In the nigeria where there was one at the end we had unusually heavy rain recently it flooded the island our home to them put this in 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. Allows lopez was also worried about his home there with the has become increasingly unpredictable like many locals hes trying to build a protective barrier made of discarded materials and culled from the reef was only got 40 miles up as we look for coral and still. 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 they are right that theres a lot of one that 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 that will require a change in perspective on the guns into.

Money for non is helping to preserve the reef shes doing the work shes always dreamed of. You can assume she was you she want to help rescue to coral reefs. What i feel like when i go to work its like. When they call me and say all right were going to go all do this laughing burkey or go check the corals here or whatever it is im like all right lets do this lets lets wrap this lets wrap today. 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 god bless and i look at everything that i am that if their 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 into a city storm surges from increasing use of the hurricanes also damage the rains Climate Change is leaving behind leached gray emptiness. Many works for marine biologist lisa kohn and in chino frank. Theyre about to harvest some special coral atoll used to reforest the reach of the overdue and so theres no time to waste right now the rows are basically a lake there for us this season so just like the trees in the forest provide a habitat so out there for so many 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 probably we never get more than 10 percent but there are the large these and these 4 are that the birds have a very fast rapid growth rate. They use a technique called micro fragmenting in which small coral colonies are transplanted to other locations. As the harvest is carl to sort into 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 die and they come out here several times a week and play. The fragments on to what they call kookiness mining to cement mixture. This state was a god i dont work but its for that for the for the future and thats all that 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 hunt. For me to look back at our reef and say i helped i helped in its diversity and for others to see it later on for me thats hope thats hope. It didnt leslie is also feeling more optimistic again. If. We didnt have been so for. The. Start. More coral means speech.

There if you dont have any fish to walk to. The reef is then projects the fish is happy if they dont have that i have the fishes out here in these corals and stuff like that the growth of that is that. The ratio is now teeming with life. Like. Begin to grow or you are. Just not going to. d sustainably and it serves all the regulations. That means no spinal lobster today. d is going to help in this species though and often get back to. Where it was once the book. The government has divided the beliefs region designs fishermen or fish in their own area d its the sacrifice of an indian supports the nation. About it that they do it is illegal activity i get them off the brake they only. Let across their birth a future is not going to be here for a kid you know.

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 reef is recovering. This is not solving the Climate Change craze it all this is a little bit and they would bind us some time for the cause of Community People here and i think that you its the right know they have all the power to make so much change and that is where im trying to get at because they are that they are the future. Despite this excess theres still cools to consume every skew in brief here but elsewhere its still being destroyed to beliefs very brief region is dotted with tiny islands covered in mangrove 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 sold the mangroves are being chopped down and small hotels of being built sometimes cover all 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 bell and that is not the control was the battle to save the ecosystem along polices barrier reef has not yet been one of the Hurricane Season approaching the new coral fragments need to be firmly embedded so that they will stay put in a storm.
