van thillo: we have whale recording system, all our dive setups to dive on coral reefs. studio of the sea is on mir, which is a traveling video studio that makes educational film. and we can sail everywhere, so it's a perfect platform to study the ocean. dustan: corals, what we think of as stony corals that build reefs, are actually a symbiosis of the animal and a microalgae that lives in its tissues. the animal captures food from the ocean, like plankton, and that supplies nitrogen and phosphorous nutrients. the algae, like a plant, carries out photosynthesis and utilizes those nutrients. when the water gets too hot, the algae are producing so much oxygen because their rate of photosynthesis increases with temperature, that the oxygen they produce is sort of toxic, there's too much, so they become expelled. if the water gets hotter still, the coral turns white. it's bleached, lost its algae, and the coral may die. so the plants see it as a place to live, and they just begin to grow there. if we don't have fish to eat them and to eat the algae, then it's like weeds overg

, yesterday and they cleared a safety zone and stayed with the whale until it got back to see safely. >>> it's 4:46 and let's get a check of the forecast. >>> cooler across the bay area and you will notice that difference. some clouds and light scattered showers and not everyone will see it, it's hit or miss and we will see it on futurecast in a minute with our salesforce tower camera looking north at the golden gate and temperatures are in the 30s and 40s. a chillier start. mid-40s in rmore, frcisco, upper 40s and mid- 40s in san jose with 37 degrees and checking the wind, 13-mile per hour wind in napa, 22 in fairfield and westerly wind in oakland, at 14 and 12 at half moon bay out of the west. a cooler start to the work week with light scattered showers today and we will keep unsettled weather through tuesday and wednesday with an isolated storm tomorrow and light showers into your wednesday. through the end of the week, drier and sunnier later in the week. the cold upper-level low will bring this unsettled weather with cooler temperatures and scattered showers. on futurecast, as we

through for whales arises if you take those creatures out of the system by overfishing for example then you also change the mineral nutrient cycles. then ended. that also has a direct impact on phytoplankton because they need mineral nutrients to grow to vioxx and there was our. town as plankton research changed over time. to our hearts more investment from land we used to base our approach to the oceans and what we knew about land. go systems. at 1st scientists focus primarily on how mineral nutrients are distributed in the ocean and how phytoplankton respond to these nutrients. that's. gets in but we are now discovering that the many interactions among the plankton might be more important. then that's the direction research is now going in. looking at the interactions which species occur together how they are distributed and that kind of thing. when you got to invest you cannot spend the data shows that these interactions are very important that one of the most important involves predation. grazing pressure from plankton. if we look at these types of interactions in detail then of cou

and speaking of whales if you used a lamp. chances are that that would contain whale oil also a byproduct of wheels again, the north has an advantage the north had a long established. playing fleet which went around the world and harvested whales. now since i'm with the national museum of civil war medicine, i have to mention that animals also provided some essential medical supplies and perhaps the most famous would be sutures sutures of what you stitch up wounds. now the most favored suture of the civil war was this. this is silk thread which comes some silk worms. silk thread is an excellent material to suit your wounds. it's so good impact that that it's still used today. but the confederacy had a problem with silk thread and that is at the time of the civil war. it had to be imported from the far east. that's no problem for the north, but it's a big problem for the south because of the union naval blockade. and by the time of the civil war point the confederacy is running out of silk thread they have to come up with the s
