W. The blog got to. 2 deal with i love my d. N. A. Pin as i was the what was coming up. On. My show you guys in the weekend and ive been to back up weve been you know as a monolith. The 1st time i came across the term ocean grabbing i sort of imagined this giant hand 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 Troy Gotti Bandar a makeshift fishing village in western india. But. Huda ismail 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 tata built the mundra ultra mega power plant a 4000 Megawatt Facility fired by coal from indonesia and cooled by water from the arabian sea. Total costs 4600000000. 00 World Bank Share of that 420000000. 00. On a corner cutting that i need much less i live. Much you invent all that much you know its kind of on a fairly or my liquid i think clearly a lot of a lot of. Going to climate but theyre. Not value adding these ideas then and there are a lot of talent. At that and i think that he up on like that. And ill call pointed in the wind and the oil much the market with that kind of money get that. Money its about us and the world does have good if you know. Some sort of. Wall see mussina g. I. Joe which. Theyve nickel. Chippenham im going by the view where theres a yacht team i see you have all my good yasuko. Going to move. A little bit is this world but after a while. Indepth interview is it you. On the gentlemanly. Bull yup it is good to look live mainly to a few fish but in your ears are all of them were. The fishermen of Troy Gotti Bandar are part of the people a Muslim Minority along the kurds 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 democrat about oh just books. 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. 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 is 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 but then it will be and it was general for than any of those it was the animal i mean the candidate of the other but i. Would both know you dont. Know not an owner of a 10 someone going in that. Typically they fish with 2 to 3 boats. Nobody goes out alone. Let out that. I think it will out. There oh. Shrimp are caught using dragnets that have steel weights so the fisherman can drag them across the ocean floor in industrial deep sea fishing this method is justifiably controversial but the small time shrimp fishing in the caribbean really have to be outlawed as a result. I want every man to 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 if wanted to get hasnt. Wanted it all for you but everyone the best when i was the sort of out of the american i was in the lounge and im out in the middle of a good. As when i gave him a quick do i. Care about these dogs and i dont weld. For you i wasnt wearing you where a little is going on with the judge will look when im head is on the little bell and into the air when im trying to get at it but if. It does ill get out of there but im going down the road get on the muslim and more like when you land a minute and you know coming out and then get in on. The people in the middle but im going to tell you coming and going we have more to go to you my disease us all reveal my disease i knew. What i had to get in from the head of the head man i support it when i. Told them that but they could have gone up because i knew where. Your bolt. Well thats and then check up arabia has got some i dont quite grasp it as input going up arabia so you know that i will not get into the same boat as intensely alec and i do sense here because we had this idea that ill handle at those who is union ek united in those that. Are better. I dont matter unless they pull your own put a lot of money and you have to your day in the caribbean the people going up as a model thats what the new unity maybe and they say out of bed and i meant that but i mean nobody up on the 15th they have to pick out of. The better i mean to hand the campus out there in the new. Im back out though i mean as i said at. Any moment of this and if keep it up is something that i mean to put on it is simply out of the now if i dont always. Pay so 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 dead colorado 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. And. Valid and i have never said that. And i think. 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 im sure. Thats how neil susanto and his team fish on the coast of western sri lanka and. 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 way can be putting a little under the might. Be how they are going to be able to. Make it all does seem. A bit of a given they were up to you know negative ads. Appeal even if it was you will find them a very. Good residue of a negative naveen it or not we. Were lucky we didnt. Have any out of the meeting going to my own nightly. On mit you got the money the money the money and then we have a negative family doing. Here. Maybe due to the mood or you know when i look you up with a you know. A little bit of movie you know one or. Some others are there in the garden another little. Yeah bought a real commercial live at that and bought a little to go over there let me but in the minority but it is a little bit of them be careful. As they do it. When i meet meals to santa 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. I. Think as a kid nails wife mary was 90 experienced firsthand 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. All the time or galloping up that he bought a month maybe to fix it up but the men end up not good at not going and what or theyre not plucked out what happened i didnt have that happen that im not that you havent missed a lot of other. Gazi 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 delicate auto the ocean is teeming with life here in kenya. What. If i did 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 you to come and he took us down. To the most of the openings in. The moonlit. Nobodyd you can build a mud using up and down you dont know much as does the. Nobody visible to. Use. The local. Means Something Like we who are together with the mangroves its also the name of an unusual project through a british nongovernmental organization. Sell c o 2 certificates on the International Emissions market but the proceeds Community Projects are financed to provide things like Drinking Water health care and the reforestation of the mangroves. Single. Body youre sending me see. Me. And if you go on like here. When you. See so much you know not to what youre. Not to but yet they say you need to fund a meeting that we need to. Focus on and ghazi 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 form of prohibition 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 fauna they can be destroyed by the nets. The sea bed is entirely sandy in this area. So how much damage can trip fishing cause to justify the crusade being waged against it by environmentalists in the caribbean. According to the most recent studies none at all and they were not going to yeah they definitely want to hear that ambient thing i mean that is that. Youll be in the end theyre going to go down on the on of the other boys if you mind that you might not recorded. And you see them being but i you provided though i mean to prevent the money that is not going to you i mean that is the money that is not a good movie and. At the thought i will get. That im going to do what you want to be and they dont order that i will get. You out when i dont want to get along the end theyll tell then im going to win a lot of that will go gaining a lot of that will get you i think they are going to the only knows it but again but they dont get a lot of the inaugural day. 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 dragging the net cost 6 liters of petrol which cost him about 6. 00 euros one kilo of unprocessed shrimp fetches 3 year 0 c. 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. I am sure most of it. When it is a d. M. Exclusion in this business. He can do is. Go to skinny hell take it in a queue it must. Be in my name who is actually on his. Games. List the discolored is there in the big money sid insist if you dont use. This get is with. Ever. Been money set in is the. Position. Given rivera is a marine biologist and founder of the environmental group. 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 bottle 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. Well nothing at the end i think is a sieve sin in this is that it is good at picking it up or get it done in the store just as good as it was then and foremost and if thoughtless trick to see if it is important if its going to worry about you think and. And there. As 100 in the going to go yet or can not i get out of the if you have a thought it would. Be our daughter and i doubt it will be as they will remember only this is the eat. You up with for years i thought of that episode and i dont think i would ask this honestly. Believe. Me. I see you have not got it badly about. Your laden. Did not sign me much in my ticket out of the bus i just. Didnt know didnt know sunday long. About going to. Get me to go on the u. F. C. Im likin that the. Every summer about 1000. 00 muslim bogen families make the trek from their villages in the interior of the country to the standing 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 from bombay duck and indian ocean fish that is sold in dried form. The women of the family do the drying and processing under the attentive eye of mary ahmed buddha ismails wife. Of the 2 have been married for over 40 years now. So good. Things being said there you have a staff. That a good. Looking out of your maluleke and. They let it happen that you dont have. A lot of the t. V. And dont feel. I need to limit. The amount even thought that was that i had that look like that we told our larry that the one of. The boys have a lot to everybody give a little and you know be able. I just ask you why dont people i love you the bible if you in my living thought of i had those emails. If you never let me we never thats a the bible and if you would say if i began to mount ideas you like to keep it at the end it does would. Go you group yeah you have some International Finance corporation or. I know you supports companies who i have see who we. Report. Those and they will argue to. Work with a good new year. If you. Ceilidh nobody wanted to get on the low but it will likely go on little prickle improvement new way the wall was at its uses. Make it. Look ordinary got to be all over Supreme Court pretty good maybe music about the did it i have sickly medium you use lee it was a little needs of the day and. I dont know. Anything i might. Like there. In 2007 part tell founded a purchase a collective with other small fishmongers 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. And. 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 clearly. You saw the world again. But i think you. Do. Raises the temperature in the outflow canal of the power plant. That warms the temperature of the water on the beach to over 35. 00 degree 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. 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 ive done that was a Bumper Sticker from a good one the same problem other than the guys it depends on you know but its my job on the job orders and not for nothing 10100 tons of it in terms of leno not you know but its nice and easy dumbo you bundlers on monday night youre 21 years and years old when i look up on the. Number of years from you i knew nothing about my book since it was about one number one person who told me to and i the money every month and then you know im not going to the number of troops that you would see who know who im up and im not even. That you dont think that were going to try. To. Kill you to make kokomo just work is a communal effort today project manager. Is out and about with some folks from the nearby village of mckown janey. Its a hard slog to fight through the
