Lot of all of the. 2 deal was i love buying a pin as i was a what was coming up. On. My show you know as the weekend and ive been with a couple of bend you know as a monolith. The 1st time i came across the term ocean grabbing i sort of imagined this giant head. That was tearing the skin off the ocean it turns out the behind the term is in fact a sinister alliance of very different interests including Development Politics private industry and Environmental Protection groups all hoping to subject our oceans to a new world order. At the beginning of my journey along the front lines of this new development i wasnt aware of how diverse the lives of people on the coasts really are and how closely intertwined they are with the ocean i had no idea that decisions upon which these people have little to no influence had such long lasting effects here did you know that 120000000 people live from fishing and that half of those people are women. Or that 2 thirds of the fish eaten around the world comes from coastal and small fishing operations. Indeed it is in these Living Spaces that the latest variation of global greed is looking for its next catch. More rules more restrictions more fish more profit. Were in a place called forgot the bond are a makeshift fishing village in western india. Is the 1st fisherman i meet on the trip. He has been fishing here for over 20 years it was a good life until 2012 when in a neighborhood directly next to his village the Indian Multinational Company top built the mundra ultra mega power plant a 4000 Megawatt Facility fired by coal from indonesia and cooled by water from the arabian sea. The total costs 4600000000. 00. World bank share of that 420000000. 00. And the final cutting that i needed much less a way last. Month or the much you know its kind of on a fairly or my language that i think a lot of a lot of. You have going there good on it but they have. Not value adding these ideas then and then i thought about. This at times i think that he up on my life. And ill call pointed in the wind and one of my 2 market clearly taking. Money. Out of it but its about us and the world does have kind of you know. Some sort of. Wall see mussina g. I. Joe which. Was a. Little. Bit have a little bit of a bunny view where theres a yacht the mice you have all migrate away yasuko. Going to move or mold can be really. This is given us a while but after a while or while youre in debt general you as it here. On the gentlemanly. Thought you have been used here to look a little cooler maybe looted a few fish but in your ears are all of them were. The fisherman of true god he bandar are part of the people a Muslim Minority along the coach coast and know their history here goes back over 200 years they typically dont show up in any statistics or registries. Officially they dont even exist at least not as people whose lives needed to be taken into consideration by tata when it built its power plant they are the unaccounted for the ordinary people who get in the way of great change or at least in the way of great greed. While buddha is mio watches the daily catch arrive a fishing village on the other side of the world is waking from its slumber. There are no cars and bought a dell colorado just books. Where. I get to know a man named Carlos Martinez and his wife maria mendez who like most people in the village live off of the shrimp and lobster catch. Its been this way for generations since their ancestors settled here they too are the unaccounted for the people who lost their lands to the plantation barons of the 19th century. As we get to know each other i learned to appreciate in both of them the certainty with which they trudge through a life that really has no certainty and certainly has very little money. In. The world. The ocean is often fickle. The shrimp only come twice a year and sometimes not at all still carlos doesnt want to think about any other kind of work and around here there was no other work anyway. There are no streets leading to bought a dell colorado all there is is a river that flows into the caribbean just a few kilometers away from the village the fishermen call the transition to the sea the barrier indeed when the sea rears its temperamental head it can be an unbreachable obstacle for their boats. But when you love the ocean it will love you back as unpredictable as it may be again for the little the animal it was general for than any other over. The animal i mean with the candidate of the other but i have a barrel bottom of all your. Not no no no not at all on osama going that was he on a. Typically they fish with 2 to 3 bucks. Nobody goes out a long. Letter. I think it is well out. There oh. Shrimp are caught using dragnets that have steel weights so the fishermen can drag them across the ocean floor in industrial deep sea fishing this method is justifiably controversial but does small time shrimp fishing in the caribbean really have to be outlawed as a result. I would never in my day go into into mental. Big getting anything out of the pentagon come i dont. Eat the money i come when i want to go out again it went to the it has. Wanted it all for everyone to bend but im going to sort out of it i want to come up with in the lounge and hamas. Is going up again in the. Gallup i feel toward the end i dont know where im working. For you i wasnt well you have both know it going on with the judge or the lead is until the bell and until the end when ive got to get it done. And done it ill get out of there but that im done the most to get on the muslim and im even more like more when you land the minute and you know coming out and then. You get more and more people are coming home but im going to tell you talking and when im gone we have a more of a quote ill go to you my disease as only the. Part of what i had to get in from the head of the head of man as a part of it when i know. That what they could have grown up on what i knew was. Peoples united the own bolt. When i send them a check up arabia theres going to come i dont quite grasp it and battalion going up arabia so you know that i will not get into the sailboat as intensely alec and i do things here because theres a lot those who are and see me and ek united in that. I dont matter unless they pull your own for a lot of money and you know through your day in the caribbean the people going up as a model thats what the new unity maybe and theres a lot of space and i meant that but i mean those are the at on the few they have the pieces that are. Better i mean i hand the campus there in the new. Im back out though i need a nose and i get up at. Any moment of this and if keep it up its a song that i mean that but its one of the simply out of you know out of all these. Cases chavez is the founder and president of a Fishing Cooperative that for 4 years now has been fighting a tenacious battle against far reaching decisions taken in the distant capital he doesnt do it for himself but for his neighbors and his village. Beyond fishing there is limited opportunity for making a living and feeding a family and bought a dell called a bottle and the business profits are minimal and most people dont even fish for more than what they need themselves its. The places distinguished by an unusual sense of social connection and warmth. Most visitors would think bought a dell colorado just fell out of some imaginary world beyond time but the problems here are very real. Politik and i thought that at that. Time that. There are between 6. 00 and 8. 00 men per boat with a net that weighs one and a half tons and a beach to pull their catch on shore. Thats how neil susanto and his team fish on the coast of western tree lanka in calcutta. To the detriment of the fishermen in this area more and more hotels have sprung up for tourists from all around the world. By the lake im keeping a little under the minute. They hold their blanket im going to be one of the idea. Is if i havent made it or. A bit of a given we were up to you know negative ads didnt. Believe it it wasnt going to mean very. Device happy grew up in agony now remember not be me. Well again we did have a negative. In my doing what i can spend our money doing it on. My own net. And im going to get the money the money the money and then when i think negatively and i do it. I will be a good. Neighbor due to the mood or you know when i leave you. Will you know when i give you what. You wanna. Some of us are there in the garden and never did. You just say. Live and then bottle or to go over the let me but in a manner i am but it is a Little Family care for irregular they do it. When i meet meal susanto for the 1st time he still doesnt have a license telling him which section of the beach he is allowed to use. His fishing anyway though. After all he needs to provide for his family and pay his 12. 00 employees. As a kid nails wife mary was santy experienced 1st hand how her parents were driven from the fisheries off the coast of nigam bow about 200 kilometers south of her new home. She knows what happens when the hotels start popping up. That immortal galloping up that he bought a month maybe to the bank at the time and open up at adonia and what ought to have that level of detail without having to have not have it but not that immediate happening is a lot of thought that if you. Ghazi is a sleepy village on the Southern Coast of kenya. Nearly everyone here lives off the ocean and they fish around the clock. Compared to buddhist catches in india or the yields from carlos and bought a dell colorado the ocean is teeming with life here in kenya. Like. I said it. Only fishes during the day. While the night fishermen are still selling their catch on the beach hes getting his boat ready to go out. As a younger man could only think of one thing getting out of gaza. He traded his life in the village for temporary jobs in the city that is until he realized that he just couldnt live without the ocean. Doesnt want to be the monkey took us down. To the movie openings in. The moonlit. Nobodyd you can build an image is nothing done we dont know much as does the. Nobody visible to. Use. In the middle of the funny. Means Something Like we who are together with the mangroves its also the name of an unusual project through a british nongovernmental organization. C o 2 certificates on the International Emissions market with the proceeds Community Projects are financed to provide things like Drinking Water health care and the reforestation of the mangroves single. See were going to spend our time in me. If you have on my heels. When you. See so much to know not to but yet theres a lot youre welcome. Not to but you need to fund a meeting that we do need to. Focus on. Environmental protection is a community effort. Is a successful project that relies on local knowledge and cooperation with the fisherman. In costa rica on the other hand carlos and his colleagues mostly view Nature Conservation as a former profit bishan imposed by a far away government. The shrimp dragnets of course turn up the ocean floor. But near the coast here there are no coral reefs or precious marine fun and they can be destroyed by the nets. The sea bed is entirely sandy in this area. So how much damage can shrink fishing cause to justify the crusade being waged against it by environmentalists in the caribbean. According to the most recent studies none at all i dont know what im going to be at a definite when i get in that im young thing i mean that is the. Day youll be in the end were going to go to the other one of the only other places in my name on the on the record in the end all those years and youll hear them being but i you know i mean the girl bent on learning that isnt what i mean that is not mean that its not a good movie and a. Good that im going anyway he will be empty they dont order that i will get. You out when i dont want to get along the end theyll tell him im going to win a lot of that youre going to gain a lot of that will get you im saying it but you know the only knows it but again what im getting at a lot of the new got a way. To fish for shrimp you 1st need to drag a net for about 20 minutes along the ocean floor. That is the easier part of the process. Then comes the hard part. First the weights that hold the net on the ocean floor have to be hoisted up. And then the net is pulled back into the boat. Sometimes its fuller than others. Carloss calculation is simple. One hour of driving the net cost 6 liters of petrol which cost him about 6. 00 euros one kilo of unprocessed shrimp thats just 3 euros so everything under 3 kilos is a loss on a good day he catches about 200. 00 kilos in half an hour on a bad day even after hours of hard work he comes up with a miserable yield that doesnt even cover his petrol costs or his personal needs. Carlos and maria see ocean grabbing in this case an expansion of maritime conservation zones as a direct attack on their livelihood. And why for most there it. Wanted to c. D. s. Exclusion. Even. Disc even a youll take it in a queue it must. Be in money. Games. Theyve discovered is there in the big money sand insist if you dont use. This get is with. Ever. With money said. Livin rivera is a marine biologist and founder of the Environmental Group corp salty dog for 4 years now she has been moderating discussions between the bottle colorado fish and cooperative and the government of costa rica. Shes been making the journey to bought a dell colorado a lot in recent years. This time shes taking the long boat trip to prepare the fisherman of the cooperative for a National Fisheries congress in the capital. Many friendships have been formed over the years. I listen at the end i think is a subset of this is that it was good at picking it up for the dead in the store thats the good news it was then and foremost and its thoughtless great to see if it isnt clear that this is going to be out in. And there now you know i mean as in you going to go yet in the what i get out of the if you have a thought it was. In the realm of the thought that it would be accidental remember only this is the eat. You up with for years i thought of every demographic i would ask this one as. Easy. As you have but it badly about. Their laden side. You know sonny much to my ticket out of the. Way one of the theyve been. Known to not sunday can loan. Me out. On the u. S. C. Im likin that the. Every summer about 1000. 00 muslim bugger families make the trek from their villages in the interior of the country to the sending fishing areas along the gulf of kush. All together they are about 10000 people. The fishing season lasts about 8 months during which they live in improvised shelters without electricity or water theres been no Drinking Water since the only fresh water well was spoiled by salt water from the discharge tunnel of the power plant. They primarily fish for bombay duck an indian ocean fish that is sold in dried form. The women of the family do the drying and process and under the attentive eye of mary ahmed buddha ismails wife. The 2 have been married for over 40 years now. So good. Things being said tell us that. That a day. With the family i. B. M. Are real and. They let it happen that you dont have. A lot of might be available if. I need to leave home happy for the man even thought that was that i had that look my dad told her lover that the one of. The boys have a lot to everybody i give and then you will be able. I just ask you why dont people i love you to find. My live in the bed those emails. That leave you never let me we never thats a the black community but. If i began to mount as you like to keep it at the end it does would. Go you group yeah you have to do International Finance corporation or a super rich. I know silly supports. I have see. The board. Was a noble idea to. Work with a good leader. Here. Ceilidh though but wanted to get. Lucky girl neurotically broom and new way the wall was. Low courtney will be incorporated you will be muted about that i have we need new years. Day and he. And. I met. A guy here back. In 2007. Founded a purchasing collective with other small fish mongers in the region their goal was to help relieve fishermen of their debt by demanding higher prices on the markets for their fish. And his effort helped create an environment of trust and friendship. In. Order for the part tell came up with the idea of suing the world bank for damage compensation buddha immediately got on board. And then i realised here is a muslim and a hindu working together in a way that seemed incredibly natural to take on one of the most powerful organizations in the world. So he really wouldnt. Go. And use a blue way bigger than the world a good. Order to stay there. Too but i think you are really lucky it was good but. What i do know we still have the will almost i depend do. You. Raises the temperature in the outflow canal of the power plant. That warms the tempered. Of the water on the beach to over 35. 00 degrees celsius and a warm wind blows through the settlement it feels like a desert. Every year the power plant burns 10. 00 to 12000000. 00 tons of coal. At full pelt that translates 263000 tons of c o 2 emissions per day. And. Given these numbers a c o 2 project in a small remote village on the kenyan coast would seem pretty insignificant at 1st glance. But that doesnt concern the people of gaza. Whats important for them is that money coming from their trade and c o 2 emissions is flowing from industrialized countries into local development projects. Gazi is an example of what is possible. More and more villages along kenyas coast are taking that example to plan their own Community Projects to be financed by the trade in c o 2 emissions. Physically coming to the same on done one of the robotic arm with one same problem by the content guys that ones on you know but its my job on the job or is this not for you not me 10100 s. Have been in terms of leno not you know but its nice and seems its only monday was a monday night you were in your twenties when you said youre missing the full price of a blunder. In bread you had some. New a new number ive got my book since it was the most well known walking books and sold to a nightly money a month in the you know the moment of truth that you will see who know who im a nobody. I. Dont think it will really sound. Cool to me coco camote as work is a communal effort today project manager. Is out and about with some folks from the nearby village of mock on jamie. Its a hard slog to fight through the mangroves. 2 times a month the spring tide floods the entire forest leaving a deep viscous foul smelling quagmire in its wake if you fall down typically all you get is laughter because it happens to everyone
