It provides a surface for things in the ocean, and this surface, which is covered by seaweeds and other organisms in the ocean, will become enhanced marine habitat so it increases biodiversity.

pinch a minnow, hurt a whale.

So stay tuned for further information.

Small levels of stock push resilience into other people's responsibility.

The oceans are a phenomenal place.

(Laughter)

And that's why biodiversity data can be so valuable.

And I really wanted this story to be about three things

And on coral reefs, where some of the main framework organisms disappear, we will see a major loss of marine biodiversity.

So as a result, we never throw anything out.

Now, the good news is that we have conserved.

Most of the earthquakes and volcanoes are in the sea, at the bottom of the sea.

Everywhere you go on the Dixons' smallholding seems to be teeming with wildlife. How important is the biodiversity?

And there are a lot of other pressures.

Well, I could stand here for hours, but, of course, I'm not allowed to do that.

I've taken them camping in the kelp forests of California.

We've identified 35 places globally that we need to work.

And we're letting industry run the show.

But it's not that straightforward.

What is effective? What is the right thing to do?

Algae. It infected marine life.

What is really exciting though is that the oceanic tags, or the ones that live far from the coast, are actually more diverse at intermediate latitudes.

Dr. Satoshi Takada. Marine biologist. Lieutenant Commander for the Navy since 1997.

Keep that in mind.

We're only just beginning to understand how the physical oceanography and the biological oceanography come together to create a seasonal force that actually causes the upwelling that might make a hot spot a hope spot.

But the really intriguing thing about the microbes is just how diverse they are.

A picture that you're familiar with the Amazon rainforests.

We'll look at ocean warming.

And it's really a conflux of urban population rising, biodiversity plummeting and also, of course, sea levels rising and climate changing.

We have really no idea.

The sub surface of Earth contains a vast biodiversity.

How bad can things get?

Our species are ocean basin wide.

There's lots of seamounts in the Phoenix Islands, which are specifically part of the protected area.

It's a project that now reaches across three continents, and its roots go into the fields of mathematics, marine biology, feminine handicraft and environmental activism.

It's phenomenal.

Jacques Cousteau's shows on TV, with all this richness and abundance and diversity.

I've been working on ocean pollution for quite a long time the impacts on marine life and particularly the impacts on marine mammals.

So one of the things we discovered is where are the hot spots of diversity?

A strange marine creature was found recently.

An accretion itself is a huge sink of carbon dioxide.

Now, not so much. (Laughter)

At this very moment, you can see around me a circle that represents a global community where there is diversity, diversity of thought, diversity of ideas, diversity of concepts.

It's basically a measure of how many tigers, toads, ticks or whatever on average of biomass of various species are around.

We made a chip that has every known virus ever discovered on it.
