Here anything in the water just everywhere there are. These huge seaweed blooms a recent problem they caused by rising water temperatures along with agricultural fertilizers washing into the ocean from brazil sea turtles come to the surface to breathe and then find themselves trapped in the thick of seem great. Without help they would die in the heat every rescued sea turtle is a cause for celebration when a severed turtle its just a lot if you like them helping. But its not just startles its everything the ocean itself and everything we traverse its wonderful to me and i dare you for doubt but if. The team had been working here for days on end they have rescued 25 turtle so far many of them are undernourished and weak and will need to be nursed back to health. The sickest turtles approach would it help. Oh. Yeah. Were fine with the undecided in algiers but not on the route no theres no mayday and really is. There something here on these totals a suffering from a chuma disease found in a ring turtles or dead will surgically loose some of the growths this one is making it hard for the turtle to sing. Could a sound has a network of Wildlife Conservation is to call on it other these turtles are healthy but need to put on some weight theyll go to the aquarium for a while to recover bridge over.

Every summer hurricanes pass through the caribbean in recent years theyre prone move frequent and gaining force the strongest storms bring death and destruction mike here in the bahamas and the Dominican Republic the storms are being fueled by rising water temperatures a hurricane could spell the end of the cooney alaska peleg over panama until maginnis is worried storms are growing more powerful and the sea level is rising. As it was. Until and sila a fishing today. These waters have long sustained the indigenous people. And theyre not the only one of the god creator of the city gave it to us gave us this privilege we should enjoy it but we also have to take care of it or we have to preserve nature the environment in. Which theyre hoping to find enough fish for a meal and perhaps some to sell about the. Its proving difficult this morning. That this is a sea cucumber the chinese like the. First this is a lion fish. Theyre venomous if it stings you you could die. There were. The water is shallow here the island is surrounded by a reef that forms a natural barrier. To. The isnt humbert that guy in this has an impact on us every time it rains or high waves hit the island the island is flooded and the much. Fiftys respondents are inhabited some of the most beautiful have hotels built on them to 2 ists. They cannot live on the other islands many men workers fishermen to organize the women sell their handicrafts. Mansions island that is who is 300 meters long and 150 meters wide just about every inch of the island is built on. Multigenerational families live under a single ruth. And then my mother sleeps here my fly sleep here my father sleeps there too this is our room there one of the. Local people have dug up much of the reef and now they also have Climate Change to contend with the sea levels are rising and the islands days look to be numbered. The men who were where there was on earth the end we had unusually heavy. Rain recently it flooded the island our home 2 of them quote the sea water came up to our ankles. It was unpleasant seeing my mother and i bailed out the water all day and we never had anything like this before so youre much worse off. Plows lopez was also worried about his time there with the has become increasingly unpredictable like many locals hes trying to build a protective barrier made of discarded materials and called from the relief. Well the couple looked after we look for coral and fill up the holes with it. So we can build a natural barrier against the water at that point. Local people are removing the coral the pretext there are in hope of protecting their homes its a vicious circle hopes the Global Community will finally take action against Climate Change but i doubt that theres a live one there nature responds to our actions that damage the environment but we have to look after our earth and keep this from getting worse and that will require a change in perspective on the guns into. The government has long ignored the problem theyve given up on the island and say the family should be resettled to the mainland. To move would threaten the firefight of an entire community the old residents are especially reluctant to move. Some of them are here is something we are like elephants you know we want to die in our homeland. That if it wasnt absolutely necessary with Global Warming the storms. We feel that we have to go to a better place ill move out of me hold. A 1000 kilometers to the north there is still cause. To come. As to waters of billys risk taking the beautiful. People he lives around by the wonders of nature but the greatest treasure is under. The Police Barrier reef is the 2nd largest coral reef system in the world. Some of the coral growth is believed to be 7000 years old. Just a few years ago the reef was on the endangered list now its slowly coming back to life. Money for non is helping to preserve the reef shes doing the work shes always dreamed of even as a girl she always knew she wanted to help rescue the coral reef. But i feel like when i go to work its like. When they call me or say all right were going to all do this laughing work here go check the corals here or whatever it is im like all right lets do this lets lets wrap this lets wrap that if. People here in the coastal village of percents live from fishing and tourism both industries depend on the call reef. You know i come on this trip many times many there is a man so blessed and i look at everything that i am that is the front of me and i think i hope one day this doesnt become a memory underwater its apparent that the reef is struggling coral dies when the water becomes too acidic storm surges from increasingly severe hurricanes also damage the range Climate Change is leaving behind a bleached gray emptiness. That many works for marine biologist lisa carne and her n. G. O. S. There are about to harvest some special coral atoll used to reforest the reef. Overdue and so theres no time to waste right now rows are basically a lake there for us this season so just like the trees in the forest provide habitat so out there for some of the other animals the corals do the same on the reef. Through careful research they determined which coral is especially vigorous. When we collect from the donor part i mean we never took more than 10 percent of the large these and these 4 hours that the pirates have a very fast rapid growth rate. They use a technique called micro fragmenting in which small coral colonies are transplanted to other locations. Perhaps a car all of a sudden to 5 centimeter pieces then the pieces a half to. Fragments of hope and because carmel is a living creature they have to work quickly. Small pieces of coral a seeded in places with the original coral has died and they come out here several times a week and play. The fragments on to what they call cookies made into cement mixture. This is a kind of no work but i thread that for the for the future and thats the other matters. About 80 percent of the coral fragments survived these here have been growing for a year and a half as life returns to the reef and other marine life pretends to it. For me to look back at a reef and say i helped i helped in its diversity and for all there is a seed later on for me thats hope that so. If it doesnt lesley is also feeling more optimistic again. If we didnt have saved himself or you know that. Thats not to help. You know. More coral means speech. Engine is official like his father and grandfather before him and now his son too he also brings to fish the pelicans tell him when the fish congregating. Move forward here which 1st year they start fishing i dont. Think this is my goal for. The world as a fisherman didnt also see some salt as a protection of the reef using large next is out of the question for him thank you all the family which also kills the coral so all is well youll get your dog bio there if you dont have an official was there. You know. Theyre there its just them but theres the fishes that if they dont have that are the fishes out cleaning these corals are stuff like that the growth of the idea is that. The real issue is now teeming with life. Like. Begin and if youre. Looking for. Sustainably and all the regulations. That means no spiny lobster today. Its going to help. This species go it off and get back. To where it was once above all. The government has divided the Police Received designs fishermen are only allowed to fish in their own area its a sacrifice but edlund supports the measure. Brought it out in the it is illegal activity i get there bob the great though is that across their birth the future is not going to be here for the kids will. Serve as much as possible the future will be beautiful. Edlin has also become an activist the Police Government has been issuing generous payments for offshore Oil Exploration but the catastrophic gulf of Mexico Oil Spill 10 years ago was when i come home and even joined the backers of a petition opposing offshore Oil Exploration in the United Nations weighed in and the government called a moratorium was. Stretching more for the price not that there is. One little oil spill and the forest for. The people of Police Fighting to save the coral reef. Is taking measurements on the cultivated coral planning to transplant soon the work is supported by project funds and donations karl coverage he has increased to over 50 percent 8 years ago it was just 6 percent. Of their hard work is paying off the rich is recovering. This is not solving the Climate Change craze it are this is a little bit ended bind us some time for the cause of Community People here and i think that the you its the right now they have all the power to make so much change and that is where im trying to get at because they they are the theyre the future. Despite the success there is to cause for concern every securing the reef here but elsewhere its still being destroyed tbilisi very brief region is dotted with tiny islands covered in mangroves the mangroves are as important to the ecosystem as the coral itself. And mangroves provide habitat for lots of other critters that live on the reefs they serve as nurseries in the tap root system mangroves also stabilise the land and keep it together so when you remove them everything falls apart. But thats exactly whats happening many small islands are being starved the mangroves are being chopped down and small hotels are being built sometimes coral is even dug up to shore up the islands theres so many things out of our control for say that were constantly scrambling to mitigate and try to adapt to its frustrating that the one thing we can control which is close to the government is not the actual was the battle to save the ecosystem along polices barrier reef has not yet been one of the new Hurricane Season approaching the new coral fragments need to be firmly embedded so that they will stay put in a storm. Back in curacao not the environmental activists are thrilled when you pull your take is removing a sea turtle from the aquarium that she rescued from the scene wed more than a month ago. Dozens of people have come here to help a way in the sea turtles measuring them and tagging them so they can be identified if theyre brought in again. Today is a big day for everyone was that these were going to be released today there is so much better now so its time for them so. Now its time to head to the beach. The Wildlife Conservation is to attract a lot of attention along the route. Theres actually as a feeling somewhat like a bronx. Disgracefully means that more and more people are going to realize what were doing and i know its. Awfully. Hard to come out of. The water is choppy but clean fishing turtles will be returned to the ocean. Very very excited i feel. They hope to see totals will swim away without turning back. 66 sea turtles have been risky and. Its a special day for a day to shes invited. Local children interests today the birds that have recovered will be returned to the wild. The female flamingo will say goodbye to bob.

Bodie is ready to return to the wild and to free agent its a joyous occasion but theres always a bit of worry will the wild birds accept ody or has she become too tame in acclimated to humans to help the bird flies away for his form and for his other siblings. Other governors time to let go o. T. Is a little uncertain at 1st.
