Climate change, ocean acidification, dissolved oxygen, carbon cycle, coastal upwelling, fishing dynamics the full spectrum of earth science and ocean science simultaneously in the same volume.

So I went to Conservation International and brought them in as a partner and went through the process of valuing the fishery resource, deciding how much Kiribati should be compensated, what the range of the fishes were, brought in a whole bunch of other partners the government of Australia, the government of New Zealand, the World Bank.

And the only fishery left and it is a commercial fishery is the jellyfish fishery you see on the right, where there used to be prawns.

And you hear the words scarce resources a lot when people talk about economics.

Where do they get their water? Where do they get their shelter?

Aren't the dietmen unreasonable?

That was one of those turning points where I said, wow what am I doing here?

Europe did lots of development projects.

You'll get to see the incredible Chambal landscape as well.

His name is James Kofi Annan.

And economics is very interested in scarcity.

Resources.

And then we have the under performance of fisheries that is 50 billion dollars.

You can use your fishing techniques here.

And if you look at the species level, you saw about fish.

Growth of use will consume any energy or resources saved through conservation.

(Applause)

The Oak Foundation and National Geographic have been big funders of this as well.

As a Shinnecock Indian, I was raised to know this.

In order to restore the bond, we need to utilize regional resources.

An analogue would be the growth of bacteria in a petri dish.

They are the happiest place.

So I asked the Minister over dinner,

According to FAO, if we don't change our system of fishing the main sea resources will be gone in 2050.

This was the sailfin grouper.

Global fish catches peaked in the late nineteen eighties, forcing fishermen to move into deep waters.

And pray, sir, what in the world is equal to it?

And it can be done.

It's your resource it's not somebody else's.

Well, because there's a lot at stake.

The center of the Atlantic where the mixing is,

Whether people will continue to loan them money.

Once the most degrading fishing gear, seine nets, were removed, the fishermen were catching more.

Fish development meant imposing on countries that had already 100,000 fishers to impose on them industrial fishing.

That country has natural resources.

Japan is poor in natural resources.

China is rich in natural resources.

Now let's go up to the Arctic Circle.

But we need to think broad scale. We need to think globally.

It was the government that made law function finally.

We have to look at the education of humans.

It has no vegetation.

It takes too much energy. It will cost too much.

I have unauthorized allocation

So there's lots of reason for pessimism.
