1:15 pm
kind of shabby alongside and that's it from me and, and it was the phenomena of an update for you at the top of the hour, of course. but don't go away. coming up, adult film looks at deep sea greed and how the ocean floor is now being explored to don't miss that. you're watching the news on gab office and barely thank you very much. the name is the calls back. said loud. thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold the bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. that's what it being nosy bay. like. good everyone to kings to check out the award winning called call. don't call back the,
1:16 pm
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 and monitoring its deployments . because forces, 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 farm. this is exactly what you
1:17 pm
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 at all costs. it's the last cost of the planet that humans have yet to exploit for resources or the oceans in danger. the sale has appeared on the horizon, the
1:18 pm
green pieces rainbow warrior was approaching the norman dennis, the, the scientists beside the unnerved, everyone was wondering what was happened, the information of this happening much except to say that they make an action. so a pretty it's is for the movies and smashed designs because we don't know piece are the only thing green piece has emphasize you this such a peaceful console's but peaceful protests. no help. and we can only hope that's what's going on. um opens. this is cynthia, obviously waiting on the target. got that so sure. are you. i'm just kind of soon as we moved away a little bit and st waste away. god,
1:19 pm
we don't know what they're doing. bussey to him. the con, lighting thing is happening on the starboard sideboard, and unfortunately, we can't see it. we can trust the green peace activists found and documented their actions themselves. they approached the industrial ship, unpainted 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 paste, considered as the commercial exploitation of the deep sea to be a fatal mistake. the
1:20 pm
savannah, i'm absolute as for protection on some demon, 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 for 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 till 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 the midland shaft. that sort of them of the this is for knocking these in does, it's already been proven that c o 2 has been found and the sentiments deposited on the tapes you for many thousands of years switched off. that means carbon that originally came from the atmosphere. apple spanish pumped to the safe, we disturb and stir up the set of miles to bend. there is definitely
1:21 pm
a risk that the seo to this carbon that is currently sequestered down there. a demo could also be released back into the water and ultimately into the atmosphere, apple c and off the game. that green piece is rainbow, while we attract the newman to energy for weeks with the amos producing images to generate support on the system of unimportant opinion. the boy, let's make the point right now. yeah, the all, we want to make sure the oceans continue to have the possibility in the next year in the next millennium to be climate resilient. just sensing something they can be if we start digging and destroying the deep sea floor problem, success driven ones not just taking out rocks or, and metals and then, but also the biology, the life forms and destroying their habitat. because all of this is involved in the climate, stability of our oceans and our planet on sundays a
1:22 pm
meeting was held in the conference room on the islands. pride's the occasion green pasted, issued an invitation to a worldwide international video conference. i use the n g, a subjective 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 under 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 side or the influence that's outraged to the scientists. they said they would continue to carry out neutral research in order to ultimately provide data on the findings,
1:23 pm
the to rule. so used by environmental protection organizations and then and so the, some of the research has showed understanding for the protest 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 the 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. i says, and what the progress deciding that isn't natural stuff is albany that's will be done by the policy makers will have to develop the regulations easy, very triggered off. what we're trying to do here is record what potentially happen if a device like that, which a drive around on the see feel i may have is located
1:24 pm
in the middle of the caribbean. see the islands 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. it has its headquarters here, founded in 1994 by the united nations. it's the overarching body that decides what happens when nice the waves. so all that i say contract is which are a combination of different entities, some governments, some private sector, some state research organizations, all of them having view, eventually the sustainable explanation of deep sea mineral results, as i say,
1:25 pm
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. and most of the member states that make the decision that's currently a $167.00 countries, including gemini, they develop the guidelines known as the mining coach, according to which deep sea mining would be possible. we have a very unique opportunity here that actually has never been done before, which is that we have a whole new industry that will proceed only when the regulations have 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, to, to stop that things from happening or to ensure that good things happen. yeah,
1:26 pm
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 its scenario. the science of europe, mullins, 2000000000 towns of manganese, no jewels,
1:27 pm
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, 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, but it says my god cannot and having taught yes, the one we see here is the manganese natural habitats next to 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 what sickness?
1:28 pm
the phone i 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 of 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.
1:29 pm
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 regarding 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 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 then slowly builds up around the core
1:30 pm
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. just don't even 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 us so exactly because we need those resources loops up because the
1:31 pm
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 as sustainable then environment to friend rate. i 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 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.
1:32 pm
working with the robot pilots. the assurance drifting by didn't arouse 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 um, nothings happening as of that bundle, pricing. no, i mean we will just press the different try to try to set it in. yes, you can. i mean the video can try to have internet tanya, t. r, i on the cnn, the name,
1:33 pm
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 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
1:34 pm
focus his i'mma. that'd be a friend. 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. so you had 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. yes. it was a special moment for the of the scientists to they were thrilled to hold these life forms from the depths close to them. it's difficult to world that's the
1:35 pm
tanya shot man knows that human as he barely has a clue about what lives deep below the waves bulls 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 shed hotman had broached a previously unknown species up on deck. honestly, i'm not sure if this is
1:36 pm
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 is a new species we've just discovered. or if it's only one still unfamiliar to me, it's possible that this one on the left and 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 pried the far away on the islands to escape that day in the atlantic. the conservationists of land to now was celebrating this small success the in summer during the night time sea tassels come on shore to lay their eggs. they usually begin reproducing at the age of 20. that's when the females find their way
1:37 pm
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 teen from land 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 that 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 at the small nest, 3 baby tassels are in the jing taking their way out of this on the
1:38 pm
it's a time of joy and satisfaction for on a on to teen, whether it's happening, the filters that patches. so you can see the baby so so now we are going to fast to see how long we have for that wait message and counted precise records, the capt. and then they, given the little head starts the off spring, a carefully carried to close to the sea,
1:39 pm
so they went full prey to anything or any one on the beach. yeah, thank you. yes . and there was a good luck 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 the day, the really heavy it's always a more show. and also
1:40 pm
a moment we will put that in 15 percent to use the veto. that is really good to me, the i so these you but the red and the 20 the but i'm a says there is a much more to be done to improve the condition of the oceans. the stripping ascend from so many beaches is also affected. marine life just of the case, food sources for fish have dwindles and the rest he will put you in a tease, disposed of. the fishes catch less and less and need to go as a father out. with honor is proud of the fact that fishing here is
1:41 pm
sustainable. it's all about people's individual needs growth as an industrial bottom trolling and hope to the lines that extend for columbus has this no bike chinese done this boats takes in its catch of the day. a chain of this size is enough to feed several families. fishing like this doesn't comm ocean bio diversity, 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
1:42 pm
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 in subsidies fuel this home full time 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 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 o, sorry cesar role but powerless. there are a few ways to monitor the waters and even if there are countries have no authority
1:43 pm
outside of that right and territorial voices, queen peace was monitoring the indian ocean for months in the summer of 2021. they were that the documents of the fishing and the legal fishing with the home of type nets 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 that's being deployed and focused on these are known as well. guns, very thin, barely perceptible filaments of often made of night long 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 net their targets and bases such as to know or success. shap, fish, the simply star turtles. cellphones, wealth sharks raised and many, many other animals that are not on their list at all. and ultimately only go
1:44 pm
overboard as unwanted by cat and fishing was one of interest by fung blocking the this is the next. as 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, illegal fishing is a fishing and disrupt 2 fishing practices. continue to swift, an ocean life and know that the, let's find the boot and the other ones are going to set the latest figures from the u. n. food and 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
1:45 pm
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 fish's mom, the a study has shown that college has almost disappeared and tearing this thread. the staple catches of the baltic has been over fished for years. as a result,
1:46 pm
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,
1:47 pm
i'll be up the hill that kind of high volume is also fixed, 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 loving as smooth as a meal. it is especially the 1st so in the end and it goes healings. we also use a beeping device by the way, to ward off porpoises. but you can also hear it sounds like it's quite soft now. yes. there's one here and one at the end of and they work off each other
1:48 pm
. 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 miles have committed themselves to fishing sustainably and taking only as much as they need to and anything. nevertheless, they still struggle with you regulations is to do nothing except lots of 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? i just don't get it and we have gloves on the fish. i have nothing if there's a light this law applies to facing was crawler smith name. it says we have to take everything we catch hold on getting rid of it. so it's counted towards the quota because they're supposedly dead any way. and that's the basis for this law. yeah. if we don't get it, we're supposed to take it this, but we won't be minimal because why should i kill it? i'm going to enter it. honestly, it's such a nonsense, at least for odd sites on the full the problem with this law is that wishing with a trawler is acquainted with gomez, i like like like is it?
1:49 pm
that's complete idiots. the in my eyes pulling up roots and as one for the few fish, we catch that are too small, like this one here, and we just don't take them yet at all. next, we refused to do so as let me it was divided on. so we're trying to avoid knitting smaller feet. how about using larger matches and much, much lights are mesh size is 10 percent larger than required. so we bring in good quality, significantly larger, say, and i'll give you the initial thought because our profession is really getting a criminal reputation on his way to me that can't be ranked of it. can you think of it? so that's good news. so now things are about to get bloody industrial trolling lead to this knowledge. international fishing boat so side the baltic fee is taking what the see how to effect sustainable fishing and sending close to the consumer became the maya's molto on the fish from cortez websites. it's not the
1:50 pm
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, quartz aside right away. that's something that looks like. lemme cool. now it's reloading fish for the quote, and there's a new address. lloyd shawna back since the pope's big necessary. but that's where we're about to go to sell macro turban place until 1 pm. and, and it goes very because i've called 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. 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
1:51 pm
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 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 by a sustainable gillmet fishing the meanwhile, large industrial fishing boats with huge nets continue to fish as if there were no issue. the myers have been fishes, the
1:52 pm
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. 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 go out of the could you just have to accept it. we're not a supermarket, then we can only deliver when we catch something, flipping to a suspicious rest. and so 2 is the health of the oceans. this is a session,
1:53 pm
is just one reason why the oceans are being 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 been generous with seaweed for us growing around the world and the restoration of sea grass beds and mangroves 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. i think sandra crystal has set up a foundation. cold oceans 2050, and it's
1:54 pm
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 of these egos 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 unacquainted with the depths. we're only just beginning to understand what goes on deep light, the surface, and the significance these processes have from the i phone lines. the energy
1:55 pm
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 early estate 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
1:56 pm
of 2 evaluation in labs back home. the research is already knew that the harvesting of the sea bed was just about unstoppable. sluggish one 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 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 have, if ask your penis to do it since maybe then people in asia, well of what is 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 trying to print from this or is this one's, these are, those are the trade offs that we actually have to make as
1:57 pm
a society or 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. 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, bt areas, like the entire body and clip are consuming within 50 to a 100 years since we're not the i'm complex. i stood let infinity and we were talking about an area that's 30058000 kilometers much. i can to give you the size of your that's been done, but we've destroyed nations. of course, we already need to keep that in mind. tom. i was wondering, i thought that my fault and the
