These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:56,000 The Map To Paradise 3 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,862 So, every night, almost every night, 4 00:00:58,965 --> 00:01:01,344 I walk to the sanctuary 5 00:01:01,448 --> 00:01:03,413 with my little lump, 6 00:01:03,517 --> 00:01:05,379 especially if there's no moon, 7 00:01:05,482 --> 00:01:08,758 because during the time, there are rocks on the way. 8 00:01:17,965 --> 00:01:19,068 When I get there, 9 00:01:19,172 --> 00:01:20,379 I have a little mat 10 00:01:20,482 --> 00:01:22,344 that I can sleep on. 11 00:01:39,931 --> 00:01:42,379 In the beach, which is open, 12 00:01:42,482 --> 00:01:44,172 when I'm laying on the mat 13 00:01:44,275 --> 00:01:46,310 and facing the sky, 14 00:01:46,413 --> 00:01:49,172 I'm really, really happy when there's moon 15 00:01:49,275 --> 00:01:52,620 that glow the surrounding and including the sea, 16 00:01:52,724 --> 00:01:57,172 that I can see anyone that will come inside the sanctuary. 17 00:02:04,172 --> 00:02:06,275 And I can see also, if there's no moon, 18 00:02:06,379 --> 00:02:07,862 the stars, which is beautiful. 19 00:02:07,965 --> 00:02:10,758 The falling stars and twinkling stars -- 20 00:02:10,862 --> 00:02:12,482 it's really nice. 21 00:02:12,586 --> 00:02:14,172 I asked the star one night. 22 00:02:14,275 --> 00:02:15,965 I asked to star to glow more, 23 00:02:16,068 --> 00:02:17,103 like the moon. 24 00:02:17,206 --> 00:02:19,517 So, it gives more bright light 25 00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:23,103 that can help me look on the sanctuary. 26 00:02:23,206 --> 00:02:25,586 This is what I imagine when I'm lying in the beach 27 00:02:25,689 --> 00:02:27,310 there in sanctuary at night 28 00:02:27,413 --> 00:02:29,551 until I fall down to sleep. 29 00:02:46,793 --> 00:02:49,689 When I was 12 years old, that was the time -- 30 00:02:49,793 --> 00:02:53,068 my mother already dies during the time. 31 00:02:53,172 --> 00:02:55,448 She used to be the chief of the village, 32 00:02:55,551 --> 00:02:59,655 and she started the marine sanctuary. 33 00:02:59,758 --> 00:03:04,310 I was appointed to be a warden on this place. 34 00:03:04,413 --> 00:03:07,551 The idea of sanctuary is to protect our nature, 35 00:03:07,655 --> 00:03:09,586 wildlife, and animals 36 00:03:09,689 --> 00:03:11,344 that are supposed to be there. 37 00:03:13,793 --> 00:03:18,655 During that time, there was only a few people, few creatures -- 38 00:03:18,758 --> 00:03:20,655 birds, turtles. 39 00:03:20,758 --> 00:03:22,172 There was only a few, 40 00:03:22,275 --> 00:03:24,517 because the previous generation 41 00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:26,068 destroyed it. 42 00:03:27,827 --> 00:03:30,000 What I see before 43 00:03:30,103 --> 00:03:32,517 was the reef is depleting, 44 00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:34,137 the fish is getting 45 00:03:34,241 --> 00:03:35,724 smaller in numbers, 46 00:03:35,827 --> 00:03:37,758 and the population is increasing, 47 00:03:37,862 --> 00:03:40,137 but the fish population is dropping. 48 00:03:42,413 --> 00:03:44,586 When I see any wildlife, 49 00:03:44,689 --> 00:03:47,586 I really feel that they are my friend 50 00:03:47,689 --> 00:03:49,965 because I have only a few friends there. 51 00:03:58,931 --> 00:04:00,655 During that time, I just imagined 52 00:04:00,758 --> 00:04:03,482 that I just drove friends as much as I can, 53 00:04:03,586 --> 00:04:06,310 so I have somebody that then I talk 54 00:04:06,413 --> 00:04:09,551 and also somebody that can help me watch, 55 00:04:09,655 --> 00:04:11,344 which is only a few people, anyway. 56 00:04:11,448 --> 00:04:13,586 But I wanted them to join 57 00:04:13,689 --> 00:04:16,965 what is on my mind to keep the sanctuary. 58 00:04:17,068 --> 00:04:19,551 I'm not thinking outside marine sanctuary yet 59 00:04:19,655 --> 00:04:20,793 during the time. 60 00:04:20,896 --> 00:04:22,034 Well, most of the time, 61 00:04:22,137 --> 00:04:24,068 we talk about fishing. 62 00:04:24,172 --> 00:04:26,827 That is like our activity on the island. 63 00:04:26,931 --> 00:04:28,068 Almost all children 64 00:04:28,172 --> 00:04:30,275 or young ones that are like my age, 65 00:04:30,379 --> 00:04:32,482 we are fishermen. 66 00:04:32,586 --> 00:04:34,034 Second to that is, 67 00:04:34,137 --> 00:04:36,724 we talk about the importance of keeping the sea, 68 00:04:36,827 --> 00:04:39,689 'cause we are taught how to keep the fish there. 69 00:04:43,137 --> 00:04:45,379 So that's why, when I grown up a little bit, 70 00:04:45,482 --> 00:04:47,517 I keep my friend. 71 00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,551 The birds and turtles, 72 00:04:49,655 --> 00:04:51,965 including the surrounding nature, 73 00:04:52,068 --> 00:04:53,344 the stars -- 74 00:04:53,448 --> 00:04:55,724 we are, like, friends together. 75 00:04:59,862 --> 00:05:04,241 Since I was a kid, I respect Mario so much, 76 00:05:04,344 --> 00:05:07,758 because he was famous not only here in Apo. 77 00:05:07,862 --> 00:05:10,517 A respectful man. 78 00:05:10,620 --> 00:05:12,344 You could think sometimes, 79 00:05:12,448 --> 00:05:15,689 "Can I do it the same as Mario. 80 00:05:15,793 --> 00:05:17,482 He represents a model 81 00:05:17,586 --> 00:05:19,517 for young generations. 82 00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:21,551 I'm talking about a protector, 83 00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:23,034 not just here in the island, 84 00:05:23,137 --> 00:05:27,655 but also, somewhere in the Philippines. 85 00:05:27,758 --> 00:05:29,655 Apo Island started the movement 86 00:05:29,758 --> 00:05:32,034 for conservation in the Philippines 87 00:05:32,137 --> 00:05:34,689 in terms of establishing marine protected areas 88 00:05:34,793 --> 00:05:36,068 with the legislation, 89 00:05:36,172 --> 00:05:38,241 with the framework on how to do it, 90 00:05:38,344 --> 00:05:41,103 and everyone's looking up to Apo Island 91 00:05:41,206 --> 00:05:42,689 because that's what 92 00:05:42,793 --> 00:05:45,275 marine protected areas could be. 93 00:05:55,206 --> 00:05:57,931 A paradise means to be 94 00:05:58,034 --> 00:06:01,206 truly connected to nature. 95 00:06:01,310 --> 00:06:02,413 When you wake up, 96 00:06:02,517 --> 00:06:04,310 you hear the sound of the birds. 97 00:06:06,241 --> 00:06:07,931 You see the horizon, 98 00:06:08,034 --> 00:06:12,379 where the sky and the sea meets. 99 00:06:12,482 --> 00:06:14,310 You breathe fresh air, 100 00:06:14,413 --> 00:06:15,724 and not only that, 101 00:06:15,827 --> 00:06:17,724 you see animals around you 102 00:06:17,827 --> 00:06:18,689 and plants, 103 00:06:18,793 --> 00:06:20,344 and you notice them more. 104 00:06:20,448 --> 00:06:23,310 I think that's what paradise could be. 105 00:07:38,724 --> 00:07:40,586 Patrick is the perfect sea dog. 106 00:07:40,689 --> 00:07:42,137 As soon as the boat stops, 107 00:07:42,241 --> 00:07:45,482 he loves to jump in the water and swim. 108 00:07:51,689 --> 00:07:53,517 We are on the Greek island 109 00:07:53,620 --> 00:07:55,034 of Patmos, 110 00:07:55,137 --> 00:07:56,344 where I spend 111 00:07:56,448 --> 00:07:58,827 a great deal of my time. 112 00:07:58,931 --> 00:08:01,000 One thing that never leaves you 113 00:08:01,103 --> 00:08:02,827 when you are anywhere in Patmos, 114 00:08:02,931 --> 00:08:05,068 but particularly in the seas around it, 115 00:08:05,172 --> 00:08:07,068 is its beauty. 116 00:08:07,172 --> 00:08:08,620 When you are in this place, 117 00:08:08,724 --> 00:08:11,586 you are pervaded and overwhelmed 118 00:08:11,689 --> 00:08:13,310 by the beauty of the place, 119 00:08:13,413 --> 00:08:15,310 and that is constantly 120 00:08:15,413 --> 00:08:17,103 a source of inspiration, 121 00:08:17,206 --> 00:08:21,724 and you don't want that beauty to go away. 122 00:08:21,827 --> 00:08:24,172 The older people that have been worrying 123 00:08:24,275 --> 00:08:26,310 about conserving the beauty 124 00:08:26,413 --> 00:08:28,551 and the functions of the natural world 125 00:08:28,655 --> 00:08:29,896 all their life, 126 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,172 they have a long experience, of course. 127 00:08:32,275 --> 00:08:36,689 So, they have many things to tell to the younger generation 128 00:08:36,793 --> 00:08:38,413 and to inspire them. 129 00:08:38,517 --> 00:08:41,896 But altogether, we, as a generation, 130 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,862 we have been doing a very bad work. 131 00:08:47,379 --> 00:08:49,482 If you just put your head underwater 132 00:08:49,586 --> 00:08:52,827 without diving, just snorkeling, just look underwater and see. 133 00:08:52,931 --> 00:08:55,482 In Greece, there's nothing. 134 00:08:55,586 --> 00:08:57,655 There is nothing left. 135 00:08:57,758 --> 00:09:00,241 The water is crystal clear, is fantastic. 136 00:09:00,344 --> 00:09:02,896 But the sea bottom is so poor. 137 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,586 It seems like biodiversity has been just knocked off. 138 00:09:06,689 --> 00:09:08,379 And this is not just fishes 139 00:09:08,482 --> 00:09:11,586 that are very sparse and small size. 140 00:09:11,689 --> 00:09:15,068 It's also, for example, the algal cover. 141 00:09:15,172 --> 00:09:17,655 If you touch the rocks 142 00:09:17,758 --> 00:09:20,379 in 2, 3, 4, 10 meters of water, 143 00:09:20,482 --> 00:09:23,068 you can see that there is covered 144 00:09:23,172 --> 00:09:25,931 with some sort of muck. 145 00:09:26,034 --> 00:09:27,551 So it looks like 146 00:09:27,655 --> 00:09:29,310 the marine coastal ecosystem 147 00:09:29,413 --> 00:09:30,931 is sick. 148 00:09:49,413 --> 00:09:50,620 The right thing to do 149 00:09:50,724 --> 00:09:53,241 is narrated through the legend, 150 00:09:53,344 --> 00:09:56,034 The values of the legends have been the moral stories 151 00:09:56,137 --> 00:09:57,896 and lessons to be learned. 152 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,862 Our past has really been told by stories, word of mouth, 153 00:10:01,965 --> 00:10:04,448 and really, also, by legends, 154 00:10:04,551 --> 00:10:06,275 and I like to share the legend 155 00:10:06,379 --> 00:10:08,310 of the insatiable child 156 00:10:08,413 --> 00:10:09,827 called Uab. 157 00:10:12,551 --> 00:10:15,379 One of our local mermaids had a boy, 158 00:10:15,482 --> 00:10:17,965 and she named it Uab, 159 00:10:18,068 --> 00:10:21,620 and Uab had this insatiable appetite. 160 00:10:21,724 --> 00:10:24,724 Pretty soon, it was the whole family 161 00:10:24,827 --> 00:10:29,517 and the whole village that had to satisfy his hunger. 162 00:10:29,620 --> 00:10:31,862 Whatever crops they could produce on the island, 163 00:10:31,965 --> 00:10:34,344 most of it had to be dedicated to Uab. 164 00:10:34,448 --> 00:10:36,827 The animal husbandry that they raised, 165 00:10:36,931 --> 00:10:38,655 they had to feed Uab. 166 00:10:38,758 --> 00:10:40,448 And also the resources of the sea, 167 00:10:40,551 --> 00:10:41,827 they had to feed Uab. 168 00:10:44,206 --> 00:10:47,689 And he became such a giant that the village said, 169 00:10:47,793 --> 00:10:50,275 "There's no way we can sustain our future 170 00:10:50,379 --> 00:10:53,724 if we're gonna invest in this one hungry child." 171 00:10:59,103 --> 00:11:01,827 So in the end, it took a whole village 172 00:11:01,931 --> 00:11:04,206 to eliminate the child. 173 00:11:37,482 --> 00:11:40,068 We gonna sail back towards southwest, 174 00:11:40,172 --> 00:11:42,655 stopping in different island, different communities 175 00:11:42,758 --> 00:11:47,034 and spreading this very good message to everyone. 176 00:11:47,137 --> 00:11:49,034 I try to keep my body healthy 177 00:11:49,137 --> 00:11:54,241 because I have a very big direction to follow 178

I am no important guy." 265 00:16:40,586 --> 00:16:43,310 I am one fisherman. 266 00:16:43,413 --> 00:16:45,206 But I feel everything. 267 00:16:45,310 --> 00:16:48,413 I see the sea cry, but I can't do something. 268 00:16:48,517 --> 00:16:51,241 Less fish every year 269 00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:54,517 and too much people. 270 00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:56,896 I hope one day, do something. 271

00:17:04,448 All fishermen feel this. 275 00:17:04,551 --> 00:17:08,241 In Athens, in Piraeus, in Thailand, and Europe also. 276 00:17:08,344 --> 00:17:12,103 Maybe I am stop because I am a small one. 277 00:17:12,206 --> 00:17:13,862 The big one, it's okay. 278 00:17:13,965 --> 00:17:16,103 The small ones, take the head. 279 00:17:36,482 --> 00:17:37,862 Antarctica is a place 280 00:17:37,965 --> 00:17:40,379 that I don't think you can describe accurately 281 00:17:40,482 --> 00:17:42,931 without coming down to it. 282 00:17:45,586 --> 00:17:48,482 Antarctica's unique as a marine ecosystem 283 00:17:48,586 --> 00:17:51,206 because of the amount of productivity that you have. 284 00:17:51,310 --> 00:17:54,137 The sea ice that expands and retreats every year 285 00:17:54,241 --> 00:17:55,724 covers an area twice the size 286 00:17:55,827 --> 00:17:58,551 of the United States. 287 00:17:58,655 --> 00:18:01,344 What we're likely to have down here is an area 288 00:18:01,448 --> 00:18:04,379 that's got a lot of glaciers, a lot of mountains, 289 00:18:04,482 --> 00:18:07,172 a lot of very dynamic topography. 290 00:18:10,655 --> 00:18:12,172 You got a lot of nutrients 291 00:18:12,275 --> 00:18:14,206 entrained in the upper part of the water column, 292 00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:16,275 and when you add nutrients and sunlight, 293 00:18:16,379 --> 00:18:18,344 you get an amazing amount of productivity. 294 00:18:18,448 --> 00:18:20,931 So, in the summertime, when there's lots of sunlight, 295 00:18:21,034 --> 00:18:22,448 you get a lot of plant growth 296 00:18:22,551 --> 00:18:24,689 that feeds the smaller zooplankton 297 00:18:24,793 --> 00:18:25,862 that then get fed on 298 00:18:25,965 --> 00:18:27,034 by the birds, the seals, 299 00:18:27,137 --> 00:18:28,172 and the whales. 300 00:18:28,275 --> 00:18:29,586 And so as an ecosystem, 301 00:18:29,689 --> 00:18:31,586 there's probably more biomass here 302 00:18:31,689 --> 00:18:33,965 than anywhere else on the planet. 303 00:18:57,620 --> 00:19:00,137 So, right now, we're almost across the Drake Passage. 304 00:19:00,241 --> 00:19:02,896 We left Ushuaia, Argentina, about two days ago, 305 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,448 and we're heading south-southeast. 306 00:19:07,551 --> 00:19:09,620 Yesterday, the swell in the Drake Passage 307 00:19:09,724 --> 00:19:11,965 was probably about 15 to 18 feet, 308 00:19:12,068 --> 00:19:13,344 about 5 or 6 meters. 309 00:19:13,448 --> 00:19:17,344 The winds were about 20 to 25 knots. 310 00:19:17,448 --> 00:19:20,655 My name's Ari Friedlaender, and my main focus in research 311 00:19:20,758 --> 00:19:24,758 is the foraging ecology of marine mammals. 312 00:19:24,862 --> 00:19:27,241 We're about to get onto the continental shelf 313 00:19:27,344 --> 00:19:29,068 just off the South Shetland Islands, 314 00:19:29,172 --> 00:19:30,896 and we should be in calm waters 315 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,724 and around the Antarctic Peninsula 316 00:19:32,827 --> 00:19:35,689 later tonight, early tomorrow morning. 317 00:19:35,793 --> 00:19:38,034 I'm always excited to come down 318 00:19:38,137 --> 00:19:40,862 knowing that we're gonna be in a place that's unique, 319 00:19:40,965 --> 00:19:42,655 that has tons of whales right now, 320 00:19:42,758 --> 00:19:44,275 and is just the most spectacular 321 00:19:44,379 --> 00:19:46,620 and unique wilderness on the planet. 322 00:19:53,241 --> 00:19:55,344 I grew up on the coast in New England, 323 00:19:55,448 --> 00:19:57,000 and one of the things in New England 324 00:19:57,103 --> 00:19:59,758 that you recognize is that the Yankee whaling industry 325 00:19:59,862 --> 00:20:01,310 was a huge part of why 326 00:20:01,413 --> 00:20:02,793 all of those cities exist there, 327 00:20:02,896 --> 00:20:04,793 and it was a huge reason 328 00:20:04,896 --> 00:20:06,517 why people were able to survive there. 329 00:20:06,620 --> 00:20:08,551 And so I grew up with the knowledge that 330 00:20:08,655 --> 00:20:10,931 whales were really important for people in some way, 331 00:20:11,034 --> 00:20:13,241 but in a commercial way. 332 00:20:17,344 --> 00:20:21,620 The history of the Antarctic is not good. 333 00:20:21,724 --> 00:20:24,517 Humans have been coming down for about 100, 120 years. 334 00:20:24,620 --> 00:20:25,931 Started with exploration 335 00:20:26,034 --> 00:20:29,000 and very quickly moved into whaling. 336 00:20:29,103 --> 00:20:32,379 There weren't factory ships, so when the catches were taken, 337 00:20:32,482 --> 00:20:34,379 they had to find a bay or a sheltered area 338 00:20:34,482 --> 00:20:36,172 for them to flense them out in. 339 00:20:36,275 --> 00:20:38,172 And, actually, a lot of the islands that we go to, 340 00:20:38,275 --> 00:20:39,896 like this one, Deception Island, 341 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,689 was a place where they would kill whales, 342 00:20:41,793 --> 00:20:44,275 drag them into, and then work the carcasses up, 343 00:20:44,379 --> 00:20:46,655 and then leave them here. 344 00:20:46,758 --> 00:20:48,827 In the 20th century, over two million whales 345 00:20:48,931 --> 00:20:50,103 were killed in the Southern Ocean 346 00:20:50,206 --> 00:20:52,068 as part of the commercial whaling industry. 347 00:20:52,172 --> 00:20:54,137 In the area where we're gonna be going, 348 00:20:54,241 --> 00:20:58,137 fin whales, blue whales, sei whales, humpback whales 349 00:20:58,241 --> 00:21:00,517 were all killed in tens of thousands. 350 00:21:00,620 --> 00:21:03,793 In the Southern Ocean, 360,000 blue whales were killed, 351 00:21:03,896 --> 00:21:06,827 over 725,000 fin whales were killed, 352 00:21:06,931 --> 00:21:09,862 over 200,000 humpback whales. 353 00:21:09,965 --> 00:21:13,310 So what we see today is a very scarred ecosystem. 354 00:21:13,413 --> 00:21:14,827 There's been a big open wound 355 00:21:14,931 --> 00:21:17,034 that hasn't really healed very well. 356 00:21:43,344 --> 00:21:46,068 Tara Centurion 2-1-0 Mike Tango is ready on left. 357 00:21:46,172 --> 00:21:48,448 We want a straight-out departure and around the corner, 358 00:21:48,551 --> 00:21:51,034 to point here and back up the coast. 359 00:21:51,137 --> 00:21:52,896 Centurion 2-1-0 Mike Tango. 360 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,655 Wind 3-2-0 at 7 runway. 361 00:21:54,758 --> 00:21:56,034 2-8 local cleared for takeoff, 362 00:21:56,137 --> 00:21:58,344 and that is approved as requested. 363 00:22:00,413 --> 00:22:02,724 I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, 364 00:22:02,827 --> 00:22:04,862 traveling with my father all over the world 365 00:22:04,965 --> 00:22:08,206 to protected areas in the ocean, in Africa, 366 00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:09,896 in the jungle, in the desert. 367 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,379 My father worked for the National Park Service in the US 368 00:22:13,482 --> 00:22:15,448 as an international specialist. 369 00:22:15,551 --> 00:22:17,241 So his job was to go around the world 370 00:22:17,344 --> 00:22:20,034 helping other countries establish their national parks. 371 00:22:20,137 --> 00:22:22,275 And I got to tag along. 372 00:22:22,379 --> 00:22:24,655 So, I learned all about national parks 373 00:22:24,758 --> 00:22:26,931 in Central America and Africa and Europe, 374 00:22:27,034 --> 00:22:28,344 and I learned that 375 00:22:28,448 --> 00:22:30,482 it's such a privilege to be able to work 376 00:22:30,586 --> 00:22:33,241 in some of the best real estate in the world. 377 00:22:36,586 --> 00:22:38,068 When I was 12 years old, 378 00:22:38,172 --> 00:22:41,310 I went with my father to South America to work with 379 00:22:41,413 --> 00:22:45,000 the National Parks and Wildlife officials there. 380 00:22:45,103 --> 00:22:48,379 I got amoebic dysentery in the jungle in Colombia. 381 00:22:48,482 --> 00:22:51,379 I was canoeing through piranha-filled waters, 382 00:22:51,482 --> 00:22:53,379 seeing caimans. 383 00:22:53,482 --> 00:22:56,310 In those days, it was before the environmental laws 384 00:22:56,413 --> 00:22:57,862 were passed in the United States 385 00:22:57,965 --> 00:22:59,413 that prohibited imports of things 386 00:22:59,517 --> 00:23:01,931 like jaguar skins and caiman skins. 387 00:23:02,034 --> 00:23:05,172 So the wildlife trade was booming. 388 00:23:05,275 --> 00:23:08,137 And I remember thinking, you know, this is just wrong. 389 00:23:15,103 --> 00:23:17,586 In Costa Rica, my father worked closely 390 00:23:17,689 --> 00:23:19,103 with the founding fathers 391 00:23:19,206 --> 00:23:20,620 of Costa Rica's national parks, 392 00:23:20,724 --> 00:23:22,482 who designed the entire range 393 00:23:22,586 --> 00:23:24,655 of Costa Rican national parks, 394 00:23:24,758 --> 00:23:25,655 because in those days, 395 00:23:25,758 --> 00:23:27,103 in the '60s and '70s, 396 00:23:27,206 --> 00:23:29,413 those areas were unspoiled, were remote. 397 00:23:29,517 --> 00:23:30,482 Nobody went there. 398 00:23:30,586 --> 00:23:31,793 So they created that 399 00:23:31,896 --> 00:23:33,517 national park network in Costa Rica 400 00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:35,103 before the developers were there 401 00:23:35,206 --> 00:23:37,344 or the poachers or the tourists. 402 00:23:39,724 --> 00:23:43,310 Those national parks are the last really pristine places 403 00:23:43,413 --> 00:23:44,517 in the country. 404 00:23:47,482 --> 00:23:49,758 After growing up in national parks of the world, 405 00:23:49,862 --> 00:23:52,241 I couldn't really do anything but conservation. 406 00:24:04,862 --> 00:24:07,344 Shark fin soup is the centerpiece 407 00:24:07,448 --> 00:24:09,758 of many a Chinese-American banquet. 408 00:24:09,862 --> 00:24:13,965 The delicacy can go for $1,400 a pound. 409 00:24:14,068 --> 00:24:15,586 Now in California, 410 00:24:15,689 --> 00:24:17,827 which has a large Chinese-American population, 411 00:24:17,931 --> 00:24:21,827 lawmakers are debating whether to ban the sale of shark fin. 412 00:24:21,931 --> 00:24:23,586 Are you guys getting this? 413 00:24:23,689 --> 00:24:26,310 This is absolutely insane. 414 00:24:28,793 --> 00:24:31,103 This is a quality cuisine. 415 00:24:37,034 --> 00:24:39,068 The most valuable part of the shark is the fin. 416 00:24:39,172 --> 00:24:41,068 It's a little bit like the African elephant. 417 00:24:41,172 --> 00:24:43,241 The most valuable part of the elephant is the ivory, 418 00:24:43,344 --> 00:24:44,620 not the meat or the hide. 419 00:24:44,724 --> 00:24:46,068 Well, it's the same with sharks. 420 00:24:46,172 --> 00:24:47,862 There's a big trade in shark fins. 421 00:24:47,965 --> 00:24:49,206 And if we don't do something 422 00:24:49,310 --> 00:24:51,758 to reduce the killing of sharks worldwide, 423 00:24:51,862 --> 00:24:53,448 we're going to lose certain sharks 424 00:24:53,551 --> 00:24:55,827 very quickly on our watch. 425 00:24:55,931 --> 00:24:58,068 We introduced a bill in 2011 426 00:24:58,172 --> 00:25:00,620 when I was working at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. 427 00:25:00,724 --> 00:25:02,241 We sponsored the bill 428 00:25:02,344 --> 00:25:04,862 to ban the shark fin trade. 429 00:25:04,965 --> 00:25:07,482 In May of this year, the state assembly agreed 430 00:25:07,586 --> 00:25:11,862 to ban the sale of the fins used to make shark fin soup 431 00:25:11,965 --> 00:25:13,931 by a vote of 62-8. 432 00:25:14,034 --> 00:25:15,758 One supporter was Michael Sutton. 433 00:25:15,862 --> 00:25:18,344 He is vice president of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, 434 00:25:18,448 --> 00:25:20,000 and he helped write the legislation. 435 00:25:20,103 --> 00:25:21,758 Michael Sutton, good to have you on our program. 436 00:25:21,862 --> 00:25:24,793 Good afternoon. Why is this important? 437 00:25:24,896 --> 00:25:26,448 Well, it's important for a number of reasons. 438 00:25:26,551 --> 00:25:27,793 First of all, sharks are 439 00:25:27,896 --> 00:25:29,379 the lions and tigers of the sea, 440 00:25:29,482 --> 00:25:31,241 They're the top predators on which the entire 441 00:25:31,344 --> 00:25:32,689 ocean ecosystem depends, 442 00:25:32,793 --> 00:25:35,793 and they're in trouble. 443 00:25:35,896 --> 00:25:38,448 My husband, Ted, and I own Passion Fish, 444 00:25:38,551 --> 00:25:40,344 and Ted is our chef. 445 00:25:40,448 --> 00:25:42,103 We opened in 1997, 446 00:25:42,206 --> 00:25:43,724 long before sustainable seafood 447 00:25:43,827 --> 00:25:46,517 was even a common household word. 448 00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:48,896 Passion Fish has never served shark fin, 449 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,793 but it was really important moving forward 450 00:25:50,896 --> 00:25:53,793 in the legislation to have restaurateurs 451 00:25:53,896 --> 00:25:56,724 supporting the ban on the shark fins. 452 00:25:56,827 --> 00:25:59,724 We were a part of that as far as putting together 453 00:25:59,827 --> 00:26:03,000 letter-writing campaigns and being one of the restaurants 454 00:26:03,103 --> 00:26:06,344 who signed on to say that it should be boycotted. 455 00:26:06,448 --> 00:26:08,517 More than 90% of all of the sharks 456 00:26:08,620 --> 00:26:10,517 have already been pulled out of the ocean, 457 00:26:10,620 --> 00:26:13,758 and I don't think anybody has a complete understanding 458 00:26:13,862 --> 00:26:19,103 of how that's going to affect the balance of the ocean. 459 00:26:19,206 --> 00:26:22,689 My grandfather and my father both fished sharks -- 460 00:26:22,793 --> 00:26:24,758 sevengill, thresher sharks. 461 00:26:24,862 --> 00:26:27,620 Those were really big fisheries here. 462 00:26:27,724 --> 00:26:29,931 By the late '60s, early '70s, 463 00:26:30,034 --> 00:26:31,551 both my grandfather and my father 464 00:26:31,655 --> 00:26:34,206 stopped fishing the sharks and refused to fish them. 465 00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:36,068 You have these old fishermen 466 00:26:36,172 --> 00:26:38,586 who are just so tied to the environment, 467 00:26:38,689 --> 00:26:41,172 and they realize what is happening. 468 00:26:43,068 --> 00:26:44,241 We're on our way. 469 00:26:44,344 --> 00:26:46,034 I think it was a very important thing 470 00:26:46,137 --> 00:26:47,275 to do here in California 471 00:26:47,379 --> 00:26:49,137 to send a signal to the rest of the world, 472 00:26:49,241 --> 00:26:50,931 we need to do more to protect sharks. 473 00:27:01,448 --> 00:27:03,275 California Redwood State Park, 474 00:27:03,379 --> 00:27:05,413 consisting of some 10,000 acres, 475 00:27:05,517 --> 00:27:07,000 mostly Redwood Forest, 476 00:27:07,103 --> 00:27:08,448 two and one half hour's distant 477 00:27:08,551 --> 00:27:11,275 from San Francisco in Santa Cruz County, 478 00:27:11,379 --> 00:27:15,034 was the first California state park to be established, 479 00:27:15,137 --> 00:27:16,896 saved forever from the axe, 480 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,862 to fill those who behold them 481 00:27:18,965 --> 00:27:22,275 with awe and reverence. 482 00:27:22,379 --> 00:27:25,896 The idea of protecting areas is not new. 483 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,758 In 1870, California established Yosemite 484 00:27:28,862 --> 00:27:31,482 as a state park up in the Sierra. 485 00:27:31,586 --> 00:27:33,137 It wasn't the first national park, 486 00:27:33,241 --> 00:27:36,241 but it was probably the first major protected area 487 00:27:36,344 --> 00:27:38,655 set aside by the United States. 488 00:27:38,758 --> 00:27:40,068 Took us a lot longer to decide 489 00:27:40,172 --> 00:27:42,241 to protect our ocean resources. 490 00:28:03,034 --> 00:28:05,137 I cut my teeth on coral reef conservation 491 00:28:05,241 --> 00:28:07,275 about 40 years ago, working 492 00:28:07,379 --> 00:28:10,275 with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. 493 00:28:10,379 --> 00:28:12,068 The Marine Park had just been established 494 00:28:12,172 --> 00:28:14,586 along the 200 miles of coastline 495 00:28:14,689 --> 00:28:16,068 of Queensland. 496 00:28:16,172 --> 00:28:18,482 It was part of a new idea -- 497 00:28:18,586 --> 00:28:21,620 protecting vast areas of our oceans, 498 00:28:21,724 --> 00:28:23,413 just as we have our land. 499 00:28:23,517 --> 00:28:28,103 The first national parks were in the United States, 500 00:28:28,206 --> 00:28:29,551 and Yellowstone was the first. 501 00:28:29,655 --> 00:28:31,689 And then the next world park was, 502 00:28:31,793 --> 00:28:34,620 in fact, Royal National, as far as I can see. 503 00:28:34,724 --> 00:28:37,137 So we started very early in Australia, 504 00:28:37,241 --> 00:28:38,793 about the turn of the last century 505 00:28:38,896 --> 00:28:40,862 when we started with national parks, 506 00:28:40,965 --> 00:28:43,413 and that process took a long time to grow, really. 507 00:28:43,517 --> 00:28:45,068 It wasn't quick, 508 00:28:45,172 --> 00:28:49,275 but the marine side really didn't do well at all. 509 00:28:49,379 --> 00:28:51,689 There was a big push to have 510 00:28:51,793 --> 00:28:56,034 the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park started. 511 00:28:56,137 --> 00:29:00,586 It was an emotional pull that the greatest world Barrier Reef 512 00:29:00,689 --> 00:29:02,965 had on Australians. 513 00:29:10,862 --> 00:29:12,172 Out here behind us is 514 00:29:12,275 --> 00:29:13,896 the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage area, 515 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,068 which is, in my view, one of the most important 516 00:29:16,172 --> 00:29:19,275 World Heritage areas on the planet. 517 00:29:19,379 --> 00:29:21,241 This was by far the largest, 518 00:29:21,344 --> 00:29:22,620 most of the protected areas in the world 519 00:29:22,724 --> 00:29:25,620 were pocket handkerchiefs compared to this. 520 00:29:25,724 --> 00:29:28,034 Decades after the '70s, Australia was regarded 521 00:29:28,137 --> 00:29:30,310 as the world leader in marine management. 522 00:29:30,413 --> 00:29:33,758 It was declared a marine park in 1975, 523 00:29:33,862 --> 00:29:35,551 when the act was passed to protect it. 524 00:29:35,655 --> 00:29:36,965 And the reason that act came into being 525 00:29:37,068 --> 00:29:38,275 was to protect it from things, 526 00:29:38,379 --> 00:29:41,758 like oil drilling and limestone mining. 527 00:29:41,862 --> 00:29:43,827 Later on, there was a movement 528 00:29:43,931 --> 00:29:47,413 to declare the GBR as a World Heritage list. 529 00:29:47,517 --> 00:29:51,413 I think I can claim a little bit of involvement in that. 530 00:29:51,517 --> 00:29:53,413 Malcolm Fraser, the then prime minister, 531 00:29:53,517 --> 00:29:55,758 was staying at Lizard Island Resort. 532 00:29:55,862 --> 00:29:57,379 We gave him a diving lesson 533 00:29:57,482 --> 00:30:00,241 on the way out to the outer barrier 534 00:30:00,344 --> 00:30:04,241 and showed him a beautiful part of the reef. 535 00:30:04,344 --> 00:30:06,103 I think if you actually see 536 00:30:06,206 --> 00:30:09,310 and actually experience a large fish gone past you, 537 00:30:09,413 --> 00:30:12,068 it makes quite an impact. 538 00:30:12,172 --> 00:30:15,068 It took a long time to set up good marine parks 539 00:30:15,172 --> 00:30:17,965 and perhaps the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park 540 00:30:18,068 --> 00:30:20,758 might have been the kick off to it all. 541 00:30:44,172 --> 00:30:45,413 This action will create 542 00:30:45,517 --> 00:30:47,137 the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 543 00:30:47,241 --> 00:30:49,103 Marine National Monument, 544 00:30:49,206 --> 00:30:51,655 the largest single conservation area 545 00:30:51,758 --> 00:30:53,655 in the history of our country 546 00:30:53,758 --> 00:30:57,724 and the largest protected marine area in the world. 547 00:30:57,827 --> 00:31:00,379 The Palau National Marine Sanctuary 548 00:31:00,482 --> 00:31:02,896 is our contribution 549 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,413 to the global effort to restore our oceans. 550 00:31:07,517 --> 00:31:10,310 It's time for the world to turn a corner 551 00:31:10,413 --> 00:31:12,000 on the protection of our oceans, 552 00:31:12,103 --> 00:31:15,551 and Australia today leads that next step 553 00:31:15,655 --> 00:31:18,310 with the most comprehensive network of marine parks 554 00:31:18,413 --> 00:31:20,448 in the world. 555 00:31:20,551 --> 00:31:22,482 Now there is competition among country leaders 556 00:31:22,586 --> 00:31:24,137 to create marine reserves. 557 00:31:24,241 --> 00:31:26,103 It's so great to see leaders 558 00:31:26,206 --> 00:31:27,689 come into confidence and saying, 559 00:31:27,793 --> 00:31:29,172 "I'm announcing this reserve, 560 00:31:29,275 --> 00:31:30,586 which is bigger than yours." 561 00:31:30,689 --> 00:31:32,206 Just last month, we created the largest 562 00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:34,551 marine protected area on earth. 563 00:31:34,655 --> 00:31:38,620 It is now twice the size of Texas. 564 00:32:00,241 --> 00:32:02,793 Geopolitically, south of 60 degrees is 565 00:32:02,896 --> 00:32:04,655 what's considered the Southern Ocean. 566 00:32:04,758 --> 00:32:07,379 That entire area is governed by the Antarctic Treaty, 567 00:32:07,482 --> 00:32:10,482 which affords it certain levels of protection already. 568 00:32:10,586 --> 00:32:12,689 It's countries that have come together 569 00:32:12,793 --> 00:32:14,862 and signed a particular agreement to say, 570 00:32:14,965 --> 00:32:16,275 below this latitude, 571 00:32:16,379 --> 00:32:18,275 all of this land and all of this ocean 572 00:32:18,379 --> 00:32:21,655 is to be preserved peacefully and for science. 573 00:32:21,758 --> 00:32:24,689 So every country that has signed on to that agreement 574 00:32:24,793 --> 00:32:27,551 has kept the Antarctic as pristine as possible 575 00:32:27,655 --> 00:32:29,724 and that our footprints are the only things that we leave 576 00:32:29,827 --> 00:32:32,551 when we come and visit. 577 00:32:32,655 --> 00:32:35,793 Commercial whaling was outlawed and banned in the 1980s, 578 00:32:35,896 --> 00:32:37,896 but there is a commercial krill fishery. 579 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,517 The most recent marine protected area 580 00:32:39,620 --> 00:32:41,413 that was established in the Ross Sea 581 00:32:41,517 --> 00:32:43,310 came into being to try and mitigate 582 00:32:43,413 --> 00:32:45,551 some of the increases in fishing activity 583 00:32:45,655 --> 00:32:47,689 that are occurring in that part of the Antarctic 584 00:32:47,793 --> 00:32:50,379 in areas that are critical to the life history 585 00:32:50,482 --> 00:32:53,551 of other krill predators, like penguins and whales. 586 00:32:56,689 --> 00:32:58,241 Generating a marine protected area 587 00:32:58,344 --> 00:32:59,241 is not easy at all. 588 00:32:59,344 --> 00:33:00,620 Honestly, the easy part is 589 00:33:00,724 --> 00:33:03,517 probably finding out where that area is. 590 00:33:03,620 --> 00:33:05,896 The hard part is then getting people to come together 591 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,275 to agree on a set of rules. 592 00:33:10,931 --> 00:33:13,620 Can't just be one or two countries that say, 593 00:33:13,724 --> 00:33:15,241 "Okay, this needs to be done." 594 00:33:15,344 --> 00:33:18,862 It has to be shared by as many countries as possible, 595 00:33:18,965 --> 00:33:21,241 and especially in the case of Antarctica. 596 00:33:21,344 --> 00:33:22,827 Yes, it is a lot of work, 597 00:33:22,931 --> 00:33:24,827 and yes, it is a lot of negotiation 598 00:33:24,931 --> 00:33:28,068 and shuttle diplomacy. 599 00:33:28,172 --> 00:33:30,103 And I was very happy that Monaco played 600 00:33:30,206 --> 00:33:32,724 a small part in that. 601 00:33:32,827 --> 00:33:35,448 The impact that the MPA in the Ross Sea 602 00:33:35,551 --> 00:33:38,517 is going to have will be felt down the line, for sure. 603 00:33:38,620 --> 00:33:40,827 It shows what you can do, what people can do, 604 00:33:40,931 --> 00:33:43,206 if you can come together and agree on things. 605 00:33:43,310 --> 00:33:45,620 There's a blueprint. There's a plan in place. 606 00:33:45,724 --> 00:33:47,241 People have done this before. 607 00:33:47,344 --> 00:33:49,206 You should be able to do this. 608 00:34:17,655 --> 00:34:19,724 So this tag, we're not gonna deploy. 609 00:34:19,827 --> 00:34:21,137 We're not happy with that. 610 00:34:21,241 --> 00:34:22,931 I don't think we can get the video off of that. 611 00:34:23,034 --> 00:34:24,655 So we're kind of down to this one 612 00:34:24,758 --> 00:34:26,862 for the standard video tag. 613 00:34:33,379 --> 00:34:36,310 We're looking to spend the next five or six days 614 00:34:36,413 --> 00:34:38,448 in a number of the different sheltered bays 615 00:34:38,551 --> 00:34:39,862 around the Antarctic Peninsula 616 00:34:39,965 --> 00:34:41,517 and around the Gerlache Strait area 617 00:34:41,620 --> 00:34:43,655 and Bransfield Strait. 618 00:34:51,034 --> 00:34:53,689 It's a unique trip because it's so late in the season, 619 00:34:53,793 --> 00:34:55,551 and this is our last opportunity 620 00:34:55,655 --> 00:34:57,310 to be able to work with these animals 621 00:34:57,413 --> 00:34:59,448 and view these animals and just get an idea 622 00:34:59,551 --> 00:35:01,310 about what they're doing this part of the year 623 00:35:01,413 --> 00:35:03,689 until we get back down here next December. 624 00:35:08,827 --> 00:35:11,551 It is absolutely critical that we spend every moment 625 00:35:11,655 --> 00:35:13,344 that we have doing work. 626 00:35:13,448 --> 00:35:15,068 Conditions can change very quickly. 627 00:35:15,172 --> 00:35:16,862 So, if we have two landings a day 628 00:35:16,965 --> 00:35:18,103 where we're out on the water 629 00:35:18,206 --> 00:35:19,724 for three or four hours at a time, 630 00:35:19,827 --> 00:35:21,344 we've got to make absolute use 631 00:35:21,448 --> 00:35:23,310 of all of that time. 632 00:35:28,241 --> 00:35:29,655 So on this trip, we have a number 633 00:35:29,758 --> 00:35:31,241 of scientific objectives. 634 00:35:31,344 --> 00:35:33,862 We've been down for the last month deploying tags 635 00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:36,620 and collecting biopsy samples. 636 00:35:36,724 --> 00:35:38,379 Additionally, we have a drone, 637 00:35:38,482 --> 00:35:39,827 and we're trying to collect images 638 00:35:39,931 --> 00:35:41,931 of about 30 humpback whales 639 00:35:42,034 --> 00:35:44,344 so that we can look at the length as well as the width 640 00:35:44,448 --> 00:35:47,103 and tell something about body condition. 641 00:35:47,206 --> 00:35:49,931 From my research and the things that me and my colleagues do, 642 00:35:50,034 --> 00:35:54,137 I think the thing that we can show in a very simple way is, 643 00:35:54,241 --> 00:35:56,172 here are the areas in the Antarctic Peninsula 644 00:35:56,275 --> 00:35:57,620 where whales feed, 645 00:35:57,724 --> 00:35:59,965 and these are critical for these populations 646 00:36:00,068 --> 00:36:01,689 to persist and to thrive. 647 00:36:01,793 --> 00:36:03,034 And we can very simply on a map, 648 00:36:03,137 --> 00:36:04,448 show you where those animals go 649 00:36:04,551 --> 00:36:05,862 and where they feed. 650 00:36:05,965 --> 00:36:08,827 And if you are interested in removing conflict 651 00:36:08,931 --> 00:36:10,724 with any kind of human activity, 652 00:36:10,827 --> 00:36:13,689 here's a very simple way to show where whales are. 653 00:36:18,586 --> 00:36:20,206 There's something very basic 654 00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:23,448 and very humbling about being close to an animal like a whale. 655 00:36:23,551 --> 00:36:26,551 They're enormous. 656 00:36:26,655 --> 00:36:29,137 You have to be in a small boat. You have to be on the water. 657 00:36:29,241 --> 00:36:32,206 You have to hear the breath, smell it, even feel it on you, 658 00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:33,758 and see an animal 659 00:36:33,862 --> 00:36:36,034 that's three times the size of your small boat, 660 00:36:36,137 --> 00:36:37,758 that weighs 50 tons, 661 00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:40,310 that has an eye that has got a big brain behind it, 662 00:36:40,413 --> 00:36:43,103 that is thinking about things, that's curious. 663 00:36:47,137 --> 00:36:49,275 To see these animals in their own habitat 664 00:36:49,379 --> 00:36:52,551 and acting and behaving in a way that they've evolved to do 665 00:36:52,655 --> 00:36:54,344 is quite humbling. 666 00:37:34,655 --> 00:37:36,448 When we woke up this morning, we were heading south, 667 00:37:36,551 --> 00:37:37,931 towards the Lemaire Channel. 668 00:37:38,034 --> 00:37:40,068 It's pretty foggy, a little misty even, 669 00:37:40,172 --> 00:37:43,689 a little bit of snow and rain mix coming down. 670 00:37:43,793 --> 00:37:47,379 The radar is showing a large iceberg ahead. 671 00:37:47,482 --> 00:37:52,206 About 1 mile just coming out of the fog. 672 00:37:52,310 --> 00:37:54,482 And as we approach the Lemaire, 673 00:37:54,586 --> 00:37:56,068 which is a very tight channel, 674 00:37:56,172 --> 00:37:58,275 it was pretty clear there was some ice farther in, 675 00:37:58,379 --> 00:38:00,862 so we gave it a go, couldn't see a whole lot. 676 00:38:00,965 --> 00:38:03,586 As it got lighter, we could see the icebergs. 677 00:38:03,689 --> 00:38:06,379 And it was basically all the way across the Lemaire Channel, 678 00:38:06,482 --> 00:38:08,172 which is very narrow to begin with. 679 00:38:08,275 --> 00:38:10,551 There wasn't enough room for us to pass through. 680 00:38:10,655 --> 00:38:12,000 So we had to turn around, and we're gonna go back 681 00:38:12,103 --> 00:38:15,000 and try and locate another place for us to go to. 682 00:38:17,275 --> 00:38:19,551 With the work that we do, we're following the whales, 683 00:38:19,655 --> 00:38:21,551 and we're following the weather and the conditions. 684 00:38:21,655 --> 00:38:24,931 So, we can plan all we want for where we want to go, 685 00:38:25,034 --> 00:38:26,931 but it's not up to us. 686 00:38:52,965 --> 00:38:54,586 Right now, we're at Palmer Station. 687 00:38:54,689 --> 00:38:58,379 We're on the south side of Anvers Island. 688 00:38:58,482 --> 00:39:00,517 I think this area is a wonderful representative 689 00:39:00,620 --> 00:39:02,896 for the impact of climate change. 690 00:39:07,068 --> 00:39:08,758 The glacier behind me, the Mar Glacier, 691 00:39:08,862 --> 00:39:10,137 has been receding 692 00:39:10,241 --> 00:39:12,586 since this station has been erected here 693 00:39:12,689 --> 00:39:15,965 and the face of climate change is the face of that glacier. 694 00:39:28,793 --> 00:39:30,862 In my mind, one of the places that's the most critical 695 00:39:30,965 --> 00:39:33,068 for protection is the Antarctic Peninsula. 696 00:39:33,172 --> 00:39:36,827 The water there is much warmer now than it was 50 years ago. 697 00:39:36,931 --> 00:39:38,034 The number of days that are covered 698 00:39:38,137 --> 00:39:39,931 by sea ice is decreasing. 699 00:39:40,034 --> 00:39:41,965 It's also changing really quickly. 700 00:39:42,068 --> 00:39:45,344 It's a region that is heavily utilized by baleen whales, 701 00:39:45,448 --> 00:39:48,034 by penguins, by sea birds, and by seals, 702 00:39:48,137 --> 00:39:51,068 and it's a critical area for krill populations. 703 00:39:51,172 --> 00:39:53,482 And if we have an opportunity to sort of stop things 704 00:39:53,586 --> 00:39:56,551 before they get going in terms of heavy exploitation, 705 00:39:56,655 --> 00:39:58,137 we have that responsibility. 706 00:40:31,413 --> 00:40:33,551 Today, in June 2017, 707 00:40:33,655 --> 00:40:37,413 only 3.5% of the ocean is under protection, 708 00:40:37,517 --> 00:40:39,655 compared to 15% of the land. 709 00:40:39,758 --> 00:40:42,827 The United Nations has a target of 10% of the ocean 710 00:40:42,931 --> 00:40:44,620 protected by 2020. 711 00:40:44,724 --> 00:40:45,931 But still, this is not enough. 712 00:40:46,034 --> 00:40:47,827 Scientific studies recommend 713 00:40:47,931 --> 00:40:49,689 that we should protect a third of the ocean, 714 00:40:49,793 --> 00:40:52,275 30% by 2030. 715 00:40:52,379 --> 00:40:54,068 And some people are suggesting 716 00:40:54,172 --> 00:40:55,586 that we even should think 717 00:40:55,689 --> 00:40:59,344 of half of the ocean protected by 2050. 718 00:41:17,965 --> 00:41:20,689 I used to be a professor of marine biology 719 00:41:20,793 --> 00:41:22,517 at the University of California, 720 00:41:22,620 --> 00:41:25,103 describing how the ocean was dying, 721 00:41:25,206 --> 00:41:27,482 writing the obituary of the ocean again and again 722 00:41:27,586 --> 00:41:28,724 with more precision, 723 00:41:28,827 --> 00:41:30,344 and I decided to quit that 724 00:41:30,448 --> 00:41:32,862 and work on the cure to this problem, 725 00:41:32,965 --> 00:41:36,413 to help protect the wildest places in the ocean. 726 00:41:40,137 --> 00:41:43,965 We have inspired governments to protect 13 of them, 727 00:41:44,068 --> 00:41:47,862 covering an area of 4.5 million square kilometers. 728 00:42:17,241 --> 00:42:22,034 This week, we have been at the first U.N. ocean conference 729 00:42:22,137 --> 00:42:24,275 where the world is getting together to make a plan 730 00:42:24,379 --> 00:42:27,103 to agree on what should be the future of the ocean. 731 00:42:27,206 --> 00:42:30,103 Bound by compassion and empathy, 732 00:42:30,206 --> 00:42:34,344 we'll come together to make a great sea of change. 733 00:42:34,448 --> 00:42:37,724 As this conference clearly demonstrates, 734 00:42:37,827 --> 00:42:40,931 there's plenty of reason for hope in the face 735 00:42:41,034 --> 00:42:44,517 of what seems to be a lot of despair. 736 00:42:44,620 --> 00:42:48,758 We know that there are actions that we can take. 737 00:42:48,862 --> 00:42:52,689 And the new binding treaty for high-seas biodiversity 738 00:42:52,793 --> 00:42:54,689 can, to borrow a phrase, 739 00:42:54,793 --> 00:42:58,068 be the next giant leap for humankind. 740 00:42:58,172 --> 00:42:59,793 It may make it possible to create 741 00:42:59,896 --> 00:43:02,172 marine protected areas on the high seas 742 00:43:02,275 --> 00:43:05,827 and protect their resources for the shared benefit of all. 743 00:43:05,931 --> 00:43:09,137 I urge the people charged with negotiating this treaty, 744 00:43:09,241 --> 00:43:11,724 many of whom are no doubt in this room today, 745 00:43:11,827 --> 00:43:13,000 to be bold, 746 00:43:13,103 --> 00:43:15,172 to give this treaty teeth and vision 747 00:43:15,275 --> 00:43:19,517 and make it a game changing Paris Agreement for the ocean. 748 00:43:19,620 --> 00:43:24,103 I was honored to be with Prince Albert II of Monaco 749 00:43:24,206 --> 00:43:26,896 at the press conference, launching their renewal project, 750 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,034 the Monaco Exploration. 751 00:43:29,137 --> 00:43:31,862 And the explorations of Monaco are going to help 752 00:43:31,965 --> 00:43:33,862 to set some of these ecological baselines 753 00:43:33,965 --> 00:43:35,931 for what the ocean used to be like. 754 00:43:36,034 --> 00:43:39,379 But most important, to help to increase 755 00:43:39,482 --> 00:43:42,413 the amount of the ocean that is currently protected. 756 00:43:42,517 --> 00:43:43,758 The principality of Monaco, 757 00:43:43,862 --> 00:43:46,103 whose entire horizon faces the sea, 758 00:43:46,206 --> 00:43:48,103 has always chosen to protect the oceans 759 00:43:48,206 --> 00:43:50,827 with the collaboration of scientists. 760 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,482 You can feel that there is a lot of goodwill 761 00:43:58,586 --> 00:43:59,931 and a lot of good energy, 762 00:44:00,034 --> 00:44:02,793 and I hope this will continue in the future, 763 00:44:02,896 --> 00:44:06,206 because we have a lot of work at hand 764 00:44:06,310 --> 00:44:08,137 if we want to save our oceans. 765 00:44:14,896 --> 00:44:17,655 Big feature of this week was not only to meet 766 00:44:17,758 --> 00:44:19,344 other countries and other organizations 767 00:44:19,448 --> 00:44:21,344 and the other stakeholders that are here, 768 00:44:21,448 --> 00:44:23,862 but also to get them interested and get support, 769 00:44:23,965 --> 00:44:26,655 and very emotional for me, as well. 770 00:44:28,689 --> 00:44:31,482 The Monaco Explorations is also a connection to the past 771 00:44:31,586 --> 00:44:34,344 and to what my great, great grandfather, Prince Albert I, 772 00:44:34,448 --> 00:44:36,413 tried to do over 100 years ago, 773 00:44:36,517 --> 00:44:39,965 to put his vessels at the disposal of scientists. 774 00:44:46,137 --> 00:44:50,586 At a very young age, I remember being in contact with the sea 775 00:44:50,689 --> 00:44:53,689 and swimming in the Mediterranean 776 00:44:53,793 --> 00:44:55,379 and snorkeling. 777 00:44:55,482 --> 00:44:57,655 You know, that only enhances your love 778 00:44:57,758 --> 00:44:59,482 and being curious about the sea 779 00:44:59,586 --> 00:45:02,137 and all living creatures that live in it. 780 00:45:05,724 --> 00:45:08,551 The great figure of our family is Prince Albert I, 781 00:45:08,655 --> 00:45:10,344 and his not only love for the sea, 782 00:45:10,448 --> 00:45:12,655 but his interest in science and a different sciences 783 00:45:12,758 --> 00:45:15,482 and marine sciences, of course, 784 00:45:15,586 --> 00:45:19,241 'cause he was one of the great promoters of oceanography, 785 00:45:19,344 --> 00:45:21,620 and he really spearheaded a whole movement 786 00:45:21,724 --> 00:45:23,448 to care more about the oceans. 787 00:45:23,551 --> 00:45:24,896 And, of course, founded 788 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,655 the Oceanographic Institute in Paris, 789 00:45:26,758 --> 00:45:28,793 the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, 790 00:45:28,896 --> 00:45:31,655 and led different expeditions himself, 791 00:45:31,758 --> 00:45:34,482 some 25 different expeditions 792 00:45:34,586 --> 00:45:36,310 in the Mediterranean, in the Atlantic, 793 00:45:36,413 --> 00:45:38,482 and in the Arctic Oceans. 794 00:45:43,206 --> 00:45:45,310 But also, if you look at the writings 795 00:45:45,413 --> 00:45:47,620 of my great, great grandfather, Prince Albert I, 796 00:45:47,724 --> 00:45:49,137 it was 100 years ago. 797 00:45:49,241 --> 00:45:51,275 He was the first to talk about the dangers 798 00:45:51,379 --> 00:45:54,310 of possible overfishing in the Atlantic mostly, 799 00:45:54,413 --> 00:45:56,482 the need to protect certain species, 800 00:45:56,586 --> 00:45:59,068 the need for some sort of protected areas, 801 00:45:59,172 --> 00:46:03,103 both on land and at sea. 802 00:46:03,206 --> 00:46:06,517 So his vision and his legacy has, of course, 803 00:46:06,620 --> 00:46:09,137 inspired the generations that followed. 804 00:46:16,034 --> 00:46:18,137 He has spent his career 805 00:46:18,241 --> 00:46:21,172 doing whatever he can do to protect the ocean. 806 00:46:21,275 --> 00:46:22,896 Just six years ago 807 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,137 when the Mediterranean bluefin tuna stocks 808 00:46:26,241 --> 00:46:29,793 were in serious trouble because of uncontrolled fishing, 809 00:46:29,896 --> 00:46:31,655 Prince Albert was among the first people 810 00:46:31,758 --> 00:46:34,241 to bring the issue to the world stage 811 00:46:34,344 --> 00:46:38,620 and called for a solution to protect the species. 812 00:46:41,034 --> 00:46:44,517 Any intention in any project to have more 813 00:46:44,620 --> 00:46:46,758 marine protected areas around the world, 814 00:46:46,862 --> 00:46:49,620 be they in the Mediterranean, in the Atlantic, in the Pacific, 815 00:46:49,724 --> 00:46:52,000 in the Indian Ocean, in the Arctic Ocean, 816 00:46:52,103 --> 00:46:53,344 or around Antarctica 817 00:46:53,448 --> 00:46:55,655 is vitally important. 818 00:47:19,689 --> 00:47:22,517 The laws are human conventions. 819 00:47:22,620 --> 00:47:24,310 It's not a natural thing. 820 00:47:24,413 --> 00:47:26,517 It's not an asteroid about to hit the earth, 821 00:47:26,620 --> 00:47:29,620 or climate changing, or things like that. 822 00:47:29,724 --> 00:47:31,517 It's just agreements among people, 823 00:47:31,620 --> 00:47:33,620 and those can be changed. 824 00:47:37,896 --> 00:47:41,275 We are still a small portion of humanity 825 00:47:41,379 --> 00:47:44,655 trying to fight for our own environment, 826 00:47:44,758 --> 00:47:46,620 which we are a part of. 827 00:47:46,724 --> 00:47:50,793 We might think that battle is so uphill that it's impossible. 828 00:47:50,896 --> 00:47:52,206 I think we have to try. 829 00:47:52,310 --> 00:47:53,586 I think the moment is coming, 830 00:47:53,689 --> 00:47:55,413 and the more we go forward, 831 00:47:55,517 --> 00:47:57,862 eventually things will change. 832 00:47:57,965 --> 00:48:00,517 The point is, when? 833 00:48:06,724 --> 00:48:11,172 Long time ago, in the 2nd of March of 1991, 834 00:48:11,275 --> 00:48:16,379 I presented the idea of the Pelagos Sanctuary in Monaco 835 00:48:16,482 --> 00:48:19,172 in the presence of Prince Rainier III, 836 00:48:19,275 --> 00:48:21,862 the father of Prince Albert II. 837 00:48:21,965 --> 00:48:23,862 It's not a very wise thing to do, 838 00:48:23,965 --> 00:48:27,000 but in the end, it paid. 839 00:48:27,103 --> 00:48:30,448 In those years, Italian driftnet fishing for swordfish 840 00:48:30,551 --> 00:48:31,827 was running amok here. 841 00:48:31,931 --> 00:48:33,482 There were hundreds of boats, 842 00:48:33,586 --> 00:48:35,862 tens of thousands of kilometers of net, 843 00:48:35,965 --> 00:48:37,758 and the animals were dying. 844 00:48:40,275 --> 00:48:42,793 We started thinking about the necessity 845 00:48:42,896 --> 00:48:45,586 of establishing a protected area here, 846 00:48:45,689 --> 00:48:49,551 which was, you know, going well beyond the territorial waters 847 00:48:49,655 --> 00:48:52,206 of any of the countries that are "boundaring" here -- 848 00:48:52,310 --> 00:48:54,379 Italy, Monaco Principality, 849 00:48:54,482 --> 00:48:55,793 and France. 850 00:48:58,896 --> 00:49:01,172 Everybody said, "That's a very stupid idea. 851 00:49:01,275 --> 00:49:03,758 I mean, you cannot possibly establish 852 00:49:03,862 --> 00:49:07,965 a marine protected area outside of a national jurisdiction." 853 00:49:12,896 --> 00:49:14,965 If you are really convinced about something, 854 00:49:15,068 --> 00:49:17,172 I think you should go for the fight. 855 00:49:47,517 --> 00:49:49,758 When we talk about the things that worry us, 856 00:49:49,862 --> 00:49:52,275 we tend to give the bad news. 857 00:49:56,103 --> 00:49:59,275 But we should try not to indulge too much 858 00:49:59,379 --> 00:50:01,586 into saying only the things that go bad, 859 00:50:01,689 --> 00:50:03,275 because there are things that go well, 860 00:50:03,379 --> 00:50:05,068 and when we have a chance, 861 00:50:05,172 --> 00:50:07,862 we should certainly celebrate them. 862 00:50:12,896 --> 00:50:15,551 In late June of this year, 863 00:50:15,655 --> 00:50:17,689 I had the great chance 864 00:50:17,793 --> 00:50:21,689 of visiting the whales in the Pelagos Sanctuary 865 00:50:21,793 --> 00:50:24,862 with Prince Albert II of Monaco. 866 00:50:37,448 --> 00:50:39,172 Well, we are here, tens of miles 867 00:50:39,275 --> 00:50:42,068 off of the Southern French coast 868 00:50:42,172 --> 00:50:44,482 and, of course, not far from Monaco. 869 00:50:44,586 --> 00:50:48,137 We are in a very rich area of the Pelagos Sanctuary, 870 00:50:48,241 --> 00:50:51,931 which is an area that covers 87,500 square kilometers 871 00:50:52,034 --> 00:50:54,344 between France, Italy, and Monaco, 872 00:50:54,448 --> 00:50:56,862 and it's the first marine mammal sanctuary 873 00:50:56,965 --> 00:50:58,655 in the Mediterranean of its kind. 874 00:50:58,758 --> 00:51:01,241 It was very difficult to set up. 875 00:51:06,275 --> 00:51:09,172 I followed it from my father and through the different steps 876 00:51:09,275 --> 00:51:11,310 that led up to the final document, 877 00:51:11,413 --> 00:51:15,034 the establishing of the sanctuary. 878 00:51:15,137 --> 00:51:16,724 20 some odd years later, 879 00:51:16,827 --> 00:51:18,931 we can really see the difference. 880 00:51:22,793 --> 00:51:25,103 Professor Notarbartolo, who led this effort, 881 00:51:25,206 --> 00:51:27,896 convinced others to finally sign that agreement 882 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,586 in Brussels in 1993 883 00:51:29,689 --> 00:51:32,586 to establish this very special sanctuary 884 00:51:32,689 --> 00:51:35,551 for marine mammals here in the Mediterranean. 885 00:52:06,034 --> 00:52:08,137 So international waters, 886 00:52:08,241 --> 00:52:10,827 by definition, you know, there is no jurisdiction 887 00:52:10,931 --> 00:52:13,482 and no power of establishing anything. 888 00:52:13,586 --> 00:52:15,379 Now everybody's talking about that. 889 00:52:15,482 --> 00:52:19,310 There is negotiations going on within the United Nations 890 00:52:19,413 --> 00:52:21,517 about doing this systematically 891 00:52:21,620 --> 00:52:24,068 in the high seas everywhere in the planet. 892 00:52:24,172 --> 00:52:25,793 But then, it was not said. 893 00:52:25,896 --> 00:52:27,551 So it was a dream. 894 00:52:30,827 --> 00:52:32,724 You know, I said, "What the heck." 895 00:52:32,827 --> 00:52:34,896 I mean, we need to protect this area. 896 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,862 There is important stuff that is in high danger. 897 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,068 I think it served as an example for others 898 00:52:55,172 --> 00:52:58,172 and in other parts of the world to try to do the same. 899 00:52:58,275 --> 00:53:00,758 I feel very proud of that and very overjoyed 900 00:53:00,862 --> 00:53:02,965 that the success of this sanctuary 901 00:53:03,068 --> 00:53:05,517 can be duplicated in other parts of the world, 902 00:53:05,620 --> 00:53:09,206 because we absolutely need, in a very desperate way, 903 00:53:09,310 --> 00:53:10,655 to protect more areas, 904 00:53:10,758 --> 00:53:12,551 to have more marine protected areas 905 00:53:12,655 --> 00:53:13,965 and sanctuaries 906 00:53:14,068 --> 00:53:17,344 in the different seas and oceans of the world. 907 00:55:14,448 --> 00:55:16,413 A couple of years ago, some colleagues and I 908 00:55:16,517 --> 00:55:19,137 wrote a paper where we took all of the available information 909 00:55:19,241 --> 00:55:21,724 about humpback whales in the southern hemisphere 910 00:55:21,827 --> 00:55:23,620 and tried to argue a case 911 00:55:23,724 --> 00:55:26,172 that these animals are at a level right now 912 00:55:26,275 --> 00:55:28,724 where they were before whaling in a lot of places, 913 00:55:28,827 --> 00:55:31,241 and that the conservation efforts 914 00:55:31,344 --> 00:55:33,172 of hundreds and thousands of people 915 00:55:33,275 --> 00:55:35,103 and all the resources that went into it 916 00:55:35,206 --> 00:55:36,620 had a positive effect. 917 00:55:36,724 --> 00:55:38,275 And we're now at the point 918 00:55:38,379 --> 00:55:41,551 where we have to have these victories in conservation 919 00:55:41,655 --> 00:55:44,655 to say what we did had a positive outcome. 920 00:55:44,758 --> 00:55:46,896 And humpback whales are a great example. 921 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,793 People care about them quite a bit. 922 00:55:48,896 --> 00:55:51,275 People put a lot of time and energy into them. 923 00:56:54,551 --> 00:56:58,655 I can say that Mario, he done a lot for us, 924 00:56:58,758 --> 00:57:02,206 because he always said the kids are the future of the island 925 00:57:02,310 --> 00:57:05,241 and said to us that you really need to know 926 00:57:05,344 --> 00:57:07,793 about conservation when you travel. 927 00:57:07,896 --> 00:57:10,793 You can also share that to everyone. 928 00:57:10,896 --> 00:57:13,931 He always said to us that it's not just Apo island 929 00:57:14,034 --> 00:57:15,758 that we need to protect. 930 00:57:15,862 --> 00:57:18,862 It's the whole Philippines and the whole world. 931 00:57:18,965 --> 00:57:21,655 We're gonna start here in Apo. 932 00:57:26,965 --> 00:57:28,896 When Mario said, "Mary Jean, 933 00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,689 you're gonna go training for divemaster soon," 934 00:57:31,793 --> 00:57:34,137 and I said, "Maybe I can do it." 935 00:57:34,241 --> 00:57:36,137 There was a word stuck on my mind 936 00:57:36,241 --> 00:57:38,413 that women can't do it. 937 00:57:44,344 --> 00:57:46,482 When it comes to work in the ocean, 938 00:57:46,586 --> 00:57:48,931 I can say that there's no equality, 939 00:57:49,034 --> 00:57:51,689 especially in guiding, because men always said 940 00:57:51,793 --> 00:57:54,689 that the strength of a woman is different from man, 941 00:57:54,793 --> 00:57:58,620 and woman is just for the house and for the kids. 942 00:58:02,137 --> 00:58:04,793 The typical island woman, when it comes to dreaming, 943 00:58:04,896 --> 00:58:06,413 they have a broad dream, 944 00:58:06,517 --> 00:58:08,206 but there's escape on their mind 945 00:58:08,310 --> 00:58:10,586 that even how broad they dream, 946 00:58:10,689 --> 00:58:12,275 they can do it. 947 00:58:12,379 --> 00:58:15,586 But it's also a challenge for me and for Shane 948 00:58:15,689 --> 00:58:19,379 because we are only the girls in the group. 949 00:58:19,482 --> 00:58:22,862 It isn't easy for these kids who cannot work. 950 00:58:22,965 --> 00:58:25,206 We will teach dive to them 951 00:58:25,310 --> 00:58:28,034 to the professional diver license, 952 00:58:28,137 --> 00:58:31,068 and after, they can work anywhere in the world. 953 00:58:31,172 --> 00:58:34,724 And also, we teach them to protect the environment, 954 00:58:34,827 --> 00:58:36,551 krills, and fish. 955 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,172 So I really love this. 956 00:58:40,275 --> 00:58:42,413 Become like my passion now 957 00:58:42,517 --> 00:58:43,551 and diving and sailing 958 00:58:43,655 --> 00:58:47,620 and teaching the young ones. 959 00:58:47,724 --> 00:58:49,206 Now I'm teaching the children 960 00:58:49,310 --> 00:58:51,931 to be environmentally aware, 961 00:58:52,034 --> 00:58:53,586 and together with that, 962 00:58:53,689 --> 00:58:55,310 I think, for me, it's more effective 963 00:58:55,413 --> 00:58:56,965 if I trained them in scuba diving, 964 00:58:57,068 --> 00:58:58,965 because if you are a fisherman, 965 00:58:59,068 --> 00:59:00,793 your objective is just to fish. 966 00:59:00,896 --> 00:59:02,482 But if you're a diver, 967 00:59:02,586 --> 00:59:04,068 it will change, a little bit, your mind 968 00:59:04,172 --> 00:59:06,689 to keep the fish there in the water. 969 00:59:12,241 --> 00:59:15,000 It is my requirement that we include the girls 970 00:59:15,103 --> 00:59:16,793 to participate in the program 971 00:59:16,896 --> 00:59:19,068 because they might be the next leaders. 972 00:59:23,620 --> 00:59:27,689 My target before was 50/50 -- 50 girls and 50 boys. 973 00:59:27,793 --> 00:59:29,551 So, I started like that, 974 00:59:29,655 --> 00:59:33,517 but, you know, some girls will give up for some reason. 975 00:59:38,034 --> 00:59:39,896 There's a one time that I feel like 976 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,551 giving up on the course because it's hard. 977 00:59:42,655 --> 00:59:44,000 I can say it's hard. 978 01:00:00,896 --> 01:00:02,413 The suction cup tags that we put out, 979 01:00:02,517 --> 01:00:04,413 they're these multi-sensor tags that tell us 980 01:00:04,517 --> 01:00:06,517 about the underwater activity of the whales, 981 01:00:06,620 --> 01:00:08,068 and they also collect video. 982 01:00:08,172 --> 01:00:10,310 When that tag is on the whale, it has two transmitters. 983 01:00:10,413 --> 01:00:13,034 It has one that sends a signal up to a satellite 984 01:00:13,137 --> 01:00:14,724 that gives us its position, 985 01:00:14,827 --> 01:00:17,103 and then it has a VHF transmitter on there, as well, 986 01:00:17,206 --> 01:00:19,344 which allows us to get it once we're closer. 987 01:00:46,551 --> 01:00:48,655 So, when I first started hearing the tag, 988 01:00:48,758 --> 01:00:51,551 it didn't sound to me like it was still off of the animal. 989 01:00:51,655 --> 01:00:54,517 It sounded like it was coming on and then going off, on and off, 990 01:00:54,620 --> 01:00:57,103 like a whale that would be diving under the water. 991 01:00:58,620 --> 01:01:00,068 When I was listening for the tag, 992 01:01:00,172 --> 01:01:02,344 we had gotten a good position from the satellite, 993 01:01:02,448 --> 01:01:04,793 so I knew that it was back in this bay. 994 01:01:04,896 --> 01:01:07,103 The concern I had was, is it still on the whale or not? 995 01:01:07,206 --> 01:01:08,655 Because we had about two hours to go 996 01:01:08,758 --> 01:01:10,482 and locate that tag and get it back 997 01:01:10,586 --> 01:01:13,931 before we had to leave for the South Shetland Islands. 998 01:01:21,827 --> 01:01:24,896 And so if we deployed that tag in, say, January or February, 999 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,103 we might be able to come back down 1000 01:01:26,206 --> 01:01:27,793 in a couple of weeks and relocate it. 1001 01:01:27,896 --> 01:01:29,896 But with the last trip of the season, 1002 01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:31,206 we're the last boat out of here. 1003 01:01:31,310 --> 01:01:32,413 There's not going to be another boat here 1004 01:01:32,517 --> 01:01:33,758 for six or seven months. 1005 01:01:33,862 --> 01:01:35,586 So if we don't get that tag back, 1006 01:01:35,689 --> 01:01:37,517 we don't get any of the data. 1007 01:01:39,827 --> 01:01:41,241 We have very few of those tags, 1008 01:01:41,344 --> 01:01:43,724 and when you put them out, it is never a sure thing. 1009 01:01:43,827 --> 01:01:45,206 It's far from a sure thing 1010 01:01:45,310 --> 01:01:46,793 that you'll see them again. 1011 01:01:46,896 --> 01:01:48,241 So, listening to those beeps, 1012 01:01:48,344 --> 01:01:51,689 when you finally hear them, is a relief. 1013 01:01:51,793 --> 01:01:53,241 But that's only the start of the mission. 1014 01:01:53,344 --> 01:01:55,551 You actually have to go into all that brash ice 1015 01:01:55,655 --> 01:01:56,931 out in the middle of the Antarctic, 1016 01:01:57,034 --> 01:01:59,137 trying to find these incredibly small tags. 1017 01:01:59,241 --> 01:02:01,379 And sometimes, you're not lucky. 1018 01:02:20,551 --> 01:02:21,931 When we got to the tag, though, 1019 01:02:22,034 --> 01:02:23,758 what we found was that it was off the animal, 1020 01:02:23,862 --> 01:02:25,586 and it was in a big pile of brash ice, 1021 01:02:25,689 --> 01:02:27,310 like rubble from a glacier. 1022 01:02:27,413 --> 01:02:29,310 And I think what was happening was that sea ice 1023 01:02:29,413 --> 01:02:31,310 was covering it up every once in a while, 1024 01:02:31,413 --> 01:02:33,103 pushing the tag under water, 1025 01:02:33,206 --> 01:02:35,586 and then it would let the antenna come back up. 1026 01:02:40,310 --> 01:02:42,586 So, we got very fortunate that the tag was still 1027 01:02:42,689 --> 01:02:43,793 in a place where we could get to it 1028 01:02:43,896 --> 01:02:45,241 and that the ice hadn't crushed it 1029 01:02:45,344 --> 01:02:47,000 or just sat on top of it. 1030 01:02:57,965 --> 01:02:59,482 I see my role as a scientist 1031 01:02:59,586 --> 01:03:01,379 as having a couple of different opportunities 1032 01:03:01,482 --> 01:03:03,551 to help conserve and protect this area. 1033 01:03:03,655 --> 01:03:06,931 First off is doing rigorous quantitative research 1034 01:03:07,034 --> 01:03:08,965 that is unambiguous in the results, 1035 01:03:09,068 --> 01:03:12,137 that can be defended in International Court of Justice 1036 01:03:12,241 --> 01:03:14,482 or other policymaking arenas, 1037 01:03:14,586 --> 01:03:16,655 where if you say, we need to have evidence 1038 01:03:16,758 --> 01:03:18,241 for why you want to do a certain thing, 1039 01:03:18,344 --> 01:03:21,310 here's the evidence that we've done scientifically. 1040 01:03:21,413 --> 01:03:23,896 Education-wise, I think it's the other angle that we have 1041 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:25,310 because as scientists, 1042 01:03:25,413 --> 01:03:27,034 we have the opportunity to educate people 1043 01:03:27,137 --> 01:03:29,620 about the things that we think are important, 1044 01:03:29,724 --> 01:03:31,931 the things that are threatening to this environment, 1045 01:03:32,034 --> 01:03:34,965 and the things that we can do to protect it moving forward. 1046 01:03:35,068 --> 01:03:38,448 Then I think, ultimately, our role kind of hits a ceiling 1047 01:03:38,551 --> 01:03:41,344 at the level of where policy gets made. 1048 01:03:58,275 --> 01:04:00,862 I'm comfortable with the politics involved 1049 01:04:00,965 --> 01:04:02,758 in getting these areas established 1050 01:04:02,862 --> 01:04:05,172 with the need to have strong laws and robust science, 1051 01:04:05,275 --> 01:04:08,206 but I know you can lose in the political arena easily. 1052 01:04:08,310 --> 01:04:09,172 Yeah, it's hard. 1053 01:04:09,275 --> 01:04:10,758 I mean, to be honest, 1054 01:04:10,862 --> 01:04:12,793 you're a scientist, but you're also a stakeholder. 1055 01:04:12,896 --> 01:04:14,827 I mean, you can't -- you can't be objective in this, 1056 01:04:14,931 --> 01:04:16,344 and I wouldn't want to be. 1057 01:04:16,448 --> 01:04:18,344 It's a place -- I mean, California's a place I love. 1058 01:04:18,448 --> 01:04:20,448 The Antarctic is a place I want to see protected, 1059 01:04:20,551 --> 01:04:23,344 and you do science to try and push that agenda. 1060 01:04:23,448 --> 01:04:25,034 Yeah. But who initiates that 1061 01:04:25,137 --> 01:04:28,655 and where do you go with it is not always obvious. 1062 01:04:28,758 --> 01:04:31,379 One of the things I'm really excited about, 1063 01:04:31,482 --> 01:04:32,896 being able to spend some time with Mike, 1064 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,413 is to hear his stories and his experiences 1065 01:04:35,517 --> 01:04:37,206 of how you go about protecting an area 1066 01:04:37,310 --> 01:04:38,931 once you understand the things 1067 01:04:39,034 --> 01:04:41,482 that are in that ecosystem that need protection. 1068 01:04:41,586 --> 01:04:43,068 When people work together 1069 01:04:43,172 --> 01:04:45,068 from different areas and different regions 1070 01:04:45,172 --> 01:04:47,310 that have done things to protect marine life, 1071 01:04:47,413 --> 01:04:48,793 we can really only learn from each other, 1072 01:04:48,896 --> 01:04:51,586 and it's going to make every experience better. 1073 01:04:51,689 --> 01:04:54,172 So I'm gonna take Ari up in the plane 1074 01:04:54,275 --> 01:04:56,724 to fly him over the California coast 1075 01:04:56,827 --> 01:04:58,482 and look at some of our protected areas 1076 01:04:58,586 --> 01:04:59,931 that we established here 1077 01:05:00,034 --> 01:05:01,965 to get a sense of how important it is 1078 01:05:02,068 --> 01:05:05,931 to create a network that's scientifically viable. 1079 01:05:21,310 --> 01:05:23,827 We're looking down on some of the most beautiful, 1080 01:05:23,931 --> 01:05:26,862 healthy kelp forests on the California coast. 1081 01:05:26,965 --> 01:05:29,241 The area really is the blue Serengeti. 1082 01:05:29,344 --> 01:05:31,241 It's just teeming with marine life. 1083 01:05:31,344 --> 01:05:33,172 The Monterey Bay 1084 01:05:33,275 --> 01:05:36,206 is such a haven for so much life 1085 01:05:36,310 --> 01:05:37,862 People have said that those of us 1086 01:05:37,965 --> 01:05:39,965 in the conservation community are much better 1087 01:05:40,068 --> 01:05:41,448 at the "I Have a Nightmare" speech 1088 01:05:41,551 --> 01:05:43,241 than the " I Have a Dream" speech, 1089 01:05:43,344 --> 01:05:46,275 and we need to get better at the "I Have a Dream' speech. 1090 01:05:54,482 --> 01:05:56,137 So, over a 10-year period, 1091 01:05:56,241 --> 01:05:58,758 when I served on the State Fish and Game Commission here, 1092 01:05:58,862 --> 01:06:00,724 we methodically went up and down the coast, 1093 01:06:00,827 --> 01:06:03,448 creating science-based marine protected areas, 1094 01:06:03,551 --> 01:06:07,103 the biggest network in the nation. 1095 01:06:07,206 --> 01:06:08,620 And I think it is very important 1096 01:06:08,724 --> 01:06:10,448 as we move forward to be protecting our environment 1097 01:06:10,551 --> 01:06:12,655 that we do the same thing 1098 01:06:12,758 --> 01:06:15,241 and make a similar commitments to protecting our ocean. 1099 01:06:15,344 --> 01:06:18,758 Former Governor Schwarzenegger 1100 01:06:18,862 --> 01:06:20,965 was a big supporter of our efforts 1101 01:06:21,068 --> 01:06:23,137 to protect California's ocean. 1102 01:06:23,241 --> 01:06:24,931 He saw marine protection 1103 01:06:25,034 --> 01:06:26,758 and the network of marine protected areas 1104 01:06:26,862 --> 01:06:29,758 that we created as part of his environmental legacy. 1105 01:06:29,862 --> 01:06:33,172 He asked me personally to help him make that happen. 1106 01:06:43,275 --> 01:06:45,862 A lot of people were arguing over lines on maps, 1107 01:06:45,965 --> 01:06:47,896 and I said, you know, "That's not good enough." 1108 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,206 If they're just lines on maps, nobody's gonna care. 1109 01:06:50,310 --> 01:06:52,000 So I asked my friend Kip Evans, 1110 01:06:52,103 --> 01:06:54,068 who's a fabulous photographer, 1111 01:06:54,172 --> 01:06:56,551 to come with me and we'll take the airplane 1112 01:06:56,655 --> 01:06:59,137 and fly the entire length of the California coast 1113 01:06:59,241 --> 01:07:01,000 from Mexico to Oregon. 1114 01:07:01,103 --> 01:07:03,862 And we photographed every proposed or existing 1115 01:07:03,965 --> 01:07:06,206 marine protected area site in the state. 1116 01:07:06,310 --> 01:07:09,379 And there we took those pictures and showed them to the public, 1117 01:07:09,482 --> 01:07:11,724 showed them to decision makers. 1118 01:07:11,827 --> 01:07:15,482 We both know that most people that enjoy the coast 1119 01:07:15,586 --> 01:07:17,862 only see the ocean from the surface. 1120 01:07:17,965 --> 01:07:19,103 They go down on the beach. 1121 01:07:19,206 --> 01:07:20,931 They might enjoy walking on the beach. 1122 01:07:21,034 --> 01:07:23,034 But unless you're a diver, 1123 01:07:23,137 --> 01:07:25,034 it's really hard to understand, right, 1124 01:07:25,137 --> 01:07:27,551 what's below the surface of the ocean. 1125 01:07:27,655 --> 01:07:28,965 So getting up in the air, 1126 01:07:29,068 --> 01:07:32,068 showing the complete view of an area 1127 01:07:32,172 --> 01:07:33,724 that should be protected 1128 01:07:33,827 --> 01:07:36,758 provides a whole different way of looking at it. 1129 01:07:38,655 --> 01:07:40,034 If you talk about an area, 1130 01:07:40,137 --> 01:07:42,000 and it's just lines on a map, nobody cares. 1131 01:07:42,103 --> 01:07:44,344 If they see it for themselves, it's very special. 1132 01:07:44,448 --> 01:07:47,689 They'll realize how important it is to protect these areas. 1133 01:08:00,241 --> 01:08:01,758 I met a number of fishermen 1134 01:08:01,862 --> 01:08:03,965 on sometimes adversarial grounds. 1135 01:08:04,068 --> 01:08:05,965 The fishermen had been able 1136 01:08:06,068 --> 01:08:08,344 to fish anywhere for so many years. 1137 01:08:08,448 --> 01:08:10,586 They did not want to stop fishing. 1138 01:08:13,310 --> 01:08:15,275 We would have public hearings, 1139 01:08:15,379 --> 01:08:17,448 and a lot of fishermen would come. 1140 01:08:17,551 --> 01:08:20,689 I think that the anger was really fueled by fear 1141 01:08:20,793 --> 01:08:24,793 of how it was going to affect their ability 1142 01:08:24,896 --> 01:08:26,241 to support their families, 1143 01:08:26,344 --> 01:08:27,482 make their boat payments. 1144 01:08:27,586 --> 01:08:30,931 And those were all legitimate fears. 1145 01:08:31,034 --> 01:08:33,172 So my grandfather had this 8mm camera 1146 01:08:33,275 --> 01:08:35,965 that he was really proud of and took everywhere with him. 1147 01:08:36,068 --> 01:08:39,000 His favorite thing to take film of 1148 01:08:39,103 --> 01:08:41,482 was the fish he was harvesting. 1149 01:08:44,034 --> 01:08:46,310 My parents would go out every single day 1150 01:08:46,413 --> 01:08:47,758 in a 12-foot skiff, 1151 01:08:47,862 --> 01:08:49,413 and they would just fish the morning hours, 1152 01:08:49,517 --> 01:08:52,206 and they would come in with 600, 700 pounds of rockfish 1153 01:08:52,310 --> 01:08:54,103 every single day. 1154 01:08:54,206 --> 01:08:56,482 That was the norm. 1155 01:08:58,413 --> 01:09:01,310 They were easily twice the size 1156 01:09:01,413 --> 01:09:03,862 of what is being harvested right now. 1157 01:09:06,586 --> 01:09:09,551 Both my grandparents had worked in the sardine factories 1158 01:09:09,655 --> 01:09:11,413 for more than 35 years, 1159 01:09:11,517 --> 01:09:13,206 and they saw the crash 1160 01:09:13,310 --> 01:09:16,344 of the sardine fishery. 1161 01:09:16,448 --> 01:09:18,068 So a lot of the foraging species 1162 01:09:18,172 --> 01:09:20,620 that we get local would be 1163 01:09:20,724 --> 01:09:22,586 the sardines and the anchovies 1164 01:09:22,689 --> 01:09:23,862 and even the krill. 1165 01:09:23,965 --> 01:09:25,793 So the whales feed 1166 01:09:25,896 --> 01:09:28,137 on these fisheries 1167 01:09:28,241 --> 01:09:30,137 and not just the whales, but the pelicans, 1168 01:09:30,241 --> 01:09:32,724 the sea lions, the otters. 1169 01:09:32,827 --> 01:09:36,137 Lot of different creatures need these forage species 1170 01:09:36,241 --> 01:09:37,896 in order to survive. 1171 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,551 We are pulling out the fish 1172 01:09:40,655 --> 01:09:45,068 that the creatures in the ocean need to survive. 1173 01:09:45,172 --> 01:09:47,620 Our marine protected areas are very critical, 1174 01:09:47,724 --> 01:09:51,344 and I think that they need to be enlarged. 1175 01:09:51,448 --> 01:09:53,517 So, what really matters is, 1176 01:09:53,620 --> 01:09:55,965 what's the legal protection for the area? 1177 01:09:56,068 --> 01:09:58,551 Are there areas that are actually set aside 1178 01:09:58,655 --> 01:10:00,965 where you can't fish, you can't drill for oil, 1179 01:10:01,068 --> 01:10:03,310 you can't do any extractive activities? 1180 01:10:03,413 --> 01:10:04,862 That's the trick. 1181 01:10:04,965 --> 01:10:07,413 Each area is different, but what I look for is, 1182 01:10:07,517 --> 01:10:09,103 who has jurisdiction over an area? 1183 01:10:09,206 --> 01:10:11,103 Here, it was the state of California. 1184 01:10:11,206 --> 01:10:13,517 Yeah. So we had to influence the state of California 1185 01:10:13,620 --> 01:10:15,310 to take action. 1186 01:10:15,413 --> 01:10:17,241 Yeah, well, you hope everyone wants the same thing, 1187 01:10:17,344 --> 01:10:19,586 but that's obviously not an easy thing. 1188 01:10:19,689 --> 01:10:21,103 Well, you've got competing interests, 1189 01:10:21,206 --> 01:10:23,137 and it's hard enough to get this done 1190 01:10:23,241 --> 01:10:25,103 where you've just got one government to deal with. 1191 01:10:25,206 --> 01:10:27,517 instead of more than half a dozen. 1192 01:10:27,620 --> 01:10:28,896 Yeah, I guess the trade off is, 1193 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,034 you probably have fewer people 1194 01:10:31,137 --> 01:10:33,517 and fewer different types of views 1195 01:10:33,620 --> 01:10:36,000 opposing what you want to do. 1196 01:10:54,758 --> 01:10:56,827 In Australia, there's a lot of reverence, 1197 01:10:56,931 --> 01:10:59,103 a lot of, you know, love for the fact 1198 01:10:59,206 --> 01:11:02,965 that you have these whales in that area. 1199 01:11:03,068 --> 01:11:04,758 When we do the Southern Ocean campaign, 1200 01:11:04,862 --> 01:11:08,448 usually we head due south from Tasmania. 1201 01:11:08,551 --> 01:11:10,241 When Sea Shepherd goes down to that area, 1202 01:11:10,344 --> 01:11:11,724 it's not just to protect whales, 1203 01:11:11,827 --> 01:11:14,517 but also to protect the sanctuary. 1204 01:11:16,965 --> 01:11:18,689 Part of the international Whale Sanctuary 1205 01:11:18,793 --> 01:11:20,275 is the Australia Sanctuary, 1206 01:11:20,379 --> 01:11:21,931 so you have two sanctuaries, one within the other. 1207 01:11:22,034 --> 01:11:25,068 So you'd think that would be doubly protected. 1208 01:11:25,172 --> 01:11:26,931 What's the point of having a sanctuary 1209 01:11:27,034 --> 01:11:29,896 when you kill whales in the sanctuary? 1210 01:11:36,241 --> 01:11:37,724 The best evidence is to actually 1211 01:11:37,827 --> 01:11:39,965 document a whaling operation 1212 01:11:40,068 --> 01:11:42,000 and then demonstrate where it took place 1213 01:11:42,103 --> 01:11:43,413 using the GPS. 1214 01:11:43,517 --> 01:11:45,551 So therefore, we have positive evidence 1215 01:11:45,655 --> 01:11:46,689 that the whales are being killed 1216 01:11:46,793 --> 01:11:48,586 in the Australian Whale Sanctuary 1217 01:11:48,689 --> 01:11:51,103 or the International Whale Sanctuary. 1218 01:11:51,206 --> 01:11:53,689 Been defined as a sanctuary not only by the IWC, 1219 01:11:53,793 --> 01:11:55,482 but by the Australian government 1220 01:11:55,586 --> 01:11:58,103 and by the International Court of Justice. 1221 01:11:58,206 --> 01:12:00,068 The International Court of Justice ruled that 1222 01:12:00,172 --> 01:12:03,172 the so-called scientific whaling was not legitimate. 1223 01:12:06,931 --> 01:12:11,965 By 12 votes to 4, finds that Japan, 1224 01:12:12,068 --> 01:12:15,275 by granting special permits to kill, take, and treat 1225 01:12:15,379 --> 01:12:18,448 fin, humpback and Antarctic minke whales 1226 01:12:18,551 --> 01:12:20,758 in pursuance of chapter 2 1227 01:12:20,862 --> 01:12:22,655 has not acted in conformity 1228 01:12:22,758 --> 01:12:26,758 with its obligations under paragraph 10-E of the schedule 1229 01:12:26,862 --> 01:12:30,689 to the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling. 1230 01:12:30,793 --> 01:12:34,172 It was such a long court battle. 1231 01:12:34,275 --> 01:12:35,551 Even before the Australian government 1232 01:12:35,655 --> 01:12:37,758 agreed to bring that case, 1233 01:12:37,862 --> 01:12:40,758 we'd been campaigning for it for about a decade. 1234 01:12:40,862 --> 01:12:44,103 And as he read the judgment, we weren't sure which way 1235 01:12:44,206 --> 01:12:45,000 he was going to go. 1236 01:12:45,103 --> 01:12:46,448 It was really nail biting. 1237 01:12:46,551 --> 01:12:48,206 And then when he came to those final words, 1238 01:12:48,310 --> 01:12:49,862 it was a celebration. 1239 01:12:49,965 --> 01:12:53,655 But of course, the celebration only lasted so long. 1240 01:12:53,758 --> 01:12:57,068 They haven't stopped. No, they're still down there. 1241 01:12:57,172 --> 01:12:58,655 We just returned with our ships, 1242 01:12:58,758 --> 01:13:01,517 got further evidence of dead whales being taken 1243 01:13:01,620 --> 01:13:03,103 in the Australian Sanctuary, 1244 01:13:03,206 --> 01:13:04,344 and we, of course, deliver that evidence 1245 01:13:04,448 --> 01:13:05,620 to the Australian government. 1246 01:13:05,724 --> 01:13:08,310 But they just turn a blind eye to it. 1247 01:13:08,413 --> 01:13:10,137 When they lower the number of whales killed 1248 01:13:10,241 --> 01:13:12,931 from 1,035 to 333, 1249 01:13:13,034 --> 01:13:14,551 that hasn't changed anything. 1250 01:13:14,655 --> 01:13:18,034 It's still a violation of the sanctuary. 1251 01:13:20,931 --> 01:13:23,655 We have all the rules and regulations 1252 01:13:23,758 --> 01:13:25,275 we need to protect the ocean, 1253 01:13:25,379 --> 01:13:27,620 but none of that means anything without enforcement, 1254 01:13:27,724 --> 01:13:30,517 and there is a lack of political and economic motivation. 1255 01:13:30,620 --> 01:13:34,965 So, the poachers get to do whatever they want. 1256 01:13:35,068 --> 01:13:37,137 Well, the solution is for governments to uphold 1257 01:13:37,241 --> 01:13:41,344 the rules and the regulations. 1258 01:13:41,448 --> 01:13:43,862 Australia doesn't send a vessel down 1259 01:13:43,965 --> 01:13:45,724 to the Southern Ocean Sanctuary 1260 01:13:45,827 --> 01:13:47,517 and the Australian Whale Sanctuary. 1261 01:13:47,620 --> 01:13:50,758 They did once to gather evidence for the court case. 1262 01:13:50,862 --> 01:13:52,551 To be honest, the Environment Department 1263 01:13:52,655 --> 01:13:54,241 is starved of funds. 1264 01:13:54,344 --> 01:13:56,758 They don't have money to protect threatened species, 1265 01:13:56,862 --> 01:14:00,034 never mind to send ships down to Antarctica. 1266 01:14:00,137 --> 01:14:01,655 We really need to look after our whales 1267 01:14:01,758 --> 01:14:04,241 and they cannot withstand hunting. 1268 01:14:42,103 --> 01:14:45,068 It's one thing to say once a conservation decision is made, 1269 01:14:45,172 --> 01:14:47,103 you don't take any backward steps. 1270 01:14:47,206 --> 01:14:50,517 It's another thing to see your own country 1271 01:14:50,620 --> 01:14:54,517 currently contemplating leading the world 1272 01:14:54,620 --> 01:14:58,310 in the removal of conservation. 1273 01:14:58,413 --> 01:15:00,586 It was the largest network 1274 01:15:00,689 --> 01:15:02,275 and still is the largest network 1275 01:15:02,379 --> 01:15:04,758 of marine protected areas in the world. 1276 01:15:04,862 --> 01:15:07,758 Since that time, though, with the change of government, 1277 01:15:07,862 --> 01:15:09,724 they have a proposal in front of them right now, 1278 01:15:09,827 --> 01:15:11,965 which, if they follow through on, 1279 01:15:12,068 --> 01:15:14,241 will be the largest removal 1280 01:15:14,344 --> 01:15:16,551 of areas from conservation 1281 01:15:16,655 --> 01:15:18,344 that any country in the world 1282 01:15:18,448 --> 01:15:20,068 has ever engaged in. 1283 01:15:34,620 --> 01:15:36,655 They talk about the first marine protected area in the world 1284 01:15:36,758 --> 01:15:38,620 was down the Royal National Park in Sydney. 1285 01:15:38,724 --> 01:15:41,206 I think it's something Australia should be very proud of, 1286 01:15:41,310 --> 01:15:42,793 but we can't rest on our laurels. 1287 01:15:42,896 --> 01:15:44,310 Many political leaders 1288 01:15:44,413 --> 01:15:46,206 are only looking as far as the next election. 1289 01:15:46,310 --> 01:15:48,517 Most of the issues we're faced in the conservation area, 1290 01:15:48,620 --> 01:15:49,896 whether it's marine or terrestrial, 1291 01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:51,517 are very long-term. 1292 01:15:51,620 --> 01:15:53,034 Protection is only the first step 1293 01:15:53,137 --> 01:15:54,758 in a long, ongoing journey. 1294 01:15:54,862 --> 01:15:56,896 Everything is changing. The environment is changing. 1295 01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:58,551 The amount of coral bleaching we saw over 1296 01:15:58,655 --> 01:16:00,275 the last two summers, that's pretty horrific, 1297 01:16:00,379 --> 01:16:02,862 and we need to ensure that we're dealing with it. 1298 01:16:05,517 --> 01:16:09,275 Australia was seen as a leader in ocean conservation, 1299 01:16:09,379 --> 01:16:11,206 as a leader in environmental management. 1300 01:16:11,310 --> 01:16:14,000 But today, Australia's leadership 1301 01:16:14,103 --> 01:16:15,724 is not up to the task. 1302 01:16:15,827 --> 01:16:17,482 When the Great Barrier Reef was created, 1303 01:16:17,586 --> 01:16:19,482 Australia was seen as a global leader 1304 01:16:19,586 --> 01:16:20,482 in ocean conservation. 1305 01:16:20,586 --> 01:16:21,896 Today, it is not anymore. 1306 01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,586 Australia's so lucky to have this thriving 1307 01:16:24,689 --> 01:16:26,551 and brilliant scientific community 1308 01:16:26,655 --> 01:16:30,724 that has been warning about the impacts of runoff pollution, 1309 01:16:30,827 --> 01:16:33,448 mining, shipping, and climate change 1310 01:16:33,551 --> 01:16:35,206 on the Great Barrier Reef. 1311 01:16:35,310 --> 01:16:37,620 Today, unlike 40 years ago, 1312 01:16:37,724 --> 01:16:40,379 leadership in coral reef conservation 1313 01:16:40,482 --> 01:16:42,310 is coming from places like Palau, 1314 01:16:42,413 --> 01:16:43,793 not from Australia. 1315 01:17:09,793 --> 01:17:11,172 Palau is a small country 1316 01:17:11,275 --> 01:17:13,172 but the huge island nation. 1317 01:17:13,275 --> 01:17:16,206 They have over half a million square kilometers of water 1318 01:17:16,310 --> 01:17:18,413 around their islands. 1319 01:17:18,517 --> 01:17:21,586 They have done something very, very courageous. 1320 01:17:21,689 --> 01:17:25,517 They decided to protect 80% of their waters. 1321 01:17:25,620 --> 01:17:28,206 No other country has done that. 1322 01:17:28,310 --> 01:17:30,931 For a fishing culture, this is a big, big step. 1323 01:17:31,034 --> 01:17:35,137 Palau is a clear global leader in ocean conservation. 1324 01:17:35,241 --> 01:17:37,413 First day we were here, we had the privilege of diving 1325 01:17:37,517 --> 01:17:40,551 in one of the truly great scuba dives of the world, 1326 01:17:40,655 --> 01:17:43,586 and that's the blue corner where the coral reef meets 1327 01:17:43,689 --> 01:17:45,931 the deep water of the pelagic zone, 1328 01:17:46,034 --> 01:17:48,103 and with the water from the open ocean 1329 01:17:48,206 --> 01:17:50,275 come open ocean animals. 1330 01:17:55,931 --> 01:17:59,517 We met the president right here at the Palau Aquarium. 1331 01:17:59,620 --> 01:18:02,172 The expectations of Palau are very high. 1332 01:18:02,275 --> 01:18:04,241 President Remengesau has become 1333 01:18:04,344 --> 01:18:06,413 an international leader in ocean conservation. 1334 01:18:06,517 --> 01:18:09,241 We need more world leaders like him. 1335 01:18:09,344 --> 01:18:11,655 We're doing something that our values 1336 01:18:11,758 --> 01:18:13,965 tell us we need to do. 1337 01:18:14,068 --> 01:18:15,551 We're doing something that science 1338 01:18:15,655 --> 01:18:18,000 tell us needs to be done, 1339 01:18:18,103 --> 01:18:22,103 and we're doing something that our traditional ancestors 1340 01:18:22,206 --> 01:18:24,413 have been doing over centuries 1341 01:18:24,517 --> 01:18:27,448 to preserve Palau to where it is today. 1342 01:18:36,689 --> 01:18:38,758 So the moral lesson of this mermaid 1343 01:18:38,862 --> 01:18:40,965 who gave birth to the boy Uab 1344 01:18:41,068 --> 01:18:43,827 is that the island resources are limited, 1345 01:18:43,931 --> 01:18:46,793 that people have to respect the bounties of the land. 1346 01:18:46,896 --> 01:18:49,758 There are limitations to what islands have to offer. 1347 01:18:49,862 --> 01:18:53,137 And so any time you have this hunger for consumption 1348 01:18:53,241 --> 01:18:55,448 and you don't balance it with preservation, 1349 01:18:55,551 --> 01:18:59,000 then everything will not be sustainable. 1350 01:18:59,103 --> 01:19:01,793 It took the whole village, it took the parents to realize 1351 01:19:01,896 --> 01:19:05,206 that the child had to go. 1352 01:19:05,310 --> 01:19:08,620 Any time your hunger exceeds the natural bounties, 1353 01:19:08,724 --> 01:19:10,551 then you really need to eliminate 1354 01:19:10,655 --> 01:19:11,965 that insatiable hunger. 1355 01:19:12,068 --> 01:19:15,344 And I think that's really the moral lesson. 1356 01:19:19,068 --> 01:19:20,689 President Remengesau of Palau 1357 01:19:20,793 --> 01:19:23,310 wants to leave an ocean legacy for his people 1358 01:19:23,413 --> 01:19:25,000 and for the people of the world. 1359 01:19:25,103 --> 01:19:26,793 He's got some of the most pristine 1360 01:19:26,896 --> 01:19:28,413 and beautiful natural resources 1361 01:19:28,517 --> 01:19:30,068 anywhere in the world. 1362 01:19:30,172 --> 01:19:33,310 The challenge for Palau is one of capacity. 1363 01:19:33,413 --> 01:19:34,896 Does the country have the capacity 1364 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:36,448 to patrol and police 1365 01:19:36,551 --> 01:19:39,241 the marine sanctuary that it set aside? 1366 01:19:50,758 --> 01:19:52,862 We met this morning with Keobel Sakuma, 1367 01:19:52,965 --> 01:19:55,689 who reports directly to President Remengesau. 1368 01:19:55,793 --> 01:19:58,620 The president asked Keobel to manage the entire 1369 01:19:58,724 --> 01:20:00,551 Palau National Marine Sanctuary, 1370 01:20:00,655 --> 01:20:02,103 which is all of Palau's waters, 1371 01:20:02,206 --> 01:20:04,620 right out to 200 nautical miles offshore. 1372 01:20:04,724 --> 01:20:07,827 So KB, as he's known, has a tremendous challenge. 1373 01:20:07,931 --> 01:20:09,896 Today, I met with Mike Sutton, 1374 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,034 and I was able to show him what we do here in Palau 1375 01:20:13,137 --> 01:20:15,655 to combat illegal fishing. 1376 01:20:15,758 --> 01:20:17,379 The vessels that we have now in port 1377 01:20:17,482 --> 01:20:19,931 are from General Santos City in the Philippines, 1378 01:20:20,034 --> 01:20:22,689 and usually, the catch on the Philippine vessels 1379 01:20:22,793 --> 01:20:25,586 include yellowfin tuna and skipjack tuna. 1380 01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:30,758 When we boarded the fishing vessels 1381 01:20:30,862 --> 01:20:32,620 from the Philippines that were caught here in Palau, 1382 01:20:32,724 --> 01:20:34,793 we met with the captain, Ruffino, 1383 01:20:34,896 --> 01:20:38,586 and I think we were able to get a good idea of the complexity 1384 01:20:38,689 --> 01:20:40,068 of the issue of illegal fishing 1385 01:20:40,172 --> 01:20:42,000 and the fact that it's not just black and white, 1386 01:20:42,103 --> 01:20:44,655 it's not the bad guys and the good guys. 1387 01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:48,689 Did your owners tell you that even -- 1388 01:20:48,793 --> 01:20:51,896 you have fish in your holds and you go through Palau, 1389 01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:54,310 if you cannot prove the fish is not from Palau, 1390 01:20:54,413 --> 01:20:56,068 that's illegal. 1391 01:20:56,172 --> 01:21:01,103 So no other way to go from Indonesia to Philippines. 1392 01:21:01,206 --> 01:21:02,551 Have to go through Palau. 1393 01:21:02,655 --> 01:21:04,862 Did your owners say, "You go through Palau 1394 01:21:04,965 --> 01:21:08,172 to get to General Santos?" 1395 01:21:08,275 --> 01:21:11,896 I said to my employer, "There's no other way." 1396 01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,689 This Indonesia, Philippines, General Santos. 1397 01:21:14,793 --> 01:21:17,000 No other way because it's very expensive. 1398 01:21:17,103 --> 01:21:20,689 So your owner wanted you to take the short... 1399 01:21:20,793 --> 01:21:23,103 Yes....route and not go around? 1400 01:21:23,206 --> 01:21:24,448 Yes. 1401 01:21:24,551 --> 01:21:25,448 Very expensive. 1402 01:21:25,551 --> 01:21:26,655 Very expensive, yeah. 1403 01:21:26,758 --> 01:21:28,758 So your owner want to save money. 1404 01:21:28,862 --> 01:21:30,172 Okay. 1405 01:21:30,275 --> 01:21:31,724 That's good to know. 1406 01:21:35,344 --> 01:21:36,655 There are people out there 1407 01:21:36,758 --> 01:21:38,655 that are very poor trying to make a living 1408 01:21:38,758 --> 01:21:41,172 and will do things sometimes outside of the law 1409 01:21:41,275 --> 01:21:43,827 and sometimes being pushed by the owners of the vessels 1410 01:21:43,931 --> 01:21:44,724 to do these things, 1411 01:21:44,827 --> 01:21:45,965 and it's a lot harder 1412 01:21:46,068 --> 01:21:47,517 than just throwing everybody in jail 1413 01:21:47,620 --> 01:21:49,551 and locking up the key. 1414 01:21:52,172 --> 01:21:54,000 How long have you been in Palau? 1415 01:21:54,103 --> 01:21:57,862 - Seven. Seven months. - Seven months? 1416 01:21:57,965 --> 01:21:59,448 So, when you go back to General Santos 1417 01:21:59,551 --> 01:22:00,931 or your village, 1418 01:22:01,034 --> 01:22:03,000 you tell them, don't go to Palau. 1419 01:22:03,103 --> 01:22:04,965 Or, it's not good to go to Palau. 1420 01:22:05,068 --> 01:22:06,137 because you're gonna go to jail 1421 01:22:06,241 --> 01:22:07,517 if you go fishing in Palau. 1422 01:22:07,620 --> 01:22:10,034 You tell other people? - Yeah. Yeah. 1423 01:22:13,551 --> 01:22:15,310 Just as anyone would lock their door 1424 01:22:15,413 --> 01:22:18,103 on the way out of their house if they're leaving for the day, 1425 01:22:18,206 --> 01:22:20,586 we need to secure our borders, 1426 01:22:20,689 --> 01:22:21,827 because at the end of the day, 1427 01:22:21,931 --> 01:22:24,000 we're a small island country. 1428 01:22:24,103 --> 01:22:26,724 Really, it's a matter of survival for us. 1429 01:22:32,068 --> 01:22:34,482 As we've begun to crack down harder 1430 01:22:34,586 --> 01:22:37,482 on illegal fishing, we've seen less and less sharks 1431 01:22:37,586 --> 01:22:39,862 and shark parts on board. 1432 01:22:42,413 --> 01:22:46,137 The minimum penalty for even the possession of a shark part 1433 01:22:46,241 --> 01:22:49,586 on a fishing vessel is a minimum of $500,000 1434 01:22:49,689 --> 01:22:51,586 and up to $1 million per part. 1435 01:22:51,689 --> 01:22:53,413 In the past, we've seen vessels 1436 01:22:53,517 --> 01:22:55,896 with their holds just full of shark parts. 1437 01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:57,517 But it's been quite a long time 1438 01:22:57,620 --> 01:23:00,068 since we've seen catches like that. 1439 01:23:00,172 --> 01:23:02,344 Even the Vietnamese vessels 1440 01:23:02,448 --> 01:23:04,758 that have been targeting the sea cucumber, 1441 01:23:04,862 --> 01:23:08,413 we've seen less and less of them in our waters. 1442 01:23:08,517 --> 01:23:10,862 Since we've started burning the boats 1443 01:23:10,965 --> 01:23:13,517 and putting a deterrence campaign online, 1444 01:23:13,620 --> 01:23:16,344 having a big media event out of each burning, 1445 01:23:16,448 --> 01:23:18,758 we have not seen a single Vietnamese vessel 1446 01:23:18,862 --> 01:23:24,034 fishing illegally in our waters in 2016 and 2017. 1447 01:23:24,137 --> 01:23:25,310 We're starting to see that 1448 01:23:25,413 --> 01:23:27,310 the collective international opinion 1449 01:23:27,413 --> 01:23:29,448 is starting to change and really adopt 1450 01:23:29,551 --> 01:23:31,517 what the Pacific countries have known all along 1451 01:23:31,620 --> 01:23:33,482 and that not only the Pacific Ocean, 1452 01:23:33,586 --> 01:23:35,310 but all oceans are interconnected. 1453 01:23:35,413 --> 01:23:37,310 And what happens in one country 1454 01:23:37,413 --> 01:23:39,862 is not necessarily isolated to that country. 1455 01:24:06,068 --> 01:24:09,103 I really want to say, paradise is without man. 1456 01:24:09,206 --> 01:24:10,310 Sometimes I feel that way, 1457 01:24:10,413 --> 01:24:11,862 Like, if we are not there 1458 01:24:11,965 --> 01:24:14,586 and let nature take its course 1459 01:24:14,689 --> 01:24:18,206 and let animals of all species just live and not being consumed 1460 01:24:18,310 --> 01:24:20,344 by our insatiable greed, 1461 01:24:20,448 --> 01:24:22,758 I think the paradise happens. 1462 01:24:22,862 --> 01:24:25,448 I think paradise is already there. 1463 01:24:25,551 --> 01:24:27,448 The Homo sapiens is also part of ecology. 1464 01:24:27,551 --> 01:24:30,379 It's part of the interconnectedness of nature, 1465 01:24:30,482 --> 01:24:33,379 and we need to be a good part of nature. 1466 01:24:36,103 --> 01:24:39,482 Getting to paradise means 1467 01:24:39,586 --> 01:24:42,241 legislation, policy, 1468 01:24:42,344 --> 01:24:45,310 framework, management. 1469 01:24:45,413 --> 01:24:46,655 I mean, these are technical terms, 1470 01:24:46,758 --> 01:24:50,517 but it means protecting places, 1471 01:24:50,620 --> 01:24:53,758 not by just the mere declaration that is protected. 1472 01:24:53,862 --> 01:24:55,379 You really have to work for it. 1473 01:24:55,482 --> 01:24:57,413 You need science. 1474 01:24:57,517 --> 01:24:59,931 You need campaigns. You need the media. 1475 01:25:00,034 --> 01:25:01,517 You need the communities 1476 01:25:01,620 --> 01:25:05,448 to really work together and get to paradise. 1477 01:25:07,689 --> 01:25:08,965 In our presentations, 1478 01:25:09,068 --> 01:25:10,896 when we lobby for marine protected areas, 1479 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,344 we use the data that's recently available, 1480 01:25:13,448 --> 01:25:15,517 that after 25 years of protection, 1481 01:25:15,620 --> 01:25:18,724 the biomass of fish around Apo Island has increased, 1482 01:25:18,827 --> 01:25:22,413 and this is exactly the proof that we show. 1483 01:25:29,586 --> 01:25:31,758 When I get a little bit older 1484 01:25:31,862 --> 01:25:34,551 and become the chairman of the marine sanctuary, 1485 01:25:34,655 --> 01:25:38,758 I start to expand my protection a little bit around Apo Island. 1486 01:25:38,862 --> 01:25:40,862 So, it's getting bigger and bigger. 1487 01:25:40,965 --> 01:25:45,793 This dream is not on my mind when we started the sanctuary. 1488 01:25:45,896 --> 01:25:48,344 I'm just focusing first on sanctuary 1489 01:25:48,448 --> 01:25:51,344 and slowly expanding and expanding around Apo 1490 01:25:51,448 --> 01:25:54,172 and slowly expanding a little bit to more people. 1491 01:25:54,275 --> 01:25:56,068 And now we are expanding outside Apo. 1492 01:25:56,172 --> 01:25:58,724 I think it just comes slowly on my mind 1493 01:25:58,827 --> 01:26:01,034 to expand more, getting more bigger. 1494 01:26:01,137 --> 01:26:02,862 Maybe because I'm getting older, 1495 01:26:02,965 --> 01:26:06,034 so my my idea is getting broader and bigger. 1496 01:26:08,310 --> 01:26:11,931 My grandfather always caught a shark every morning, 1497 01:26:12,034 --> 01:26:15,275 three, four, five every morning. 1498 01:26:16,827 --> 01:26:22,344 Mario, he organized to stop getting a shark. 1499 01:26:22,448 --> 01:26:25,793 He protect sharks, mantas, 1500 01:26:25,896 --> 01:26:30,655 bats, turtles, birds, crabs, 1501 01:26:30,758 --> 01:26:33,655 mangrove trees, any kind of trees. 1502 01:26:33,758 --> 01:26:36,758 You cut that, he put you in jail, 1503 01:26:36,862 --> 01:26:39,413 Even though you are his brother, do that, 1504 01:26:39,517 --> 01:26:41,310 he put you in jail. 1505 01:26:43,793 --> 01:26:45,482 I'm dreaming also, 1506 01:26:45,586 --> 01:26:48,448 to follow the step of Mario. 1507 01:27:11,724 --> 01:27:13,482 There's a lot of youth in the island 1508 01:27:13,586 --> 01:27:17,000 who wants to participate in it. 1509 01:27:17,103 --> 01:27:20,655 When I just walk on the street, and they said, 1510 01:27:20,758 --> 01:27:22,862 "When you finish your divemaster, 1511 01:27:22,965 --> 01:27:24,793 I want also to try diving, 1512 01:27:24,896 --> 01:27:27,931 and you will be the one who will guide me." 1513 01:27:28,034 --> 01:27:31,310 I was amazed because 13-, 12-years-old kids 1514 01:27:31,413 --> 01:27:34,275 already engaging for diving. 1515 01:27:34,379 --> 01:27:39,724 The three kids who came to the dive ship was Diem, 1516 01:27:39,827 --> 01:27:44,206 also Lovely, and my brother Jupe. 1517 01:27:44,310 --> 01:27:48,137 I was surprised then when I saw him preparing for the dive. 1518 01:27:48,241 --> 01:27:50,241 because he's always with his friends, 1519 01:27:50,344 --> 01:27:52,379 just roaming around the island. 1520 01:27:57,068 --> 01:27:59,655 After seven years working with children, 1521 01:27:59,758 --> 01:28:02,896 teaching with the children about how to look after our seas, 1522 01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,413 and we trained them scuba diving, as well, 1523 01:28:05,517 --> 01:28:08,724 six of them will finish their divemaster course. 1524 01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:18,586 I'm very excited now that this afternoon, 1525 01:28:18,689 --> 01:28:20,172 we will hand them the certificate 1526 01:28:20,275 --> 01:28:23,448 to prove that they finished all requirement necessary 1527 01:28:23,551 --> 01:28:26,448 in order for them to be at that level. 1528 01:28:30,517 --> 01:28:34,034 Mary Jean! 1529 01:28:48,103 --> 01:28:50,827 I say to myself... 1530 01:28:50,931 --> 01:28:55,724 that I will train the children of the people of this island 1531 01:28:55,827 --> 01:28:58,896 in what I do before it was just memories. 1532 01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:02,965 And these new guys in front, 1533 01:29:03,068 --> 01:29:05,965 you are facing a big challenge, as well. 1534 01:29:06,068 --> 01:29:10,137 You need to share what you learned form us 1535 01:29:10,241 --> 01:29:13,448 to other youth in other places, 1536 01:29:13,551 --> 01:29:15,448 not only on our land, 1537 01:29:15,551 --> 01:29:20,068 but to other fishing communities around. 1538 01:29:20,172 --> 01:29:22,896 I'm very excited, because after today, 1539 01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:27,482 our main job will start to teach other people in other places. 1540 01:29:27,586 --> 01:29:30,517 On the 25th, we will build...to start 1541 01:29:30,620 --> 01:29:32,310 the beginning of the main goal 1542 01:29:32,413 --> 01:29:34,689 of this program. 1543 01:29:34,793 --> 01:29:37,517 You need to share why, 1544 01:29:37,620 --> 01:29:40,310 because if you protect only Apo, 1545 01:29:40,413 --> 01:29:42,586 that's useless. 1546 01:29:42,689 --> 01:29:45,965 We need to protect the whole Philippines, 1547 01:29:46,068 --> 01:29:49,724 and if possible, to whole world. 1548 01:29:49,827 --> 01:29:51,379 We made a big celebration 1549 01:29:51,482 --> 01:29:53,793 and party for that kids. 1550 01:29:56,482 --> 01:29:59,137 On Apo, it's very special because it's, for me, 1551 01:29:59,241 --> 01:30:01,379 the the beginning of something 1552 01:30:01,482 --> 01:30:03,206 greater than us. 1553 01:30:06,689 --> 01:30:10,241 Now, today, we have six professional-level divemaster, 1554 01:30:10,344 --> 01:30:13,206 and two of them are young girls. 1555 01:30:15,137 --> 01:30:17,448 Apo was the beginning. 1556 01:30:17,551 --> 01:30:19,310 Just the beginning. 1557 01:30:33,862 --> 01:30:36,413 Every day as we breathe in the air, 1558 01:30:36,517 --> 01:30:38,206 especially out in the middle of the sea -- 1559 01:30:38,310 --> 01:30:39,758 which I love very much 1560 01:30:39,862 --> 01:30:41,586 because I've grown up in the sea -- 1561 01:30:41,689 --> 01:30:44,379 there are some magic sometimes that come in my head 1562 01:30:44,482 --> 01:30:46,896 that comes when you get older. 1563 01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:48,896 Then the dream also becomes bigger, 1564 01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,896 and sometimes I say that it's an impossible dream, 1565 01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:55,103 but I have a courage also to make my dream happen. 1566 01:30:57,655 --> 01:30:59,275 Like yesterday, when I cross here, 1567 01:30:59,379 --> 01:31:02,689 I think I stopped three times having my engine in trouble 1568 01:31:02,793 --> 01:31:05,344 because I have a boat man there, but this is another thing, 1569 01:31:05,448 --> 01:31:07,551 that you need to train your boat man properly 1570 01:31:07,655 --> 01:31:08,689 because there's a little problem there, 1571 01:31:08,793 --> 01:31:09,965 but he cannot correct. 1572 01:31:10,068 --> 01:31:11,896 So probably if I was not there -- 1573 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,103 I don't know -- maybe they will be blown away. 1574 01:31:14,206 --> 01:31:16,413 If I don't have knowledge about boat or engine, 1575 01:31:16,517 --> 01:31:20,137 we're gonna be drift towards Basilan or Southern Mindanao, 1576 01:31:20,241 --> 01:31:22,896 going together with the stale wrist. 1577 01:31:33,931 --> 01:31:38,034 We are now in a little beach in Siquijor to start the program 1578 01:31:38,137 --> 01:31:39,758 here in this little community, 1579 01:31:39,862 --> 01:31:41,620 which is also a fishing community. 1580 01:31:50,379 --> 01:31:53,241 We're scheduled to meet the mayor 1581 01:31:53,344 --> 01:31:55,000 and hopefully the mayor can see 1582 01:31:55,103 --> 01:31:56,551 the importance of this program 1583 01:31:56,655 --> 01:31:59,344 because the goal of landing here in Siquijor 1584 01:31:59,448 --> 01:32:01,758 is to train one community for free 1585 01:32:01,862 --> 01:32:04,862 in condition that once they complete the whole program, 1586 01:32:04,965 --> 01:32:07,620 they will expand also to the neighboring communities. 1587 01:32:10,517 --> 01:32:13,000 I don't need to go around the whole entire island, 1588 01:32:13,103 --> 01:32:14,689 which is composed of eight towns 1589 01:32:14,793 --> 01:32:18,413 and probably around a couple of hundreds of communities. 1590 01:32:30,965 --> 01:32:33,241 Part of this big dream is to expand this, 1591 01:32:33,344 --> 01:32:35,068 at least in Central Philippines, 1592 01:32:35,172 --> 01:32:37,482 and if I can do this in the entire country of Philippines, 1593 01:32:37,586 --> 01:32:40,689 maybe expand also outside the country if I have time. 1594 01:32:52,241 --> 01:32:54,172 You dream every day, 1595 01:32:54,275 --> 01:32:56,827 and you dream for the purpose. 1596 01:32:56,931 --> 01:32:58,655 You daydream. 1597 01:32:58,758 --> 01:33:03,517 You just think ahead about the good things you do. 123548
