it took 3 trips actually before we got to the sea. and all over at the edges of the dunes and sometimes even out in the middle of the dunes where you get into a deep hole, you will find a broken ceramic ojalla, you will find a sea shell that somebody carried in there, you will pick up the shell going what were you doing out here, why were you walking in this place, were you seeing it the same way i'm seeing it? were you floating like a ghost or were you trudging and swimming and dragging yourself? what were you doing out here? on the last trip out, we did a lot of night walking. and we walked barefoot for the most part because it's much easier than walking in boots and it's just nice to walk barefoot for days and days at a time. on that trip in particular there were a lot of sidewinders out in the dunes which made for an interesting element because the previous trip there had been snakes but not so many. you would wake up in the morning and there would be these elegant sidewinder tracks everywhere. the guy who dropped us off has the pr

norse have a bond with the sea unbroken for centuries. my grandfather used to build one. he was one of the best ship builders out there everyone in my family is connected to the sea they were the captain. work of is a native of got island one that he calls the homeland of captains so we traveled to . a four hour boat journey to an island only excesses. well during the summer months today it's inhabited by about four hundred to morris descendants of the very first settlers here we discovered that the so-called traditional poem or way of life is certainly not just something out of a history book. constructed wooden boats using old techniques a lot of novel uses a car bus a coastal kind of boat it's very stable on the scene it rises and falls smoothly with the waves. making their own fish nets. raiding the ropes used for making those fish nets or catching their own fish but i've been fishing for a long time now this year i caught a big fish this big and living in uniquely two more houses the houses in this village are very well preserved dati

the way of life is timeless as the sea it's. we are now in. the first russian fleet now the creators of the russian fleet are the more people the people who have very close relations with the sea and they are the first russian settlers on the white sea coast now they were primarily fisherman hunters and sea traders in fact they created very strong trading links with northern norway to the point that a pigeon language was created between the two of them now the us have also played an important role in russian history because it's a thanks to them that russia was able to keep its northern borders unchanged now today the people who call themselves uphold very strong and unique traditions so we dug a little deeper and we had a first hand taste of the traditions and the way of life of the mars take a look they were one of the first conquerors of the northern waters fisherman. not so many fish it's off season now salmond is a northern fish it comes to reverse was boring ship builders sea captains the boomers have a bond with the sea unbroken for cent

later on this afternoon, we'll see the sea breeze picking up. but notice we're not seeing it out there this morning. 75 degrees in san jose, south wind at 6. some of the hilltops out by the curry fire, east of mt. diablo, starting off the morning in the mid-80s. as we go hour by hour with your forecast, 70s across the board for most of the sea-level locations around the bay area. lunchtime, already well into the 90s inland. a hot start to the day. but, yes, the sea breeze starting to cool off san francisco and the coast by the evening today, and then the rest of the bay area come tomorrow. a look at those cooler changes in your forecast in a few minutes. bret? >> thanks a lot, rob. the record heat has firefighters struggling to put out a wildfire in the east bay this morning. that blaze is burning at mt. diablo state park. so far, it is at least 50% contained. nbc bay area's christie smith is live this morning with the latest on the overnight efforts, and let's hope in those cooler temperatures they were able to make a little progress overnight.

that shows the actual sea level record. in the pay delta, it's not just sea level rises but the fact that we have fresh water floods. this is the level that ice street water gauge in sacramento. darn this thing. okay. those are tides. mostly a summer period, but these are floods so you can see, you know the water levels get up to nine meters there. there's a book called, conquering the inner sea which is a history of levies in sacramento valley and trying to contain the water. the fact is, this sort of thing could potentially get more frequent and potentially higher. i don't want to sound like the national inquirer here and when you count, you take one of these climate models and look at exceedings and this is open coast and now we took an hourly record and counted the number of times in our simulation where we included tides and elnonos, in a moderate this is 30 centimeters over the hundred year period. not three feet about. little more than one foot. these are exceeding above a level that happens less than once a year and

. >>> clouds pushing inland more so today than yesterday and the sea breeze cranked up big time. temperatures inland will come down. low to mid-80s instead of upper 80s and low 90s. by the coast doesn't matter. 50s, 60s right at 70 for santa cruz. here's sal. >>> good morning. traffic is moving well on 80 westbound coming out to have the macarthur maze. 880 north and southbound. that traffic looks good. now back to the desk. >>> homicide investigators interviewed a 13-year-old boy overnight after his brother [ audio problems ] -- jade hernandez is at the oakland police station this morning with the very latest on the investigation. good morning, jade. >> reporter: good morning. we are live at headquarters this morning where police wrapped up talking with that 13- year-old. we were live in oakland this morning. the young boy that you see wearing a white hoody in this footage is the victim's brother. we watched him leave the police department last night. oakland homicide investigators questioned the 13-year-old and then released him into the custody of his parents. we know the broth

there's a bridge between areas of the port that's only a few feet above sea level. obviously that bridge will not be functional for much longer into the future. so we are in a mode of looking at prevention but we are also looking at adaptation. because we have no choice. we have to be doing both at the same time. we also, i think, need to be looking not only at the quantity of supplies of things but also of quality when it comes to our water supply the aqua duct that supplies southern california, the state water project owned aqua duct is also vulnerable to small levels of -- small amounts of sea level rise which could breach the levies in the san francisco sacramento bay delta region. so we are intimately tied to and connected to that overall city. our plan is simply to work with everybody we can find, every partner we can find, to try to find ways to address these issues, to help with funding and to make sure that we are aware of the science to be doing some proactive planning on our own system, and of course to be supporting legislation that will lead to the kinds

the la area. those plants are located approximately 20 feet above mean sea level. the projections for sea level rise in the last itcc report ranged from about 9 to somewhere upward of 25. latest studies are indicating that the upper numbers are perhaps too conservative. so you can see the implications for the viability of those plants if we don't look at substantial modification. and again the science is increasingly telling us that when sea level rises, it doesn't just rise tiny little amounts year by year over a long period of time. it's very likely that it will be much more dramatic changes, as seen at the polar ice caps. we have a number of natural gas burning stations also on the coast. these stations provide upwards of 40 percent of the total electricity supply of the city and they are also at about 20 feet above mean sea level. these power plants can be replaced in terms of the amount of energy that they generate, but they are essential to the operation of the grid because of their location. they keep supplies flowing through the power lines in the city. so,

plus artes close up team takes to the high seas. now on a four hour journey by an island that's accessible during the summer months on this i'm visiting a village obligated by the more people the more meaning well it's the exploring the lives the want people to distance and their culture last. before we get to those stories one of the suspected organizers of the moscow metro bombings in which forty people died has been killed in a shootout with russian security forces four other alleged militants were also shot dead during the special operation in russia's southern republic of dagestan artie's sean thomas reports from one of the metro stations hit by the deadly blast in march . officials are telling us that the mouth i'll leave you has been killed in an operation in the southern republic of dagestan along with four others now this is important because he has been wanted on the federal and international most wanted list for more than two hears he's also thought to have ties to mary i'm sure if about who is one of the two suicide bombe

the tide goes out. so what we're talking about are trends in mean sea level. i prefer to use the term climate change to global warming when we're talking about this phenomenon we're dealing with because overall while the earth's atmosphere will be getting warmer, some places will be getting hotter, others will be getting cooler and the climate will become much more erratic. some years the bay area may go through extended droughts. other years we may get unusually heavy rainfall. and it's during these storms that we'll face the most serious problems because when rainfall runs off the hill sides into the bay and that water piles up on top of a high tide and that high tide is on top of sea level rise, and the winds push all that water across the bay, so that it acts as a dam to the additional water that's running off from the hills, that's when we'll see extensive damage and we will see it far more often. now, in addition to sea level rise, the climate change is expected to result to more precipitation in the sierra nevada falling as rain, less as snow and an earl

and climate change and yet clearly with the arctic melting as rapidly as it is this is opening up the sea lanes and the area for exploration by these and exploitation by these oil companies to find a bit ironic that apparently the same people who say there is no such thing as climate change or global warming are far better curing arms to fight the race in the arctic because in fact there is quite a rampant global warming climate change. yeah i mean especially the northwest passage and the barents sea the year to year ice is decreased significantly. i've read studies of all university in canada had a study earlier this year that surveyed one hundred twenty five global shipping companies only eleven of those companies so that they had any interest in really trying to use the arctic region for global shipping lanes just because the insurance is so high it's very expensive to try to strengthen the whole ship so as far as shipping goes we're still a ways off a lot more else ice is enough to melt before before that happens as far as oil exploration there's an estimated ninety billion barrels of

you're going to see the temperatures climbing at lunchtime. no sign of a sea breeze this morning and that's going to tell the story as we go through the day. low 90s inland around lunchtime. near 100 degrees today in fairful. our first space the air day today. laura has more on what you should not be doing on a daylight today. >> what does it means for you? for starters, forget about barbecuing tonight, avoid using aerosol cleaners, paints and hairspray. there's no free transit today and a wood burning ban in place. >>> the bay area could lose another high profile murder case. the chauncey bailey murder trying trial may be moved to a new city. christie smith is live now in oakland with more on the argument for and against the move. christy. >> good morning. the issue here is whether this trial should be moved out of alameda county altogether. can the accused killers get a fair trial here, given all the intense media publicity surrounding the killing of journalist chauncey bailey? consider this, that this hearing has been postponed at least four times and the c

convention the law of the sea as well which state united states is not a signatory to it it states that every nation owns essentially owns the floor bed about two hundred fifty miles off shore if they can prove that the continental shelf goes further out out than the further out than the two hundred fifty miles they can claim of three hundred fifty miles so the russians are busily. trying to to map the ocean floor to to claim the extra three hundred fifty miles and united states and canada are just getting started there's a lot of joint exploration going on and i think out of the have a few actually border disputes in the far north over the continental shelf all right u.s. get conceived to go to war with canada well that would be at another good idea let's move on to afghanistan president cares i call the you us private military contractors quote terrorists by night your thoughts will karzai really send these guys packing by the end of the air i don't think so i think there'll be some agreement reached for i mean for all the black waters and all the small you know companies that do part

ukrainian activists are asking russia to allow out of the black sea fleet ships to be sunk to create artificial reefs in the crimea they say this will help protect the region's ecosystems and minimize the effects of pollution while the fleet commander is considering the suggestion which has been approved by local authorities. professional diver alexei he has been exploring the depths of the black sea in ukraine's crimea for more than three decades he says the underwater world here is absolutely unique from a site. a difficult one to view but he's concerned about the danger that every year is getting worse to peak two or season brings large scale pollution to young to bay on the water fails to clean itself every year we see fewer fish caught in this part of the black sea and i believe you will to blaze ecosystem is in grave danger alexey has considered many different solutions to the problem but his friend a deputy in the city council came up with a simple yet hopefully highly effective idea so. we will ask the russian black sea fleet stations here to give us several of the rule ships

now you're a captain you've been on the high seas for quite a number of years so let's talk about the ocean ecosystem here a new study suggests that the oceans of last forty percent of their final plankton in the past century talk a little bit about what impact this will have on marine life kind of the oceans as you say if the oceans die we die talk a little bit about the final plankton we have lost about forty percent of the final plankton ninety percent of the large fishes the coral reef systems are deeply in trouble and will not survive probably for more than another two decades the situation the ocean is extremely dire and the fact is that human civilization our very existence depends upon a healthy ocean if the oceans die than when we die it's as simple as that with the plankton although the reduced japan and norway are said you know large drag trawlers to go down to antarctica to pull in plankton to make a protein meal for livestock and they're pulling it out by the hundreds of thousands of tons without any environmental impact as to what the what the consequences will be from r
