  Back again for
• 1:00:08
  another episode
• 1:00:09
  of the How to
• 1:00:09
  Protect the Ocean
• 1:00:10
  podcast.
• 1:00:11
  I'm trying out
• 1:00:12
  again two weeks
• 1:00:13
  in a row,
• 1:00:14
  recording it
• 1:00:15
  before I go live,
• 1:00:16
  trying out this
• 1:00:16
  live Ecamm
• 1:00:17
  software.
• 1:00:18
  But bringing you
• 1:00:19
  content a little
• 1:00:20
  longer of a
• 1:00:21
  show today,
• 1:00:22
  we're going to be
• 1:00:23
  talking about
• 1:00:23
  ocean
• 1:00:24
  conservation
• 1:00:24
  stories,
• 1:00:25
  about orcas.
• 1:00:26
  We're going to be talking about
• 1:00:27
  what not to do
• 1:00:28
  with the shark by
• 1:00:29
  looking at a
• 1:00:29
  TikTok video that
• 1:00:30
  I found.
• 1:00:31
  And of course,
• 1:00:31
  we're going to be
• 1:00:32
  talking about the
• 1:00:32
  new movie by
• 1:00:33
  David
• 1:00:34
  Attenborough or
• 1:00:35
  starring David
• 1:00:36
  Attenborough
• 1:00:36
  called Ocean.
• 1:00:38
  Haven't seen the
• 1:00:38
  movie yet, but I
• 1:00:39
  want to cover
• 1:00:39
  some of the
• 1:00:40
  aspects of it,
• 1:00:41
  especially
• 1:00:41
  there's a
• 1:00:42
  trawling scene
• 1:00:42
  that I think
• 1:00:43
  people are a
• 1:00:44
  little
• 1:00:44
  surprised up.
• 1:00:45
  But it's going to
• 1:00:45
  be interesting to
• 1:00:46
  go over that.
• 1:00:47
  So let's start
• 1:00:48
  the show.
• 1:00:51
  What's up
• 1:00:51
  everybody?
• 1:00:52
  Welcome back to
• 1:00:53
  another exciting
• 1:00:53
  episode of the
• 1:00:54
  How to Protect
• 1:00:55
  the Ocean
• 1:00:55
  podcast.
• 1:00:55
  I am your host,
• 1:00:56
  Andrew Lewin.
• 1:00:57
  This is the
• 1:00:57
  podcast where you
• 1:00:57
  find out what's
• 1:00:58
  happening with
• 1:00:59
  the ocean, how
• 1:00:59
  you can speak up
• 1:01:00
  for the ocean,
• 1:01:01
  and what you can
• 1:01:01
  do to live for a
• 1:01:03
  better ocean by
• 1:01:04
  taking action.
• 1:01:05
  On today's
• 1:01:06
  episode, we're
• 1:01:06
  going to be
• 1:01:06
  talking about a
• 1:01:08
  lot of different
• 1:01:08
  things going on.
• 1:01:09
  Three different
• 1:01:10
  stories.
• 1:01:10
  We're going to be
• 1:01:11
  talking about
• 1:01:11
  David
• 1:01:11
  Attenborough
• 1:01:12
  finishing off the
• 1:01:12
  episode with David
• 1:01:13
  Attenborough.
• 1:01:13
  We talk about
• 1:01:13
  what not to do
• 1:01:14
  with the shark by
• 1:01:15
  looking at a
• 1:01:15
  TikTok video.
• 1:01:16
  You can do more
• 1:01:16
  of those
• 1:01:17
  reaction videos.
• 1:01:17
  You guys find a
• 1:01:18
  lot of TikToks
• 1:01:18
  that are just
• 1:01:19
  like, it's a little
• 1:01:20
  weird to do.
• 1:01:21
  You know, I don't
• 1:01:21
  know what people
• 1:01:21
  are
• 1:01:22
  thinking about.
• 1:01:22
  And then of
• 1:01:23
  course, we're
• 1:01:23
  going to be
• 1:01:23
  talking starting
• 1:01:24
  off with, you
• 1:01:26
  know, an ocean
• 1:01:27
  conservation
• 1:01:27
  story.
• 1:01:28
  Here's the thing.
• 1:01:29
  I did an episode
• 1:01:30
  last episode
• 1:01:32
  about
• 1:01:32
  conservation
• 1:01:34
  stories,
• 1:01:35
  especially near
• 1:01:35
  shore
• 1:01:36
  conservation
• 1:01:36
  stories
• 1:01:36
  and identifying
• 1:01:37
  heroes that are
• 1:01:39
  conservation
• 1:01:40
  heroes.
• 1:01:40
  People who are
• 1:01:41
  leading the
• 1:01:42
  charge for
• 1:01:43
  conservation
• 1:01:43
  along the near
• 1:01:44
  shore, along the
• 1:01:45
  coastline.
• 1:01:46
  Angela
• 1:01:46
  Villagomez, Alia
• 1:01:49
  Haidyat, or from
• 1:01:50
  the center of
• 1:01:51
  ocean progress,
• 1:01:52
  or from the
• 1:01:53
  center of
• 1:01:53
  American
• 1:01:53
  progress, sorry,
• 1:01:54
  talking about
• 1:01:55
  ocean
• 1:01:55
  conservation,
• 1:01:57
  going from area
• 1:01:58
  based offshore
• 1:01:59
  conservation to
• 1:02:00
  near shore
• 1:02:01
  conservation.
• 1:02:02
  Something that
• 1:02:02
  kind of surprises
• 1:02:03
  a lot of people,
• 1:02:04
  but also is so
• 1:02:05
  near and dear to
• 1:02:06
  our hearts.
• 1:02:07
  Because as I said
• 1:02:08
  in the episode,
• 1:02:08
  when you look out
• 1:02:09
  from the
• 1:02:10
  coastline,
• 1:02:10
  whether you're on
• 1:02:10
  a lake or river,
• 1:02:11
  when you're on
• 1:02:13
  the coastline of
• 1:02:13
  an ocean,
• 1:02:14
  you look out into
• 1:02:14
  the water.
• 1:02:15
  You want to see
• 1:02:15
  clean water.
• 1:02:17
  You want to see
• 1:02:17
  maybe some
• 1:02:17
  wildlife
• 1:02:17
  out there.
• 1:02:18
  You want to see
• 1:02:19
  some waves.
• 1:02:19
  You want to see
• 1:02:20
  some habitats,
• 1:02:21
  maybe some
• 1:02:21
  seagrass, maybe a
• 1:02:22
  coral reef or
• 1:02:23
  something.
• 1:02:23
  But it's always
• 1:02:24
  fun to see
• 1:02:25
  something
• 1:02:25
  healthy.
• 1:02:25
  You don't want to
• 1:02:26
  see anything that
• 1:02:27
  looks green, like
• 1:02:29
  that's algae
• 1:02:30
  related or
• 1:02:30
  that smells,
• 1:02:32
  or you can smell
• 1:02:33
  like sometimes
• 1:02:33
  you can smell
• 1:02:34
  like diesel,
• 1:02:35
  gasoline and sea
• 1:02:36
  oil slicks.
• 1:02:36
  You don't want to
• 1:02:37
  see that.
• 1:02:37
  You want to see
• 1:02:38
  clean oceans.
• 1:02:39
  And to do that,
• 1:02:40
  we need people to
• 1:02:41
  step up.
• 1:02:42
  We need to focus
• 1:02:42
  on a lot of
• 1:02:43
  ocean heroes.
• 1:02:44
  We need to focus
• 1:02:44
  on those
• 1:02:45
  community leaders
• 1:02:46
  that want to help
• 1:02:47
  us save our
• 1:02:48
  coastlines.
• 1:02:49
  And so we're
• 1:02:49
  going to be
• 1:02:50
  talking about one
• 1:02:52
  today, one story
• 1:02:53
  that I want to
• 1:02:54
  cover in this
• 1:02:55
  episode.
• 1:02:56
  Now, this is
• 1:02:57
  always
• 1:02:57
  interesting
• 1:02:58
  because we're
• 1:02:59
  going to be
• 1:02:59
  talking about
• 1:03:01
  something that is
• 1:03:02
  not necessarily
• 1:03:03
  an ocean hero as
• 1:03:04
  an individual.
• 1:03:05
  I'm going to be
• 1:03:05
  talking about
• 1:03:05
  that next
• 1:03:06
  episode.
• 1:03:07
  If you catch the
• 1:03:08
  Mondays episode,
• 1:03:09
  that will be with
• 1:03:10
  a local hero in
• 1:03:11
  the Maldives,
• 1:03:12
  looking to help
• 1:03:13
  with plastic
• 1:03:14
  pollution, single
• 1:03:15
  use plastic
• 1:03:16
  pollution and
• 1:03:16
  what she was
• 1:03:17
  able to do.
• 1:03:18
  But today we're
• 1:03:19
  going to be
• 1:03:19
  talking about
• 1:03:20
  orcas in the San
• 1:03:23
  Juan Islands in
• 1:03:23
  Washington state.
• 1:03:25
  We're going to be
• 1:03:25
  talking about
• 1:03:26
  something, a
• 1:03:27
  community B whale
• 1:03:29
  wise guidelines
• 1:03:30
  that was led
• 1:03:32
  by whale watch
• 1:03:33
  captains,
• 1:03:34
  naturalists,
• 1:03:35
  conservationists
• 1:03:36
  from the San
• 1:03:36
  Juan County.
• 1:03:38
  And so we're
• 1:03:38
  going to be
• 1:03:38
  talking about
• 1:03:39
  some of the key
• 1:03:39
  outcomes and the
• 1:03:40
  conservation
• 1:03:41
  targets
• 1:03:41
  that they talked
• 1:03:42
  about. So here
• 1:03:43
  was the problem
• 1:03:43
  in the early two
• 1:03:44
  by the early
• 1:03:44
  2000s, the
• 1:03:45
  southern
• 1:03:45
  resident whale
• 1:03:47
  orca population.
• 1:03:49
  They basically
• 1:03:50
  were declining in
• 1:03:51
  population due to
• 1:03:52
  a lack of food,
• 1:03:53
  which is
• 1:03:53
  an examine
• 1:03:54
  contaminants and
• 1:03:55
  of course, vessel
• 1:03:56
  noise
• 1:03:56
  distribution or
• 1:03:57
  disturbance.
• 1:03:58
  Before that, they
• 1:04:00
  were the target
• 1:04:01
  of capture in
• 1:04:02
  1970s and they
• 1:04:03
  just never
• 1:04:03
  recovered. They
• 1:04:04
  lost about half
• 1:04:04
  their population.
• 1:04:05
  They haven't
• 1:04:06
  really fully
• 1:04:06
  recovered from
• 1:04:07
  that. I think it
• 1:04:07
  was 60
• 1:04:08
  individuals.
• 1:04:08
  So this is a
• 1:04:09
  little less than
• 1:04:09
  half their
• 1:04:10
  population that
• 1:04:10
  went into
• 1:04:10
  captivity.
• 1:04:12
  And since then,
• 1:04:13
  they've never
• 1:04:13
  really recovered
• 1:04:13
  and it's never
• 1:04:15
  fun to be able to
• 1:04:16
  have to go
• 1:04:17
  through that.
• 1:04:18
  So that's what
• 1:04:19
  was going
• 1:04:20
  on in that.
• 1:04:22
  And we want to
• 1:04:23
  make sure that
• 1:04:25
  people know what
• 1:04:27
  happens to these
• 1:04:27
  animals, right?
• 1:04:28
  Down to only
• 1:04:29
  about 73
• 1:04:30
  individuals
• 1:04:31
  by 2024.
• 1:04:32
  That was the last
• 1:04:32
  estimate
• 1:04:33
  that was taken.
• 1:04:34
  And then, you
• 1:04:35
  know, they're
• 1:04:35
  spending less
• 1:04:36
  time foraging,
• 1:04:37
  you know, they're
• 1:04:38
  spending less
• 1:04:39
  time foraging.
• 1:04:40
  They're spending
• 1:04:41
  more time trying
• 1:04:43
  to just be safe,
• 1:04:46
  you know, be safe
• 1:04:47
  and enjoy life.
• 1:04:48
  And that's
• 1:04:49
  really hard.
• 1:04:50
  So spending less
• 1:04:50
  time foraging
• 1:04:51
  successfully due
• 1:04:51
  to boat mascots,
• 1:04:53
  their eco
• 1:04:54
  location. They
• 1:04:55
  are a very
• 1:04:56
  pod friendly.
• 1:04:58
  They're very like
• 1:04:58
  close family knit
• 1:05:00
  orca population.
• 1:05:02
  As many of the
• 1:05:03
  orcas are,
• 1:05:03
  they communicate.
• 1:05:04
  They use noise to
• 1:05:05
  communicate with
• 1:05:05
  whistles, clicks
• 1:05:07
  and all
• 1:05:07
  that stuff.
• 1:05:08
  And that leads to
• 1:05:09
  missing feeding
• 1:05:09
  opportunities and
• 1:05:10
  miss deleting
• 1:05:11
  from like dangers
• 1:05:13
  around like ships
• 1:05:14
  or anything
• 1:05:14
  like that.
• 1:05:15
  So, you know,
• 1:05:15
  having that noise
• 1:05:17
  can really affect
• 1:05:18
  these this
• 1:05:19
  population. They
• 1:05:20
  feed together.
• 1:05:21
  They communicate
• 1:05:21
  when they feed.
• 1:05:22
  They communicate
• 1:05:23
  when they do
• 1:05:23
  everything and
• 1:05:24
  not being able to
• 1:05:25
  communicate
• 1:05:25
  really
• 1:05:25
  harms them.
• 1:05:26
  So not having
• 1:05:28
  always having
• 1:05:29
  boat problems or
• 1:05:30
  boats around them
• 1:05:31
  that causes noise
• 1:05:32
  can really
• 1:05:33
  affect them.
• 1:05:34
  So let's look at
• 1:05:34
  the local
• 1:05:35
  context here.
• 1:05:35
  Let's look at the
• 1:05:36
  San Juan Islands
• 1:05:36
  are a hub for
• 1:05:37
  whale watching
• 1:05:38
  tourism actually
• 1:05:38
  going out to
• 1:05:39
  Vancouver in a
• 1:05:40
  little bit
• 1:05:40
  in a couple of
• 1:05:41
  weeks, hopefully
• 1:05:42
  going to do some
• 1:05:43
  orca whale orca
• 1:05:44
  watching then.
• 1:05:45
  This industry
• 1:05:46
  provides major
• 1:05:47
  local income but
• 1:05:48
  poses risks
• 1:05:49
  through noise
• 1:05:49
  pollution, too
• 1:05:51
  close approaches
• 1:05:51
  and uncoordinated
• 1:05:53
  boat traffic,
• 1:05:54
  especially when
• 1:05:54
  whales are
• 1:05:54
  present.
• 1:05:55
  Everybody gets
• 1:05:55
  excited.
• 1:05:56
  Everybody wants
• 1:05:56
  to see the
• 1:05:57
  whales. If you're
• 1:05:57
  paying to go on a
• 1:05:58
  whale watching
• 1:05:59
  ship, you want to
• 1:06:00
  see the whales
• 1:06:00
  when
• 1:06:00
  they're there.
• 1:06:01
  If you see orcas,
• 1:06:02
  I want to see the
• 1:06:02
  orcas when
• 1:06:02
  they're there,
• 1:06:03
  but so are
• 1:06:04
  other boats.
• 1:06:04
  So you have to be
• 1:06:05
  mindful of other
• 1:06:05
  boats and you
• 1:06:06
  have to make sure
• 1:06:06
  that these
• 1:06:07
  animals are not
• 1:06:08
  being affected.
• 1:06:09
  Now, who are the
• 1:06:09
  local hearers in
• 1:06:10
  this situation?
• 1:06:11
  It's not
• 1:06:11
  necessarily an
• 1:06:12
  individual. It's
• 1:06:12
  actually a
• 1:06:12
  collective of
• 1:06:13
  whale watching
• 1:06:14
  operators.
• 1:06:14
  Naturalists and
• 1:06:15
  marine educators
• 1:06:16
  from the San
• 1:06:17
  Juan Islands
• 1:06:18
  decided to take
• 1:06:19
  responsibility
• 1:06:19
  for the problem
• 1:06:20
  within their own
• 1:06:21
  industry. Rather
• 1:06:22
  than wait for
• 1:06:23
  government
• 1:06:23
  mandates,
• 1:06:24
  they voluntarily
• 1:06:25
  developed a code
• 1:06:26
  of conduct. Now,
• 1:06:27
  waiting for
• 1:06:28
  government
• 1:06:28
  regulations
• 1:06:28
  mandates doesn't
• 1:06:29
  always happen.
• 1:06:31
  The wait can be
• 1:06:31
  very long. It
• 1:06:32
  could affect the
• 1:06:33
  whale population.
• 1:06:34
  So they decided
• 1:06:34
  to take it upon
• 1:06:35
  themselves since
• 1:06:35
  they are leading
• 1:06:36
  the charge
• 1:06:36
  anyway. And they
• 1:06:37
  said, you
• 1:06:37
  know what?
• 1:06:38
  We are going to
• 1:06:39
  put a voluntary
• 1:06:39
  code of conduct
• 1:06:40
  that we that
• 1:06:41
  we're going
• 1:06:42
  to develop
• 1:06:43
  together. They
• 1:06:43
  partnered with
• 1:06:44
  scientists, local
• 1:06:45
  governments,
• 1:06:45
  Parks Canada, NOAA and
• 1:06:47
  Fisheries and
• 1:06:48
  Oceans
• 1:06:49
  Canada, DFO
• 1:06:50
  for the federal
• 1:06:51
  government. So
• 1:06:52
  the key
• 1:06:52
  individuals of
• 1:06:53
  this group were
• 1:06:53
  the San Juan
• 1:06:54
  County Marine
• 1:06:55
  Resources
• 1:06:55
  Committee,
• 1:06:56
  the MRC,
• 1:06:57
  the Whale Museum
• 1:06:59
  from Friday
• 1:06:59
  Harbor, Sound
• 1:07:00
  Watch Boater
• 1:07:01
  Education
• 1:07:02
  Program, and the
• 1:07:03
  Pacific Whale
• 1:07:04
  Watch
• 1:07:04
  Association,
• 1:07:05
  the PWWA,
• 1:07:06
  the members of
• 1:07:06
  that association.
• 1:07:08
  So here was the
• 1:07:09
  conservation
• 1:07:09
  action. So this
• 1:07:10
  guideline turned
• 1:07:10
  into the B
• 1:07:11
  Whale Wise
• 1:07:12
  guidelines. So it
• 1:07:13
  launched in the
• 1:07:13
  early 2000s and
• 1:07:15
  continually
• 1:07:15
  updated based on
• 1:07:17
  science and
• 1:07:17
  regulation. The
• 1:07:19
  campaign
• 1:07:19
  encourages
• 1:07:20
  voluntary and
• 1:07:21
  regulatory best
• 1:07:22
  practices for all
• 1:07:23
  vessels around
• 1:07:24
  whales, including
• 1:07:25
  staying 400 yards
• 1:07:27
  away from orcas,
• 1:07:29
  speed
• 1:07:29
  restrictions
• 1:07:30
  within 1,000
• 1:07:31
  yards, avoiding
• 1:07:32
  the path of
• 1:07:33
  whales as much as
• 1:07:34
  possible,
• 1:07:35
  turning off fish
• 1:07:36
  finders and eco
• 1:07:37
  sounders to
• 1:07:38
  reduce noise even
• 1:07:39
  further, using
• 1:07:40
  whale spotting
• 1:07:41
  networks to avoid
• 1:07:43
  accidental
• 1:07:43
  disturbances. And
• 1:07:45
  the guidelines
• 1:07:45
  were promoted
• 1:07:46
  through onboard
• 1:07:47
  education by
• 1:07:47
  naturalists. They
• 1:07:49
  were they were
• 1:07:50
  promoted by
• 1:07:51
  outreach,
• 1:07:52
  promoted through
• 1:07:53
  outreach to
• 1:07:54
  private boaters
• 1:07:55
  and kayakers and
• 1:07:56
  partnerships with
• 1:07:57
  marinas,
• 1:07:57
  ferry operators
• 1:07:59
  and dive
• 1:08:00
  companies. So
• 1:08:00
  you're probably
• 1:08:01
  wondering like,
• 1:08:01
  okay, this is a
• 1:08:02
  lot of action and
• 1:08:03
  it worked.
• 1:08:04
  Why did it work?
• 1:08:04
  Because there was
• 1:08:05
  industry
• 1:08:05
  leadership,
• 1:08:06
  right? Always the
• 1:08:07
  industry always
• 1:08:07
  has to help and
• 1:08:08
  make sure that
• 1:08:09
  things are good.
• 1:08:11
  Whale watching
• 1:08:11
  companies led the
• 1:08:12
  charge, reducing
• 1:08:13
  opposition and
• 1:08:15
  building
• 1:08:15
  credibility,
• 1:08:17
  community
• 1:08:17
  engagement, the
• 1:08:18
  local pride in
• 1:08:19
  the whales and
• 1:08:20
  marine ecosystems
• 1:08:21
  fostered
• 1:08:22
  cooperation from
• 1:08:23
  boats and
• 1:08:23
  residences. If
• 1:08:24
  you've ever seen
• 1:08:24
  videos when
• 1:08:26
  orcas are found
• 1:08:27
  in an area,
• 1:08:29
  you'll see a lot
• 1:08:30
  of people that
• 1:08:30
  are just posting
• 1:08:31
  it and they're
• 1:08:31
  actually going to
• 1:08:32
  see it. They're
• 1:08:33
  taking time off
• 1:08:33
  of work.
• 1:08:34
  They're going out
• 1:08:35
  of their way,
• 1:08:35
  driving miles and
• 1:08:37
  kilometers to see
• 1:08:38
  these orcas. And
• 1:08:39
  when they do,
• 1:08:40
  they get
• 1:08:41
  emotional. There
• 1:08:41
  is a huge
• 1:08:43
  pride in the
• 1:08:44
  local community
• 1:08:45
  to not only
• 1:08:46
  protecting
• 1:08:46
  these orcas,
• 1:08:47
  but also making
• 1:08:48
  sure that they
• 1:08:49
  get to see them
• 1:08:50
  as much as
• 1:08:50
  possible and get
• 1:08:51
  to know them as
• 1:08:52
  much as possible.
• 1:08:52
  If you saw the
• 1:08:53
  interview I did
• 1:08:54
  with Mark Laron
• 1:08:55
  Young, you can
• 1:08:56
  see how emotional
• 1:08:57
  he got when he
• 1:08:58
  talked about
• 1:08:59
  these orcas and
• 1:09:00
  just their
• 1:09:01
  characteristics
• 1:09:02
  and what they've
• 1:09:02
  been able to do
• 1:09:03
  in front of
• 1:09:04
  people and how
• 1:09:04
  people have been
• 1:09:05
  able to catch
• 1:09:05
  them doing some
• 1:09:06
  pretty amazing
• 1:09:06
  things. So
• 1:09:07
  something to
• 1:09:08
  check out.
• 1:09:09
  They've also had,
• 1:09:10
  were
• 1:09:10
  science-based.
• 1:09:11
  That's why it
• 1:09:12
  worked, these
• 1:09:12
  guidelines. The
• 1:09:12
  guidelines were
• 1:09:13
  rooted in
• 1:09:13
  acoustic and
• 1:09:14
  behavioral
• 1:09:14
  research
• 1:09:14
  on orcas.
• 1:09:16
  And then there's
• 1:09:16
  a cross-border
• 1:09:17
  coordination. You
• 1:09:18
  heard me say that
• 1:09:19
  there's fisheries
• 1:09:20
  notions Canada
• 1:09:21
  was involved.
• 1:09:21
  NOAA was
• 1:09:22
  involved. Parks
• 1:09:22
  Canada was
• 1:09:23
  involved.
• 1:09:24
  So since the
• 1:09:24
  Salish Sea spans
• 1:09:25
  the US and
• 1:09:26
  Canadian waters,
• 1:09:30
  collaboration was
• 1:09:32
  key. So B Whale
• 1:09:33
  Wise became a
• 1:09:34
  bi-national
• 1:09:35
  initiative.
• 1:09:35
  That's a huge
• 1:09:36
  thing. That takes
• 1:09:36
  a long time to
• 1:09:37
  put together.
• 1:09:38
  And being able to
• 1:09:39
  put that together
• 1:09:39
  was really great
• 1:09:40
  for this. So the
• 1:09:41
  success is the
• 1:09:42
  SoundWatch
• 1:09:43
  program
• 1:09:43
  documented,
• 1:09:44
  reduce close
• 1:09:44
  approaches and
• 1:09:45
  increase
• 1:09:46
  compliance
• 1:09:47
  by commercial
• 1:09:47
  operators over
• 1:09:48
  the last 20
• 1:09:49
  years. The
• 1:09:49
  initiative helped
• 1:09:50
  influence the US
• 1:09:51
  federal and Washington state
• 1:09:52
  legislation,
• 1:09:53
  including
• 1:09:54
  a mandatory
• 1:09:54
  400-yard buffer
• 1:09:55
  zones for boats
• 1:09:57
  and orcas in 2021
• 1:09:59
  and temporary
• 1:10:00
  closures of whale
• 1:10:01
  foraging
• 1:10:02
  areas during
• 1:10:03
  these times.
• 1:10:04
  Canada adopted
• 1:10:05
  similar laws for
• 1:10:06
  vessel distance
• 1:10:06
  and speed zones
• 1:10:07
  in British
• 1:10:08
  Columbian
• 1:10:08
  waters and
• 1:10:10
  tourists were
• 1:10:11
  educated on board
• 1:10:11
  amplifying
• 1:10:12
  conservation
• 1:10:12
  messaging far
• 1:10:14
  beyond
• 1:10:14
  the region.
• 1:10:15
  This is a huge
• 1:10:17
  conservation
• 1:10:17
  success. There's
• 1:10:18
  only a certain
• 1:10:18
  amount of things
• 1:10:19
  you can do to
• 1:10:20
  help this
• 1:10:20
  population.
• 1:10:22
  And this is what
• 1:10:22
  they did. And it
• 1:10:23
  was industry led.
• 1:10:24
  It was science
• 1:10:25
  based. It was
• 1:10:26
  adopted.
• 1:10:27
  And then a lot of
• 1:10:27
  these measures
• 1:10:28
  were adopted by
• 1:10:29
  governments on
• 1:10:29
  both sides of the
• 1:10:31
  border. And that
• 1:10:32
  is cooperation.
• 1:10:33
  And again,
• 1:10:34
  industry led. It
• 1:10:34
  all started off
• 1:10:35
  with the
• 1:10:35
  industry. It all
• 1:10:36
  started off with
• 1:10:36
  the people. The
• 1:10:38
  government will
• 1:10:38
  follow what the
• 1:10:39
  people do.
• 1:10:39
  It may take them
• 1:10:40
  some time, but
• 1:10:41
  they will follow
• 1:10:41
  what the people
• 1:10:42
  want to do.
• 1:10:43
  Here are some of
• 1:10:44
  the challenges
• 1:10:44
  because no
• 1:10:45
  project is
• 1:10:45
  perfect. Some of the
• 1:10:46
  challenges is private
• 1:10:48
  boater compliance
• 1:10:48
  remains
• 1:10:49
  inconsistent,
• 1:10:50
  especially during
• 1:10:51
  peak tourism
• 1:10:51
  months. This is
• 1:10:52
  going to be a
• 1:10:52
  long-term
• 1:10:53
  educational
• 1:10:53
  process that will
• 1:10:55
  make sure that
• 1:10:55
  over the long
• 1:10:57
  term people will
• 1:10:58
  not only be
• 1:10:59
  compliant,
• 1:11:00
  but also be
• 1:11:01
  enforced by other
• 1:11:02
  community
• 1:11:03
  members. That
• 1:11:03
  will be
• 1:11:04
  interesting. And
• 1:11:04
  enforcement
• 1:11:04
  resources, speaking
• 1:11:05
  of which,
• 1:11:06
  are limited,
• 1:11:07
  especially across
• 1:11:07
  a wide marina
• 1:11:09
  area or marine
• 1:11:10
  area. So that's
• 1:11:10
  very difficult.
• 1:11:11
  But you have
• 1:11:12
  people in the
• 1:11:12
  water all the
• 1:11:13
  time. You have
• 1:11:13
  people who are
• 1:11:14
  friends with
• 1:11:14
  other boaters and
• 1:11:15
  they make sure
• 1:11:16
  that they will
• 1:11:17
  behave over time.
• 1:11:18
  And as long as
• 1:11:19
  this continued
• 1:11:19
  with this
• 1:11:20
  approach, we'll
• 1:11:21
  see better
• 1:11:22
  behavior,
• 1:11:23
  hopefully
• 1:11:23
  over time.
• 1:11:24
  Noise pollution
• 1:11:25
  from commercial
• 1:11:26
  shipping and
• 1:11:26
  ferries remains a
• 1:11:28
  problem beyond
• 1:11:28
  whale watching
• 1:11:29
  industry. Now,
• 1:11:30
  there have been
• 1:11:30
  some projects,
• 1:11:32
  some pilot
• 1:11:32
  studies really
• 1:11:33
  that have worked
• 1:11:34
  with shipping
• 1:11:35
  industries to
• 1:11:36
  reduce noise
• 1:11:37
  within the San
• 1:11:37
  Juan Islands
• 1:11:38
  and other places
• 1:11:39
  like within Puget
• 1:11:40
  Sound. And so
• 1:11:41
  that is still
• 1:11:42
  something that
• 1:11:43
  needs to be
• 1:11:44
  determined even
• 1:11:45
  more. So
• 1:11:46
  something that we
• 1:11:47
  want to keep a
• 1:11:48
  close eye on, we
• 1:11:49
  want to make sure
• 1:11:49
  that we are
• 1:11:50
  working with all
• 1:11:51
  boaters,
• 1:11:51
  not just whale
• 1:11:51
  watching boats,
• 1:11:52
  but we want to
• 1:11:53
  work with all
• 1:11:53
  types of ships to
• 1:11:55
  make sure
• 1:11:55
  that we protect
• 1:11:56
  this very, very
• 1:11:57
  critically
• 1:11:58
  endangered
• 1:11:58
  population. So
• 1:12:00
  the legacy and
• 1:12:01
  the next steps
• 1:12:01
  for this
• 1:12:02
  conservation
• 1:12:02
  initiative and
• 1:12:03
  project, the B
• 1:12:05
  Whale Wise model
• 1:12:06
  is now studied as
• 1:12:07
  a template for
• 1:12:08
  community-led marine
• 1:12:08
  stewardship,
• 1:12:09
  which is great to
• 1:12:10
  see. The program
• 1:12:11
  continues to
• 1:12:12
  evolve with the
• 1:12:14
  input of
• 1:12:14
  scientists, indigenous
• 1:12:16
  nations,
• 1:12:17
  and the tourism
• 1:12:17
  sector. And then
• 1:12:19
  a growing number
• 1:12:19
  of kayak guides,
• 1:12:20
  drone
• 1:12:21
  operators, and
• 1:12:22
  paddle boarders
• 1:12:23
  are also being
• 1:12:23
  brought into this
• 1:12:24
  fold. And the
• 1:12:26
  whale warning
• 1:12:27
  flying system
• 1:12:28
  introduced more
• 1:12:29
  recently alerts
• 1:12:30
  nearby vessels to
• 1:12:32
  whale presence in
• 1:12:34
  real time. So the
• 1:12:35
  takeaway of this
• 1:12:36
  story is it shows
• 1:12:36
  that local
• 1:12:37
  stewards within
• 1:12:38
  an industry
• 1:12:39
  can recognize
• 1:12:39
  their impact, can
• 1:12:41
  mobilize their
• 1:12:41
  peers, and can
• 1:12:43
  drive behavior
• 1:12:43
  change that
• 1:12:44
  spreads to a
• 1:12:46
  regional policy
• 1:12:47
  and political
• 1:12:48
  norms or
• 1:12:48
  public norms.
• 1:12:49
  This is something
• 1:12:50
  that it's a case
• 1:12:51
  of basically a
• 1:12:52
  voluntary action
• 1:12:53
  influencing legal
• 1:12:54
  frameworks and a
• 1:12:56
  small island
• 1:12:56
  communities
• 1:12:57
  protecting the
• 1:12:58
  giants of
• 1:12:58
  the sea.
• 1:12:59
  It can happen,
• 1:13:00
  folks. It can
• 1:13:00
  happen. And we
• 1:13:01
  are seeing it
• 1:13:02
  happen in front
• 1:13:03
  of our eyes. We
• 1:13:04
  know that this is
• 1:13:05
  something that
• 1:13:06
  needs to continue
• 1:13:07
  to be addressed,
• 1:13:08
  but it's
• 1:13:08
  something that we
• 1:13:09
  are going to look
• 1:13:10
  out for.
• 1:13:10
  And I want to
• 1:13:11
  make sure that we
• 1:13:11
  are documenting
• 1:13:13
  it, right? That's
• 1:13:14
  the biggest
• 1:13:15
  thing. Okay,
• 1:13:16
  let's move on to
• 1:13:17
  the next story.
• 1:13:19
  This one's going
• 1:13:19
  to be a quick
• 1:13:19
  one. I saw this
• 1:13:21
  on TikTok as I
• 1:13:22
  was scrolling
• 1:13:23
  through and I was
• 1:13:23
  like, look, I was
• 1:13:24
  like, you know,
• 1:13:25
  when you're in
• 1:13:26
  the ocean, you've
• 1:13:27
  got to be
• 1:13:27
  responsible and
• 1:13:28
  you've got to be
• 1:13:28
  careful.
• 1:13:29
  There are a lot
• 1:13:30
  of videos of
• 1:13:31
  sharks out there
• 1:13:32
  that are
• 1:13:33
  beautiful videos
• 1:13:34
  of sharks, people
• 1:13:34
  keeping their
• 1:13:35
  distance, seeing
• 1:13:36
  behaviors of
• 1:13:36
  sharks that are
• 1:13:38
  non aggressive,
• 1:13:39
  might be avoiding
• 1:13:40
  sometimes
• 1:13:41
  swimming away.
• 1:13:41
  If they're
• 1:13:41
  swimming away,
• 1:13:42
  leave them alone.
• 1:13:43
  If they're
• 1:13:43
  swimming towards
• 1:13:44
  you, take
• 1:13:44
  precautions and
• 1:13:45
  so forth. This is
• 1:13:46
  not for everybody
• 1:13:47
  being
• 1:13:48
  around a shark.
• 1:13:49
  A lot of times
• 1:13:49
  when you see
• 1:13:50
  people in videos,
• 1:13:50
  they've been
• 1:13:50
  around sharks for
• 1:13:52
  a long time and
• 1:13:53
  they know the
• 1:13:53
  risks, but they
• 1:13:54
  also know how to
• 1:13:55
  behave around
• 1:13:56
  sharks in
• 1:13:56
  different types
• 1:13:57
  of behaviors that
• 1:13:58
  they exhibit.
• 1:13:59
  If they're more
• 1:13:59
  aggressive, they
• 1:14:00
  know what to do.
• 1:14:01
  They're less
• 1:14:01
  aggressive, they
• 1:14:01
  know what to do
• 1:14:02
  and they know not
• 1:14:02
  to prod and poke
• 1:14:03
  for most part.
• 1:14:04
  So you have to be
• 1:14:05
  careful if you're
• 1:14:06
  not somebody
• 1:14:06
  who's been around
• 1:14:07
  sharks for a long
• 1:14:08
  time to be
• 1:14:08
  careful and just
• 1:14:09
  stay away and
• 1:14:10
  don't touch.
• 1:14:11
  Obviously, that's
• 1:14:11
  something that
• 1:14:12
  every scuba diver
• 1:14:13
  knows everybody
• 1:14:13
  should
• 1:14:14
  know as well.
• 1:14:15
  All right. I
• 1:14:15
  wanted to just
• 1:14:17
  kind of look at a
• 1:14:18
  video. There's no
• 1:14:19
  sound on
• 1:14:20
  this video.
• 1:14:20
  Well, there's
• 1:14:21
  probably music on
• 1:14:22
  it, but there's
• 1:14:22
  no sound. It says
• 1:14:23
  here shark
• 1:14:24
  attacks jet ski.
• 1:14:25
  And so when I see
• 1:14:26
  this, I'm already
• 1:14:27
  very curious of
• 1:14:30
  what's
• 1:14:30
  happening here.
• 1:14:31
  Sharks just don't
• 1:14:32
  go and attack jet
• 1:14:33
  skis on its own.
• 1:14:35
  Sharks will react
• 1:14:37
  to
• 1:14:37
  certain things.
• 1:14:38
  And when I saw
• 1:14:39
  this, when I
• 1:14:39
  initially saw
• 1:14:40
  this, I was like,
• 1:14:40
  I have a feeling
• 1:14:41
  this is not a
• 1:14:42
  shark attack or
• 1:14:43
  shark event.
• 1:14:44
  So let's just
• 1:14:45
  take a look and
• 1:14:46
  see what this is
• 1:14:47
  all about.
• 1:14:48
  And I want to I
• 1:14:49
  want to kind of
• 1:14:49
  talk about it
• 1:14:50
  right after just
• 1:14:51
  what not to do
• 1:14:52
  around a shark.
• 1:14:53
  If you see a
• 1:14:53
  shark in the
• 1:14:54
  ocean, this is
• 1:14:54
  obviously a very
• 1:14:55
  shallow area in
• 1:14:55
  the ocean, very
• 1:14:56
  clear water.
• 1:14:57
  You can see that
• 1:14:57
  this is a shark.
• 1:14:58
  And here we go.
• 1:15:00
  So he's got a jet
• 1:15:01
  ski. He's in and
• 1:15:02
  around the shark.
• 1:15:03
  He's following
• 1:15:03
  the shark sharks
• 1:15:04
  trying to
• 1:15:04
  get away.
• 1:15:05
  It's pretty big
• 1:15:05
  shark and it goes
• 1:15:07
  after the boat or
• 1:15:09
  it goes after the
• 1:15:09
  jet ski and watch
• 1:15:10
  it again.
• 1:15:11
  Again, moving
• 1:15:12
  away from the
• 1:15:13
  ship or from the
• 1:15:14
  jet ski
• 1:15:15
  coming close.
• 1:15:16
  Yeah, you're
• 1:15:16
  annoying the
• 1:15:17
  shark. Let's
• 1:15:18
  watch it
• 1:15:18
  one more time.
• 1:15:19
  You know, don't
• 1:15:20
  annoy big sharks.
• 1:15:21
  Don't annoy
• 1:15:21
  sharks at all.
• 1:15:22
  You're following
• 1:15:23
  this with a loud
• 1:15:24
  boat and people
• 1:15:26
  just people don't
• 1:15:28
  like jet skis.
• 1:15:28
  And this shark
• 1:15:29
  definitely
• 1:15:29
  doesn't like the
• 1:15:30
  jet ski. So I
• 1:15:31
  want to share
• 1:15:32
  that with you of
• 1:15:32
  what not to
• 1:15:33
  do sharks.
• 1:15:33
  And that's not a
• 1:15:34
  shark attack.
• 1:15:34
  This is a shark
• 1:15:34
  defending itself
• 1:15:35
  and just be
• 1:15:37
  better around
• 1:15:38
  around sharks.
• 1:15:39
  That's really
• 1:15:39
  what it comes
• 1:15:41
  down to is you
• 1:15:41
  just you just
• 1:15:42
  have to be better
• 1:15:43
  and act better
• 1:15:44
  and act more
• 1:15:45
  responsible when
• 1:15:47
  you're
• 1:15:47
  around sharks.
• 1:15:48
  OK, now we are
• 1:15:49
  going to go into
• 1:15:50
  I want to show
• 1:15:51
  the trailer. I
• 1:15:51
  don't know if I
• 1:15:52
  have the rights
• 1:15:53
  to show the
• 1:15:53
  trailer.
• 1:15:54
  So hopefully they
• 1:15:54
  don't take this
• 1:15:55
  down. But I
• 1:15:56
  wanted to show
• 1:15:57
  part of the
• 1:15:57
  trailer, at least
• 1:15:58
  for the David,
• 1:16:01
  the David
• 1:16:01
  Attenborough
• 1:16:02
  movie Ocean.
• 1:16:03
  He turned ninety
• 1:16:03
  nine this week.
• 1:16:04
  So it's pretty
• 1:16:05
  cool. So here we
• 1:16:06
  go. We're going
• 1:16:06
  to just kind of
• 1:16:07
  talk about it.
• 1:16:08
  We're going to
• 1:16:08
  see what this is
• 1:16:09
  all about. So
• 1:16:12
  here I'm actually
• 1:16:13
  not going to
• 1:16:13
  allow the
• 1:16:14
  sound plays.
• 1:16:14
  I don't know if
• 1:16:15
  I'm allowed to
• 1:16:15
  play this, but
• 1:16:16
  this is just the
• 1:16:18
  trailer. You can
• 1:16:18
  go see it. I'll
• 1:16:19
  link to it in the
• 1:16:20
  show notes,
• 1:16:20
  showing a lot of
• 1:16:21
  beautiful images,
• 1:16:22
  talking about
• 1:16:23
  some of the
• 1:16:24
  problems here.
• 1:16:25
  And I'm going to
• 1:16:25
  stop here because
• 1:16:26
  I really don't
• 1:16:26
  think I'm allowed
• 1:16:27
  to play this, but
• 1:16:28
  we'll see.
• 1:16:29
  But anyway, what
• 1:16:30
  this talks about
• 1:16:31
  in this in the
• 1:16:33
  movie, a big part
• 1:16:34
  of this come out
• 1:16:35
  of the movie
• 1:16:35
  because it was
• 1:16:36
  originally aired
• 1:16:37
  May 8 in the U.K.
• 1:16:39
  Was really about
• 1:16:41
  trolley. There
• 1:16:43
  was a lot on on
• 1:16:44
  trolley. There
• 1:16:44
  was a there was
• 1:16:45
  an incident or a
• 1:16:46
  scene in the
• 1:16:47
  movie where the
• 1:16:49
  troll shows it
• 1:16:50
  actually
• 1:16:50
  functioning.
• 1:16:51
  And essentially,
• 1:16:51
  if you don't know
• 1:16:52
  what a troll is,
• 1:16:54
  it is a net, a
• 1:16:56
  huge net that has
• 1:16:58
  an opening and
• 1:16:59
  strings that are
• 1:17:00
  attached
• 1:17:00
  to the boat.
• 1:17:01
  And then when it
• 1:17:02
  is laid out, it's
• 1:17:02
  got these boards
• 1:17:03
  on the bottom and
• 1:17:05
  those boards and
• 1:17:06
  then a chain
• 1:17:06
  along that is
• 1:17:07
  attaching those
• 1:17:08
  boards and those
• 1:17:08
  go along
• 1:17:09
  the bottom.
• 1:17:09
  So when it gets
• 1:17:09
  released, it goes
• 1:17:10
  to the on the
• 1:17:11
  bottom on the
• 1:17:12
  ground, the sea
• 1:17:12
  floor, usually in
• 1:17:14
  a shallow area,
• 1:17:14
  sometimes in a
• 1:17:15
  deeper area.
• 1:17:15
  And then
• 1:17:16
  essentially what
• 1:17:16
  happens is those
• 1:17:17
  doors give it
• 1:17:17
  weight, the
• 1:17:18
  chain. And as the
• 1:17:19
  boat moves, it
• 1:17:20
  just scrapes
• 1:17:21
  along the ocean
• 1:17:22
  and the
• 1:17:23
  ocean bottom.
• 1:17:24
  And it just
• 1:17:24
  destroys
• 1:17:24
  everything that's
• 1:17:26
  that's underneath
• 1:17:26
  it or that's in
• 1:17:27
  its pathway,
• 1:17:28
  ideally bringing
• 1:17:29
  fish into the net
• 1:17:31
  and is catching
• 1:17:31
  indiscriminately
• 1:17:32
  fish or fish
• 1:17:34
  indiscriminately.
• 1:17:35
  It can catch sea
• 1:17:35
  turtles. It can
• 1:17:36
  catch dolphins.
• 1:17:37
  It can catch a
• 1:17:38
  lot of things.
• 1:17:39
  And we just you
• 1:17:40
  know, you never
• 1:17:41
  know what you're
• 1:17:41
  going to catch.
• 1:17:42
  There have been
• 1:17:42
  sea lions in
• 1:17:43
  there. There have
• 1:17:43
  been sharks in
• 1:17:44
  there, all
• 1:17:45
  different sizes,
• 1:17:45
  whale sharks,
• 1:17:46
  depending on the
• 1:17:47
  size of the net.
• 1:17:48
  And then it
• 1:17:49
  brings it up and
• 1:17:49
  then people sift
• 1:17:50
  through it and
• 1:17:51
  they get rid of
• 1:17:51
  what they don't
• 1:17:52
  want and what
• 1:17:52
  they call
• 1:17:53
  bycatch.
• 1:17:54
  And then they go
• 1:17:55
  and then they
• 1:17:55
  leave. They keep
• 1:17:56
  whatever they
• 1:17:56
  want and
• 1:17:56
  they leave.
• 1:17:57
  But a lot of
• 1:17:57
  stuff that they
• 1:17:58
  throw over the
• 1:17:58
  bycatch end up
• 1:17:59
  dying on either
• 1:18:00
  on the way up,
• 1:18:01
  depending on how
• 1:18:01
  deep it is or as
• 1:18:03
  they're just on
• 1:18:03
  the getting
• 1:18:04
  sifted through a
• 1:18:05
  way to get sifted
• 1:18:06
  through and
• 1:18:06
  thrown overboard.
• 1:18:07
  So it's very
• 1:18:08
  destructive
• 1:18:08
  fishing. It's
• 1:18:09
  something
• 1:18:09
  especially
• 1:18:09
  in the UK.
• 1:18:10
  They're trying to
• 1:18:11
  get banned
• 1:18:11
  because up until
• 1:18:12
  recently,
• 1:18:13
  trawling was
• 1:18:13
  allowed in the
• 1:18:14
  marine protected
• 1:18:15
  areas, which
• 1:18:15
  doesn't really
• 1:18:16
  protect anything
• 1:18:17
  in that area.
• 1:18:18
  If you're trying
• 1:18:18
  to destroy the
• 1:18:19
  bottom, it will
• 1:18:20
  take basically a
• 1:18:20
  swath of couple
• 1:18:21
  of kilometers.
• 1:18:22
  That's maybe 20
• 1:18:24
  feet wide, you
• 1:18:25
  know, something
• 1:18:26
  like that. Nine,
• 1:18:27
  nine meters wide,
• 1:18:28
  maybe a little,
• 1:18:28
  maybe a
• 1:18:29
  little less.
• 1:18:30
  And and it'll
• 1:18:31
  just take these
• 1:18:31
  strips out of the
• 1:18:32
  habitat.
• 1:18:32
  And if you
• 1:18:33
  continue to trawl
• 1:18:34
  over the same
• 1:18:34
  habitat, you're
• 1:18:35
  going to destroy
• 1:18:36
  a lot of things.
• 1:18:37
  It's not just
• 1:18:37
  going to be one
• 1:18:37
  pathway. It's
• 1:18:38
  going to be a lot
• 1:18:39
  of things.
• 1:18:40
  So that's
• 1:18:40
  something that we
• 1:18:40
  have to be
• 1:18:41
  careful of.
• 1:18:41
  And that really
• 1:18:42
  what's
• 1:18:43
  interesting about
• 1:18:43
  the movie is it
• 1:18:44
  showed exactly
• 1:18:45
  what happened
• 1:18:46
  during the trial.
• 1:18:47
  It had, you know,
• 1:18:48
  the opening and
• 1:18:49
  showed it
• 1:18:50
  in the water.
• 1:18:50
  And then you saw
• 1:18:51
  a trial actually
• 1:18:52
  working.
• 1:18:52
  We've talked
• 1:18:53
  about trials
• 1:18:53
  before, but this
• 1:18:54
  is really one of
• 1:18:55
  the first times
• 1:18:56
  that people in a
• 1:18:57
  large scale
• 1:18:57
  audience have
• 1:18:58
  seen this type of
• 1:19:00
  of incident.
• 1:19:01
  And people were
• 1:19:02
  not happy.
• 1:19:03
  It was very
• 1:19:03
  emotional.
• 1:19:04
  Obviously, David
• 1:19:04
  Attenborough, Sir
• 1:19:05
  David
• 1:19:05
  Attenborough is a
• 1:19:07
  genius when it
• 1:19:07
  comes to
• 1:19:08
  communication,
• 1:19:09
  really pulling at
• 1:19:10
  the heartstrings
• 1:19:11
  when you see a
• 1:19:12
  scene like this
• 1:19:13
  and something
• 1:19:14
  that nobody
• 1:19:15
  wants to see.
• 1:19:16
  So I thought it
• 1:19:16
  was interesting
• 1:19:17
  to share.
• 1:19:18
  I will be
• 1:19:18
  watching the
• 1:19:19
  movie is coming
• 1:19:19
  out in my local
• 1:19:20
  area, Burlington,
• 1:19:21
