space age technology is g an a creaturem low thehe animals appear to be a powerful ie lie in the battle against climate change. jonathan vigliotti has the story. >> reporter: if you drained monterey bay, you would see a cass m the size of the grand canyon. it's here that scientists just discovered a key to how the oceans keep carbon out of our atmosphere. >> the animals less than 10 centimeters in size are playing big floels how things function in our ocean. there's the laser housing here -- >> connie is the engineer who built and deployed this camera

and laser scanning system. it was just used to look inside a creature that has puzzled and amazed scientists for decades. >> three, two, one. >> her team attached that system to a motor that dove. >> what are they? >> what's amazing about these animals is their ability to create complex structures, completely out of mucous that they secret. >> reporter: the camera gave them these images of the tiny creature at the center of a sometimes three foot diameter web of constructed mucous. >> three feet of snot. >> some people say snot palate. >> it's a snot -- >> i think palace is better than house. >> you want me to turn more east

bridge? >> reporter: it's only when they applied the scanning device that they were able to explore the interior of the palaces. that's when they discovered the creature's vital role. >> they serve to filter particles and food from the water around them. the particles are essentially made up of carbon. they stay confined or trapped within the mu cuss structures. the animals will actually baep these structures, swim away, and build new ones. right there. >> as the larvations swim away, the carbon stays draft for the marine food cycle and out of the earth's atmosphere. >> they f from0 up to 80 liters an hour. oi >> reporter: 80 liters an hour.

>> per hour. >> reporter: since carbon in our atmosphere attraction heat scientists say anything that helps keep it sequestered in the ocean is a huge ally in o for d developments that could be inspirational for new engineering technologies. and so this is where i'm hoping the research will go. >> how possible is it for man and woman to mimic what the animal does? >> it's a great question. i wish i knew the answer. >> if we could somehow trap into that it knows and does, we could eliminate carbon permanently. >> perhaps. it's hard to say at this point. >> what's easier to say is that since larvations have been found in every ocean of the world, they may a huge role in keeping

life sustainable for us back on land. >> they're amazing engineers. >> they are amazing engineers. >> reporter: jonathan vigliotti, monterey bay, keechl. >> the nba playoffs contine tonight in the so-called bubble in orlando. the league and many of its players have been using the famous to highlight their support for the black lives matter movement. outside the bubble there's another team using hoops to press for certainly change. here's lee cowan. >> reporter: venice beach basketball courts are a haven for pickup ballers. players come from everywhere to shoot the venice ball. until kooefd shut it all down. that sent sparks flying for one player who had suddenly lost his favorite outlet. >> thin line between being safe and sane. as long as the game never stops, that's the way we connect. eporte he goes by niko

top to bottom. this is one of the artists making the trek. that's him working on a painting on the roof. this is his artwork, too. >> it was just amazing to see how many people from like every ethnicity, every race, it was just phenomenal. >> reporter: he, too, was targeted by police, who mistook him for someone else when he was painting a mural a few years ago. that makes this personal. >> i was like george floyd face down and there was eight cops with guns drawn to me. >> reporter: the youngest among us are most inspired, like this 11-year-old. he made his own blm bucket. >> it shows that everybody can speak up, even if you're a a g, ill helpslot. tow naismith hopes it's a icht reminder that victory comes when

everyone on the team is shooting for the same goal. >> you see the back of the bus says vote. this is a beautiful ha has a lot when you humble yourself under the mighty hand of god, in due time he will exalt you. hi, i'm joel osteen. i'm excited about being with you every week. i hope you'll tune in. you'll be inspired, you'll be encouraged. i'm looking forward to seeing you right here. you are fully loaded and completely equipped for the race that's been
