we need to do more of this as well from the sea. s i look at the tragedy unfolding in houston i am so proud of the u.s. navy sending two massive ships, a big deck amphibious carrier, a large landing ship, potentially we can send a hospital ship. when i was commander of southern command before being nato commander i deployed hospital ships routinely throughout the caribbean, latin america, my counterpart in the pacific does the same. this kind of humanitarian work from the sea is part of our ability to leverage the strategy. we need new partners. i would focus this century on india which will be a rising maritime power. we have exercises every year with india, japan and the united states and we need to work within our own military, our marines, coast guard or navy working together within the context i have laid out of international interagency, all of that allows us to interact with international maritime organizations, to work with private sector maritime entities. a small company that uses commercial shipping to measure the ocean's

the pacific sea lanes, the south china sea are essential to do business. e last thing you want to do is give up market share to china, withdraw from asia, and allow them to militarily dominate the sea lanes. history has shown us, the people that control the seas do very well. sharyl: why is the challenges that china has made, so important to the global antonio caprio: because we have this law of the sea, we're 167 countries have ratified, and china is saying we are not bound by that. and if china can claim the south china sea as its internal lake, russia might claim the arctic ocean. india might claim the indian ocean. so then the entire order of the oceans and seas in our planet will break down. every country will assert what it can claim through might, through naval power. and then we'll have wars. scott: so far china has refused to abide by that ruling. the disputes over control of the south china sea, just one of the many issues president trump will be addressing on a his next big overseas trip, which is to five asian nations early next month. coming up

man: reefs are the most wonderful expression of life in the sea. they are this incredible ecosystem that we go visit, and it just blows us away all the time because they are this profusion of life that we just sort of instantly see. narrator: phil dustan is an ecologist and marine biologist who has been monitoring coral reefs since the mid 1970s. dustan: i had the privilege of working with jacques cousteau in the 1970s and 1980s. i worked with him as a scientist that helped make movies about coral reefs, and i worked as principal scientist on the calypso. cousteau was inspirational. he taught us that the oceans are alive. that was the biggest gift of all that he could ever give to humanity as a single human being. alling: i grew up by the sea, and i saiailed as a very yoyoung girl, w would go out on a smala, 12-foot boat and just loved being in the middle of the ocean. narrator: after spending over a decade at sea studying whales, dolphins, and marine life of all kinds, at age 26, gaie alling was invited to take part in a unique experiment. together

the sea's chemistry returns to normal. and wonderful reef life can thrive. dustrial society is churning out c02 on a massive scale, and the gas is being absorbed into sea water around the world, making it all more acidic. today's report warns of major impacts on sea life. this comprehensive study confirms what we've been observing globally, ocean acidification is a problem, acidity is increasing and that's notjust having an impact on the ecology, which we are seeing already, but it will have an impact on us as humans further down the line. take one fish we love to eat: cod. the research shows that baby cod are especially sensitive to more acidic water. it projects that if c02 levels rise unchecked, we should expect only a quarter as many cod in the seas. some species will thrive with the changes to come. the c02 will fertilise seaweed, for instance, but scientists have been researching the tiny creatures that build reefs, like at this coral nursery i dived to in the red sea. they say coral organisms can't stand extra acidity and they warn that unless we cut c
