Orca Conservation, Shark Ethics, and David Attenborough’s Ocean Film

Orca conservation takes center stage as we highlight an inspiring community-led effort to protect these iconic marine mammals. Andrew explores how nearshore ocean heroes are driving real change, and why their stories matter more than ever. Learn how protecting your local waters can lead to healthier oceans worldwide—and why it’s time we recognize those leading the charge.
Shark encounters on social media spark a deeper discussion on wildlife ethics, as Andrew reacts to a TikTok video that demonstrates exactly what not to do. Wrapping up the episode is a look at David Attenborough’s new film “Ocean”, including an eye-opening sequence on bottom trawling and what it reveals about modern ocean challenges. Whether you’re an ocean lover or new to marine conservation, this episode offers compelling stories that educate and inspire.

01:00:25,958 --> 01:00:26,541
about orcas.
25
01:00:26,916 --> 01:00:27,708
We're going to be talking about
26
01:00:27,708 --> 01:00:28,458
what not to do
27
01:00:28,458 --> 01:00:29,333
with the shark by
28
01:00:29,333 --> 01:00:29,916
looking at a
29
01:00:29,916 --> 01:00:30,625
TikTok video that
30
01:00:30,625 --> 01:00:31,041
I found.
31
01:00:31,541 --> 01:00:31,833
And of course,
32
01:00:31,833 --> 01:00:32,166

called Ocean.
40
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:38,416
Haven't seen the
41
01:00:38,416 --> 01:00:39,000
movie yet, but I
42
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:39,500
want to cover
43
01:00:39,500 --> 01:00:40,125
some of the
44
01:00:40,125 --> 01:00:41,000
aspects of it,
45
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:41,375
especially
46
01:00:41,375 --> 01:00:42,125
there's a
47
01:00:42,125 --> 01:00:42,833
trawling scene
48
01:00:42,833 --> 01:00:43,333
that I think
49
01:00:43,333 --> 01:00:44,125
people are a
50
01:00:44,125 --> 01:00:44,250

surprised up.
52
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:45,416
But it's going to
53
01:00:45,416 --> 01:00:46,625
be interesting to
54
01:00:46,625 --> 01:00:47,416
go over that.
55
01:00:47,416 --> 01:00:48,708

01:01:17,041 --> 01:01:17,791
reaction videos.

01:01:17,791 --> 01:01:18,166
You guys find a

01:01:18,166 --> 01:01:18,833
lot of TikToks

104
01:01:19,125 --> 01:01:20,041
like, it's a little
105
01:01:20,041 --> 01:01:20,916
weird to do.
106
01:01:21,166 --> 01:01:21,500
You know, I don't
107
01:01:21,500 --> 01:01:21,916
know what people
108
01:01:21,916 --> 01:01:22,083
are
109
01:01:22,083 --> 01:01:22,666
thinking about.
110
01:01:22,916 --> 01:01:23,375
And then of
111
01:01:23,375 --> 01:01:23,708
course, we're
112
01:01:23,708 --> 01:01:23,833

story.
118
01:01:28,958 --> 01:01:29,750
Here's the thing.
119
01:01:29,750 --> 01:01:30,625
I did an episode
120
01:01:30,625 --> 01:01:32,166
last episode
121
01:01:32,166 --> 01:01:32,958

stories,
124
01:01:35,208 --> 01:01:35,791
especially near
125
01:01:35,791 --> 01:01:36,000
shore
126
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:36,458
conservation
127
01:01:36,458 --> 01:01:36,875
stories
128
01:01:36,875 --> 01:01:37,666
and identifying
129
01:01:37,666 --> 01:01:39,333
heroes that are
130
01:01:39,333 --> 01:01:40,000

131
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:40,500
heroes.
132
01:01:40,916 --> 01:01:41,791
People who are
133
01:01:41,791 --> 01:01:42,333
leading the
134
01:01:42,333 --> 01:01:43,000
charge for
135
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:43,458
conservation
136
01:01:43,458 --> 01:01:44,583
along the near
137
01:01:44,583 --> 01:01:45,500
shore, along the
138
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:45,833
coastline.
139
01:01:46,416 --> 01:01:46,791
Angela
140
01:01:46,791 --> 01:01:49,250
Villagomez, Alia
141
01:01:49,250 --> 01:01:50,750
Haidyat, or from
142
01:01:50,750 --> 01:01:51,500
the center of
143
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:52,041
ocean progress,
144
01:01:52,958 --> 01:01:53,458
or from the
145
01:01:53,458 --> 01:01:53,708
center of
146
01:01:53,708 --> 01:01:53,958
American
147
01:01:53,958 --> 01:01:54,666
progress, sorry,
148
01:01:54,916 --> 01:01:55,500
talking about
149
01:01:55,500 --> 01:01:55,958
ocean
150
01:01:55,958 --> 01:01:56,833
conservation,
151
01:01:57,250 --> 01:01:58,291
going from area
152
01:01:58,291 --> 01:01:59,333
based offshore
153
01:01:59,333 --> 01:02:00,583
conservation to
154
01:02:00,583 --> 01:02:01,250
near shore
155
01:02:01,250 --> 01:02:01,875
conservation.
156
01:02:02,416 --> 01:02:02,875
Something that
157
01:02:02,875 --> 01:02:03,958
kind of surprises
158
01:02:03,958 --> 01:02:04,625
a lot of people,
159
01:02:04,625 --> 01:02:05,791
but also is so
160
01:02:05,791 --> 01:02:06,500
near and dear to
161
01:02:06,500 --> 01:02:06,833
our hearts.
162
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,083
Because as I said
163
01:02:08,083 --> 01:02:08,958
in the episode,
164
01:02:08,958 --> 01:02:09,625
when you look out
165
01:02:09,625 --> 01:02:10,000
from the
166
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:10,500
coastline,
167
01:02:10,500 --> 01:02:10,791
whether you're on
168
01:02:10,791 --> 01:02:11,500
a lake or river,
169
01:02:11,958 --> 01:02:13,083
when you're on
170
01:02:13,083 --> 01:02:13,666
the coastline of
171
01:02:13,666 --> 01:02:14,083
an ocean,
172
01:02:14,083 --> 01:02:14,833
you look out into
173
01:02:14,833 --> 01:02:15,083
the water.
174
01:02:15,125 --> 01:02:15,666
You want to see
175
01:02:15,666 --> 01:02:16,166
clean water.
176
01:02:17,083 --> 01:02:17,208
You want to see
177
01:02:17,208 --> 01:02:17,416
maybe some
178
01:02:17,416 --> 01:02:17,708
wildlife
179
01:02:17,708 --> 01:02:18,500
out there.
180
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:19,000
You want to see
181
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:19,833
some waves.
182
01:02:19,833 --> 01:02:20,166
You want to see
183
01:02:20,166 --> 01:02:20,833
some habitats,
184
01:02:21,041 --> 01:02:21,250
maybe some
185
01:02:21,250 --> 01:02:22,208
seagrass, maybe a
186
01:02:22,208 --> 01:02:23,000
coral reef or
187
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:23,333
something.
188
01:02:23,958 --> 01:02:24,541
But it's always
189
01:02:24,541 --> 01:02:25,083
fun to see
190
01:02:25,083 --> 01:02:25,416
something
191
01:02:25,416 --> 01:02:25,916
healthy.
192
01:02:25,916 --> 01:02:26,208
You don't want to
193
01:02:26,208 --> 01:02:27,666
see anything that
194
01:02:27,666 --> 01:02:29,291
looks green, like
195
01:02:29,291 --> 01:02:30,250
that's algae
196
01:02:30,250 --> 01:02:30,791
related or
197
01:02:30,791 --> 01:02:31,541
that smells,
198
01:02:32,166 --> 01:02:33,166
or you can smell
199
01:02:33,166 --> 01:02:33,625
like sometimes
200
01:02:33,625 --> 01:02:34,125
you can smell
201
01:02:34,125 --> 01:02:34,833
like diesel,
202
01:02:35,041 --> 01:02:36,000
gasoline and sea
203
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:36,833
oil slicks.
204
01:02:36,833 --> 01:02:37,166
You don't want to
205
01:02:37,166 --> 01:02:37,583
see that.
206
01:02:37,583 --> 01:02:38,041
You want to see
207
01:02:38,041 --> 01:02:39,416
clean oceans.
208
01:02:39,666 --> 01:02:40,333
And to do that,
209
01:02:40,333 --> 01:02:41,333
we need people to
210
01:02:41,333 --> 01:02:41,750
step up.
211
01:02:42,041 --> 01:02:42,833
We need to focus
212
01:02:42,833 --> 01:02:43,541
on a lot of
213
01:02:43,541 --> 01:02:44,000
ocean heroes.
214
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:44,750
We need to focus
215
01:02:44,750 --> 01:02:45,250
on those
216
01:02:45,250 --> 01:02:46,166
community leaders
217
01:02:46,166 --> 01:02:47,333
that want to help
218
01:02:47,333 --> 01:02:48,791
us save our
219
01:02:48,791 --> 01:02:49,458
coastlines.
220
01:02:49,458 --> 01:02:49,791
And so we're
221
01:02:49,791 --> 01:02:50,041
going to be
222
01:02:50,041 --> 01:02:52,166
talking about one
223
01:02:52,166 --> 01:02:53,416
today, one story
224
01:02:53,416 --> 01:02:54,875
that I want to
225
01:02:54,875 --> 01:02:55,541
cover in this
226
01:02:55,541 --> 01:02:56,083
episode.
227
01:02:56,625 --> 01:02:57,125
Now, this is
228
01:02:57,125 --> 01:02:57,500
always
229
01:02:57,500 --> 01:02:58,166
interesting
230
01:02:58,166 --> 01:02:59,166
because we're
231
01:02:59,166 --> 01:02:59,416
going to be
232
01:02:59,416 --> 01:03:00,333
talking about
233
01:03:01,750 --> 01:03:02,625
something that is
234
01:03:02,625 --> 01:03:03,166
not necessarily
235
01:03:03,166 --> 01:03:04,375
an ocean hero as
236
01:03:04,375 --> 01:03:04,958
an individual.
237
01:03:05,333 --> 01:03:05,583
I'm going to be
238
01:03:05,583 --> 01:03:05,916
talking about
239
01:03:05,916 --> 01:03:06,625
that next
240
01:03:06,625 --> 01:03:07,458
episode.
241
01:03:07,458 --> 01:03:08,416
If you catch the
242
01:03:08,416 --> 01:03:09,166
Mondays episode,
243
01:03:09,541 --> 01:03:10,708
that will be with
244
01:03:10,708 --> 01:03:11,625
a local hero in
245
01:03:11,625 --> 01:03:12,166
the Maldives,
246
01:03:12,750 --> 01:03:13,875
looking to help
247
01:03:13,875 --> 01:03:14,791
with plastic
248
01:03:14,791 --> 01:03:15,625
pollution, single
249
01:03:15,625 --> 01:03:16,125
use plastic
250
01:03:16,125 --> 01:03:16,958
pollution and
251
01:03:16,958 --> 01:03:17,791
what she was
252
01:03:17,791 --> 01:03:18,500
able to do.
253
01:03:18,791 --> 01:03:19,208
But today we're
254
01:03:19,208 --> 01:03:19,500
going to be
255
01:03:19,500 --> 01:03:20,541
talking about
256
01:03:20,541 --> 01:03:23,125
orcas in the San
257
01:03:23,125 --> 01:03:23,916
Juan Islands in
258
01:03:23,916 --> 01:03:24,791
Washington state.
259
01:03:25,333 --> 01:03:25,666
We're going to be
260
01:03:25,666 --> 01:03:26,541
talking about
261
01:03:26,541 --> 01:03:27,166
something, a
262
01:03:27,166 --> 01:03:29,041
community B whale
263
01:03:29,041 --> 01:03:30,208
wise guidelines
264
01:03:30,208 --> 01:03:31,875
that was led
265
01:03:32,333 --> 01:03:33,791
by whale watch
266
01:03:33,791 --> 01:03:34,208
captains,
267
01:03:34,625 --> 01:03:35,208
naturalists,
268
01:03:35,750 --> 01:03:36,333
conservationists
269
01:03:36,333 --> 01:03:36,833
from the San
270
01:03:36,833 --> 01:03:37,458
Juan County.
271
01:03:38,291 --> 01:03:38,625
And so we're
272
01:03:38,625 --> 01:03:38,791
going to be
273
01:03:38,791 --> 01:03:39,083
talking about
274
01:03:39,083 --> 01:03:39,500
some of the key
275
01:03:39,500 --> 01:03:40,958
outcomes and the
276
01:03:40,958 --> 01:03:41,333
conservation
277
01:03:41,333 --> 01:03:41,666
targets
278
01:03:41,791 --> 01:03:42,625
that they talked
279
01:03:42,625 --> 01:03:43,125
about. So here
280
01:03:43,125 --> 01:03:43,541
was the problem
281
01:03:43,541 --> 01:03:44,125
in the early two
282
01:03:44,125 --> 01:03:44,625
by the early
283
01:03:44,625 --> 01:03:45,458
2000s, the
284
01:03:45,458 --> 01:03:45,666
southern
285
01:03:45,666 --> 01:03:46,333
resident whale
286
01:03:47,041 --> 01:03:48,083
orca population.
287
01:03:49,375 --> 01:03:50,083
They basically
288
01:03:50,083 --> 01:03:51,541
were declining in
289
01:03:51,541 --> 01:03:52,666
population due to
290
01:03:52,666 --> 01:03:53,416
a lack of food,
291
01:03:53,416 --> 01:03:53,583
which is
292
01:03:53,583 --> 01:03:54,208
an examine
293
01:03:54,875 --> 01:03:55,458
contaminants and
294
01:03:55,458 --> 01:03:56,250
of course, vessel
295
01:03:56,250 --> 01:03:56,708
noise
296
01:03:56,708 --> 01:03:57,500
distribution or
297
01:03:57,500 --> 01:03:58,166
disturbance.
298
01:03:58,958 --> 01:04:00,208
Before that, they
299
01:04:00,208 --> 01:04:01,000
were the target
300
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,416
of capture in
301
01:04:02,416 --> 01:04:03,583
1970s and they
302
01:04:03,583 --> 01:04:03,916
just never
303
01:04:03,916 --> 01:04:04,333
recovered. They
304
01:04:04,333 --> 01:04:04,875
lost about half
305
01:04:04,875 --> 01:04:05,541
their population.
306
01:04:05,958 --> 01:04:06,291
They haven't
307
01:04:06,291 --> 01:04:06,708
really fully
308
01:04:06,708 --> 01:04:07,375
recovered from
309
01:04:07,375 --> 01:04:07,666
that. I think it
310
01:04:07,666 --> 01:04:08,083
was 60
311
01:04:08,083 --> 01:04:08,541
individuals.
312
01:04:08,583 --> 01:04:09,000
So this is a
313
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:09,541
little less than
314
01:04:09,541 --> 01:04:10,041
half their
315
01:04:10,041 --> 01:04:10,625
population that
316
01:04:10,625 --> 01:04:10,916
went into
317
01:04:10,916 --> 01:04:11,416
captivity.
318
01:04:12,125 --> 01:04:13,208
And since then,
319
01:04:13,208 --> 01:04:13,500
they've never
320
01:04:13,500 --> 01:04:13,750
really recovered
321
01:04:13,750 --> 01:04:15,000
and it's never
322
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:16,541
fun to be able to
323
01:04:16,541 --> 01:04:17,166
have to go
324
01:04:17,166 --> 01:04:17,583
through that.
325
01:04:18,041 --> 01:04:19,708
So that's what
326
01:04:19,708 --> 01:04:20,583
was going
327
01:04:20,583 --> 01:04:22,125
on in that.
328
01:04:22,375 --> 01:04:23,416
And we want to
329
01:04:23,416 --> 01:04:25,208
make sure that
330
01:04:25,208 --> 01:04:27,041
people know what
331
01:04:27,041 --> 01:04:27,916
happens to these
332
01:04:27,916 --> 01:04:28,708
animals, right?
333
01:04:28,958 --> 01:04:29,625
Down to only
334
01:04:29,625 --> 01:04:30,458
about 73
335
01:04:30,458 --> 01:04:31,166
individuals
336
01:04:31,166 --> 01:04:32,166
by 2024.
337
01:04:32,458 --> 01:04:32,916
That was the last
338
01:04:32,916 --> 01:04:33,250
estimate
339
01:04:33,250 --> 01:04:33,958
that was taken.
340
01:04:34,333 --> 01:04:35,041
And then, you
341
01:04:35,041 --> 01:04:35,458
know, they're
342
01:04:35,458 --> 01:04:36,041
spending less
343
01:04:36,041 --> 01:04:37,833
time foraging,
344
01:04:37,833 --> 01:04:38,833
you know, they're
345
01:04:38,833 --> 01:04:39,750
spending less
346
01:04:39,750 --> 01:04:40,833
time foraging.
347
01:04:40,833 --> 01:04:41,291
They're spending
348
01:04:41,750 --> 01:04:43,500
more time trying
349
01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:45,875
to just be safe,
350
01:04:46,333 --> 01:04:47,125
you know, be safe
351
01:04:47,125 --> 01:04:48,333
and enjoy life.
352
01:04:48,791 --> 01:04:49,291
And that's
353
01:04:49,291 --> 01:04:50,208
really hard.
354
01:04:50,208 --> 01:04:50,750
So spending less
355
01:04:50,750 --> 01:04:51,333
time foraging
356
01:04:51,333 --> 01:04:51,958
successfully due
357
01:04:51,958 --> 01:04:53,375
to boat mascots,
358
01:04:53,625 --> 01:04:54,083
their eco
359
01:04:54,083 --> 01:04:55,083
location. They
360
01:04:55,083 --> 01:04:55,750
are a very
361
01:04:56,250 --> 01:04:58,166
pod friendly.
362
01:04:58,166 --> 01:04:58,791
They're very like
363
01:04:58,791 --> 01:05:00,000
close family knit
364
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,833
orca population.
365
01:05:02,375 --> 01:05:03,166
As many of the
366
01:05:03,166 --> 01:05:03,791
orcas are,
367
01:05:03,791 --> 01:05:04,541
they communicate.
368
01:05:04,541 --> 01:05:05,208
They use noise to
369
01:05:05,208 --> 01:05:05,958
communicate with
370
01:05:05,958 --> 01:05:07,000
whistles, clicks
371
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:07,375
and all
372
01:05:07,375 --> 01:05:07,833
that stuff.
373
01:05:08,458 --> 01:05:09,125
And that leads to
374
01:05:09,125 --> 01:05:09,833
missing feeding
375
01:05:09,833 --> 01:05:10,791
opportunities and
376
01:05:10,791 --> 01:05:11,416
miss deleting
377
01:05:11,416 --> 01:05:13,541
from like dangers
378
01:05:13,541 --> 01:05:14,416
around like ships
379
01:05:14,416 --> 01:05:14,708
or anything
380
01:05:14,708 --> 01:05:15,125
like that.
381
01:05:15,333 --> 01:05:15,916
So, you know,
382
01:05:15,916 --> 01:05:17,083
having that noise
383
01:05:17,083 --> 01:05:18,541
can really affect
384
01:05:18,541 --> 01:05:19,500
these this
385
01:05:19,500 --> 01:05:20,125
population. They
386
01:05:20,125 --> 01:05:20,958
feed together.
387
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:21,958
They communicate
388
01:05:21,958 --> 01:05:22,666
when they feed.
389
01:05:22,666 --> 01:05:23,041
They communicate
390
01:05:23,041 --> 01:05:23,458
when they do
391
01:05:23,458 --> 01:05:24,291
everything and
392
01:05:24,291 --> 01:05:25,041
not being able to
393
01:05:25,041 --> 01:05:25,541
communicate
394
01:05:25,541 --> 01:05:25,875
really
395
01:05:25,875 --> 01:05:26,583
harms them.
396
01:05:26,583 --> 01:05:27,416
So not having
397
01:05:28,500 --> 01:05:29,041
always having
398
01:05:29,041 --> 01:05:30,375
boat problems or
399
01:05:30,375 --> 01:05:31,333
boats around them
400
01:05:31,333 --> 01:05:32,333
that causes noise
401
01:05:32,333 --> 01:05:33,166
can really
402
01:05:33,166 --> 01:05:33,750
affect them.
403
01:05:34,208 --> 01:05:34,791
So let's look at
404
01:05:34,791 --> 01:05:35,250
the local
405
01:05:35,250 --> 01:05:35,916
context here.
406
01:05:35,916 --> 01:05:36,250
Let's look at the
407
01:05:36,250 --> 01:05:36,791
San Juan Islands
408
01:05:36,791 --> 01:05:37,583
are a hub for
409
01:05:37,583 --> 01:05:38,083
whale watching
410
01:05:38,083 --> 01:05:38,750
tourism actually
411
01:05:38,750 --> 01:05:39,291
going out to
412
01:05:39,291 --> 01:05:40,041
Vancouver in a
413
01:05:40,041 --> 01:05:40,500
little bit
414
01:05:40,958 --> 01:05:41,541
in a couple of
415
01:05:41,541 --> 01:05:42,166
weeks, hopefully
416
01:05:42,166 --> 01:05:43,000
going to do some
417
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:44,458
orca whale orca
418
01:05:44,458 --> 01:05:45,083
watching then.
419
01:05:45,125 --> 01:05:46,208
This industry
420
01:05:46,208 --> 01:05:47,166
provides major
421
01:05:47,166 --> 01:05:48,125
local income but
422
01:05:48,125 --> 01:05:49,000
poses risks
423
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:49,833
through noise
424
01:05:49,833 --> 01:05:51,000
pollution, too
425
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:51,416
close approaches
426
01:05:51,416 --> 01:05:53,041
and uncoordinated
427
01:05:53,041 --> 01:05:53,708
boat traffic,
428
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:54,458
especially when
429
01:05:54,458 --> 01:05:54,916
whales are
430
01:05:54,916 --> 01:05:55,250
present.
431
01:05:55,250 --> 01:05:55,666
Everybody gets
432
01:05:55,666 --> 01:05:56,083
excited.
433
01:05:56,083 --> 01:05:56,583
Everybody wants
434
01:05:56,583 --> 01:05:57,000
to see the
435
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:57,791
whales. If you're
436
01:05:57,791 --> 01:05:58,500
paying to go on a
437
01:05:58,500 --> 01:05:59,000
whale watching
438
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,083
ship, you want to
439
01:06:00,083 --> 01:06:00,500
see the whales
440
01:06:00,500 --> 01:06:00,708
when
441
01:06:00,708 --> 01:06:01,291
they're there.
442
01:06:01,291 --> 01:06:02,000
If you see orcas,
443
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:02,416
I want to see the
444
01:06:02,416 --> 01:06:02,833
orcas when
445
01:06:02,833 --> 01:06:03,250
they're there,
446
01:06:03,541 --> 01:06:04,083
but so are
447
01:06:04,083 --> 01:06:04,625
other boats.
448
01:06:04,625 --> 01:06:05,166
So you have to be
449
01:06:05,166 --> 01:06:05,833
mindful of other
450
01:06:05,833 --> 01:06:06,375
boats and you
451
01:06:06,375 --> 01:06:06,916
have to make sure
452
01:06:06,916 --> 01:06:07,333
that these
453
01:06:07,333 --> 01:06:08,041
animals are not
454
01:06:08,041 --> 01:06:09,083
being affected.
455
01:06:09,583 --> 01:06:09,916
Now, who are the
456
01:06:09,916 --> 01:06:10,541
local hearers in
457
01:06:10,541 --> 01:06:11,083
this situation?
458
01:06:11,500 --> 01:06:11,666
It's not
459
01:06:11,666 --> 01:06:12,000
necessarily an
460
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:12,625
individual. It's
461
01:06:12,625 --> 01:06:12,958
actually a
462
01:06:12,958 --> 01:06:13,458
collective of
463
01:06:13,458 --> 01:06:14,000
whale watching
464
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:14,250
operators.
465
01:06:14,958 --> 01:06:15,916
Naturalists and
466
01:06:15,916 --> 01:06:16,583
marine educators
467
01:06:16,583 --> 01:06:17,166
from the San
468
01:06:17,166 --> 01:06:17,958
Juan Islands
469
01:06:18,333 --> 01:06:19,041
decided to take
470
01:06:19,041 --> 01:06:19,541
responsibility
471
01:06:19,541 --> 01:06:20,500
for the problem
472
01:06:20,500 --> 01:06:21,416
within their own
473
01:06:21,416 --> 01:06:22,500
industry. Rather
474
01:06:22,500 --> 01:06:23,416
than wait for
475
01:06:23,416 --> 01:06:23,791
government
476
01:06:23,791 --> 01:06:24,291
mandates,
477
01:06:24,666 --> 01:06:25,250
they voluntarily
478
01:06:25,250 --> 01:06:26,458
developed a code
479
01:06:26,458 --> 01:06:27,333
of conduct. Now,
480
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:28,041
waiting for
481
01:06:28,041 --> 01:06:28,416
government
482
01:06:28,416 --> 01:06:28,916
regulations
483
01:06:28,916 --> 01:06:29,666
mandates doesn't
484
01:06:29,666 --> 01:06:30,416
always happen.
485
01:06:31,083 --> 01:06:31,625
The wait can be
486
01:06:31,625 --> 01:06:32,500
very long. It
487
01:06:32,500 --> 01:06:33,125
could affect the
488
01:06:33,125 --> 01:06:33,833
whale population.
489
01:06:34,125 --> 01:06:34,625
So they decided
490
01:06:34,625 --> 01:06:35,166
to take it upon
491
01:06:35,166 --> 01:06:35,750
themselves since
492
01:06:35,750 --> 01:06:36,208
they are leading
493
01:06:36,208 --> 01:06:36,625
the charge
494
01:06:36,625 --> 01:06:37,625
anyway. And they
495
01:06:37,625 --> 01:06:37,875
said, you
496
01:06:37,875 --> 01:06:38,250
know what?
497
01:06:38,250 --> 01:06:39,041
We are going to
498
01:06:39,041 --> 01:06:39,750
put a voluntary
499
01:06:39,750 --> 01:06:40,916
code of conduct
500
01:06:40,916 --> 01:06:41,833
that we that
501
01:06:41,833 --> 01:06:42,083
we're going
502
01:06:42,083 --> 01:06:42,458
to develop
503
01:06:43,041 --> 01:06:43,833
together. They
504
01:06:43,833 --> 01:06:44,375
partnered with
505
01:06:44,375 --> 01:06:45,000
scientists, local
506
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:45,500
governments,
507
01:06:45,833 --> 01:06:47,916
Parks Canada, NOAA and
508
01:06:47,916 --> 01:06:48,708
Fisheries and
509
01:06:48,708 --> 01:06:49,000
Oceans
510
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:49,750
Canada, DFO
511
01:06:50,250 --> 01:06:51,333
for the federal
512
01:06:51,333 --> 01:06:52,125
government. So
513
01:06:52,125 --> 01:06:52,625
the key
514
01:06:52,625 --> 01:06:53,250
individuals of
515
01:06:53,250 --> 01:06:53,750
this group were
516
01:06:53,750 --> 01:06:54,416
the San Juan
517
01:06:54,416 --> 01:06:55,291
County Marine
518
01:06:55,291 --> 01:06:55,958
Resources
519
01:06:55,958 --> 01:06:56,416
Committee,
520
01:06:56,625 --> 01:06:57,125
the MRC,
521
01:06:57,750 --> 01:06:59,125
the Whale Museum
522
01:06:59,125 --> 01:06:59,708
from Friday
523
01:06:59,708 --> 01:07:00,916
Harbor, Sound
524
01:07:00,916 --> 01:07:01,833
Watch Boater
525
01:07:01,833 --> 01:07:02,583
Education
526
01:07:02,583 --> 01:07:03,500
Program, and the
527
01:07:03,500 --> 01:07:04,083
Pacific Whale
528
01:07:04,083 --> 01:07:04,541
Watch
529
01:07:04,541 --> 01:07:05,000
Association,
530
01:07:05,250 --> 01:07:06,041
the PWWA,
531
01:07:06,416 --> 01:07:06,958
the members of
532
01:07:06,958 --> 01:07:07,833
that association.
533
01:07:08,333 --> 01:07:09,000
So here was the
534
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:09,333
conservation
535
01:07:09,333 --> 01:07:10,041
action. So this
536
01:07:10,041 --> 01:07:10,583
guideline turned
537
01:07:10,583 --> 01:07:11,458
into the B
538
01:07:11,458 --> 01:07:11,916
Whale Wise
539
01:07:12,625 --> 01:07:13,375
guidelines. So it
540
01:07:13,375 --> 01:07:13,958
launched in the
541
01:07:13,958 --> 01:07:15,250
early 2000s and
542
01:07:15,250 --> 01:07:15,833
continually
543
01:07:15,833 --> 01:07:17,250
updated based on
544
01:07:17,250 --> 01:07:17,916
science and
545
01:07:17,916 --> 01:07:19,041
regulation. The
546
01:07:19,041 --> 01:07:19,500
campaign
547
01:07:19,500 --> 01:07:20,208
encourages
548
01:07:20,791 --> 01:07:21,375
voluntary and
549
01:07:21,375 --> 01:07:22,166
regulatory best
550
01:07:22,166 --> 01:07:23,208
practices for all
551
01:07:23,208 --> 01:07:24,416
vessels around
552
01:07:24,416 --> 01:07:25,333
whales, including
553
01:07:25,333 --> 01:07:27,291
staying 400 yards
554
01:07:27,291 --> 01:07:28,708
away from orcas,
555
01:07:29,333 --> 01:07:29,458
speed
556
01:07:29,458 --> 01:07:30,041
restrictions
557
01:07:30,041 --> 01:07:31,291
within 1,000
558
01:07:31,291 --> 01:07:32,541
yards, avoiding
559
01:07:32,541 --> 01:07:33,333
the path of
560
01:07:33,333 --> 01:07:34,375
whales as much as
561
01:07:34,375 --> 01:07:34,625
possible,
562
01:07:35,208 --> 01:07:36,375
turning off fish
563
01:07:36,375 --> 01:07:37,416
finders and eco
564
01:07:37,416 --> 01:07:38,083
sounders to
565
01:07:38,083 --> 01:07:39,916
reduce noise even
566
01:07:39,916 --> 01:07:40,875
further, using
567
01:07:40,875 --> 01:07:41,833
whale spotting
568
01:07:41,833 --> 01:07:43,000
networks to avoid
569
01:07:43,333 --> 01:07:43,708
accidental
570
01:07:43,708 --> 01:07:45,291
disturbances. And
571
01:07:45,291 --> 01:07:45,791
the guidelines
572
01:07:45,791 --> 01:07:46,333
were promoted
573
01:07:46,333 --> 01:07:47,041
through onboard
574
01:07:47,041 --> 01:07:47,958
education by
575
01:07:47,958 --> 01:07:49,041
naturalists. They
576
01:07:49,041 --> 01:07:50,208
were they were
577
01:07:50,208 --> 01:07:51,000
promoted by
578
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:51,541
outreach,
579
01:07:52,625 --> 01:07:53,208
promoted through
580
01:07:53,208 --> 01:07:54,333
outreach to
581
01:07:54,333 --> 01:07:55,000
private boaters
582
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,291
and kayakers and
583
01:07:56,291 --> 01:07:57,166
partnerships with
584
01:07:57,166 --> 01:07:57,708
marinas,
585
01:07:57,875 --> 01:07:59,250
ferry operators
586
01:07:59,250 --> 01:08:00,250
and dive
587
01:08:00,250 --> 01:08:00,750
companies. So
588
01:08:00,750 --> 01:08:01,083
you're probably
589
01:08:01,083 --> 01:08:01,625
wondering like,
590
01:08:01,625 --> 01:08:02,166
okay, this is a
591
01:08:02,166 --> 01:08:03,291
lot of action and
592
01:08:03,291 --> 01:08:03,708
it worked.
593
01:08:04,083 --> 01:08:04,916
Why did it work?
594
01:08:04,916 --> 01:08:05,166
Because there was
595
01:08:05,166 --> 01:08:05,666
industry
596
01:08:05,666 --> 01:08:06,125
leadership,
597
01:08:06,541 --> 01:08:07,125
right? Always the
598
01:08:07,125 --> 01:08:07,791
industry always
599
01:08:07,791 --> 01:08:08,750
has to help and
600
01:08:08,750 --> 01:08:09,791
make sure that
601
01:08:09,791 --> 01:08:10,708
things are good.
602
01:08:11,333 --> 01:08:11,625
Whale watching
603
01:08:11,625 --> 01:08:12,750
companies led the
604
01:08:12,750 --> 01:08:13,625
charge, reducing
605
01:08:13,625 --> 01:08:15,291
opposition and
606
01:08:15,291 --> 01:08:15,625
building
607
01:08:15,625 --> 01:08:16,333
credibility,
608
01:08:17,041 --> 01:08:17,291
community
609
01:08:17,291 --> 01:08:18,125
engagement, the
610
01:08:18,125 --> 01:08:19,250
local pride in
611
01:08:19,250 --> 01:08:20,291
the whales and
612
01:08:20,291 --> 01:08:21,041
marine ecosystems
613
01:08:21,041 --> 01:08:21,750
fostered
614
01:08:22,125 --> 01:08:23,000
cooperation from
615
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:23,458
boats and
616
01:08:23,458 --> 01:08:24,291
residences. If
617
01:08:24,291 --> 01:08:24,833
you've ever seen
618
01:08:24,833 --> 01:08:25,625
videos when
619
01:08:26,208 --> 01:08:27,250
orcas are found
620
01:08:27,250 --> 01:08:28,250
in an area,
621
01:08:29,166 --> 01:08:30,000
you'll see a lot
622
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:30,583
of people that
623
01:08:30,583 --> 01:08:31,458
are just posting
624
01:08:31,458 --> 01:08:31,916
it and they're
625
01:08:31,916 --> 01:08:32,625
actually going to
626
01:08:32,625 --> 01:08:33,000
see it. They're
627
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:33,625
taking time off
628
01:08:33,625 --> 01:08:34,166
of work.
629
01:08:34,166 --> 01:08:35,041
They're going out
630
01:08:35,041 --> 01:08:35,666
of their way,
631
01:08:35,666 --> 01:08:37,166
driving miles and
632
01:08:37,166 --> 01:08:38,750
kilometers to see
633
01:08:38,750 --> 01:08:39,750
these orcas. And
634
01:08:39,750 --> 01:08:40,500
when they do,
635
01:08:40,500 --> 01:08:41,041
they get
636
01:08:41,041 --> 01:08:41,875
emotional. There
637
01:08:41,875 --> 01:08:42,958
is a huge
638
01:08:43,416 --> 01:08:44,250
pride in the
639
01:08:44,250 --> 01:08:45,000
local community
640
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:46,000
to not only
641
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:46,458
protecting
642
01:08:46,458 --> 01:08:47,500
these orcas,
643
01:08:47,916 --> 01:08:48,583
but also making
644
01:08:48,583 --> 01:08:49,583
sure that they
645
01:08:49,583 --> 01:08:50,125
get to see them
646
01:08:50,125 --> 01:08:50,708
as much as
647
01:08:50,708 --> 01:08:51,416
possible and get
648
01:08:51,416 --> 01:08:52,041
to know them as
649
01:08:52,041 --> 01:08:52,583
much as possible.
650
01:08:52,708 --> 01:08:53,708
If you saw the
651
01:08:53,708 --> 01:08:54,708
interview I did
652
01:08:54,708 --> 01:08:55,416
with Mark Laron
653
01:08:55,416 --> 01:08:56,250
Young, you can
654
01:08:56,250 --> 01:08:57,125
see how emotional
655
01:08:57,125 --> 01:08:58,458
he got when he
656
01:08:58,458 --> 01:08:59,250
talked about
657
01:08:59,625 --> 01:09:00,666
these orcas and
658
01:09:00,666 --> 01:09:01,500
just their
659
01:09:01,500 --> 01:09:02,083
characteristics
660
01:09:02,083 --> 01:09:02,875
and what they've
661
01:09:02,875 --> 01:09:03,583
been able to do
662
01:09:03,791 --> 01:09:04,333
in front of
663
01:09:04,333 --> 01:09:04,916
people and how
664
01:09:04,916 --> 01:09:05,375
people have been
665
01:09:05,375 --> 01:09:05,750
able to catch
666
01:09:05,750 --> 01:09:06,333
them doing some
667
01:09:06,333 --> 01:09:06,958
pretty amazing
668
01:09:06,958 --> 01:09:07,791
things. So
669
01:09:07,791 --> 01:09:08,250
something to
670
01:09:08,250 --> 01:09:09,000
check out.
671
01:09:09,791 --> 01:09:10,583
They've also had,
672
01:09:10,583 --> 01:09:10,708
were
673
01:09:10,708 --> 01:09:11,208
science-based.
674
01:09:11,458 --> 01:09:12,000
That's why it
675
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:12,333
worked, these
676
01:09:12,333 --> 01:09:12,791
guidelines. The
677
01:09:12,791 --> 01:09:13,166
guidelines were
678
01:09:13,166 --> 01:09:13,583
rooted in
679
01:09:13,583 --> 01:09:14,083
acoustic and
680
01:09:14,083 --> 01:09:14,416
behavioral
681
01:09:14,416 --> 01:09:14,916
research
682
01:09:14,916 --> 01:09:15,791
on orcas.
683
01:09:16,250 --> 01:09:16,500
And then there's
684
01:09:16,500 --> 01:09:17,333
a cross-border
685
01:09:17,916 --> 01:09:18,625
coordination. You
686
01:09:18,625 --> 01:09:19,333
heard me say that
687
01:09:19,333 --> 01:09:20,375
there's fisheries
688
01:09:20,375 --> 01:09:21,000
notions Canada
689
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:21,500
was involved.
690
01:09:21,791 --> 01:09:22,166
NOAA was
691
01:09:22,166 --> 01:09:22,875
involved. Parks
692
01:09:22,875 --> 01:09:23,375
Canada was
693
01:09:23,375 --> 01:09:23,750
involved.
694
01:09:24,083 --> 01:09:24,458
So since the
695
01:09:24,458 --> 01:09:25,666
Salish Sea spans
696
01:09:25,666 --> 01:09:26,875
the US and
697
01:09:26,875 --> 01:09:27,541
Canadian waters,
698
01:09:30,333 --> 01:09:32,125
collaboration was
699
01:09:32,125 --> 01:09:33,666
key. So B Whale
700
01:09:33,666 --> 01:09:34,500
Wise became a
701
01:09:34,500 --> 01:09:35,125
bi-national
702
01:09:35,125 --> 01:09:35,875
initiative.
703
01:09:35,875 --> 01:09:36,291
That's a huge
704
01:09:36,291 --> 01:09:36,875
thing. That takes
705
01:09:36,875 --> 01:09:37,666
a long time to
706
01:09:37,666 --> 01:09:38,208
put together.
707
01:09:38,666 --> 01:09:39,166
And being able to
708
01:09:39,166 --> 01:09:39,791
put that together
709
01:09:39,791 --> 01:09:40,833
was really great
710
01:09:40,833 --> 01:09:41,958
for this. So the
711
01:09:41,958 --> 01:09:42,666
success is the
712
01:09:42,666 --> 01:09:43,083
SoundWatch
713
01:09:43,083 --> 01:09:43,458
program
714
01:09:43,458 --> 01:09:44,125
documented,
715
01:09:44,125 --> 01:09:44,916
reduce close
716
01:09:44,916 --> 01:09:45,875
approaches and
717
01:09:45,875 --> 01:09:46,333
increase
718
01:09:46,333 --> 01:09:46,791
compliance
719
01:09:47,250 --> 01:09:47,833
by commercial
720
01:09:47,833 --> 01:09:48,500
operators over
721
01:09:48,500 --> 01:09:49,000
the last 20
722
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:49,625
years. The
723
01:09:49,625 --> 01:09:50,250
initiative helped
724
01:09:50,250 --> 01:09:51,083
influence the US
725
01:09:51,083 --> 01:09:52,458
federal and Washington state
726
01:09:52,458 --> 01:09:53,125
legislation,
727
01:09:53,458 --> 01:09:53,708
including
728
01:09:54,041 --> 01:09:54,791
a mandatory
729
01:09:54,791 --> 01:09:55,833
400-yard buffer
730
01:09:55,833 --> 01:09:57,833
zones for boats
731
01:09:57,833 --> 01:09:59,625
and orcas in 2021
732
01:09:59,625 --> 01:10:00,625
and temporary
733
01:10:00,625 --> 01:10:01,750
closures of whale
734
01:10:01,750 --> 01:10:02,291
foraging
735
01:10:02,291 --> 01:10:03,125
areas during
736
01:10:03,541 --> 01:10:04,291
these times.
737
01:10:04,916 --> 01:10:05,333
Canada adopted
738
01:10:05,333 --> 01:10:06,208
similar laws for
739
01:10:06,208 --> 01:10:06,958
vessel distance
740
01:10:06,958 --> 01:10:07,875
and speed zones
741
01:10:07,875 --> 01:10:08,458
in British
742
01:10:08,458 --> 01:10:08,875
Columbian
743
01:10:08,875 --> 01:10:09,916
waters and
744
01:10:10,208 --> 01:10:11,000
tourists were
745
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:11,916
educated on board
746
01:10:11,916 --> 01:10:12,500
amplifying
747
01:10:12,500 --> 01:10:12,958
conservation
748
01:10:12,958 --> 01:10:14,250
messaging far
749
01:10:14,250 --> 01:10:14,666
beyond
750
01:10:14,666 --> 01:10:15,375
the region.
751
01:10:15,958 --> 01:10:17,125
This is a huge
752
01:10:17,125 --> 01:10:17,625
conservation
753
01:10:17,625 --> 01:10:18,541
success. There's
754
01:10:18,541 --> 01:10:18,916
only a certain
755
01:10:18,916 --> 01:10:19,416
amount of things
756
01:10:19,416 --> 01:10:20,500
you can do to
757
01:10:20,500 --> 01:10:20,833
help this
758
01:10:20,833 --> 01:10:21,333
population.
759
01:10:22,208 --> 01:10:22,666
And this is what
760
01:10:22,666 --> 01:10:23,500
they did. And it
761
01:10:23,500 --> 01:10:24,500
was industry led.
762
01:10:24,791 --> 01:10:25,291
It was science
763
01:10:25,291 --> 01:10:26,333
based. It was
764
01:10:26,333 --> 01:10:27,000
adopted.
765
01:10:27,375 --> 01:10:27,875
And then a lot of
766
01:10:27,875 --> 01:10:28,541
these measures
767
01:10:28,541 --> 01:10:29,500
were adopted by
768
01:10:29,500 --> 01:10:29,833
governments on
769
01:10:29,833 --> 01:10:31,125
both sides of the
770
01:10:31,125 --> 01:10:32,125
border. And that
771
01:10:32,125 --> 01:10:32,875
is cooperation.
772
01:10:33,166 --> 01:10:33,500
And again,
773
01:10:34,083 --> 01:10:34,875
industry led. It
774
01:10:34,875 --> 01:10:35,583
all started off
775
01:10:35,583 --> 01:10:35,875
with the
776
01:10:35,875 --> 01:10:36,166
industry. It all
777
01:10:36,166 --> 01:10:36,875
started off with
778
01:10:36,875 --> 01:10:38,041
the people. The
779
01:10:38,041 --> 01:10:38,541
government will
780
01:10:38,541 --> 01:10:39,458
follow what the
781
01:10:39,458 --> 01:10:39,833
people do.
782
01:10:39,833 --> 01:10:40,250
It may take them
783
01:10:40,250 --> 01:10:41,083
some time, but
784
01:10:41,083 --> 01:10:41,625
they will follow
785
01:10:41,625 --> 01:10:42,291
what the people
786
01:10:42,291 --> 01:10:43,000
want to do.
787
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:44,291
Here are some of
788
01:10:44,291 --> 01:10:44,666
the challenges
789
01:10:44,666 --> 01:10:45,208
because no
790
01:10:45,208 --> 01:10:45,916
project is
791
01:10:45,916 --> 01:10:46,958
perfect. Some of the
792
01:10:46,958 --> 01:10:48,125
challenges is private
793
01:10:48,125 --> 01:10:48,875
boater compliance
794
01:10:48,875 --> 01:10:49,625
remains
795
01:10:49,625 --> 01:10:50,500
inconsistent,
796
01:10:50,500 --> 01:10:51,250
especially during
797
01:10:51,250 --> 01:10:51,916
peak tourism
798
01:10:51,916 --> 01:10:52,458
months. This is
799
01:10:52,458 --> 01:10:52,958
going to be a
800
01:10:52,958 --> 01:10:53,500
long-term
801
01:10:53,500 --> 01:10:53,791
educational
802
01:10:53,791 --> 01:10:55,000
process that will
803
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:55,875
make sure that
804
01:10:55,875 --> 01:10:57,000
over the long
805
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:58,083
term people will
806
01:10:58,083 --> 01:10:59,500
not only be
807
01:10:59,500 --> 01:11:00,000
compliant,
808
01:11:00,458 --> 01:11:01,166
but also be
809
01:11:01,166 --> 01:11:02,708
enforced by other
810
01:11:02,708 --> 01:11:03,000
community
811
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:03,666
members. That
812
01:11:03,666 --> 01:11:04,000
will be
813
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:04,375
interesting. And
814
01:11:04,375 --> 01:11:04,708
enforcement
815
01:11:04,708 --> 01:11:05,500
resources, speaking
816
01:11:05,500 --> 01:11:05,916
of which,
817
01:11:06,125 --> 01:11:06,750
are limited,
818
01:11:07,041 --> 01:11:07,791
especially across
819
01:11:07,791 --> 01:11:09,083
a wide marina
820
01:11:09,083 --> 01:11:10,083
area or marine
821
01:11:10,083 --> 01:11:10,791
area. So that's
822
01:11:10,791 --> 01:11:11,416
very difficult.
823
01:11:11,500 --> 01:11:12,291
But you have
824
01:11:12,291 --> 01:11:12,750
people in the
825
01:11:12,750 --> 01:11:13,375
water all the
826
01:11:13,375 --> 01:11:13,875
time. You have
827
01:11:13,875 --> 01:11:14,375
people who are
828
01:11:14,375 --> 01:11:14,708
friends with
829
01:11:14,708 --> 01:11:15,375
other boaters and
830
01:11:15,375 --> 01:11:15,916
they make sure
831
01:11:16,208 --> 01:11:17,250
that they will
832
01:11:17,250 --> 01:11:18,666
behave over time.
833
01:11:18,666 --> 01:11:19,208
And as long as
834
01:11:19,208 --> 01:11:19,875
this continued
835
01:11:19,875 --> 01:11:20,750
with this
836
01:11:20,750 --> 01:11:21,791
approach, we'll
837
01:11:21,791 --> 01:11:22,333
see better
838
01:11:22,333 --> 01:11:23,000
behavior,
839
01:11:23,250 --> 01:11:23,500
hopefully
840
01:11:23,500 --> 01:11:24,250
over time.
841
01:11:24,958 --> 01:11:25,333
Noise pollution
842
01:11:25,333 --> 01:11:26,083
from commercial
843
01:11:26,083 --> 01:11:26,958
shipping and
844
01:11:26,958 --> 01:11:28,083
ferries remains a
845
01:11:28,083 --> 01:11:28,708
problem beyond
846
01:11:28,708 --> 01:11:29,291
whale watching
847
01:11:29,291 --> 01:11:30,250
industry. Now,
848
01:11:30,250 --> 01:11:30,875
there have been
849
01:11:30,875 --> 01:11:31,583
some projects,
850
01:11:32,041 --> 01:11:32,541
some pilot
851
01:11:32,541 --> 01:11:33,250
studies really
852
01:11:33,250 --> 01:11:34,416
that have worked
853
01:11:34,416 --> 01:11:35,416
with shipping
854
01:11:35,416 --> 01:11:36,375
industries to
855
01:11:36,375 --> 01:11:37,041
reduce noise
856
01:11:37,041 --> 01:11:37,833
within the San
857
01:11:37,833 --> 01:11:38,208
Juan Islands
858
01:11:38,750 --> 01:11:39,916
and other places
859
01:11:39,916 --> 01:11:40,833
like within Puget
860
01:11:40,833 --> 01:11:41,833
Sound. And so
861
01:11:41,833 --> 01:11:42,791
that is still
862
01:11:42,791 --> 01:11:43,708
something that
863
01:11:43,708 --> 01:11:44,250
needs to be
864
01:11:44,250 --> 01:11:45,041
determined even
865
01:11:45,041 --> 01:11:45,666
more. So
866
01:11:46,125 --> 01:11:47,083
something that we
867
01:11:47,083 --> 01:11:48,208
want to keep a
868
01:11:48,208 --> 01:11:49,083
close eye on, we
869
01:11:49,083 --> 01:11:49,750
want to make sure
870
01:11:49,750 --> 01:11:50,375
that we are
871
01:11:50,375 --> 01:11:51,000
working with all
872
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:51,333
boaters,
873
01:11:51,333 --> 01:11:51,833
not just whale
874
01:11:51,833 --> 01:11:52,500
watching boats,
875
01:11:52,833 --> 01:11:53,500
but we want to
876
01:11:53,500 --> 01:11:53,916
work with all
877
01:11:53,916 --> 01:11:55,041
types of ships to
878
01:11:55,041 --> 01:11:55,375
make sure
879
01:11:55,375 --> 01:11:56,208
that we protect
880
01:11:56,458 --> 01:11:57,583
this very, very
881
01:11:57,583 --> 01:11:58,000
critically
882
01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:58,625
endangered
883
01:11:58,625 --> 01:12:00,416
population. So
884
01:12:00,416 --> 01:12:01,166
the legacy and
885
01:12:01,166 --> 01:12:01,750
the next steps
886
01:12:01,750 --> 01:12:02,083
for this
887
01:12:02,125 --> 01:12:02,625
conservation
888
01:12:02,625 --> 01:12:03,875
initiative and
889
01:12:03,875 --> 01:12:05,125
project, the B
890
01:12:05,125 --> 01:12:06,208
Whale Wise model
891
01:12:06,208 --> 01:12:07,458
is now studied as
892
01:12:07,458 --> 01:12:08,250
a template for
893
01:12:08,250 --> 01:12:08,791
community-led marine
894
01:12:08,791 --> 01:12:09,875
stewardship,
895
01:12:09,875 --> 01:12:10,500
which is great to
896
01:12:10,500 --> 01:12:11,583
see. The program
897
01:12:11,583 --> 01:12:12,333
continues to
898
01:12:12,333 --> 01:12:14,125
evolve with the
899
01:12:14,125 --> 01:12:14,750
input of
900
01:12:14,750 --> 01:12:16,000
scientists, indigenous
901
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:16,541
nations,
902
01:12:17,125 --> 01:12:17,916
and the tourism
903
01:12:17,916 --> 01:12:19,000
sector. And then
904
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:19,666
a growing number
905
01:12:19,666 --> 01:12:20,708
of kayak guides,
906
01:12:20,916 --> 01:12:21,041
drone
907
01:12:21,041 --> 01:12:21,916
operators, and
908
01:12:22,291 --> 01:12:23,000
paddle boarders
909
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:23,583
are also being
910
01:12:23,583 --> 01:12:24,875
brought into this
911
01:12:24,875 --> 01:12:26,041
fold. And the
912
01:12:26,041 --> 01:12:27,625
whale warning
913
01:12:27,833 --> 01:12:28,625
flying system
914
01:12:28,625 --> 01:12:29,416
introduced more
915
01:12:29,416 --> 01:12:30,625
recently alerts
916
01:12:30,625 --> 01:12:32,333
nearby vessels to
917
01:12:32,333 --> 01:12:34,250
whale presence in
918
01:12:34,250 --> 01:12:35,208
real time. So the
919
01:12:35,208 --> 01:12:36,041
takeaway of this
920
01:12:36,041 --> 01:12:36,708
story is it shows
921
01:12:36,708 --> 01:12:37,166
that local
922
01:12:37,166 --> 01:12:38,125
stewards within
923
01:12:38,125 --> 01:12:38,708
an industry
924
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:39,833
can recognize
925
01:12:39,833 --> 01:12:41,083
their impact, can
926
01:12:41,083 --> 01:12:41,875
mobilize their
927
01:12:41,875 --> 01:12:43,125
peers, and can
928
01:12:43,125 --> 01:12:43,791
drive behavior
929
01:12:43,791 --> 01:12:44,833
change that
930
01:12:44,833 --> 01:12:46,000
spreads to a
931
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:47,083
regional policy
932
01:12:47,083 --> 01:12:48,208
and political
933
01:12:48,208 --> 01:12:48,875
norms or
934
01:12:48,875 --> 01:12:49,458
public norms.
935
01:12:49,958 --> 01:12:50,458
This is something
936
01:12:50,458 --> 01:12:51,708
that it's a case
937
01:12:51,708 --> 01:12:52,375
of basically a
938
01:12:52,375 --> 01:12:53,291
voluntary action
939
01:12:53,291 --> 01:12:54,208
influencing legal
940
01:12:54,208 --> 01:12:56,208
frameworks and a
941
01:12:56,208 --> 01:12:56,791
small island
942
01:12:56,791 --> 01:12:57,166
communities
943
01:12:57,166 --> 01:12:58,166
protecting the
944
01:12:58,166 --> 01:12:58,916
giants of
945
01:12:58,916 --> 01:12:59,250
the sea.
946
01:12:59,625 --> 01:13:00,125
It can happen,
947
01:13:00,125 --> 01:13:00,791
folks. It can
948
01:13:00,791 --> 01:13:01,833
happen. And we
949
01:13:01,833 --> 01:13:02,375
are seeing it
950
01:13:02,375 --> 01:13:03,625
happen in front
951
01:13:03,625 --> 01:13:04,750
of our eyes. We
952
01:13:04,750 --> 01:13:05,583
know that this is
953
01:13:05,583 --> 01:13:06,208
something that
954
01:13:06,208 --> 01:13:07,250
needs to continue
955
01:13:07,250 --> 01:13:07,875
to be addressed,
956
01:13:08,166 --> 01:13:08,458
but it's
957
01:13:08,458 --> 01:13:09,166
something that we
958
01:13:09,166 --> 01:13:10,125
are going to look
959
01:13:10,125 --> 01:13:10,708
out for.
960
01:13:10,708 --> 01:13:11,125
And I want to
961
01:13:11,125 --> 01:13:11,958
make sure that we
962
01:13:11,958 --> 01:13:13,791
are documenting
963
01:13:13,791 --> 01:13:14,666
it, right? That's
964
01:13:14,666 --> 01:13:15,000
the biggest
965
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:15,958
thing. Okay,
966
01:13:16,125 --> 01:13:17,500
let's move on to
967
01:13:17,500 --> 01:13:18,583
the next story.
968
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:19,458
This one's going
969
01:13:19,458 --> 01:13:19,958
to be a quick
970
01:13:19,958 --> 01:13:21,791
one. I saw this
971
01:13:21,791 --> 01:13:22,625
on TikTok as I
972
01:13:22,625 --> 01:13:23,000
was scrolling
973
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:23,500
through and I was
974
01:13:23,500 --> 01:13:24,291
like, look, I was
975
01:13:24,291 --> 01:13:25,416
like, you know,
976
01:13:25,458 --> 01:13:26,750
when you're in
977
01:13:26,750 --> 01:13:27,416
the ocean, you've
978
01:13:27,416 --> 01:13:27,708
got to be
979
01:13:27,708 --> 01:13:28,458
responsible and
980
01:13:28,458 --> 01:13:28,916
you've got to be
981
01:13:28,916 --> 01:13:29,291
careful.
982
01:13:29,708 --> 01:13:30,541
There are a lot
983
01:13:30,541 --> 01:13:31,500
of videos of
984
01:13:31,500 --> 01:13:32,833
sharks out there
985
01:13:32,833 --> 01:13:33,125
that are
986
01:13:33,125 --> 01:13:34,000
beautiful videos
987
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:34,625
of sharks, people
988
01:13:34,625 --> 01:13:35,375
keeping their
989
01:13:35,375 --> 01:13:36,208
distance, seeing
990
01:13:36,208 --> 01:13:36,916
behaviors of
991
01:13:36,916 --> 01:13:38,000
sharks that are
992
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:38,958
non aggressive,
993
01:13:39,875 --> 01:13:40,708
might be avoiding
994
01:13:40,708 --> 01:13:41,166
sometimes
995
01:13:41,166 --> 01:13:41,625
swimming away.
996
01:13:41,625 --> 01:13:41,916
If they're
997
01:13:41,916 --> 01:13:42,416
swimming away,
998
01:13:42,416 --> 01:13:43,166
leave them alone.
999
01:13:43,541 --> 01:13:43,791
If they're
1000
01:13:43,791 --> 01:13:44,375
swimming towards
1001
01:13:44,375 --> 01:13:44,875
you, take
1002
01:13:44,875 --> 01:13:45,833
precautions and
1003
01:13:45,833 --> 01:13:46,500
so forth. This is
1004
01:13:46,500 --> 01:13:47,833
not for everybody
1005
01:13:47,833 --> 01:13:48,250
being
1006
01:13:48,250 --> 01:13:49,041
around a shark.
1007
01:13:49,041 --> 01:13:49,500
A lot of times
1008
01:13:49,500 --> 01:13:50,000
when you see
1009
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:50,666
people in videos,
1010
01:13:50,666 --> 01:13:50,916
they've been
1011
01:13:50,916 --> 01:13:52,166
around sharks for
1012
01:13:52,166 --> 01:13:53,125
a long time and
1013
01:13:53,125 --> 01:13:53,791
they know the
1014
01:13:53,791 --> 01:13:54,708
risks, but they
1015
01:13:54,708 --> 01:13:55,291
also know how to
1016
01:13:55,291 --> 01:13:56,000
behave around
1017
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:56,583
sharks in
1018
01:13:56,583 --> 01:13:57,500
different types
1019
01:13:57,500 --> 01:13:58,875
of behaviors that
1020
01:13:58,875 --> 01:13:59,500
they exhibit.
1021
01:13:59,500 --> 01:13:59,875
If they're more
1022
01:13:59,875 --> 01:14:00,333
aggressive, they
1023
01:14:00,333 --> 01:14:00,916
know what to do.
1024
01:14:01,125 --> 01:14:01,416
They're less
1025
01:14:01,416 --> 01:14:01,875
aggressive, they
1026
01:14:01,875 --> 01:14:02,250
know what to do
1027
01:14:02,250 --> 01:14:02,916
and they know not
1028
01:14:02,916 --> 01:14:03,708
to prod and poke
1029
01:14:03,708 --> 01:14:04,458
for most part.
1030
01:14:04,833 --> 01:14:05,500
So you have to be
1031
01:14:05,500 --> 01:14:06,208
careful if you're
1032
01:14:06,208 --> 01:14:06,958
not somebody
1033
01:14:06,958 --> 01:14:07,583
who's been around
1034
01:14:07,583 --> 01:14:08,083
sharks for a long
1035
01:14:08,083 --> 01:14:08,791
time to be
1036
01:14:08,791 --> 01:14:09,250
careful and just
1037
01:14:09,250 --> 01:14:10,041
stay away and
1038
01:14:10,041 --> 01:14:10,625
don't touch.
1039
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:11,708
Obviously, that's
1040
01:14:11,708 --> 01:14:12,208
something that
1041
01:14:12,208 --> 01:14:13,083
every scuba diver
1042
01:14:13,083 --> 01:14:13,916
knows everybody
1043
01:14:13,916 --> 01:14:14,416
should
1044
01:14:14,416 --> 01:14:15,416
know as well.
1045
01:14:15,708 --> 01:14:15,916
All right. I
1046
01:14:15,916 --> 01:14:17,000
wanted to just
1047
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,875
kind of look at a
1048
01:14:18,875 --> 01:14:19,750
video. There's no
1049
01:14:19,750 --> 01:14:20,166
sound on
1050
01:14:20,166 --> 01:14:20,666
this video.
1051
01:14:20,666 --> 01:14:21,250
Well, there's
1052
01:14:21,250 --> 01:14:22,000
probably music on
1053
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:22,375
it, but there's
1054
01:14:22,375 --> 01:14:23,458
no sound. It says
1055
01:14:23,458 --> 01:14:24,083
here shark
1056
01:14:24,083 --> 01:14:25,000
attacks jet ski.
1057
01:14:25,541 --> 01:14:26,291
And so when I see
1058
01:14:26,291 --> 01:14:27,708
this, I'm already
1059
01:14:27,708 --> 01:14:30,500
very curious of
1060
01:14:30,500 --> 01:14:30,916
what's
1061
01:14:30,916 --> 01:14:31,458
happening here.
1062
01:14:31,875 --> 01:14:32,708
Sharks just don't
1063
01:14:32,708 --> 01:14:33,916
go and attack jet
1064
01:14:33,916 --> 01:14:35,166
skis on its own.
1065
01:14:35,541 --> 01:14:37,000
Sharks will react
1066
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:37,208
to
1067
01:14:37,208 --> 01:14:37,791
certain things.
1068
01:14:38,500 --> 01:14:39,166
And when I saw
1069
01:14:39,166 --> 01:14:39,666
this, when I
1070
01:14:39,666 --> 01:14:40,041
initially saw
1071
01:14:40,041 --> 01:14:40,708
this, I was like,
1072
01:14:40,708 --> 01:14:41,541
I have a feeling
1073
01:14:41,541 --> 01:14:42,541
this is not a
1074
01:14:42,541 --> 01:14:43,875
shark attack or
1075
01:14:43,875 --> 01:14:44,458
shark event.
1076
01:14:44,916 --> 01:14:45,291
So let's just
1077
01:14:45,291 --> 01:14:46,041
take a look and
1078
01:14:46,041 --> 01:14:47,041
see what this is
1079
01:14:47,041 --> 01:14:47,666
all about.
1080
01:14:48,583 --> 01:14:49,375
And I want to I
1081
01:14:49,375 --> 01:14:49,791
want to kind of
1082
01:14:49,791 --> 01:14:50,416
talk about it
1083
01:14:50,416 --> 01:14:51,333
right after just
1084
01:14:51,333 --> 01:14:52,375
what not to do
1085
01:14:52,375 --> 01:14:53,000
around a shark.
1086
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:53,500
If you see a
1087
01:14:53,500 --> 01:14:54,083
shark in the
1088
01:14:54,083 --> 01:14:54,500
ocean, this is
1089
01:14:54,500 --> 01:14:55,000
obviously a very
1090
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:55,666
shallow area in
1091
01:14:55,666 --> 01:14:56,500
the ocean, very
1092
01:14:56,500 --> 01:14:57,083
clear water.
1093
01:14:57,541 --> 01:14:57,958
You can see that
1094
01:14:57,958 --> 01:14:58,541
this is a shark.
1095
01:14:58,750 --> 01:14:59,291
And here we go.
1096
01:15:00,875 --> 01:15:01,500
So he's got a jet
1097
01:15:01,500 --> 01:15:02,500
ski. He's in and
1098
01:15:02,500 --> 01:15:03,250
around the shark.
1099
01:15:03,250 --> 01:15:03,708
He's following
1100
01:15:03,708 --> 01:15:04,375
the shark sharks
1101
01:15:04,375 --> 01:15:04,625
trying to
1102
01:15:04,625 --> 01:15:05,125
get away.
1103
01:15:05,333 --> 01:15:05,916
It's pretty big
1104
01:15:05,916 --> 01:15:07,500
shark and it goes
1105
01:15:07,500 --> 01:15:09,125
after the boat or
1106
01:15:09,125 --> 01:15:09,750
it goes after the
1107
01:15:09,750 --> 01:15:10,500
jet ski and watch
1108
01:15:10,500 --> 01:15:11,083
it again.
1109
01:15:11,541 --> 01:15:12,250
Again, moving
1110
01:15:12,250 --> 01:15:13,333
away from the
1111
01:15:13,333 --> 01:15:14,500
ship or from the
1112
01:15:14,500 --> 01:15:15,083
jet ski
1113
01:15:15,083 --> 01:15:15,791
coming close.
1114
01:15:16,750 --> 01:15:16,958
Yeah, you're
1115
01:15:16,958 --> 01:15:17,458
annoying the
1116
01:15:17,458 --> 01:15:18,000
shark. Let's
1117
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:18,208
watch it
1118
01:15:18,208 --> 01:15:19,000
one more time.
1119
01:15:19,416 --> 01:15:20,208
You know, don't
1120
01:15:20,208 --> 01:15:21,125
annoy big sharks.
1121
01:15:21,416 --> 01:15:21,750
Don't annoy
1122
01:15:21,750 --> 01:15:22,708
sharks at all.
1123
01:15:22,750 --> 01:15:23,291
You're following
1124
01:15:23,291 --> 01:15:24,333
this with a loud
1125
01:15:24,333 --> 01:15:26,291
boat and people
1126
01:15:26,291 --> 01:15:28,208
just people don't
1127
01:15:28,208 --> 01:15:28,958
like jet skis.
1128
01:15:28,958 --> 01:15:29,458
And this shark
1129
01:15:29,458 --> 01:15:29,916
definitely
1130
01:15:29,916 --> 01:15:30,791
doesn't like the
1131
01:15:30,791 --> 01:15:31,666
jet ski. So I
1132
01:15:31,666 --> 01:15:32,041
want to share
1133
01:15:32,041 --> 01:15:32,625
that with you of
1134
01:15:32,625 --> 01:15:33,083
what not to
1135
01:15:33,083 --> 01:15:33,625
do sharks.
1136
01:15:33,625 --> 01:15:34,000
And that's not a
1137
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:34,500
shark attack.
1138
01:15:34,500 --> 01:15:34,958
This is a shark
1139
01:15:34,958 --> 01:15:35,833
defending itself
1140
01:15:35,833 --> 01:15:37,083
and just be
1141
01:15:37,083 --> 01:15:38,375
better around
1142
01:15:38,375 --> 01:15:39,208
around sharks.
1143
01:15:39,458 --> 01:15:39,875
That's really
1144
01:15:39,875 --> 01:15:41,000
what it comes
1145
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:41,666
down to is you
1146
01:15:41,666 --> 01:15:42,166
just you just
1147
01:15:42,166 --> 01:15:43,708
have to be better
1148
01:15:43,708 --> 01:15:44,916
and act better
1149
01:15:44,916 --> 01:15:45,916
and act more
1150
01:15:45,916 --> 01:15:47,166
responsible when
1151
01:15:47,166 --> 01:15:47,500
you're
1152
01:15:47,500 --> 01:15:48,250
around sharks.
1153
01:15:48,291 --> 01:15:49,583
OK, now we are
1154
01:15:49,583 --> 01:15:50,375
going to go into
1155
01:15:50,375 --> 01:15:51,000
I want to show
1156
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:51,833
the trailer. I
1157
01:15:51,833 --> 01:15:52,208
don't know if I
1158
01:15:52,208 --> 01:15:53,083
have the rights
1159
01:15:53,083 --> 01:15:53,708
to show the
1160
01:15:53,708 --> 01:15:54,125
trailer.
1161
01:15:54,125 --> 01:15:54,750
So hopefully they
1162
01:15:54,750 --> 01:15:55,250
don't take this
1163
01:15:55,250 --> 01:15:56,416
down. But I
1164
01:15:56,416 --> 01:15:57,083
wanted to show
1165
01:15:57,083 --> 01:15:57,541
part of the
1166
01:15:57,541 --> 01:15:58,416
trailer, at least
1167
01:15:58,416 --> 01:16:01,041
for the David,
1168
01:16:01,500 --> 01:16:01,750
the David
1169
01:16:01,750 --> 01:16:02,250
Attenborough
1170
01:16:02,250 --> 01:16:03,166
movie Ocean.
1171
01:16:03,166 --> 01:16:03,708
He turned ninety
1172
01:16:03,708 --> 01:16:04,541
nine this week.
1173
01:16:04,958 --> 01:16:05,375
So it's pretty
1174
01:16:05,375 --> 01:16:06,125
cool. So here we
1175
01:16:06,125 --> 01:16:06,625
go. We're going
1176
01:16:06,625 --> 01:16:07,416
to just kind of
1177
01:16:07,416 --> 01:16:08,583
talk about it.
1178
01:16:08,583 --> 01:16:08,958
We're going to
1179
01:16:08,958 --> 01:16:09,750
see what this is
1180
01:16:09,750 --> 01:16:12,791
all about. So
1181
01:16:12,791 --> 01:16:13,333
here I'm actually
1182
01:16:13,333 --> 01:16:13,750
not going to
1183
01:16:13,750 --> 01:16:14,125
allow the
1184
01:16:14,125 --> 01:16:14,625
sound plays.
1185
01:16:14,625 --> 01:16:15,083
I don't know if
1186
01:16:15,083 --> 01:16:15,500
I'm allowed to
1187
01:16:15,500 --> 01:16:16,208
play this, but
1188
01:16:16,208 --> 01:16:18,125
this is just the
1189
01:16:18,125 --> 01:16:18,750
trailer. You can
1190
01:16:18,750 --> 01:16:19,291
go see it. I'll
1191
01:16:19,291 --> 01:16:20,000
link to it in the
1192
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:20,500
show notes,
1193
01:16:20,750 --> 01:16:21,750
showing a lot of
1194
01:16:21,750 --> 01:16:22,625
beautiful images,
1195
01:16:22,875 --> 01:16:23,541
talking about
1196
01:16:23,541 --> 01:16:24,166
some of the
1197
01:16:24,166 --> 01:16:25,041
problems here.
1198
01:16:25,625 --> 01:16:25,916
And I'm going to
1199
01:16:25,916 --> 01:16:26,333
stop here because
1200
01:16:26,333 --> 01:16:26,833
I really don't
1201
01:16:26,833 --> 01:16:27,416
think I'm allowed
1202
01:16:27,416 --> 01:16:28,458
to play this, but
1203
01:16:28,458 --> 01:16:28,833
we'll see.
1204
01:16:29,083 --> 01:16:30,166
But anyway, what
1205
01:16:30,166 --> 01:16:31,625
this talks about
1206
01:16:31,625 --> 01:16:33,000
in this in the
1207
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,083
movie, a big part
1208
01:16:34,083 --> 01:16:35,083
of this come out
1209
01:16:35,083 --> 01:16:35,625
of the movie
1210
01:16:35,625 --> 01:16:36,416
because it was
1211
01:16:36,416 --> 01:16:37,041
originally aired
1212
01:16:37,041 --> 01:16:39,041
May 8 in the U.K.
1213
01:16:39,791 --> 01:16:41,250
Was really about
1214
01:16:41,250 --> 01:16:43,041
trolley. There
1215
01:16:43,041 --> 01:16:44,166
was a lot on on
1216
01:16:44,166 --> 01:16:44,666
trolley. There
1217
01:16:44,666 --> 01:16:45,166
was a there was
1218
01:16:45,166 --> 01:16:46,958
an incident or a
1219
01:16:46,958 --> 01:16:47,791
scene in the
1220
01:16:47,791 --> 01:16:49,000
movie where the
1221
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:50,625
troll shows it
1222
01:16:50,625 --> 01:16:50,916
actually
1223
01:16:50,916 --> 01:16:51,291
functioning.
1224
01:16:51,625 --> 01:16:51,958
And essentially,
1225
01:16:51,958 --> 01:16:52,708
if you don't know
1226
01:16:52,708 --> 01:16:53,750
what a troll is,
1227
01:16:54,500 --> 01:16:56,666
it is a net, a
1228
01:16:56,666 --> 01:16:58,000
huge net that has
1229
01:16:58,000 --> 01:16:59,208
an opening and
1230
01:16:59,208 --> 01:17:00,000
strings that are
1231
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:00,250
attached
1232
01:17:00,250 --> 01:17:00,875
to the boat.
1233
01:17:01,416 --> 01:17:02,000
And then when it
1234
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:02,833
is laid out, it's
1235
01:17:02,833 --> 01:17:03,500
got these boards
1236
01:17:03,500 --> 01:17:05,208
on the bottom and
1237
01:17:05,208 --> 01:17:06,166
those boards and
1238
01:17:06,166 --> 01:17:06,708
then a chain
1239
01:17:06,708 --> 01:17:07,416
along that is
1240
01:17:07,416 --> 01:17:08,000
attaching those
1241
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:08,583
boards and those
1242
01:17:08,583 --> 01:17:09,000
go along
1243
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:09,333
the bottom.
1244
01:17:09,375 --> 01:17:09,916
So when it gets
1245
01:17:09,916 --> 01:17:10,541
released, it goes
1246
01:17:10,541 --> 01:17:11,041
to the on the
1247
01:17:11,041 --> 01:17:12,041
bottom on the
1248
01:17:12,041 --> 01:17:12,916
ground, the sea
1249
01:17:12,916 --> 01:17:14,000
floor, usually in
1250
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:14,458
a shallow area,
1251
01:17:14,458 --> 01:17:15,000
sometimes in a
1252
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:15,583
deeper area.
1253
01:17:15,916 --> 01:17:16,083
And then
1254
01:17:16,083 --> 01:17:16,458
essentially what
1255
01:17:16,458 --> 01:17:17,041
happens is those
1256
01:17:17,041 --> 01:17:17,708
doors give it
1257
01:17:17,708 --> 01:17:18,208
weight, the
1258
01:17:18,208 --> 01:17:19,541
chain. And as the
1259
01:17:19,541 --> 01:17:20,125
boat moves, it
1260
01:17:20,125 --> 01:17:21,291
just scrapes
1261
01:17:21,291 --> 01:17:22,333
along the ocean
1262
01:17:22,333 --> 01:17:23,500
and the
1263
01:17:23,500 --> 01:17:24,000
ocean bottom.
1264
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:24,375
And it just
1265
01:17:24,375 --> 01:17:24,916
destroys
1266
01:17:24,916 --> 01:17:26,000
everything that's
1267
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:26,708
that's underneath
1268
01:17:26,708 --> 01:17:27,375
it or that's in
1269
01:17:27,375 --> 01:17:28,041
its pathway,
1270
01:17:28,416 --> 01:17:29,625
ideally bringing
1271
01:17:29,625 --> 01:17:31,083
fish into the net
1272
01:17:31,083 --> 01:17:31,791
and is catching
1273
01:17:31,791 --> 01:17:32,541
indiscriminately
1274
01:17:32,541 --> 01:17:34,041
fish or fish
1275
01:17:34,041 --> 01:17:34,666
indiscriminately.
1276
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:35,750
It can catch sea
1277
01:17:35,750 --> 01:17:36,458
turtles. It can
1278
01:17:36,458 --> 01:17:37,583
catch dolphins.
1279
01:17:37,833 --> 01:17:38,375
It can catch a
1280
01:17:38,375 --> 01:17:38,958
lot of things.
1281
01:17:39,958 --> 01:17:40,958
And we just you
1282
01:17:40,958 --> 01:17:41,416
know, you never
1283
01:17:41,416 --> 01:17:41,875
know what you're
1284
01:17:41,875 --> 01:17:42,333
going to catch.
1285
01:17:42,333 --> 01:17:42,625
There have been
1286
01:17:42,625 --> 01:17:43,291
sea lions in
1287
01:17:43,291 --> 01:17:43,625
there. There have
1288
01:17:43,625 --> 01:17:44,375
been sharks in
1289
01:17:44,375 --> 01:17:45,083
there, all
1290
01:17:45,083 --> 01:17:45,583
different sizes,
1291
01:17:45,666 --> 01:17:46,333
whale sharks,
1292
01:17:46,666 --> 01:17:47,041
depending on the
1293
01:17:47,041 --> 01:17:47,750
size of the net.
1294
01:17:48,333 --> 01:17:49,166
And then it
1295
01:17:49,166 --> 01:17:49,791
brings it up and
1296
01:17:49,791 --> 01:17:50,500
then people sift
1297
01:17:50,500 --> 01:17:51,000
through it and
1298
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:51,583
they get rid of
1299
01:17:51,583 --> 01:17:52,125
what they don't
1300
01:17:52,125 --> 01:17:52,708
want and what
1301
01:17:52,708 --> 01:17:53,000
they call
1302
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:53,541
bycatch.
1303
01:17:54,333 --> 01:17:55,041
And then they go
1304
01:17:55,041 --> 01:17:55,500
and then they
1305
01:17:55,500 --> 01:17:56,250
leave. They keep
1306
01:17:56,250 --> 01:17:56,625
whatever they
1307
01:17:56,625 --> 01:17:56,916
want and
1308
01:17:56,916 --> 01:17:57,208
they leave.
1309
01:17:57,250 --> 01:17:57,750
But a lot of
1310
01:17:57,750 --> 01:17:58,125
stuff that they
1311
01:17:58,125 --> 01:17:58,666
throw over the
1312
01:17:58,666 --> 01:17:59,583
bycatch end up
1313
01:17:59,583 --> 01:18:00,500
dying on either
1314
01:18:00,500 --> 01:18:01,166
on the way up,
1315
01:18:01,166 --> 01:18:01,625
depending on how
1316
01:18:01,625 --> 01:18:03,208
deep it is or as
1317
01:18:03,208 --> 01:18:03,875
they're just on
1318
01:18:03,875 --> 01:18:04,666
the getting
1319
01:18:04,666 --> 01:18:05,458
sifted through a
1320
01:18:05,458 --> 01:18:06,041
way to get sifted
1321
01:18:06,041 --> 01:18:06,416
through and
1322
01:18:06,416 --> 01:18:07,250
thrown overboard.
1323
01:18:07,583 --> 01:18:08,166
So it's very
1324
01:18:08,166 --> 01:18:08,541
destructive
1325
01:18:08,541 --> 01:18:09,333
fishing. It's
1326
01:18:09,333 --> 01:18:09,541
something
1327
01:18:09,541 --> 01:18:09,833
especially
1328
01:18:09,833 --> 01:18:10,500
in the UK.
1329
01:18:10,500 --> 01:18:11,083
They're trying to
1330
01:18:11,083 --> 01:18:11,750
get banned
1331
01:18:11,750 --> 01:18:12,875
because up until
1332
01:18:12,875 --> 01:18:13,333
recently,
1333
01:18:13,541 --> 01:18:13,875
trawling was
1334
01:18:13,875 --> 01:18:14,750
allowed in the
1335
01:18:14,750 --> 01:18:15,333
marine protected
1336
01:18:15,333 --> 01:18:15,791
areas, which
1337
01:18:15,791 --> 01:18:16,666
doesn't really
1338
01:18:16,666 --> 01:18:17,375
protect anything
1339
01:18:17,375 --> 01:18:18,208
in that area.
1340
01:18:18,208 --> 01:18:18,833
If you're trying
1341
01:18:18,833 --> 01:18:19,416
to destroy the
1342
01:18:19,416 --> 01:18:20,250
bottom, it will
1343
01:18:20,250 --> 01:18:20,833
take basically a
1344
01:18:20,833 --> 01:18:21,458
swath of couple
1345
01:18:21,458 --> 01:18:21,958
of kilometers.
1346
01:18:22,666 --> 01:18:24,625
That's maybe 20
1347
01:18:24,625 --> 01:18:25,708
feet wide, you
1348
01:18:25,708 --> 01:18:26,000
know, something
1349
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:27,333
like that. Nine,
1350
01:18:27,333 --> 01:18:28,333
nine meters wide,
1351
01:18:28,333 --> 01:18:28,833
maybe a little,
1352
01:18:28,833 --> 01:18:29,166
maybe a
1353
01:18:29,166 --> 01:18:29,583
little less.
1354
01:18:30,208 --> 01:18:31,166
And and it'll
1355
01:18:31,166 --> 01:18:31,625
just take these
1356
01:18:31,625 --> 01:18:32,541
strips out of the
1357
01:18:32,541 --> 01:18:32,916
habitat.
1358
01:18:32,916 --> 01:18:33,166
And if you
1359
01:18:33,166 --> 01:18:34,333
continue to trawl
1360
01:18:34,333 --> 01:18:34,916
over the same
1361
01:18:34,916 --> 01:18:35,958
habitat, you're
1362
01:18:35,958 --> 01:18:36,541
going to destroy
1363
01:18:36,541 --> 01:18:37,083
a lot of things.
1364
01:18:37,083 --> 01:18:37,375
It's not just
1365
01:18:37,375 --> 01:18:37,791
going to be one
1366
01:18:37,791 --> 01:18:38,416
pathway. It's
1367
01:18:38,416 --> 01:18:39,166
going to be a lot
1368
01:18:39,166 --> 01:18:39,625
of things.
1369
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:40,250
So that's
1370
01:18:40,250 --> 01:18:40,708
something that we
1371
01:18:40,708 --> 01:18:41,250
have to be
1372
01:18:41,250 --> 01:18:41,708
careful of.
1373
01:18:41,708 --> 01:18:42,208
And that really
1374
01:18:42,208 --> 01:18:43,416
what's
1375
01:18:43,416 --> 01:18:43,833
interesting about
1376
01:18:43,833 --> 01:18:44,541
the movie is it
1377
01:18:44,541 --> 01:18:45,916
showed exactly
1378
01:18:45,916 --> 01:18:46,333
what happened
1379
01:18:46,333 --> 01:18:47,291
during the trial.
1380
01:18:47,333 --> 01:18:48,500
It had, you know,
1381
01:18:48,500 --> 01:18:49,666
the opening and
1382
01:18:49,666 --> 01:18:50,125
showed it
1383
01:18:50,125 --> 01:18:50,958
in the water.
1384
01:18:50,958 --> 01:18:51,500
And then you saw
1385
01:18:51,500 --> 01:18:52,375
a trial actually
1386
01:18:52,375 --> 01:18:52,916
working.
1387
01:18:52,916 --> 01:18:53,250
We've talked
1388
01:18:53,250 --> 01:18:53,750
about trials
1389
01:18:53,750 --> 01:18:54,958
before, but this
1390
01:18:54,958 --> 01:18:55,541
is really one of
1391
01:18:55,541 --> 01:18:56,083
the first times
1392
01:18:56,083 --> 01:18:57,208
that people in a
1393
01:18:57,208 --> 01:18:57,791
large scale
1394
01:18:57,791 --> 01:18:58,250
audience have
1395
01:18:58,250 --> 01:19:00,416
seen this type of
1396
01:19:00,416 --> 01:19:01,208
of incident.
1397
01:19:01,750 --> 01:19:02,500
And people were
1398
01:19:02,500 --> 01:19:03,041
not happy.
1399
01:19:03,041 --> 01:19:03,375
It was very
1400
01:19:03,375 --> 01:19:03,916
emotional.
1401
01:19:04,458 --> 01:19:04,916
Obviously, David
1402
01:19:04,916 --> 01:19:05,541
Attenborough, Sir
1403
01:19:05,541 --> 01:19:05,708
David
1404
01:19:05,708 --> 01:19:07,000
Attenborough is a
1405
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:07,750
genius when it
1406
01:19:07,750 --> 01:19:08,125
comes to
1407
01:19:08,125 --> 01:19:08,791
communication,
1408
01:19:09,291 --> 01:19:10,458
really pulling at
1409
01:19:10,458 --> 01:19:11,000
the heartstrings
1410
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:12,166
when you see a
1411
01:19:12,166 --> 01:19:13,583
scene like this
1412
01:19:13,583 --> 01:19:14,416
and something
1413
01:19:14,416 --> 01:19:15,083
that nobody
1414
01:19:15,083 --> 01:19:15,916
wants to see.
1415
01:19:16,166 --> 01:19:16,916
So I thought it
1416
01:19:16,916 --> 01:19:17,291
was interesting
1417
01:19:17,291 --> 01:19:17,750
to share.
1418
01:19:18,458 --> 01:19:18,791
I will be
1419
01:19:18,791 --> 01:19:19,125
watching the
1420
01:19:19,125 --> 01:19:19,625
movie is coming
1421
01:19:19,625 --> 01:19:20,458
out in my local
1422
01:19:20,458 --> 01:19:21,291
area, Burlington,
1423
01:19:21,291 --> 01:19:22,500
Ontario on the
1424
01:19:22,500 --> 01:19:23,416
24th of May.
1425
01:19:23,416 --> 01:19:23,666
I'm hoping
1426
01:19:23,666 --> 01:19:24,625
to go see it.
1427
01:19:24,875 --> 01:19:25,333
I'd like to
1428
01:19:25,333 --> 01:19:25,875
go see it.
1429
01:19:26,583 --> 01:19:27,250
And I will do
1430
01:19:27,250 --> 01:19:28,750
more review on
1431
01:19:28,750 --> 01:19:29,458
the movie and
1432
01:19:29,458 --> 01:19:30,333
what I thought of
1433
01:19:30,333 --> 01:19:32,125
it when I when I
1434
01:19:32,125 --> 01:19:32,583
come back from
1435
01:19:32,583 --> 01:19:32,916
that movie.
1436
01:19:33,375 --> 01:19:34,375
So that's what we
1437
01:19:34,375 --> 01:19:35,625
have for today.
1438
01:19:35,625 --> 01:19:36,416
That's the story.
1439
01:19:37,208 --> 01:19:37,625
Wanted to just
1440
01:19:37,625 --> 01:19:38,666
kind of let that,
1441
01:19:38,666 --> 01:19:39,250
you know, let
1442
01:19:39,250 --> 01:19:41,333
that sink in and
1443
01:19:41,333 --> 01:19:42,000
hope you get to
1444
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:42,458
see the movie.
1445
01:19:42,458 --> 01:19:42,750
You've seen
1446
01:19:42,750 --> 01:19:43,291
the movie.
1447

going live.
1478
01:20:05,166 --> 01:20:05,916
Assume I'm just
1479
01:20:05,916 --> 01:20:06,583

1480
01:20:06,583 --> 01:20:07,125
use this.
1481
01:20:07,125 --> 01:20:07,500
I got to practice
1482
01:20:07,500 --> 01:20:08,291
how to go live.
1483
01:20:08,708 --> 01:20:09,833
So bear with me.
1484
01:20:10,083 --> 01:20:10,541
Trying to get
1485
01:20:10,541 --> 01:20:11,166
comfortable with
1486
01:20:11,166 --> 01:20:11,625
