1
00:00:03,536 --> 00:00:04,636
CHARLIE: Hey
guys, Charlie here.
2
00:00:04,704 --> 00:00:06,074
CHARLIE: You know
my sister Kirby.
3
00:00:06,139 --> 00:00:07,139
KIRBY: Hey, guys!
4
00:00:07,207 --> 00:00:08,267
CHARLIE: Today we
are hanging out...
5
00:00:08,341 --> 00:00:10,541
...underwater in Hawaii,
6
00:00:10,610 --> 00:00:12,710
checking out some coral reefs.
7
00:00:12,779 --> 00:00:16,219
KIRBY: Coral might feel like
rocks and look like plants,
8
00:00:16,282 --> 00:00:18,392
but they're actually animals!
9
00:00:18,451 --> 00:00:21,291
CHARLIE: It's time
for Weird But True!
10
00:00:22,522 --> 00:00:28,632
(theme music plays)
11
00:00:41,674 --> 00:00:44,484
CHARLIE: So we just
like dump the food right?
Like one big dump?
12
00:00:44,544 --> 00:00:46,984
KIRBY: I'm pretty sure it's
more like a pinch and a toss,
13
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:49,547
like sprinkles on
a cupcake, you know?
14
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:51,223
CHARLIE: Yeah.
Hey guys!
15
00:00:51,284 --> 00:00:52,994
You're not gonna
believe what showed up today.
16
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:55,890
KIRBY: What the heck is this?
17
00:00:55,955 --> 00:00:58,425
CASEY: Guys!
I am so glad you're here.
18
00:00:58,491 --> 00:01:00,131
I have a super busy day today.
19
00:01:00,193 --> 00:01:03,533
I have clarinet lessons,
and tutoring sessions
and I'm in a bit of a jam.
20
00:01:03,797 --> 00:01:06,697
CASEY: Patrick just left
for summer camp today and
put me in charge of this,
21
00:01:06,766 --> 00:01:09,836
his coral reef aquarium,
because, you know, I
work at the aquarium.
22
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:12,710
CHARLIE: Wait, don't you
volunteer at the aquarium?
23
00:01:12,772 --> 00:01:14,412
KIRBY: In the gift shop?
24
00:01:14,474 --> 00:01:18,084
CASEY: I've just got a
million things going on today
and I was thinking that it
25
00:01:18,144 --> 00:01:20,584
would be the perfect
project for you guys.
26
00:01:20,647 --> 00:01:22,547
CHARLIE: I mean, we
were gonna spend the day.
27
00:01:22,615 --> 00:01:24,045
CASEY: Perfect!
You know, I gotta run.
28
00:01:24,117 --> 00:01:26,117
I really gotta go,
so um thank you! Bye!
29
00:01:29,689 --> 00:01:31,259
CHARLIE: Two fish tanks!
30
00:01:31,324 --> 00:01:32,994
KIRBY: Pat loves these fish.
31
00:01:33,626 --> 00:01:36,156
CHARLIE: And I guess
that's where he grows
his aquatic plants?
32
00:01:36,229 --> 00:01:37,629
KIRBY: It all looks
kind of complicated.
33
00:01:37,697 --> 00:01:40,397
CHARLIE: Yeah, I'm not even
really sure what coral is.
34
00:01:40,467 --> 00:01:44,197
KIRBY: Me neither, but
we gotta figure out how
to keep this all alive.
35
00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:47,040
CHARLIE: I guess
that means today, we're
unraveling the world of...
36
00:01:50,009 --> 00:01:51,509
BOTH: Coral reefs!
37
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,880
CHARLIE: I mean, how
hard can this really be?
38
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:57,719
KIRBY: You just like
throw the food in.
39
00:01:57,784 --> 00:02:00,494
CHARLIE: Yeah.
The fish swim around, and
the coral just looks pretty.
40
00:02:00,553 --> 00:02:02,323
KIRBY: Pat left a
note, let's check it out.
41
00:02:02,388 --> 00:02:04,288
PATRICK: Casey, important!
42
00:02:04,357 --> 00:02:09,057
Splish, Splash,
Flip, Flop, and Colonel
Archibald Billingsworth
43
00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:11,359
are all friendly. But!
44
00:02:11,431 --> 00:02:14,271
Feed Rainbow and
Dr. Sparkles separately!
45
00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:17,304
They are the damselfish,
just like at the aquarium.
46
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:19,710
With love, Patrick.
47
00:02:20,607 --> 00:02:22,777
KIRBY: What's a damselfish?
48
00:02:22,842 --> 00:02:25,182
CHARLIE: I have
absolutely no idea.
49
00:02:25,245 --> 00:02:26,545
KIRBY: Me neither.
50
00:02:26,613 --> 00:02:28,053
CHARLIE: To the books!
51
00:02:29,349 --> 00:02:32,989
CHARLIE: So this says
you can identify fish
based on the different
52
00:02:33,052 --> 00:02:35,122
shapes of their bodies.
53
00:02:35,188 --> 00:02:36,918
KIRBY: Like the
fins or the tail.
54
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:37,960
CHARLIE: Exactly.
55
00:02:38,024 --> 00:02:40,934
KIRBY: Oh my gosh, this
is just like that show!
56
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:44,734
CHARLIE: The one where
they help people identify
antiques from their attics?
57
00:02:44,797 --> 00:02:46,627
KIRBY: Yeah!
CHARLIE: I love that show!
58
00:02:46,699 --> 00:02:48,699
Let's see what kind of
fish we got in our tank.
59
00:02:50,103 --> 00:02:53,773
CHARLIE: So what can you tell
me about these pieces that
you've brought in today?
60
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,940
KIRBY: Well it's
a series of three
paintings all of fish
61
00:02:58,011 --> 00:03:01,981
from my grandson
Patrick's fish tank.
62
00:03:02,682 --> 00:03:05,052
CHARLIE: Well, I was very
excited when you brought
these to my table.
63
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:09,118
The best way to approach
pieces like this, when you're
trying to identify the fish,
64
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:11,519
is by looking at
different shapes.
65
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:14,758
CHARLIE: So if we start
at the front here you
have a wonderful example
66
00:03:14,827 --> 00:03:16,697
of a terminal mouth.
67
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:24,338
It's paired with a long
continuous dorsal fin,
and a tail that is
68
00:03:24,404 --> 00:03:27,014
very slightly forked.
69
00:03:28,808 --> 00:03:32,808
CHARLIE: Now, I talked
with my colleagues and we
believe that this is a great
70
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:34,509
example of the damselfish.
71
00:03:35,315 --> 00:03:36,715
Let's take a look
at the next one.
72
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:40,221
CHARLIE: This is
an iconic design.
73
00:03:40,286 --> 00:03:46,526
You have a very long
snout, it's paired with
a spiked dorsal fin
74
00:03:48,595 --> 00:03:51,695
and a tail that is
much more truncated.
75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,710
CHARLIE: I'm fairly confident
in saying that this is a
longnose butterflyfish.
76
00:03:59,105 --> 00:04:00,935
KIRBY: Ooo!
How special.
77
00:04:01,674 --> 00:04:04,744
CHARLIE: But the next
one is the one that got
us very excited.
78
00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:07,148
Here we have some whiskers.
79
00:04:07,213 --> 00:04:09,023
These are called barbels.
80
00:04:09,849 --> 00:04:13,519
CHARLIE: They're paired
with two separate dorsal fins,
81
00:04:13,586 --> 00:04:16,956
and a tail that is much
more forked than the others.
82
00:04:18,891 --> 00:04:21,091
CHARLIE: We don't see a
lot of these coming in.
83
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,430
This is a fine
example of a goatfish.
84
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:27,827
And, I'm pleased to
tell you that at auction this
collection of three paintings
85
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:30,200
would get around,
a bagillion dollars.
86
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:33,070
KIRBY: A bagillion dollars!
For these fish?
87
00:04:33,139 --> 00:04:36,279
Oh I must tell Patrick!
Oh I'm so excited!
88
00:04:38,611 --> 00:04:43,281
CHARLIE: I guess the orange
one and the rainbowy one are
goatfish and then the yellow
89
00:04:43,349 --> 00:04:46,919
one and the tiger stripey one,
probably the butterflyfish.
90
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,860
So that means these two
blue guys are the damselfish.
91
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:55,227
KIRBY: So, we just have
to feed them on opposite
sides of the tank.
92
00:04:55,595 --> 00:04:58,025
Come here guys, separate.
93
00:04:58,097 --> 00:04:59,267
Come this way.
94
00:04:59,332 --> 00:05:01,402
I'll give you some food.
95
00:05:01,467 --> 00:05:02,897
Amazing.
96
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:05,139
KIRBY: And sprinkle,
sprinkle, sprinkle.
97
00:05:05,872 --> 00:05:07,612
Sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle.
98
00:05:07,907 --> 00:05:10,077
Boom!
We're crushing
this fish thing.
99
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:14,513
We just feed them, they have
a good time and the coral
just kind of like chills.
100
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:18,894
CHARLIE: And shoot
giant tentacles that
strangle the other coral?
101
00:05:19,185 --> 00:05:20,785
KIRBY: What?
CHARLIE: What the heck?
102
00:05:20,853 --> 00:05:22,163
Look at this thing Kirb!
103
00:05:22,221 --> 00:05:23,791
KIRBY: We need more books!
104
00:05:25,525 --> 00:05:28,325
CHARLIE: So there's nothing
about coral in the plant book.
105
00:05:28,594 --> 00:05:31,064
KIRBY: Yeah, nothing
in geology either.
106
00:05:31,130 --> 00:05:33,200
CHARLIE: Hmm, it's right here.
107
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:37,066
KIRBY: What?
CHARLIE: Yeah, check it out.
Apparently coral is an animal.
108
00:05:38,805 --> 00:05:41,905
CHARLIE (off-screen):
What we think of as coral
is a structure made up of
109
00:05:41,974 --> 00:05:43,914
thousands of tiny animals.
110
00:05:44,744 --> 00:05:47,154
Some can be no
bigger than a pinhead.
111
00:05:47,647 --> 00:05:49,717
They're animals
related to jellyfish.
112
00:05:49,782 --> 00:05:51,882
KIRBY: They're animals,
related to jellyfish?
113
00:05:51,951 --> 00:05:54,421
What are you talking
about, let me see that.
114
00:05:55,321 --> 00:05:58,891
KIRBY (off-screen):
One individual coral polyp
is made of an exoskeleton,
115
00:05:58,958 --> 00:06:01,128
a big giant
stomach, and tentacles.
116
00:06:02,495 --> 00:06:05,495
KIRBY (off-screen): All of
the individual coral polyps can
117
00:06:05,565 --> 00:06:07,595
be linked together
by a coenosarc.
118
00:06:07,667 --> 00:06:09,367
Cool science word!
Coenosarc.
119
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:12,739
It's like a pipeline
system that lets them
share nutrients.
120
00:06:12,805 --> 00:06:14,705
KIRBY: That's so weird.
121
00:06:14,774 --> 00:06:16,444
CHARLIE: What
else does it say?
122
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:20,209
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Microscopic algae live within
coral polyps,
123
00:06:20,646 --> 00:06:23,076
providing them with food,
and giving them their color.
124
00:06:23,449 --> 00:06:25,549
KIRBY: Let me
read the next part.
125
00:06:25,618 --> 00:06:29,058
KIRBY (off-screen):
Coral also use their
tentacles to sting plankton
126
00:06:29,122 --> 00:06:31,062
and bring them to their mouths.
127
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:33,694
CHARLIE (off-screen): Some
have extra-long tentacles,
called sweeper tentacles,
128
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,130
they use to sting
neighboring corals that
might be getting too close.
129
00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:40,831
CHARLIE: So, those are
sweeper tentacles in the tank!
130
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,600
That coral is
attacking other corals!
131
00:06:46,172 --> 00:06:48,672
KIRBY: Not today coral.
132
00:06:50,643 --> 00:06:52,553
CHARLIE: Hmm, come
on, guy, you got it.
133
00:06:52,612 --> 00:06:54,652
There we go.
134
00:06:55,548 --> 00:06:57,178
Hmm. Ah.
135
00:06:57,683 --> 00:06:59,423
KIRBY: Now it can't
reach the other ones.
136
00:06:59,485 --> 00:07:00,585
Problem solved.
137
00:07:00,653 --> 00:07:01,993
CHARLIE: What do you think?
We should take a break?
138
00:07:02,054 --> 00:07:03,924
How about we record an
episode of "Crafternoons"?
139
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:05,830
KIRBY: You know I'm down.
CHARLIE: Let's do it.
140
00:07:07,794 --> 00:07:12,534
CHARLIE: And that
completes our list
of the 100 differences
141
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:16,768
between goldenrod and dandelion.
142
00:07:17,737 --> 00:07:18,807
KIRBY: Next up.
143
00:07:18,871 --> 00:07:22,841
Moving on to the pros
and cons of cerulean.
144
00:07:23,242 --> 00:07:25,082
CASEY: What happened?
145
00:07:27,346 --> 00:07:28,476
CHARLIE: What's going on?
146
00:07:28,548 --> 00:07:29,948
CASEY: It's green!
147
00:07:30,016 --> 00:07:31,846
KIRBY: What's all
this junk on the walls?
148
00:07:31,918 --> 00:07:33,518
CHARLIE: Uhh.
This doesn't look good.
149
00:07:33,586 --> 00:07:36,116
CASEY: What was Patrick
thinking leaving us in charge
of these things?
150
00:07:36,189 --> 00:07:39,629
I'm running late for a
meeting at the soup kitchen,
and I don't have time to fix
151
00:07:39,692 --> 00:07:40,732
any of this right now.
152
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:42,233
KIRBY: Maybe say
you're too busy?
153
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:44,725
CASEY: No, no.
It's not too much, it's never
too much I can do this right?
154
00:07:44,797 --> 00:07:45,997
CHARLIE: Case! Relax.
We got this.
155
00:07:46,065 --> 00:07:47,295
Alright, here's the game plan.
156
00:07:47,366 --> 00:07:48,666
You stay down here
and watch the fish.
157
00:07:48,734 --> 00:07:50,544
Video chat into your
soup kitchen meeting.
158
00:07:50,603 --> 00:07:52,003
KIRBY: We'll figure this out.
159
00:07:52,071 --> 00:07:53,871
CASEY: Okay,
but hurry, please.
160
00:07:54,173 --> 00:07:55,843
CHARLIE: Uh where
are we gonna go?
161
00:07:55,908 --> 00:07:59,408
KIRBY: I know this guy,
Dr. Alan Friedlander.
162
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,709
He's a National
Geographic scientist.
163
00:08:01,781 --> 00:08:05,281
And him and his team
are cleaning up and
saving coral reefs,
164
00:08:05,351 --> 00:08:07,551
just like Pat's,
but in the ocean.
165
00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:08,690
CHARLIE: Oh my gosh!
That's perfect!
166
00:08:08,754 --> 00:08:10,194
They can
definitely help us out.
167
00:08:10,256 --> 00:08:11,486
We'll see you guys there.
168
00:08:11,557 --> 00:08:13,627
KIRBY: Ok.
CHARLIE: Let's,
let's find a plane.
169
00:08:13,693 --> 00:08:17,333
CHARLIE (off-screen): And just
like that, we're headed to the
middle of the Pacific Ocean
170
00:08:17,396 --> 00:08:19,926
to dive the coral reefs
around Honolulu, Hawaii.
171
00:08:20,299 --> 00:08:23,399
Honolulu is famous for
hula dancing and surfing.
172
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:28,667
KIRBY (off-screen):
Weird but true, some fish can
change from male to female.
173
00:08:35,748 --> 00:08:39,088
CHARLIE: Hey guys,
we just made it here
outside Honolulu in Hawaii.
174
00:08:39,151 --> 00:08:41,321
KIRBY: And we're here at the
Anuenue Fish Research Center.
175
00:08:41,387 --> 00:08:44,087
CHARLIE: To meet Brian
from the Department of
Aquatic Resources.
176
00:08:44,156 --> 00:08:46,826
They take care of the entire
coastline here in Hawaii.
177
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:49,863
And also Alan from
the Pristine Seas Project.
178
00:08:49,929 --> 00:08:53,199
He's traveled the entire
world saving the oceans.
179
00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:55,196
KIRBY: So if anyone can
help us it's these guys.
180
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:56,338
Let's go.
181
00:08:56,602 --> 00:09:00,412
ALAN: Weird but true,
parrotfish eat coral and
a single parrotfish creates
182
00:09:00,473 --> 00:09:03,113
about 500 pounds of sand
a year that it poops out.
183
00:09:03,409 --> 00:09:08,749
CHARLIE: Here's the situation,
back home we're helping our
sister watch our friend's tank
184
00:09:08,814 --> 00:09:11,454
and it's really
not going well.
185
00:09:12,051 --> 00:09:16,421
Algae is building up on the
sides of the walls and we
have no idea how to fix it.
186
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:18,119
CHARLIE: Do you guys
think you can help us out?
187
00:09:18,190 --> 00:09:22,030
ALAN: Your problem you just
described is a problem that's
going on in the whole world.
188
00:09:22,094 --> 00:09:24,234
The oceans in
general are not doing well.
189
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:28,304
The project with National
Geographic Pristine Seas that
we have is we're trying to
190
00:09:28,367 --> 00:09:32,537
seek out the last wild places
in the ocean, places that
really haven't been impacted
191
00:09:32,605 --> 00:09:34,105
by people yet.
192
00:09:34,173 --> 00:09:37,413
ALAN: And this gives
us an idea of what
natural systems look like.
193
00:09:38,144 --> 00:09:40,714
CHARLIE (off-screen):
Alan's sharing lessons
they've learned from healthy
194
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:43,720
reefs to help Brian
fix a big algae problem.
195
00:09:44,183 --> 00:09:49,463
Algae are aquatic organisms
that range in size from
microscopic to large seaweeds.
196
00:09:50,156 --> 00:09:54,386
BRIAN: Kind of like your fish
tank, invasive seaweed is
really bad for our reefs.
197
00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:55,830
CHARLIE: Why is it
such a bad thing?
198
00:09:55,895 --> 00:09:57,855
BRIAN: Since it's not
naturally from here,
it doesn't have
199
00:09:57,930 --> 00:09:59,600
its natural predators.
200
00:09:59,665 --> 00:10:02,295
BRIAN: And so it just
soon became out of control.
201
00:10:02,368 --> 00:10:04,868
ALAN: The problem with
invasive species are that
the naturally occurring
202
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:08,667
things in the ecosystem
don't recognize them, so
they just kind of explode
203
00:10:08,741 --> 00:10:11,111
and take advantage
of the situation.
204
00:10:11,177 --> 00:10:12,777
CHARLIE: So this algae
is an invasive species?
205
00:10:12,845 --> 00:10:14,075
ALAN: It certainly is.
206
00:10:14,146 --> 00:10:15,976
CHARLIE: We know all
about invasive species.
207
00:10:17,183 --> 00:10:21,393
CHARLIE (off-screen): Invasive
species are perfectly fine in
their native habitats,
208
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:24,564
where they have predators
and competition to keep
them in check.
209
00:10:24,857 --> 00:10:27,357
But when they're
moved to new locations,
they might have no
210
00:10:27,426 --> 00:10:29,226
predators and competition.
211
00:10:29,495 --> 00:10:32,965
So, they take over which
can be very harmful to
that new ecosystem.
212
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,270
CHARLIE (off-screen):
And that's what happened
in Kane'ohe Bay,
213
00:10:36,335 --> 00:10:38,035
with non-native algae.
214
00:10:38,537 --> 00:10:40,767
CHARLIE: What a beautiful bay.
215
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,010
Ooh! The sun!
216
00:10:43,075 --> 00:10:44,535
We should farm here.
217
00:10:44,610 --> 00:10:45,780
KIRBY: What should we farm?
218
00:10:45,845 --> 00:10:50,645
CHARLIE: This stuff,
algae from the Philippines,
they put it in everything.
219
00:10:50,716 --> 00:10:53,386
KIRBY: We'll make millions.
CHARLIE: What could go wrong?
220
00:10:55,621 --> 00:10:59,831
CHARLIE: This just in, the
algae market is down, it
escaped its underwater pens,
221
00:10:59,892 --> 00:11:03,402
and is slowly taking over the
coral reefs in Kane'ohe Bay!
222
00:11:05,598 --> 00:11:07,628
CHARLIE (off-screen):
We're heading out to the
reef to see what the
223
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,670
invasive seaweed has
done to the coral.
224
00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:12,710
ALAN: This is Kane'ohe Bay.
225
00:11:12,772 --> 00:11:14,742
And this reef's
pretty degraded.
226
00:11:14,807 --> 00:11:18,837
There's a lot of algae
that's invaded and kind
of smothered the coral,
227
00:11:18,911 --> 00:11:22,581
the corals die, and
it's just an unhealthy,
out-of-balance ecosystem.
228
00:11:22,848 --> 00:11:24,618
CHARLIE: Ready to hop in?
ALAN: Let's do it, guys.
229
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:39,933
♪ ♪
230
00:11:42,401 --> 00:11:44,241
CHARLIE: This is
the invasive stuff.
231
00:11:44,303 --> 00:11:45,913
CHARLIE: That's choking out...
232
00:11:46,939 --> 00:11:48,309
...this reef.
233
00:11:49,241 --> 00:11:52,141
CHARLIE: Under all
this coral it's just...
234
00:11:53,045 --> 00:11:55,005
...layers and
layers of this algae...
235
00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:57,581
...just weaving itself through.
236
00:11:57,650 --> 00:12:00,750
KIRBY: All this algae is
suffocating the coral.
237
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:04,117
KIRBY: There aren't too
many fish over here either.
238
00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:06,560
KIRBY: Fish are losing houses.
239
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,200
KIRBY: This stuff is bad news.
240
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:17,865
ALAN: How'd it go, guys?
CHARLIE: It was a good dive.
241
00:12:17,937 --> 00:12:19,837
It was rough to see all
that algae down there though.
242
00:12:19,905 --> 00:12:21,705
ALAN: Yeah.
KIRBY: For sure.
ALAN: Pesky stuff huh?
243
00:12:21,774 --> 00:12:22,884
CHARLIE: Yeah.
KIRBY: Yeah.
244
00:12:22,942 --> 00:12:24,642
ALAN: It just gets to all
the cracks and crevices.
KIRBY: Yeah.
245
00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:26,010
CHARLIE: And
that's the hard thing.
246
00:12:26,078 --> 00:12:27,348
It really cements
itself down there.
247
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:28,553
ALAN: Yeah.
248
00:12:28,614 --> 00:12:30,784
And it ruins the habitat for
all the rest of the critters
that are trying to live in
249
00:12:30,850 --> 00:12:32,450
there, cause it just
takes over everything.
250
00:12:32,518 --> 00:12:33,848
KIRBY: That's crazy.
251
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:36,993
CHARLIE (off-screen): As bad
as the coral looks here, on
another part of the reef,
252
00:12:37,056 --> 00:12:40,586
they've come up with a really
cool solution that they're
anxious to show us.
253
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,700
BRIAN: To try to get
rid of this stuff.
254
00:12:42,762 --> 00:12:48,372
We went in with an underwater
vacuum system and hand
removed the algae and
255
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:53,714
then to keep it from growing
back afterwards we put sea
urchins out on the reef.
256
00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:57,810
KIRBY (off-screen): It
turns out that sea urchins
love to eat lots of seaweed.
257
00:12:57,877 --> 00:12:59,947
They say it's just
like goats eating grass.
258
00:13:00,012 --> 00:13:03,952
And the really good news
is that these sea urchins
are native to these
259
00:13:04,016 --> 00:13:05,716
Hawaiian coral reefs.
260
00:13:07,286 --> 00:13:10,356
CHARLIE: So is this like
a cleaned reef after you
guys have been able to get
261
00:13:10,422 --> 00:13:11,622
in and do your work?
262
00:13:11,690 --> 00:13:14,590
BRIAN: Yeah, urchins have
been at work here for
about two years now.
263
00:13:14,660 --> 00:13:18,630
It'll stay nice and healthy
as long as those urchins
are out there eating it
264
00:13:18,697 --> 00:13:20,427
and keeping the seaweed at bay.
265
00:13:20,499 --> 00:13:21,999
CHARLIE: Nice,
I'm ready to go.
KIRBY: I'm ready to go.
266
00:13:22,067 --> 00:13:23,237
ALAN: Alright,
let's do it guys.
267
00:13:23,302 --> 00:13:25,402
CHARLIE: You guys
ready to dive in?
Let's go underwater.
268
00:13:31,377 --> 00:13:33,747
KIRBY: So this is
a healthy reef.
269
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:37,180
KIRBY: It's filled
with glistening coral.
270
00:13:37,249 --> 00:13:39,749
KIRBY: There's barely
any algae anywhere.
271
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:42,919
KIRBY: There's pinks and
purples and yellows.
272
00:13:43,923 --> 00:13:45,363
CHARLIE: I haven't
seen any algae...
273
00:13:45,424 --> 00:13:47,264
...in this whole area.
274
00:13:48,127 --> 00:13:50,727
KIRBY: These urchins
are nailing their job.
275
00:13:51,130 --> 00:13:54,030
KIRBY: Maybe Pat could use
a few urchins back home.
276
00:13:55,067 --> 00:13:56,497
KIRBY: This is pretty amazing!
277
00:14:03,209 --> 00:14:07,649
BRIAN: In total we've put over
300,000 of these little guys
out onto the reef so far.
278
00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:09,247
KIRBY: They were
all raised here.
279
00:14:09,315 --> 00:14:10,975
BRIAN: That were all
raised here in this facility.
280
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:13,490
KIRBY: That's awesome.
CHARLIE: What is a sea urchin?
281
00:14:13,552 --> 00:14:16,692
BRIAN: They're really
cool little creatures
covered in spikes,
282
00:14:16,755 --> 00:14:20,125
and that protects them and
keeps things from eating them,
but then they also have little
283
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:23,162
tube feet, and that's how the
urchins actually crawl around.
284
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:26,300
CHARLIE: See ya, bud.
KIRBY: Bye.
285
00:14:26,365 --> 00:14:28,865
KIRBY: Whoa.
286
00:14:29,468 --> 00:14:31,838
CHARLIE: Whoa.
That's a giant.
KIRBY: That's crazy.
287
00:14:32,104 --> 00:14:36,084
BRIAN: These are about a year
and a half old, and so now
you can really see those
288
00:14:36,141 --> 00:14:38,941
tube feet that we were talking
about with the little ones.
289
00:14:39,011 --> 00:14:41,511
KIRBY: Are these his teeth
or his mouth or something?
290
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:42,680
What's going on?
291
00:14:42,748 --> 00:14:44,478
BRIAN: Yeah, so that's his
mouth moving up and down.
292
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:45,680
CHARLIE: Ugh.
293
00:14:45,751 --> 00:14:48,991
KIRBY: That's so weird
it's like 5 little beaks
coming forward.
294
00:14:49,054 --> 00:14:50,994
BRIAN: It's like
something from a horror
movie, doesn't it?
295
00:14:51,056 --> 00:14:52,856
KIRBY: Kind of.
That's crazy.
296
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:57,499
Sounds like these
urchins are kind of like
reestablishing the balance
297
00:14:57,563 --> 00:14:59,303
of their ecosystem.
298
00:14:59,365 --> 00:15:01,225
ALAN: You know, everything
has to be in balance, right?
299
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:04,500
If one thing's missing
from the ecosystem it
all goes out of whack.
300
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:08,270
It's complicated, but yet
nature does a great job
of taking care of itself.
301
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:11,480
KIRBY: So we know how
to get rid of the algae
and make it stay away.
302
00:15:11,543 --> 00:15:12,753
I think we're
gonna fix the tank.
303
00:15:12,811 --> 00:15:14,151
(Phone buzzing).
304
00:15:14,213 --> 00:15:15,953
CHARLIE: Dude yeah
without a doubt.
305
00:15:16,015 --> 00:15:18,115
We got a bunch
of voicemails from Casey.
306
00:15:18,183 --> 00:15:21,523
CASEY: Hey Charles,
it's Case, just you know,
things are getting kind of
307
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:22,957
green in the tank.
308
00:15:23,022 --> 00:15:24,562
Call me back. Bye.
309
00:15:25,124 --> 00:15:28,494
CASEY: If you could call me
back ASAP that'd be awesome.
310
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:29,660
Thanks.
311
00:15:29,728 --> 00:15:30,958
CASEY: Where the
heck are you guys?
312
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:34,630
I can't handle this stress!
Call me back.
313
00:15:36,635 --> 00:15:38,535
CHARLIE: She's freaking out.
KIRBY: Is it bad?
CHARLIE: It's bad.
314
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:39,474
KIRBY: We gotta go.
315
00:15:39,538 --> 00:15:41,408
CHARLIE: Alright guys,
we'll head back to HQ,
we gotta help Casey out.
316
00:15:41,473 --> 00:15:42,883
See you soon.
Quick!
317
00:15:42,942 --> 00:15:45,742
KIRBY (off-screen):
Weird but true, the surface
of the Atlantic Ocean is
318
00:15:45,811 --> 00:15:48,411
saltier than the surface
of the Pacific Ocean!
319
00:15:55,087 --> 00:15:56,317
CHARLIE: Hey Casey!
CASEY: Guys!
320
00:15:56,388 --> 00:15:57,758
KIRBY: How's it going?
CASEY: Terrible.
321
00:15:57,823 --> 00:16:01,363
There's green stuff all over
the walls of the tank, and
I told Bob like an hour
322
00:16:01,427 --> 00:16:03,557
ago that I'd teach him how
to play racquetball.
323
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:04,759
CHARLIE: Don't worry about it.
324
00:16:04,830 --> 00:16:06,230
We can handle it,
just tell Bob we say hi.
325
00:16:06,298 --> 00:16:07,298
CASEY: Oh my gosh
you guys are the best!
326
00:16:07,366 --> 00:16:08,466
Thanks! Bye!
327
00:16:08,534 --> 00:16:13,244
CHARLIE: Okay, so it seems
like the same problem as the
reefs in Hawaii, right?
328
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:15,705
All this green stuff
is just tiny algae.
329
00:16:15,774 --> 00:16:17,944
KIRBY: Yeah, and the first
thing they did was remove it.
330
00:16:18,010 --> 00:16:19,010
So.
331
00:16:22,715 --> 00:16:27,785
CHARLIE: This is
looking amazing, but
we're not done yet.
332
00:16:28,253 --> 00:16:32,593
Remember back in Hawaii
after they took the algae out,
they put some sea urchins
333
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:34,758
in to make sure that it
didn't grow back.
334
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:36,697
KIRBY: We don't
have any sea urchins.
335
00:16:36,762 --> 00:16:39,532
CHARLIE: Yeah. We gotta to
be missing something, right?
336
00:16:39,598 --> 00:16:41,598
I mean, Patrick was able
to make this thing work.
337
00:16:43,902 --> 00:16:45,872
KIRBY: Charlie!
CHARLIE: Whoa!
338
00:16:46,939 --> 00:16:49,309
There are a bunch of little
bugs in here, swimming around!
339
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:50,775
What's going on, Kirb?
340
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:55,013
KIRBY: I think this
tank is called a refugium.
341
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,380
CHARLIE: What is a refugium?
342
00:16:56,448 --> 00:16:59,318
KIRBY: Hi, Kirby
here for refugium.
343
00:16:59,385 --> 00:17:01,415
Your filtration specialist.
344
00:17:01,487 --> 00:17:04,457
KIRBY: This supplemental
tank shares water with
your main tank,
345
00:17:04,523 --> 00:17:08,833
is powered by sunlight,
activated by fish poop,
is safe for your fish
346
00:17:08,894 --> 00:17:10,964
and Mother Nature approved.
347
00:17:11,397 --> 00:17:14,327
I'm talking about
macroinvertebrates
that eat fish poop,
348
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,500
and other
beneficial microalgae.
349
00:17:16,568 --> 00:17:19,668
Both of which keep
the nutrients in your
tank in check.
350
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:25,435
KIRBY: Look over here, by
absorbing the fish waste and
balancing the chemicals in the
351
00:17:25,511 --> 00:17:30,851
tank, these organisms are
taking nutrients away from the
bad algae in the main tank and
352
00:17:30,916 --> 00:17:33,946
promoting a healthier
environment for your fish.
353
00:17:34,453 --> 00:17:39,633
What I need from you is
to call in the next 4 minutes
to get your very own refugium
354
00:17:39,691 --> 00:17:44,501
and we'll throw in a
microalgae starter kit, a
giant beat up shark and heck,
355
00:17:44,563 --> 00:17:47,173
why not, my brother, Charlie.
356
00:17:48,534 --> 00:17:52,244
CHARLIE: Okay, so I guess
this isn't just an empty
tank without any fish.
357
00:17:52,304 --> 00:17:57,514
KIRBY: Yeah, this refugium is
a filtration system with tiny
little organisms in it to
358
00:17:57,576 --> 00:17:59,776
make this a balanced ecosystem.
359
00:17:59,845 --> 00:18:03,545
CHARLIE: How cool is that,
tiny little organisms and
little plants can have
360
00:18:03,615 --> 00:18:05,545
a huge role in a coral reef.
361
00:18:05,617 --> 00:18:09,017
KIRBY: Yeah, and I guess
we just have to connect
the two tanks then.
362
00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:12,062
CHARLIE: Yeah, definitely
not plugged in here.
363
00:18:12,524 --> 00:18:14,134
And, they're connected!
364
00:18:14,193 --> 00:18:15,093
KIRBY: Boom!
365
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,100
Natural
filtration is back online.
366
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:20,834
CHARLIE: This is
looking pretty good,
Kirb, not gonna lie.
367
00:18:20,899 --> 00:18:24,099
KIRBY: What can we do
to make sure this is in
the perfect condition?
368
00:18:25,237 --> 00:18:26,267
CHARLIE (off-screen):
I don't know.
369
00:18:26,338 --> 00:18:28,538
What could possibly be
left for us to diagnose?
370
00:18:30,275 --> 00:18:31,475
CHARLIE: Hey, Earth.
371
00:18:31,543 --> 00:18:33,253
KIRBY: How have you
been feeling recently?
372
00:18:33,312 --> 00:18:36,152
CHARLIE: I'm gonna
have to ask you to take
a deep breath for me.
373
00:18:36,215 --> 00:18:38,775
KIRBY: And open up wide
so I can take your temp.
374
00:18:39,051 --> 00:18:41,521
KIRBY: Hmm, a
bit above normal.
375
00:18:42,187 --> 00:18:45,057
CHARLIE: We're gonna
have to take a look at
your coral real quick.
376
00:18:45,324 --> 00:18:47,394
Oop, very white.
377
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:49,359
You're suffering
from coral bleaching.
378
00:18:52,798 --> 00:18:55,598
CHARLIE (off-screen):
That's when the coral gets so
stressed from the increased
379
00:18:55,667 --> 00:18:59,907
ocean temperatures, it
expels the good algae inside
of it that gives it food,
380
00:18:59,972 --> 00:19:02,172
and its color,
turning it white.
381
00:19:02,841 --> 00:19:05,641
The coral cannot
survive without their
algae for very long.
382
00:19:06,345 --> 00:19:11,545
KIRBY: And if we look at
your file from 1998, it looks
like you lost 16% of your
383
00:19:11,617 --> 00:19:14,717
coral due to a worldwide
bleaching event.
384
00:19:15,220 --> 00:19:16,860
KIRBY: It seems to be
getting worse every day.
385
00:19:16,922 --> 00:19:18,862
CHARLIE: You're
taking in a lot of CO2.
386
00:19:18,924 --> 00:19:23,334
CHARLIE: It looks like
your oceans are absorbing
22 million tons of
387
00:19:23,395 --> 00:19:25,755
CO2 every single day.
388
00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:31,838
KIRBY: Look, your water sample
just came in from the lab, and
it looks like all that CO2 is
389
00:19:31,904 --> 00:19:35,374
causing all of your
waters to become more acidic.
390
00:19:36,275 --> 00:19:39,375
KIRBY (off-screen):
Ocean acidification makes
it hard for corals to
391
00:19:39,444 --> 00:19:41,454
grow their skeletons.
392
00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:45,453
CHARLIE: You're suffering from
coral bleaching and ocean
acidification.
393
00:19:45,517 --> 00:19:49,587
So, I'm gonna have to
recommend that you reduce your
daily intake of CO2 and
394
00:19:49,655 --> 00:19:53,885
encourage your caretakers,
the people of Earth, to
reduce their contribution
395
00:19:53,959 --> 00:19:55,289
to climate change, too.
396
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,700
KIRBY: We're rooting for ya.
397
00:19:56,962 --> 00:20:01,872
CHARLIE: Okay, so coral reefs
thrive at specific
temperatures and PH levels.
398
00:20:02,167 --> 00:20:03,967
Hmm, oh!
399
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:05,366
This one's a little frigid.
400
00:20:05,437 --> 00:20:08,367
I'm sure we got to plug
into the heater or something.
401
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:11,911
CHARLIE: Now we got to
do a bunch of tests,
on like ammonia,
402
00:20:11,977 --> 00:20:15,307
nitrates, we do
PH, and oxygen, too.
403
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:17,120
KIRBY: Keeping a tank
is kind of difficult.
404
00:20:17,182 --> 00:20:18,282
CASEY: Hey guys!
405
00:20:18,350 --> 00:20:19,990
Sorry I was gone,
but I'm here now.
406
00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:21,922
And this looks amazing.
407
00:20:22,421 --> 00:20:25,591
KIRBY: Yeah, we connected
two symbiotic ecosystems,
408
00:20:25,657 --> 00:20:28,187
and we regulated the
water temperature.
409
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:29,430
You want to feed them?
410
00:20:29,494 --> 00:20:30,564
CASEY: For sure!
411
00:20:33,298 --> 00:20:34,768
CASEY: Guys.
412
00:20:34,833 --> 00:20:36,943
KIRBY: What?
CASEY: Where's the last fish?
413
00:20:37,002 --> 00:20:38,142
CHARLIE: What are
you talking about?
414
00:20:38,203 --> 00:20:39,913
CASEY: In Patrick's note,
he said there were 7 fish.
415
00:20:39,972 --> 00:20:43,342
Flip, Flop, Splish, Splash,
Rainbow, Dr. Sparkles,
416
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:44,978
and Colonel Archibald
Billingsworth.
417
00:20:45,043 --> 00:20:46,553
There are only 6 fish here.
418
00:20:46,612 --> 00:20:49,552
KIRBY: We lost a fish?
CHARLIE: Wait, we
didn't lose a fish.
419
00:20:49,615 --> 00:20:51,345
This is how it always looked.
420
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:52,446
CASEY: Oh, my gosh.
421
00:20:52,517 --> 00:20:53,617
CHARLIE: Don't
worry about it, Case.
422
00:20:53,685 --> 00:20:55,145
I'm sure Kirb and I
figure this one out, too.
423
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:58,420
CASEY: No, no, I'm done
handing out responsibilities.
424
00:20:58,490 --> 00:21:00,430
Guys, give me some space.
425
00:21:00,492 --> 00:21:01,862
I've got a fish to find.
426
00:21:05,664 --> 00:21:06,604
CHARLIE: Hey guys.
427
00:21:06,665 --> 00:21:09,495
KIRBY: Case has
been researching for
like an hour and a half.
428
00:21:09,568 --> 00:21:11,238
CHARLIE: She's
missed three meetings.
429
00:21:11,303 --> 00:21:12,703
KIRBY: She's not
answering her phone.
430
00:21:12,771 --> 00:21:13,971
CHARLIE: It's crazy.
431
00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:16,479
CASEY: I got it!
CHARLIE: Where is it?
432
00:21:16,541 --> 00:21:19,041
CASEY: Right here.
It's a stonefish.
433
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:20,581
KIRBY: Woah.
434
00:21:20,646 --> 00:21:23,316
CASEY: Yeah, he looks way
more like a stone than a fish.
435
00:21:23,382 --> 00:21:25,352
And he wasn't lost at
all, we couldn't see him.
436
00:21:25,417 --> 00:21:27,187
CHARLIE: That's a
super close call.
437
00:21:27,252 --> 00:21:28,792
CASEY: Way too
close of a call for me.
438
00:21:28,854 --> 00:21:32,594
That's why I'm clearing out
time in my schedule to make
responsibilities like
439
00:21:32,658 --> 00:21:34,588
this one more of a priority.
440
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:35,990
Nothing's falling
through the cracks.
441
00:21:36,061 --> 00:21:37,301
KIRBY: Probably a good idea.
442
00:21:37,362 --> 00:21:38,832
CHARLIE: You want to know
the craziest thing, though?
443
00:21:38,897 --> 00:21:41,467
Patrick has no idea that
any of this is happening.
444
00:21:41,533 --> 00:21:44,203
KIRBY: Should we
craft him a letter?
CASEY: I can help!
445
00:21:44,269 --> 00:21:46,739
KIRBY: Case,
focus on the fish.
CASEY: You're right.
446
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:49,735
CHARLIE: Alright, guys, it
looks like we have a new
project on our hands,
447
00:21:49,808 --> 00:21:51,538
but thanks so much
for stopping by.
448
00:21:51,610 --> 00:21:54,250
Come by again when we discover
more things that are weird...
449
00:21:54,313 --> 00:21:55,283
KIRBY: But true!
450
00:21:55,347 --> 00:21:56,917
CHARLIE: We'll see you
guys later! I want to
put a fish in the tank.
451
00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:57,882
KIRBY: We gotta
tell em about all this.
452
