pinch a minnow, hurt a whale.

So stay tuned for further information.

(Laughter)

And we're letting industry run the show.

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.

Algae. It infected marine life.

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.

Keep that in mind.

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

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.

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

A strange marine creature was found recently.

We have really no idea.

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

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

If you're in IT, India, obviously, is the place to be at the moment.

She studies marine biology.

Now, not so much. (Laughter)

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

So it's a little appreciated fact that most of the animals in our ocean make light.

Life in the Arctic includes organisms living in the ice, zooplankton and phytoplankton, fish and marine mammals, birds,

It's open access you can all go in and download data as you wish.

But unfortunately, CCAMLR, the regional commission in charge of conserving and managing fish stocks and other living marine resources, is unfortunately starting to give in to fishing interests and has authorized the expansion of toothfish fisheries in the region.

For those of you who've been there, fantastic coral reefs, fantastic diving, fantastic snorkeling.

And so 10 years ago, an international program began called the Census of Marine Life, which set out to try and improve our understanding of life in the global oceans.

Lobsters belong to a class of marine animals.

I study it because I think understanding it is critical to understanding life in the ocean where most bioluminescence occurs.

So it's a deep think about it in a big three dimensional space, very deep three dimensional space with herds of tuna, whales, all kinds of deep sea marine life

And I thought, You know, that might actually make a pretty good lure.

This chart shows the decline in ocean wildlife from 1900 to 2000.

Heart healthy dinner is a very important part of restorative seafood.

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.

So it could have a negative impact on the whole population.

We'll look at sea level rise.

And what they found is that they think that we know of about nine percent of the species in the ocean.

And I knew, right then, at age six, that is an animal that I want to learn more about.

Deepsea marinelife exploration.

It would only cost 16 billion to set up 20 percent of the ocean as marine protected areas that actually give new living choices to the fishermen as well.

The equalization of the oceanic

A fund was set up to preserve endangered marine life.

It had been waiting there since 1960 when Alister Hardy, a marine biologist, said, I think what happened, perhaps our ancestors had a more aquatic existence for some of the time.

First of all, we might ask, how many fishes in the sea?

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

And the list of scientific applications is growing every day.
