400% is a pretty impressive ROI.
not really, you can increase the biomass of soil with far less effort by 4000% in any terrestrial ecosystem that has been diminished by human development or industrial agriculture. And no 4000% is not a typo. Neither is the fact that 65% of all terrestrial biomass lies within the top ~meter of soil. Not above it. And not including the roots of plants themselves. The fungi and bacteria and trillions of micro organisms most having never been classified by science that used to cover every inch of healthy living soil on the entire planet make up 65% of the biomass in all terrestrial ecosystems. And the way to restore hundreds of millions of hectare is simply to properly process 25% of the organic waste we already produce. You mix it up into feed for worms and insects and you take those worm castings and that insect frass and you spread 99% over land and aerate the remaining 1% a microbe tea in water, sugar, and some starchy carbs until the bacteria and fungus is firmly suspended in the liquid. Then you mix it 10-1 with water and spray that microbe brine over that 99% that was spread over land. This introduces a healthy and most importantly hungry population of microbes that immediately turn those castings and that frass into the bodies of new generations of microbes. After 3 years time the Rhizosphere will fully develop into a highly efficient digestive gut that can support any wild, semi-wild, forestry or agricultural purpose. Any pair of human hands, anywhere in the world, can boost the biomass of any of the billions of hectare that have been diminished by human activity, by an average of 4000% resulting in massive produce, textile, and/or biodiversity gains across the board. There are billions of hectare, and millions of people who live in a constant state of food and resource insecurity. There's no crisis that isn't being created by corporately inspired conflict and subsequent inaction. Not to say the restoration of fisheries isn't incredibly important. But that effort could have restored 50,000 hectare of diminished soil and cost nothing. It's cheaper to process organic waste into worm and insect food than it is to bury it in land fills. And the return on investment, without ever considering the carbon reduction, vastly exceeds any incurred cost along the way. AND all life is carbon based, so all life alive is less carbon in the atmosphere. Carbon in the atmosphere becomes the plants, that feed the critters, that make the waste, that feeds soil. It's not just "a solution", it's THE solution. To literally everything. It could even solve Putin's problem. We could build him a "rehabilitation zone" that buffers Russia from Europe where no one is allowed to develop. And it would allow Russia to continue making money off their vast oil and natural gas reserves by injecting the majority of their carbon footprint back into wild natural protection from potential invading forces. All the other things we can do as normal people combined can never, under any circumstances, in any reality, have more impact than simple restoring the global Rhizosphere. 50,000,000 acres of restored Rhizosphere is equivalent to 2300 Gigatons of carbon removed from the atmosphere and stored (for as long as the ecosystem is left to thrive or continuously fed our waste). 50,000,000 acres on each continent all being rehabilitated gainfully by career Dirt Farmers, eliminates every looming existential crisis simultaneously. The fertilizer crisis, the water crisis, food insecurity, global poverty, global resource conflict, the diminished global fisheries, AND the carbon crisis. It erases them through the restoration of abundance. Abundance that has been artificially and systematically dismantled and digested to engineer scarcity in speculative revenue markets that neither grow, nor consume produce. And if we are growing way more food than we can eat, we don't need to fish the fisheries to extinction. They will recover if we just stop over fishing them in most cases, and in all the other specialized cases the incentive to repair them will always be just as great as it is now.
I'd say signs point to this method being a success. XD
Very well spoken and informed spokesman. Best of luck to these folks and the fish!
People are shepherds to the life on earth, we all need to start doing are part.
Proud of my Country being a coastal native, this is our heritage
Amazing fish bank. Thanks a lot BBC earth.
We really do need to come together to live more sustainably. Ubuntu🇿🇦🌍🇰🇪🌏
Kenya, and the most amazing part is this is happening in my home county and benefiting my kuruwitu community
Amazing to see in the first minute a man WALKING ON THE CORAL!

Human greed is a weapon of mass destruction
Has someone done a research on these corporations/individuals making their millions/billions of dollars in profits? These social media pages dedicated to telling us of how they make their riches over a year or two. But at what cost?
Greed is a Monster 💀
Not any more we have already moved beyond any kind of reversible restoration. We are about to die sooner than we think! For sure!!
The corporate of distruction
Thank you for the work you are doing!
5:04 MAN that beach looks NICE!!
This is amazing
Outstanding . Thanks.
Meanwhile big retailers like Walmart throw to waste tonnes of unsold fish and fish products, because they want to keep prices high to get their profit and have the variety of products on shelves to satisfy all customers tastes and demands.
I don't know what part of the world your in but, Shoprite & Foodtown raised prices on a lot of their products about 20% this week. Maybe something to do with the minimum wage & prices of fuel used to deliver these products creeping up. Not sure.

Yeah everyone on earth knows this what a dumb comment
According to the JWT there are trillions upon trillions of Earthlike planets.

Amazing
Each one Teach one! Or so we hope. Thank you all for caring. Keep fighting the good fight🌎🫶🏼
All the worlds problems come down to one species
Homo sapiens 😂
Sadly very true😢
Eventually the other species will turn against us
That is what the lying devils, climate cultists pushing this propaganda want you to belive. And it seems you have fallen for their lies! There is no such thing as "man made" climate change! The earth's climate follows changing cycles as it has done for thousands of years regardless of mankind activities! Humans are not that influential, to the point of affecting the climate. It is impossible for humans to affect the climate in any way! Man made climate change is just a scam globalists use to justify enslaving humanity. Dear bbc: STOP lying! 🤮
@@TheOutlierToday Way too late for that, plus some of those 'other species' already don't exist anymore.
I love that place ..sooooo beautiful
So proud 😊
In case you've ever wondered about the Latin binomial of the world's most noxious and invasive weed, it's Homo sapiens. Thank you BBC and all the people who are making this restoration possible.
Well said. 👍🏻
Master documentaries
Awesome videos!
Good humans doing good work!
Yes I remember we used that term in my country
@5:10 - Ubuntu - Embracing a this interconnectedness in a shared future - ""If we can all take a more collaborative approach, a more kind approach, not just to our ocean, but to each other, I believe we will have a beautiful world!"
amen
yes!!
Resilience of care-receivers is wonderful & an encouraging sign of further & wider effort! Caveat should be given though. Too drastic climate change might go faster & beyond limits of capacity of ecosystem. Mind us all!
Yes I've heard of them,apparently they have very good interest rates.
Very nice 👍👍👍
There is hope in the Galaxy
Great Ubuntu advertising towards the end 😊
Sehr schön Gruss Jürgen 🤠
I've heard of a fish school, a fish store and a fish farm, so why not a fish bank?
❤❤❤
Otherwise, I fell in love with the language. Such a beautiful language, the twang
Fish To the MOOOOONNNNNN 🚀

Lovely video. Just a heads up for future reference... The subtitles are too small for those watching on phone.

The Kiswahili language is beautiful.
They knew they were overfishing and are sad that there is no more fishes because they did not let them get back to good population. Turns out the ocean won't keep providing unlimited free fish lol
🧙❣️
No fish, No future
OBUNTU let's care for each other to have a wonderful world
😔😕so sad
I learn the meaning of ubuntu.
When we make a list of the most dangerous life-form on Earth, its fair to put humans to the top of the list
0:15 Swimming with your shoes on? Are you even real bro?
Stil testing nuclear bombs🤯
The only way to address overfishing is to produce more jobs, its been the same problem here in the Philippines, people with no jobs, seeks the aquatic resources as a source of income leading to more fishing pressure and worst most caught fishes and other aquatic commodities are still on juvenile stage, and larvaes.
Hope the media coverage doesn't end up backfiring. Doubt the problems of your little piece paradise needs more humans, to aggravate things.
'El niño' is called like that,coz it's created by men.The rulers of the world do have weather controll weapons,which they're using.
Conserve, enact sustainable practices or nature will make it hard on humans
Endless greed will destroy everything ...
When common sense solutions prevails.
They should embrace inland aquaculture. They can control that, have all the fish they want-whenever they want.
It's madness to see that the people of our world still are not listening to certain people who have a front row seat & how climate change is impacting everything. But unfortunately there are those who don't want to know or are just too stupid in their own greed and will continue to rape the ocean's of our world without a care of the future and it saddens me to watch our beautiful planet earth as she continues to die a lot more as time passes.
Why the true reality of plastic pollution wasn't shown?
Plastic pollution is a whole other can of worms and deserves it's own dedicated video.

Human population growth has been uncontrolled. We live on a finite planet,we cant have infinite number of consumers. In my lifetime alone i have seen population tripled in numbers but we're all competing for same resources. We'll go down and taje other species with us
You may want to look at fertility and birth rates. And the predicted patterns in population. Its a breaking wave. There will soon be a steep decline.
See it's not all doom and gloom.
Yep, and aboriginal peoples world wide worked and lived with nature. Most African and India and Chinese too live and worked with nature. Seems to me it's white men and women. Want, desire... Not saying other races don't have that but it's us, alright. Whites...
you did not say china and India, mass producers that heavily contribute to consumerism, live within nature 😂 it's not white people bro it's all of us
The western world always tells non western blk and brn communities what to do to fix these ecological issues, yet they don't tell the big fishing trawlers from more economically stable countries to stop doing mass fishing or destroying the ocean with synthetic netting and ruining the sea floor and coral by scraping it with their equipment.
the western world isn't specifically white, it's more encompassing of first world countries which includes black, brown and Asian people
How great is God's creation

Sadly peace among people will never happen. It will only get worse due to the influences the devil has on weak individuals around the world. Those individuals are too weak to know that there is a God who is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. Turn to him and also do what they do in this video, take care of this magical Earth he’s given to us!
N o
better grow chickens instead,protein,children likes to eat chicken
still chicken feeds may rely on fish meal
CCP China, please learn
Why do they not breed rabbits and chicken??? They could release 1000 and in a year have enough food to feed everyone.. I will never understand the lack of ingenuity...
😂get better at fishing is what I say
Say no to farmed salmon
Looks faked
