Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.70,0:00:09.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm here today because
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.44,0:00:12.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,saving the oceans is more than an ecological desire.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.78,0:00:16.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we want to create jobs for fishermen

Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.25,0:00:43.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is a big concern,

Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.96,0:00:48.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now we know that our arable land per capita

Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.69,0:01:15.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's why the oceans need\Nto be their most abundant,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.58,0:01:17.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that the oceans can provide us

Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.49,0:01:26.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As far back as we can go, we've seen an increase

Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.23,0:01:29.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from our oceans.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.90,0:01:32.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It just seemed like it was continuing to increase,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.38,0:01:33.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until about 1980,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.99,0:01:36.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we started to see a decline.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.06,0:01:44.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you can see about an 18 percent decline

Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.12,0:01:51.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is a big problem. It's continuing.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.58,0:01:55.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we know how to turn it around,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.38,0:01:59.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know how to turn that curve back upwards.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.58,0:02:02.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This doesn't have to be peak fish.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.03,0:02:05.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we do a few simple things in targeted places,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.48,0:02:07.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can bring our fisheries back and use them
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.70,0:02:10.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to feed people.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.25,0:02:11.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First we want to know where the fish are,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.89,0:02:13.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so let's look where the fish are.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.46,0:02:15.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It turns out the fish, conveniently,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.35,0:02:17.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are located for the most part
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.57,0:02:19.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in our coastal areas of the countries,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.63,0:02:20.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in coastal zones,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.94,0:02:23.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and these are areas that national jurisdictions
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.34,0:02:24.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have control over,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.85,0:02:26.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they can manage their fisheries
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.62,0:02:28.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in these coastal areas.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.53,0:02:30.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Coastal countries tend to have jurisdictions
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.46,0:02:33.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that go out about 200 nautical miles,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.04,0:02:36.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in areas that are called exclusive economic zones,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.35,0:02:38.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is a good thing that they can control
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.61,0:02:40.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their fisheries in these areas,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.18,0:02:41.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the high seas,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.71,0:02:43.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which are the darker areas on this map,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.74,0:02:45.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the high seas, it's a lot harder to control things,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.91,0:02:47.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it has to be done internationally.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.69,0:02:49.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You get into international agreements,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.56,0:02:51.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if any of you are tracking\Nthe climate change agreement,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.81,0:02:53.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know this can be a very slow,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.38,0:02:55.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,frustrating, tedious process.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.63,0:02:57.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so controlling things nationally
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.54,0:03:00.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a great thing to be able to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.25,0:03:02.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How many fish are actually in these coastal areas
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.19,0:03:03.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,compared to the high seas?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.77,0:03:06.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, you can see here about
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.11,0:03:07.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seven times as many fish in the coast areas
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.97,0:03:09.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than there are in the high seas,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.95,0:03:12.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so this is a perfect places for us to be focusing,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.17,0:03:14.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we can actually get a lot done.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.31,0:03:16.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We can restore a lot of our fisheries
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.35,0:03:19.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if we focus in these coastal areas.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.26,0:03:21.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But how many of these countries\Ndo we have to work in?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.92,0:03:23.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's something like 80 coastal countries.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.87,0:03:25.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do we have to fix fisheries management
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.90,0:03:27.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in all of those countries?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.51,0:03:29.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we asked ourselves, how many countries
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.22,0:03:30.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,do we need to focus on,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.67,0:03:32.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,keeping in mind that the European Union
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.30,0:03:33.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conveniently manages its fisheries
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.87,0:03:36.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,through a common fisheries policy?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.24,0:03:38.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if we got good fisheries management
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.67,0:03:41.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the European Union and,\Nsay, nine other countries,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.16,0:03:44.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how much of our fisheries would we be covering?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.17,0:03:46.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Turns out, European Union plus nine countries
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.94,0:03:50.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,covers about two thirds of the world's fish catch.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.34,0:03:53.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we took it up to 24 countries\Nplus the European Union,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.55,0:03:55.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we would up to 90 percent,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.26,0:03:58.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,almost all of the world's fish catch.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.26,0:04:01.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we think we can work in\Na limited number of places
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.19,0:04:03.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make the fisheries come back.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.34,0:04:05.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what do we have to do in these places?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.50,0:04:07.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, based on our work in the United States
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.29,0:04:09.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and elsewhere, we know that there are
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.07,0:04:10.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,three key things we have to do
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.88,0:04:13.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to bring fisheries back, and they are:
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.62,0:04:15.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we need to set quotas or limits
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.55,0:04:17.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on how much we take;
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.31,0:04:20.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we need to reduce bycatch, which is the accidental
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.27,0:04:22.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,catching and killing of fish that we're not targeting,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.93,0:04:24.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's very wasteful;
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.57,0:04:27.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and three, we need to protect habitats,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.12,0:04:29.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the nursery areas, the spawning areas
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.07,0:04:31.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that these fish need to grow\Nand reproduce successfully
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.81,0:04:33.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that they can rebuild their populations.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.66,0:04:35.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we do those three things,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.08,0:04:37.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we know the fisheries will come back.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.66,0:04:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How do we know?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.00,0:04:40.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know because we've seen it happening
