in biology, we are now seeing the own people to molecular biology, but then you integrate the information into some sort of larger picture picture. you might have some sort of system and every kind of mode of thought you might focus in on these individual elements or you might try to put it together in this big picture. and it wouldn't hurt to think about what's going on in the world today. so let's just take a physics example, a simple physics example. suppose i threw a ball and went to figure out where the ball ends. i'm not going to think of the ball in terms of its atomic structure. absolutely not going to worry about the court and electrons inside you going to think of it as a ball and now works. and that worked fine and that's the way physics works. you're doing it without even knowing it. i mean, he just figured out what would happen if he threw a ball of the measurements made at the time would never be able to distinguish the fact that he was a ball from the fact there's atomic structure. it's completely irrelevant. even now when we know about the underlying structure, we don't us

i decided to study marine biology. we have eliminated 90% of large fish of the ocean. this is why i decided to become a conservation biologist. we conducted an exploration, and we went down to 30 meters and we were told to wait. we were breathing as softly as possible, and after 10 minutes, we could see all these hammerhead sharks coming from the deep. it was like a tide of sharks a swimming above our heads. right now, 1% of the ocean is protected. scientists recommend that a least 20% should be protected. it is going to be a long fight, and not everybody wants to listen. these are green turtles that were there and reading. they are endangered because people have killed them for the meat and eggs. the populations of tuna, sharks have been so depleted. fishermen come to the national parks to try to catch the last big one. the motion right now is like a bank account where everybody withdraws that nobody makes a deposit. at one point, there will be no money left in the account. it is such a beautiful experience. it is trying to the imagine what these animals are feeling.

not much else is known about their biology or their numbers.hat we do know is that demand for them is outpacing supply. in chinese medicine, concoctions using sea horses are common for treating a variety of ailments, but they are especially prized as a sort of natural viagra for men. >> in hong kong, the most valuable sea horses by weight in the dry trade for medicine are more valuable than silver. >> reporter: in an effort to get sea horse numbers back up, todd gardner works on breeding sea horses in captivity in long island, new york. but note to miss kardashian, sea horses aren't easy to feed. or keep alive in a tank. >> these are giving birth to probably around, between 100 and 200 babies at a time. and there is always some mortality on a really great run. we'll get about 85% surviving. and sometimes they are born prematurely and there is 100% mortality. >> reporter: one way to keep populations afloat is adopting guidelines that prevent babies from being sold. another is to protect the pregnant ones. and in sea horses, unlike in any other a

so i decided to study marine biology. we have eliminated 90% of the large fish of the ocean. i wanted to find solutions. this is why i decided to become conservation biologist. at a national park in costa rica, we conducted an investigation and were down 30 meters and we were told to wait. and after 10 minutes, we could see all these hammerhead sharks coming from the deep. it was like a tide of sharks swimming above our heads. one percent of the oths is protected and recommend that 20% should be protected. it's going to be a long fight. and not everybody wants to listen. this is 300 miles off the coast. they were there breeding. these turtles are in danger because people have killed them for their meat and for their eggs. this seal was caught illegally. the populations of tuna and sharks and large species have been so depleted throughout the pacific ocean that fishermen try to catch the last big one. the ocean right now is like a bank account where nobody makes a deposit. at one point, there is no money left in the account. it is such a beautiful, peaceful experience. this is
