it's more well, these are the top of the hour of next on d, w. deep sea green and documentary looking at the environmental impact of exposing results from the ocean floor. i have a good day, and a great weekend advisor inhabitants under listening place of loan in the mediterranean sea mazda and just following up to carry him to us exploring modem, lodge styles, to amy and admitted to amy and jenny. this week on dw, the,

the, in the middle of the pacific ocean, an ambitious expedition, has setups to explore the deep sea going, when no human has ever gone before, where a numerous deposits of minerals night doman. can chew 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 tri should 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 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 and the environmental protection organizations such as green piece one to prevent deep sea mining at all costs. it's the last cost of the planet that humans have yet to exploits for resources or the oceans in danger. the sale has appeared on the horizon, the

green pieces rainbow warrior was approaching the norman dennis, the, the scientists beside 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, it's for the move as soon smashed designs, because we don't know piece are 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 cindy, obviously we're not the target. got that so sure you understand. as soon as we moved away a little bit in the same way, the way go dog,

we don't know what they're doing. bussey to him because a lot of something is happening on the starboard sideboard. and unfortunately, we can't see it. or can trust my the 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 faithful missteps. the

savannah, i'm optional just for pollution on c name, and that's the key. they would be an absolute time 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 reviewing the damage that's taking place down. there is the option off the home to the time they should, including and the long term stop since and often long and which animals and ultimately plans such as the clinton are being affected on in midland shafts homebound of the this is from dr. beasen does, and it's already been proven that c o 2 has been found in the sentiments deposited on the ape see for many thousands of years switched off. that means carbon that originally came from the atmosphere at optimal spanish come to the safe, we 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 piece is rainbow worry, attracts the newman to energy for weeks with the a is 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 resilience adjustments in 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 island. pride's the occasion green pasted issued an invitation to a worldwide international video conference. i use the n g. a subjective was to prevent possible deep sea mining. it reported on its concerns giving arguments. why disrupting the depths must be stopped at any cost before it really gets under way. before we can even say they also took a slide to 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 side of the world and then that's how raged 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 the, 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. 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 why do progress deciding that isn't natural stuff is auburn is not to be done by the policy may, cuz we'll have to develop the regulations, easy, very triggered off what we're trying to do here is record what potentially happened if a device like that which a 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 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. so my government's some uh, private sector, some uh, uh, state research organizations. all of them uh, 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 extensive consultation. and the 2nd is that we act on the basis of consensus, the 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 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 where everybody has an opportunity to have to 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 tool. when in the end the, the island pride was sent out to work in the carry in k pretend. so it's an area of the science, if you're more than so 2000000000 towns 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 attorney as well as 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 mangan. these natural habitats next to the tracts up atanya, where the disturb settlement has already settled on. it's completely covered the manganese nodules and the 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 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 that took minneapolis the, the research is eager to see what have been bro. tom, 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 as because salt water is very corrosive to the electrical components within will download the data and take a look at something 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 and cobalt. and then 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 of the ship, tests were being carried out in the bar 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. yep. on the human history mean start to exploit and see the results. i'm that generally, 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 consumer

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 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 will decide 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 shrimp drifting by didn't to rouse much interest, fast teaching list of mid t as in david. and 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, in the morning. people take them to name and, and suck them up. just like a vacuum cleaner, owns and nothing's happening over the phone. no, i mean we will just dress those if we try to try to suck it in. yes, you can empty the video, you can try to have internet tanya hotel right on the cnn. the name,

the, the robot found some other animals on shot to see that they that 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 laid 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

to focus his i'mma. 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 monique, and i sent you to tomorrow morning to you and con, is it still alive? me? no, i don't think they can handle the pressure difference with especially the temperature difference of over 20 degrees. 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 man knows that human as he barely has a clue about what lives deep 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 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 shot man 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 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 nips in the deep sea or i just don't know it yet. of the day, it was a time of wonder and joy opposed the island to pride the far away on the islands to escape that day in the atlantic. the conservationists of land to now with 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 ro next the if and lucky they'll find sand to dig a hole for the next. the, the change from land to net is spending every night for 3 weeks. they find the nests, take them up and take them to the protected nursery. there are too many nest part. it says 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 habitats. there were a moments of one to every night. now at this moment, es 3 baby tassels are in the jing taking their way out of the sun.

it's the time of joy and satisfaction for anna untie, teen or whether it's happening, the surface that had used so you can see the baby so 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 to 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, 70 yes . and there was the the, the, the without the dedication of conservation is like on, on touching 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 host the deck in 15 percent to use the veto. that is really good to me, the i so this you but the, the stress and the quantity the but i'm a says there is much more to be done to improve the condition of the oceans. stripping ascend 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 honor is proud of the fact that fishing here is

sustainable it's own about people's individual needs growth as an industrial bottom trolling. and hoax. 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. once the 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 this, 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 is that right?

and territorial lucia's queen piece was monitoring the indian ocean for months in the summer of 2021. they with that to documents as a fishing and illegal fishing with the multiplex and on the phone. 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 nets being deployed and focused on these are known as well. guns very thin, barely perceptible filaments, often made of nylon visual as more 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 ships, fish. the simply star turtles, cellphones with wealth sharks raised and many, many other animals that are not on their list at all. and ultimately only go

overboard as unwanted bycatch. and vision was one of inch by fung blocking the this is the next is in 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. and yeah. or illegal fishing and the fishing and destructive 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 a study has shown that college has almost disappeared and tearing this throughout the staple catches of the baltic has been of a 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. 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 fisheries trade association,

i'll be up the hill that kind of high volume is also fished college 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. that's good. both 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 lovely, not as smooth as an heal. 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. you can also hear it sounds like it's quite soft to now. yes. there's ones here and one at the

end of end they work off each other. i can show you that there's got to be one every 200 meters and they scare off the 4 percent. 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 then the thing now for the last they still struggle with you regulations is to do nothing except on those over 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 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 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 on the full. the problem with this law is the wishing with a trawler is acquainted with gomez. i like that. i like is it?

that's complete idiots in my eyes, funding uploads, and other ones 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 long as it was divided on. so we're trying to avoid netting smaller feet. how about using larger matches and much, much bytes are mesh size is 10 percent larger than required. so we bring in good quality, significantly largest the big island because our profession is really getting a criminal reputation. god is already coming, that can't be ranked of it can. i mean if anything could be exciting. i so that's good news. so now things are about to get bloody industrial trolling lead to this knowledge. international fishing boat supplied the baltic fee 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, so unless we officially say comfortable in life, 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 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. that's something that looks like. lemme cool. now it's reloading fish for beforehand there's a new address, lloyd shown back to sleep, thoughts big enough issue, but that's where we're about to go to cell macro turban place until 1 pm. and then it goes the vegas eyes. like, 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. if that's the point, we don't need huge container ships. um or do we have one right now? there's one coming up behind us. they distribute all the junk from around the world, but 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 12 or 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 phishing 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 to the next, we need a macro and to place 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 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 cut. this is suspicious residents, so 2 is the health of the oceans. of the fishing 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, 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 names have an opportunity to expand ocean farming in a way that's for generative with seaweed for us growing around the world and the restoration of sea grass beds and mangroves and salt parsons. 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 crystal has set up a foundation. cold oceans 2050 and it's

a missed to restore ocean habits. she and other ocean conservation advocates believe the solace. 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 see if 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're still on acquainted with the depths. we're only just beginning to understand what goes on deep below the surface and the significance,

these processes have from the 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, 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 is showing dot com. i believe it will come at some point. we want development. we want to prove 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 sam 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 ask if ask your opinions, david, do it on 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. plus the young village got us into a big only bad touch base because because most of the customers is ones, these are, those are the tradeoffs that we actually have to make as a society, or she goes,

it worth it to us to destroy our great, sustainable systems who want to indulge and this continues 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, which we will have completely destroyed each see areas like the entire body and clip are consuming to come up with an 50 to a 100 years. this will not be on complex. i still kind of need me talking about an area that's 30058000 kilometers much. i can to give you the size of your that says and then we have destroyed nations. of course, we already need to keep that in mind. tom. i was going to, i thought that my fault and the

co india coast east coast and the account needs to see growth goes all the time on that. do rice and with extinction because they main street souls is disappearing. environmentalists that fishermen on the policy viable focus raspy. see the eco indian being fussy minutes of d w. but we'll tell you who we are happy that we are back

to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and for the future in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news africa in 90 minutes on the w. the how many platforms can you handle single tenuously without having the feeling that it's just too much you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously?

multitasking these, the modern methods. because if we do too much, we paid it all wrong. we messed things up. risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v. w documentary the this is dw use, and these are our top stories. it is writing ministry says that it has mistakenly till 3 is ready hostages during its grand operation. in the gaza strip against thomas, a group considered a terrorist organization by multiple countries is ready. army spokesman daniel gary said the hostages were killed in friendly fire in a neighborhood of guys, a city israel has approved the delivery of.
