Native land of fishermen as the population spiked the demand for fish spikes to the high protein a new fact quality made them the go to food for the Health Conscious this puts immense pressure on the fisherman to fish during the breeding season or in dangerous waters or even over fish a particular species to meet the rising demand a unique calendar is helping consumers understand this phenomenon so that the fish and the fisherman are better protected. And. That i say daybreak is a still a couple of hours away but business is in full swing at some docks the biggest and oldest swish landing site in coastal mumbai. It is illinois girls fisherman have landed their fresh catch hold selfish auctions are on the way and fishmongers just. Through the crowd gathering full of bronze salmon and range over the sea from. Long before mumbai became the burgeoning metropolis it is today its regional inhabitants the only Fishing Community lived very different. Then you should leave when my going to get going for there wasnt fishing for the survival. Prongs of laws of marketing is what i was used to dry for the chickens option and when the modernization started when the prawns business started when it almost gave me a sixtys and seventys it was all mostly for the exports you know and that is why we started catching a lot for others you know. Change. Is a 7th generation fisherman who operates 3 fishing boats at the docks he has learned about the change in fish catch only history lessons witnessing some of it for himself since he began coming out here as china. My grandfather used to always tell me that how he was with the fish you know. Was not so strong as in like just a one shoulder or Something Like that and then slowly and slowly to do started being in the 3 days 90 days was 5 to 6 days in 20072010 fishing is retained that is now that rolling is almost like 15. 00 to 20. 00 days. Though in the gowns to 6. 3 percent of global fish production fishing for a living could soon become economically and viable for another fisherman in this community. You know works with a group of marine biologists on bringing more of in this to the stream. There is a massive information gap between. The information gathering. Even water. Season in order to minimize their impact on the seafood people are more than willing to do some subtle changes in their seafood eating practices for a living is this information is not available to them. In any fashion. You know your fish is the 1st of its going seafood sustainability guide in india it is a calendar that details the species that can be eaten and which should be awarded in certain seasons. For each fish to collect it what they would need at what it was publicly available and released or know which which of the month which the fish know is known to breed the months very recent. Particular fish should be awarded. To that the months ahead that fish breeds or the fish which gets caught along with that fish. The smith or joe is the mom by a resident who found out about the calendar year ago and now its tricky follows one cooking for her to. Dig for you even though i really like ive stopped eating them for me to 3 months in the year because thats the time that they breed situation however this fish is something we can eat now. Have also begun to follow. Like this. If we have different kinds of dishes on the menu then we would rather use a different fish for every preparation that is on the menu as opposed to those one fish on the end united mostly on the entire menu and that cans and that kind of makes it cool for us makes it slightly challenging to come up with dishes in the sense and the challenge is something that we enjoy. The rest from the start there has been a remarkable change in the Consumer Choices to. Make the food. We were happy eating a fish that are not. All right and that was the idea of seafood for us and it was exotic but today we want to know where did this come from. That i mean thing was that line cord is a farm is that why i like when was this court is this fish fresh. New team behind the counter and hopes the behavioral change can someday result in a shift in seafood demand in supply. Legen only mangoes in windows and probably in some similarly they have to understand you can order it. So i think this has to come from. And when it comes. To going to fishermen i want the consumer to nor the fisherman as theyre not the fish when they know the fish they even know the fisherman i think it can work like that. The day. Comes to interfere with the preparation for the next one in the hope that the gap between the Fishing Community and final consumers closes for. A calendar like this which appeals to the better sense of the can see what must have given you an idea of how big the problem is fishing is a Huge Industry worldwide but remember these Natural Resources in our oceans are not endless lets take a closer look at the impact overfishing has on our planet. Fishing is big business the uns food and Agriculture Organization estimates the value of trade in fish and Fishery Products were 29000 at 145000000000 euros the catch of fish and seafood has been growing for decades between 1951990 the global catch sawed from under 20000000. 00 tonnes a year to about 80 the rate of growth then slowed and the catch is now around 19000000 tonnes a year. Small scale fishing is responsible for close to half the volume the United Nations is keen to support sustainable fishing practices and theres back to a number of projects. One key factor is using nets with the right size mash if its too tight baby fish or traps and often perish that contributes to the depletion of stocks industrial bottom trolling with dragnets is also very destructive of the sea floor and did. See regions. And of course all kinds of other species get trapped and often die this is called bycatch it shouldnt be caught in the 1st place. Its estimated that close to 30000000. 00 tons of fish a year now end up as bycatch. Its a terrible waste and the death of juvenile creatures means of stocks of these other species are depleted as well. A huge problem is Illegal Fishing that is catching more fish than allowed under quota regimes often in marine protected areas. The volume is estimated to have been about 30000000 tons in 2019 that means a 3rd of the global catch was fished illegally. For stops to regenerate Illegal Fishing has to be stopped as does fishing at spawning grounds during the spawning period marine protected areas need to be expanded and patrolled to enforce compliance with fishing restrictions these areas currently covered just 5 percent of the oceans. Marine and corsten ecosystems are very sensitive and need to be allowed to rep lewis and then natural traditional oyster farmers in a small village in the west coast of india who used to harvest oysters in a disorganized manner have learned and adopted a sustainable practice of oyster farming. Here. The women of the willage of rather tired on indias west coast are busy stringing together oyster shells. They used to doyle for long hours looking for wild oysters but often returned with a negligible catch. All the hard work did little to increase their. Incomes. So what theyre lucky larry was that one army earlier typically used to go to the shore and collect naturally formed oysters in the creek might be used to earn very little money and oysters could only be collected for about 8 days a month our hands and legs were always throws by our backs used to hurt the sun was unrelenting to. The edge of it all at idle. Rising temperatures and the increasingly late rainy season have seen the mens catches of fish constantly dwindle. So the women look for ways to maintain their familys livelihoods in 2013 they were approached by the United NationsDevelopment Program with a plan that would simplify their lives by enabling them to farm oysters in the creek near their homes. They were offered training and funding and asked to form a Selfhelp Group takata. It out there but. Eventually they set up the 1st city womens Selfhelp Group and after they were shown how to do it this started oyster farming the ropes are threaded with empty oyster shells oysters feed on plankton and waste and help keep the water clean oyster farming in course of what was is cheap and environmentally friendly. Oyster loudly across pats attach themselves to the empty shelves within 12 to 14 months they grow into oysters big enough to sell and eat in better thought the crops are bountiful. The initial investment of about 75. 00 euros to buy bamboos and groups has proved to be very worthwhile similar projects have sprung up in out the religious along the coast. Live much about it with a much bigger legend. My used to go to the fish market to sell my catch my friends during the tell me customer reviews saw your photo in the newspaper and heard about the success of your project tell us more and i would say you can do it too you need to form a Selfhelp Group to get the project going mommy much him at the fish market i hope set up Selfhelp Groups i thought they should benefit from this just like the. Broader did it does our monitor was in well this is. The women of are among the 1st oyster farmers in the state of maharashtra they only own a few rupees per oyster the money adds up at the end of the year they share the profits among themselves. Now pollution of the oceans and rivers is one of the biggest problems of the 21st century massive quantities of Plastic Waste ends up in our seams the ocean clean up project which is using the Natural Forces of the ocean to passively catch and concentrate plastic in the group with the fish garbage patch has garnered huge attention worldwide believe this project focuses on cleaning up dirty rivers. The interceptor on wheels recently is a large catamaran which collects plastic we used from rivers from the surface along the barrier over a Conveyor Belt and into dumpsters with this simple principle the organization wants to clean house and reverse that contribute to it people said of the oceans plastic before 2025. Lucky more and more people are coming forward with a unique solutions to tackle Water Pollution we found yet another interesting approach right to amsterdam on how predrill was. All kinds of debris swimming in this canal in amsterdam ends up in this catchment cage. A crew from the Water Company but annette comes by regularly to empty it every week about a 1000 kilograms of stuff accumulates part of it plastic. This is how it works air is pumped into a tube lay diagonally across the bed of the canal and as scapes through holes in the tube the bubbles bring the waste to the surface the waste is then directed with the help of the current into the receptacle near the bank keeping it out of the north sea. Boats and fish can pass through the bubble barrier the extra oxygen is also good for the water. The great bubble barrier was devised by an amsterdam startup of the same name yeah right on at this point they break the barrier is responsible for the maintenance of the whole its still ation 3rd to that and it is going to start doing research so they will Start Research on how much their stick is being collected it will also do research on how out easy it is to be emptied the Water Company has crews and a fleet of boats that go around and pull trash out of the citys waterways last year that included more than 40000 kilograms of plastic the hope is that bottle barriers will make the job easier and more effective. Thats what this test installation in operation since november should determine. The inventors spent years developing the bubble barrier. There were various challenges such as how to position the tube and resulting screen of bubbles so as to direct trash to a collecting point and how to make best use of currents. But diagonal path is key. For people set up the company they now have a staff of 10. Theres been a lot of resonance the technology is not particularly complex or expensive and it should prove to be very scalable philip hall is one of the inventors of the system and hes continuing to develop it hes currently working on improving the catchment part of the process. With catcher inserts and we still want to improve a couple of things to be. Maybe doing it more dramatically or calling for even smaller sizes of classic because we know that we can catch down to one millimeter in size of floating plastics micro plastics are a serious problem worldwide and jeopardize the food chain nonetheless off for 2 years in the European Union for example and yet obliged to clean the waterways of plastic to spike the health risks we do see now with michael passage because thats a more direct threat to our health thats something when we start to wake up if its already already hurting the environment is usually not urgent enough. But they still need the budget around 2 to get plastic out of the water so that 70. Challenge fires as. Plastic trash is a global plague that bubble barriers could help combat the team see a lot of potential for expansion. Move towards europe within this years of 2020 but also move towards asia once you have a solidified partnership with barclays in asia they hope to set up the 1st the bubble barrier in asia by 2023. What do you feel is becoming a bigger problem with every passing day fishermen in southeastern speed was shocked to see thousands of dead fish on their shores while they battle about the causes of this phenomenon with environmental activists and the provincial government it is their livelihood which is that. This lagoon is their life for money where martinez and ruben back fishing is not just a job its a labor of love they ply their trade in the mama nor the smallest sea in the south of spain its the largest salt water lagoon in europe but i mean if. Its a lot to me its more than a lagoon its a mother. Those waters feed us and provide our daily bread. But the lagoon is in crisis thousands of dead fish washed up on shore recently and it wasnt the 1st mass die off. Pollution has been a problem here for a long time. It comes from surrounding towns and from farming and the doll ends up in mamma nor this pollution promotes bacterial growth which is harmful to the seabed and that results on low levels of oxygen and the water that. The fishermen of mama know have hung up their nets for now they want to protect the remaining fish population and sales have dropped in any case due to fears of contamination the search for the cause of the mass die off is still under way. Like the fisherman environmental activists believe that pollution is to blame pager garcia and one i dare say that over use of fertilizers in the region is causing contaminated water to wash into the lagoon and. Intensive farming is contaminating the soil and groundwater with nitrates from fertilizers. A lot of that ground and surface water flows into the lagoon. The Agricultural Industry is mainly to blame for this collision but theyre doing nothing to fix it and i think that theyre going to. Have. Studies also indicate that industrial farming in the region may be to blame broccoli lettuce and artichokes are grown here some fields have been irrigated illegally. But some farmers such as minnow martinez deny these claims he says that more and more farmers are switching to modern Irrigation Systems that allow them to reduce the use of fertilizers he says climate and weather conditions are to blame are going to go into other mental old the most are new have to remember that over the last few years weve seen a lot of extremely heavy rainfall. So. For example the rains caused a great deal of water to washing to the lagoon. There youre a moment on. The fishermen agree that Climate Change and flooding is making everything worse thats why farmers have to cut down on Fertilizer Use its also a political issue the state needs to impose stricter rules they say which so far its failed to do. On the local government has no regard for what theyve done nothing to protect us here weve been telling them for years that conditions and mamma nor are terrible. Local administrators say its up to federal lawmakers in madrid to introduce tougher regulations. But after years of political instability the Central Government has left southwestern spain to deal with the issue on its own. And its not just the reputation of the lagoon or of this region thats at stake here whats at stake is. The environmental reputation of all of spain we have to learn from this that its time we found a solution. That. By the time a solution arrives it could be too late for man un martinez and other local fisherman some are already planning to sell their boats it might be years before fish stocks return to normal if ever. I dont know what to do. Fishing is my life. Ive been doing it for 13 or 14 years. My family have fished these waters for 4 or 5 generations i know. Some local fishermen have started heading out again even though theres little demand for fish from these waters they feel they have no choice. Looking at the past if you laws are implemented and enforced better this is often lead to an improvement in environmental conditions more than 7000 miles away the city of mumbai too has struggled with the implementation often by among other peoples leaving when you could course like a course like that has a rich biodiversity of marine creatures and environmental activist in the city is trying to raise Awareness Among its residents in order to preserve and protect this valuable ecosystem before its too late. He has photographed more than 250 marine species in recent years. Including the cube the crab and a blue button jellyfish. He didnt discover them somewhere in the wild but off the coast of maine. By the foremost should know helps conserve the rich marine life the tribes along the citys schools line and also conducts sure walks during the tide. More t. V. Is like popular a thing in life i dont know but ok more people walk on the beach and if they see and if they find its actually or die with my life i dont wait very definitely not me ok and then theyll start respecting or should think so or the conservation will happen at will magically. The beaches of mumbai i want to some of the most polluted waters in the world but the 167 kilometers of coastline us to let treasure troves marine life waiting to be explored. With its photographs but the pitot is drawing attention to Waste Disposal and environmental degradation. But we are planning to document these things then definitely young scientists will. Approach it explored be. Different it may come forward and do some more studies i dont the theory. Is work and preserve mumbais beaches from further loss of biodiversity. Simple actions like what fish we choose to eat and how we choose to dispose off a takeout container has a life changing impact on marine animals and plants lets call it the responsibility of being a human being i would leave you with that thought wed be back next week with yet another episode until them.
