Native land of fishermen as the population spiked the demand for fish spikes to the high protein and no fact quality made them the go to food for the Health Conscious this put 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. That they are daybreak this is 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 organized girls fisherman have landed their fresh catch hold selfish auctions are underway and fishmongers just. Through the crowd gathering full of bronze some on the range over the sea from. Long before mumbai became the burgeoning micropolis it is today its original inhabitants the only Fishing Community lived very different. But you should leave when my going to get going for there wasnt fishing reste to catch only for the survivors what they were finished prawns of laws or whatever we used to write for the future consumption and when the modernization started when the bronze business started when the dollars came in 19 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 the entire change. Is a 7th generation fishermen who operates 3 fishing boats at the docks he has learned about the change in fish catch all history lessons and witnessing some of it for himself since he began coming out here as chinese. My grandfather used to always tell me that how he was with the fish you know. Was not so strong as in like just one soul or Something Like that and then slowly and slowly the day started in. 3 days 90 days was 5 to 6 days in 20072010 fishing is retained for 12 days now the telling is almost like 15 to 20 days. Though india accounts 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 screen. There is a massive information gap between. The information gap in terms of. Even watts. Isnt in order to minimize their impact on the seafood people are more than willing to do some subtle changes in their seafood eating practices the only thing is this information is not available to them. In any fashion. 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 were good at what it was publicly available only list or know which which of the month which the fish know is known to breed the months very recent of 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 jones the mumbai resident who found out about the calendar year ago and now its tricky follows one cooking for her to. Dig so 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. Also begun to follow the routine like the Seafood Restaurant in mumbai 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 use one fish on the end united must be 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 restaurants start there has been a remarkable change in their Consumer Choices to. Make the food. We were happy eating off. 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 what is it that im eating was a line cord is a farm is that why i like when was this card is this fish fresh. New team behind the calendar hopes the behavioral change can someday result in a shift in seafood demand and supply. Lega nodded. Similarly we have to understand you can order it. So i think this has to come from. And when it comes from going. To get a fisherman can change i want the consumer to nor the fisherman as there nor the fish are in there nor the fish they even know the fisherman i think it can work like that. But the dogs comes to him with the preparation for the next one in the hope that the gap between the Fishing Community and finally closes for. A calendar like this which appeals to the better sense of the consumer 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 just 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 tonnes of fish a year now end up as bycatch. Its a terrible waste and the death of juvenile creatures means a 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 tonnes in 2019 that means of 3rd of the global catch was fished illegally. For stocks 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 corps still ecosystems are very sensitive and need to be allowed to repine and their natural traditional oyster farmers in a small village in the west coast of india who used to harvest oysters in a disorganised manner have learned and adopted a sustainable practice of oyster farming. And they are. The women of the willage rather tired on indias west coast are busy stringing together oyster shells. They used to toil 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 today 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 pros by our backs used to hurt the sun was unrelenting to come up the edge of it all our lives will. Rising temperatures and the increasingly late rainy season have seen the mens catches of fish constantly dwindle. So the women look for ways to mentee and their families livelihoods in 2013 they were approached by the United Nations Development 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 takai the selma. But. Eventually they set up the 1st of the 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 through a water hose is cheap and environmentally friendly. Oyster loudly called spats 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 our the religious along the coast. I knew much about it with a much weaker legit modded up i love my used to go to the fish market to sell my catch my friends would 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 hope groups i thought they should benefit from this just like the. Product that it does our monitor was in well does it. Look like. The women of father are among the 1st oyster farmers in the state of maharashtra and they only earn a few rupees per oyster the money adds up at the end of the year they share the profits among themselves. Not 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 cities the Ocean Cleanup project which is using the Natural Forces of the ocean to passively catch and concentrate plastic in the grid with the fig garbage patch has garnered huge attention worldwide the latest 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 the Conveyor Belt and into dumpsters with this simple principle the organization wants to clean house in rivers that contribute to 2 percent of the oceans plastic before 2025. Lucky more and more people are coming forward with their unique solutions to tackle Water Pollution we found yet another interesting approach arrived in amsterdam on how to plead rivers. All kinds of daybreak swimming in this canal in amsterdam ends up in this catchment cage. A crew from the Water Company of otter net comes by regularly to empty it every week about a 1000 kilograms of stuff accumulates half of it plastic this is how it works there is pumped into a tube lay diagonally across the bed of the canal and a skate 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 right on at this point they weighed all their years responsible for the maintenance of the whole installation but that it is going to start doing research so they will Start Research on how much their stick is being collected and also do research on how 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 bubble 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. The 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 catchment so some 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 flooding classics micro plastics are a serious problem worldwide and jeopardize the food chain none the less offshore a to use in the European Union for example and yet obliged to clean the waterways of plastic despite the health risks we do see now with michael classics because thats a more direct threat to our health that something when we start to wake up if its only already hurting the environment is usually not urgent enough. But they still need the budget around to get plastic out of the water so that stephanie. Challenge fires as as. Plastic trash is a global plague that bubble barriers could help combat the team see a lot of potential for expansion. Move the word here a bit in this series of 2020 but also move towards asia once you have a solidified partnership with parties 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 in badminton 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 your job. Is a lot to me its more than a good one but some other. 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 must die off. Pollution has been a problem here for a long time. It comes from surrounding towns and from farming and the dollar ends up and mama nor this pollution promotes bacterial growth which is harmful to the seabed and that results and low levels of oxygen and the water that will put in a little. The fishermen of mama no 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 when i dared say that over use of fertilizers in the region is causing contaminated water to wash into the lagoon there. Was 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 pollution but theyre doing nothing to fix it. I mean. 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 england over 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 heavy rains caused a great deal of water to washing to the lagoon. 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. 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. Name 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 boat 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 thats all 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 to struggle with the implementation of and among other things leading to a pollutant course like of course life that has a rich biodiversity of marine creatures and environmental activist in the city is trying to raise Awareness Among its rest of us 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 more. By the foremost boats teachers now helps conserve the rich marine life the tribes along the citys schools line and also conducts sure walks during the tide. Motive is lake popular a thing i dont know but ok so more people walk on the beach and if they see and if they find such or die with my life i dont wait very definitely not neutered ok and then theyll start respecting or she saw conservation will happen that 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 live treasure trove of marine life weeping to be explored. With its photographs but the pitot is drawing attention to Waste Disposal and environmental degradation. We are planning to document these things then definitely young scientists. Approach explored beast kind of. Definitely come forward and do some more studies i dont the theory. Is work and preserve speeches from further loss of biodiversity. Simple actions like what fish we choose to eat and how we choose to dispose off take out 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 then. Every 2 seconds a person is forced to flee their homes nearly 71000000 people have been forcibly displaced the consequences coming to satirise our documentary series displaced traumatic humanitarian crises around the world you know. One good thing we know if i didnt go to university to kill people. Or to have my boss come to me and tell me to kill someone to get my and if i dont theyll kill me. People feel for their lives and their future so they seek refuge. Broad but what will become of followers who stay behind and say up the bill my husband went to peru because of the crisis that the wanted if he hadnt gone there we would have died of hunger and i want him down. Just this week to. Be some more good 5 keys to seek for food. Keep clean to prevent contamination looks. Great draw and cook foods to avoid cross contamination. Cook thoroughly to kill microorganisms. Keep food safe temperatures. To prevent bacterial growth. Use safe water and safe Raw Materials to avoid content. Producers are the ones primarily responsible for the safety of the food. But you can protect yourself and your family from seizes a moment by applying the 5 kilos to see for food use them but you also have a role to play here. This is d. W.
