Sylvia Earle: How to protect the oceans (TED Prize winner!)

Translator: Dean Mavric Reviewer: Kim Turk Križanec

Fifty years ago, when I began exploring the ocean,

Pred petdesetimi leti, ko sem začela raziskovati oceane,

no one -- not Jacques Perrin, not Jacques Cousteau or Rachel Carson --

si nihče – niti Jacques Perrin, Jacques Cousteau ali Rachel Carson --

imagined that we could do anything to harm the ocean

ni predstavljal, da lahko prizadanemo oceane

by what we put into it or by what we took out of it.

s tem kar vanje spuščamo ali s tem kar iz njih jemljemo.

It seemed, at that time, to be a sea of Eden,

Tedaj je bilo morje kot iz raja,

but now we know, and now we are facing paradise lost.

a danes vemo, da je ta raj izgubljen.

I want to share with you

Z vami bi rada delila

my personal view of changes in the sea that affect all of us,

moj osebni pogled na spremembe v morjih, ki se dotikajo vseh nas

and to consider why it matters that in 50 years, we've lost --

in vam ponazoriti zakaj se je pomembno zavedati, da smo v 50 letih izgubili –

actually, we've taken, we've eaten --

pravzaprav smo vzeli, pojedli –

more than 90 percent of the big fish in the sea;

več kot 90 odstotkov velikih rib iz oceanov,

why you should care that nearly half of the coral reefs have disappeared;

zakaj nas bi moralo skrbeti, da je izginila skoraj polovica koralnih grebenov,

why a mysterious depletion of oxygen in large areas of the Pacific

zakaj bi pomanjkanje kisika na velikih območjih Tihega oceana

should concern not only the creatures that are dying,

moralo skrbeti ne le bitj, ki umirajo,

but it really should concern you.

ampak tudi vas.

It does concern you, as well.

Kajti to zadeva nas vse.

I'm haunted by the thought of what Ray Anderson calls "tomorrow's child,"

Preganja me misel, ki jo Ray Anderson imenuje »jutrišnji otrok«,

asking why we didn't do something on our watch

ki nas sprašuje, zakaj med našo izmeno straže nismo česa ukrenili

to save sharks and bluefin tuna and squids and coral reefs and the living ocean

za ohranitev morskih psov, modroplavutih tunov, koralnih grebenov in živega oceana

while there still was time.

dokler je bilo to še mogoče.

Well, now is that time.

Torej, zdaj je tisti pravi čas!

I hope for your help

Računam na vašo pomoč

to explore and protect the wild ocean

pri raziskovanju in zaščiti oceanov,

in ways that will restore the health and,

da se jim povrne zdravje

in so doing, secure hope for humankind.

in s tem zagotoviti upanje za človeštvo.

Health to the ocean means health for us.

Zdravje oceanov pomeni tudi zdravje za vse nas.

And I hope Jill Tarter's wish to engage Earthlings includes dolphins and whales

Upam tudi, da želja Jill Tarter po sodelovanju zemljanov vključuje tudi delfine, kite

and other sea creatures

in druga morska bitja

in this quest to find intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.

v iskanju inteligentnega življenja drugod v vesolju.

And I hope, Jill, that someday

Jill, upam da bomo nekega dne

we will find evidence that there is intelligent life among humans on this planet.

našli dokaze o inteligentnemu življenju tudi med ljudmi na tem našem planetu.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Did I say that? I guess I did.

To sem rekla? Najbrž res.

For me, as a scientist,

Zame, kot znanstvenico,

it all began in 1953

se je vse začelo leta 1953,

when I first tried scuba.

ko sem se prvič potapljala.

It's when I first got to know fish swimming

Bilo je prvič, da sem zagledala ribe plavati

in something other than lemon slices and butter.

v nečem, kar niso rezinice limone in masla.

I actually love diving at night;

Rada se potapljam ponoči.

you see a lot of fish then that you don't see in the daytime.

Vidiš veliko rib, ki jih podnevi ne moreš.

Diving day and night was really easy for me in 1970,

Potapljati se podnevi in ponoči je bilo zame res enostavno leta 1970,

when I led a team of aquanauts living underwater for weeks at a time --

ko sem vodila skupino akvanavtov, ki so več tednov živeli pod vodo,

at the same time that astronauts were putting their footprints on the moon.

medtem ko so astronavti puščali svoje stopinje na Luni.

In 1979 I had a chance to put my footprints on the ocean floor

Leta 1979 sem imela priložnost pustiti svoje stopinje na dnu oceana

while using this personal submersible called Jim.

z uporabo tega skafandra imenovanega Jim.

It was six miles offshore and 1,250 feet down.

Bilo je 10 kilometrov od obale in 400m globoko.

It's one of my favorite bathing suits.

To so ene mojih najljubših kopalk.

Since then, I've used about 30 kinds of submarines

Od tedaj sem uporabljala približno 30 različic podmornic

and I've started three companies and a nonprofit foundation called Deep Search

in ustanovila tri podjetja ter neprofitno združenje Deep Search,

to design and build systems

da bi razvijali in izdelovali sisteme,

to access the deep sea.

s katerimi bi dostopali v globine oceana.

I led a five-year National Geographic expedition,

Vodila sem petletno ekspedicijo National Geographica,

the Sustainable Seas expeditions,

in ekspedicije Trajnostna morja,

using these little subs.

na katerih smo uporabljali te male podmornice.

They're so simple to drive that even a scientist can do it.

Tako enostavne so za upravljanje, da jih celo znanstvenik obvlada.

And I'm living proof.

In sama sem živ dokaz.

Astronauts and aquanauts alike

Astronavti in akvanavti enako

really appreciate the importance of air, food, water, temperature --

cenijo pomembnost zraka, hrane, vode, temperature,

all the things you need to stay alive in space or under the sea.

vseh pogojev za ohranitev življenja v vesolju ali pod vodo.

I heard astronaut Joe Allen explain

Slišala sem astronavta Joeja Allena razlagati,

how he had to learn everything he could about his life support system

kako se je moral naučiti vsega mogočega o napravi, ki je ohranjanjala njegove življenjske funkcije,

and then do everything he could

in kako je moral potem početi vse mogoče,

to take care of his life support system;

da je skrbel zanjo.

and then he pointed to this and he said, "Life support system."

Potem pa je pokazal na tole in dejal: "Sistem za ohranjanje življenja."

We need to learn everything we can about it

Moramo ga spoznati v podrobnosti in storiti

and do everything we can to take care of it.

vse kar moremo v skrbi zanj.

The poet Auden said, "Thousands have lived without love;

Pesnik Auden je dejal: "Tisoči so živeli brez ljubezni.

none without water."

Nihče brez vode."

Ninety-seven percent of Earth's water is ocean.

Sedemindevetdeset odstotkov vode na Zemlji je v oceanih.

No blue, no green.

Brez modrine ni zelenja.

If you think the ocean isn't important,

Če mislite, da ocean ni pomemben,

imagine Earth without it.

si predstavljajte Zemljo brez njega.

Mars comes to mind.

Na misel mi pride Mars.

No ocean, no life support system.

Brez oceana. Brez sistema za ohranjanje življenja.

I gave a talk not so long ago at the World Bank

Nedavno sem predavala na Svetovni banki

and I showed this amazing image of Earth

in pokazala tole čudovito sliko Zemlje

and I said, "There it is! The World Bank!"

z besedami, "Tukaj je! To je Svetovna Banka!"

That's where all the assets are!

Tukaj so vsa sredstva!

And we've been trawling them down

In mi jih izrabljamo

much faster than the natural systems can replenish them.

veliko hitreje kot jih naravni sistemi lahko obnavljajo.

Tim Worth says the economy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the environment.

Tim Worth pravi, da je gospodarstvo hčerinsko podjetje v stoodstotni lasti okolja.

With every drop of water you drink,

Z vsako kapljo popite vode,

every breath you take,

vsakim vdihom zraka,

you're connected to the sea.

smo povezani z morjem.

No matter where on Earth you live.

Ne glede na to kje na Zemlji živimo.

Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is generated by the sea.

Večina kisika v atmosferi se ustvarja v morju.

Over time, most of the planet's organic carbon

Sčasoma je postala večina organskega ogljika na planetu

has been absorbed and stored there,

spravljena tam,

mostly by microbes.

večinoma v mikrobih.

The ocean drives climate and weather,

Oceani narekujejo podnebja in vreme,

stabilizes temperature, shapes Earth's chemistry.

uravnavajo temperaturo, oblikujejo Zemljino kemijo.

Water from the sea forms clouds

Voda iz morij tvori oblake,

that return to the land and the seas

ki se vračajo na kopno in v morja

as rain, sleet and snow,

kot dež, žled in sneg

and provides home for about 97 percent of life in the world,

in nudijo dom približno 97 odstotkom življenja na Zemlji,

maybe in the universe.

mogoče v vesolju.

No water, no life;

Brez vode ni življenja.

no blue, no green.

Ni modrine, ni zelenja.

Yet we have this idea, we humans,

Kljub temu pa imamo to idejo, mi ljudje,

that the Earth -- all of it: the oceans, the skies --

da je Zemlja – v celoti: oceani, nebo –

are so vast and so resilient

tako prostrana in tako prožna,

it doesn't matter what we do to it.

da ni pomembno, kaj počnemo z njo.

That may have been true 10,000 years ago,

Morda je bilo to res pred 10.000 leti,

and maybe even 1,000 years ago

morda celo pred 1.000 leti

but in the last 100, especially in the last 50,

a v zadnjih 100, posebej pa v zadnjih 50

we've drawn down the assets,

smo izčrpali sredstva,

the air, the water, the wildlife

zrak, vodo, divje živali

that make our lives possible.

ki omogočajo naša življenja.

New technologies are helping us to understand

Nove tehnologije nam omogočajo razumevanje

the nature of nature;

narave naše narave,

the nature of what's happening,

naravo sedanjih dogodkov.

showing us our impact on the Earth.

Prikazujejo nam naš vpliv na Zemljo.

I mean, first you have to know that you've got a problem.

Mislim, najprej moramo razumeti, da imamo problem.

And fortunately, in our time,

In na srečo smo v našem času

we've learned more about the problems than in all preceding history.

spoznali več o problemih kot v vsej predhodni zgodovini.

And with knowing comes caring.

In z vedenjem pride tudi skrb.

And with caring, there's hope

In s skrbjo pride tudi upanje,

that we can find an enduring place for ourselves

da bomo našli trajno mesto za nas

within the natural systems that support us.

znotraj naravnih sistemov, ki nas podpirajo.

But first we have to know.

Ampak najprej moramo vedeti.

Three years ago, I met John Hanke,

Pred tremi leti sem spoznala Johna Hankeja,

who's the head of Google Earth,

vodjo projekta Google Zemlja,

and I told him how much I loved being able to hold the world in my hands

in povedala sem mu, kako mi je všeč, da lahko držim svet v svojih rokah

and go exploring vicariously.

in ga tako posredno raziskujem.

But I asked him: "When are you going to finish it?

Vendar sem ga vprašala: "Kdaj ga boste pa dokončali?

You did a great job with the land, the dirt.

Odlično ste opravili s kopnim, z zemljo.

What about the water?"

Kaj pa vode?"

Since then, I've had the great pleasure of working with the Googlers,

Od tedaj z velikim zadovoljstvom delam z Googlovo ekipo

with DOER Marine, with National Geographic,

z DOER Marine, z National Geographicom,

with dozens of the best institutions and scientists around the world,

z ducati najboljših institucij in znanstvenikov po celem svetu,

ones that we could enlist,

s katerimi smo se povezali,

to put the ocean in Google Earth.

da bi spravili oceane v Google Zemlja.

And as of just this week, last Monday,

In prav od tega tedna, preteklega ponedeljka,

Google Earth is now whole.

je Google Zemlja popoln.

Consider this: Starting right here at the convention center,

Poglejte: če začnemo v tem kongresnem centru,

we can find the nearby aquarium,

lahko najdemo bližnji akvarij,

we can look at where we're sitting,

lahko pogledamo kje zdaj sedimo,

and then we can cruise up the coast to the big aquarium, the ocean,

in lahko odjadramo ob obali do velikega akvarija, oceana

and California's four national marine sanctuaries,

do štirih nacionalnih morskih rezervatov v Kaliforniji

and the new network of state marine reserves

in po novi mreži kalifornijskih morskih rezervatov,

that are beginning to protect and restore some of the assets

ki začenjajo ohranjati in ponovno vzpostavljati nekaj dobrin.

We can flit over to Hawaii

Lahko odletimo do Havajev

and see the real Hawaiian Islands:

in vidimo prave Havajske otoke...

not just the little bit that pokes through the surface,

Ne samo tisti mali del, ki je viden na površju,

but also what's below.

ampak tudi tisto spodaj.

To see -- wait a minute, we can go kshhplash! --

Vidimo -- samo trenutek, lahko gremo štrbunk! --

right there, ha --

prav tja

under the ocean, see what the whales see.

pod morje in vidimo tisto, kar vidijo kiti.

We can go explore the other side of the Hawaiian Islands.

Lahko raziskujemo drugo stran havajskih otokov.

We can go actually and swim around on Google Earth

Z Google Zemlja lahko prav zares plavamo naokoli

and visit with humpback whales.

in obiščemo kite grbavce.

These are the gentle giants that I've had the pleasure of meeting face to face

To so prijazni velikani, ki sem jih na moje veliko veselje srečala iz oči v oči

many times underwater.

velikokrat pod vodo.

There's nothing quite like being personally inspected by a whale.

Nič se ne more primerjati z osebno preiskavo kita.

We can pick up and fly to the deepest place:

Lahko se dvignemo in odletimo do najglobljih krajev:

seven miles down, the Mariana Trench,

12 kilometrov globoko v Marijanski jarek,

where only two people have ever been.

kjer sta do sedaj bila le dva človeka.

Imagine that. It's only seven miles,

Predstavljajte si tole. Samo 12 kilometrov je,

but only two people have been there, 49 years ago.

pa sta le dva človeka bila tam, pred 49 leti.

One-way trips are easy.

Enosmerna potovanja so enostavna.

We need new deep-diving submarines.

Potrebujemo nove podmornice za globoke potope.

How about some X Prizes for ocean exploration?

Kaj ko bi imeli X Nagrade za raziskovanje oceanov?

We need to see deep trenches, the undersea mountains,

Videti moramo globoke jarke, podvodna gorovja,

and understand life in the deep sea.

in razumeti življenje v globokem morju.

We can now go to the Arctic.

Danes lahko obiščemo Arktiko.

Just ten years ago I stood on the ice at the North Pole.

Pred samo desetimi leti sem stala na ledu Severnega tečaja.

An ice-free Arctic Ocean may happen in this century.

Severno ledeno morje brez ledu se lahko zgodi še v tem stoletju.

That's bad news for the polar bears.

To je slaba novica za severne medvede.

That's bad news for us too.

In je slaba novica tudi za nas.

Excess carbon dioxide is not only driving global warming,

Ne le da preveč ogljikovega dioksida poganja globalno segrevanje,

it's also changing ocean chemistry,

spreminja tudi kemijsko sestavo oceanov,

making the sea more acidic.

kar povzroča, da je morje bolj kislo.

That's bad news for coral reefs and oxygen-producing plankton.

To je slaba novica za koralne grebene in plankton, ki ustvarja kisik.

Also it's bad news for us.

Spet slabe novice za nas.

We're putting hundreds of millions of tons of plastic

Odlagamo stotine milijonov ton plastike

and other trash into the sea.

in drugih smeti v morja.

Millions of tons of discarded fishing nets,

Milijoni ton odvrženih ribiških mrež,

gear that continues to kill.

orodje ki nadaljuje ubijanje.

We're clogging the ocean, poisoning the planet's circulatory system,

Mašimo oceane, zastrupljamo obtok našega planeta,

and we're taking out hundreds of millions of tons of wildlife,

in iz njega jemljemo stotine milijonov ton divjih živali,

all carbon-based units.

vse enote na osnovi ogljika.

Barbarically, we're killing sharks for shark fin soup,

Barbarsko ubijamo morske pse, da iz njihovih plavuti delamo juho,

undermining food chains that shape planetary chemistry

spodkopujemo prehranjevalne verige, ki oblikujejo planetarno kemijo

and drive the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle,

in poganjajo kroženje ogljika, kroženje dušika,

the oxygen cycle, the water cycle --

kroženje kisika, kroženje vode,

our life support system.

naš življenski podporni sistem.

We're still killing bluefin tuna; truly endangered

Še vedno pobijamo modroplavute tune, ki so resnično ogroženi,

and much more valuable alive than dead.

in vredni veliko več živi kot pa ujeti in mrtvi.

All of these parts are part of our life support system.

To vse so sestavni deli našega sistema za vzdrževanje življenja.

We kill using long lines, with baited hooks every few feet

Ubijamo z uporabo dolgih vrvi s trnki na vsak meter,

that may stretch for 50 miles or more.

ki se raztezajo tudi 90km ali več.

Industrial trawlers and draggers are scraping the sea floor

Industrijski vlačilci strgajo po morskem dnu

like bulldozers, taking everything in their path.

kot buldožerji in pobirajo vse, kar jim je na poti.

Using Google Earth you can witness trawlers --

Z uporabo Google Zemlja lahko opazujete vlečne mreže

in China, the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico --

v Kitajskem, Severnem morju, v Mehiškem zalivu,

shaking the foundation of our life support system,

kako stresajo temelje našega sistema za ohranjanje življenja .

leaving plumes of death in their path.

in za sabo puščajo samo smrt.

The next time you dine on sushi -- or sashimi,

Naslednjič, ko boste večerjali suši ali sašimi,

or swordfish steak, or shrimp cocktail,

ali zrezek iz mečarice, ali koktajl rakcev,

whatever wildlife you happen to enjoy from the ocean --

katerokoli žival iz oceana pač jeste,

think of the real cost.

pomislite na resnično ceno.

For every pound that goes to market,

Za vsak kilogram, ki pride na tržišče,

more than 10 pounds, even 100 pounds,

se več kot 10 kg, včasih celo 100 kg,

may be thrown away as bycatch.

lahko zavrže kot stranski ulov.

This is the consequence of not knowing

To je posledica nezavedanja,

that there are limits to what we can take out of the sea.

da je vse kar jemljemo iz morja omejeno.

This chart shows the decline in ocean wildlife

Tale diagram kaže upad moskega živalstva

from 1900 to 2000.

od 1900 do 2000.

The highest concentrations are in red.

Najvišje vrednosti so rdeče barve.

In my lifetime, imagine,

Za časa mojega življenja, pomislite,

90 percent of the big fish have been killed.

je bilo pobitih 90 odstotkov velikih rib.

Most of the turtles, sharks, tunas and whales

Večini želv, morskih psov, tunov in kitov

are way down in numbers.

resno upada populacija.

But, there is good news.

Ampak novice so tudi dobre.

Ten percent of the big fish still remain.

10 odstotkov velikih rib še ostaja.

There are still some blue whales.

Še vedno je nekaj sinjih kitov.

There are still some krill in Antarctica.

Še vedno je nekaj planktonskih rakcev na Antarktiki.

There are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay.

Še je nekaj ostrig v zalivu Chesapeake.

Half the coral reefs are still in pretty good shape,

Polovica koralnih grebenov je še v dobrem stanju,

a jeweled belt around the middle of the planet.

pas draguljev okoli sredine planeta.

There's still time, but not a lot,

Še je čas, čeprav ga ni veliko,

to turn things around.

da obrnemo stvari.

But business as usual means that in 50 years,

Če bomo poslovali tako kot poslujemo danes pa v 50 letih

there may be no coral reefs --

ne bo več koralnih grebenov,

and no commercial fishing, because the fish will simply be gone.

ne bo več ribolova, ker tudi rib enostavno ne bo več.

Imagine the ocean without fish.

Predstavljajte si ocean brez rib.

Imagine what that means to our life support system.

Predstavljajte si, kaj to pomeni za naš sistem za ohranjanje življenja.

Natural systems on the land are in big trouble too,

Tudi naravni sistemi na kopnem so v težavah,

but the problems are more obvious,

ampak te težave so očitne

and some actions are being taken to protect trees, watersheds and wildlife.

in v teku je nekaj akcij za zaščito gozdov, povodij in živalstva.

And in 1872, with Yellowstone National Park,

Leta 1872 so z narodnim parkom Yellowstone

the United States began establishing a system of parks

ZDA začele ustanavljati sistem parkov,

that some say was the best idea America ever had.

kar je po mnenju nekaterih najboljša ideja, ki jih je Amerika kdajkoli imela.

About 12 percent of the land around the world is now protected:

Približno 12 odstotkov svetovnega ozemlja je zdaj zaščitenega,

safeguarding biodiversity, providing a carbon sink,

s čimer se ščiti biološka raznolikost, zagotavlja ponor ogljika,

generating oxygen, protecting watersheds.

ustvarja kisik, ščitijo povodja.

And, in 1972, this nation began to establish a counterpart in the sea,

Leta 1972 je ta narod začel postavljati protiutež tudi v morju,

National Marine Sanctuaries.

nacionalne morske rezervate.

That's another great idea.

To je še ena velika ideja.

The good news is

Dobra novica je,

that there are now more than 4,000 places in the sea, around the world,

da je danes več kot 4.000 morskih območij po svetu,

that have some kind of protection.

ki uživajo neko vrsto zaščite.

And you can find them on Google Earth.

Lahko jih najdete tudi na Google Zemlji.

The bad news is

Slaba novica je,

that you have to look hard to find them.

da se morate pošteno potruditi, da jih najdete.

In the last three years, for example,

Na primer, v zadnjih treh letih,

the U.S. protected 340,000 square miles of ocean as national monuments.

so v ZDA zaščitili skoraj 1.200.000 kvadratnih kilometrov morja kot narodne spomenike.

But it only increased from 0.6 of one percent

Ampak porast je bil le iz 0,6 odstotka

to 0.8 of one percent of the ocean protected, globally.

na 0,8 odstotka zaščitenega oceana globalno gledano.

Protected areas do rebound,

Zaščitena območja si opomorejo,

but it takes a long time to restore

vendar je proces obnove dolg.

50-year-old rockfish or monkfish, sharks or sea bass,

Petdesetletne škarpene ali morske žabe, morski psi ali brancini,

or 200-year-old orange roughy.

ali dvestoletna oranžna sluzoglavka.

We don't consume 200-year-old cows or chickens.

Ne hranimo se z dvesto let starim govedom ali piščanci.

Protected areas provide hope

Zaščitena območja dajejo upanje,

that the creatures of Ed Wilson's dream

da živali iz sanj Eda Wilson,

of an encyclopedia of life, or the census of marine life,

da ustvari enciklopedijo življenja oziroma popis morskih bitij,

will live not just as a list,

ne bodo preživele zgolj kot seznam,

a photograph, or a paragraph.

fotografija ali opis.

With scientists around the world, I've been looking at the 99 percent of the ocean

Z znanstveniki po svetu spremljam 99 odstotkov oceana,

that is open to fishing -- and mining, and drilling, and dumping, and whatever --

ki je odprt za ribolov, rudarstvo, vrtanje, odlaganje in ostalo,

to search out hope spots,

da bi našli točke upanja

and try to find ways to give them and us a secure future.

in poskusili najti načine kako dati njim in nam gotovo prihodnost.

Such as the Arctic --

Vzemimo Arktiko --

we have one chance, right now, to get it right.

prav zdaj imamo možnost, da jo obvarujemo.

Or the Antarctic, where the continent is protected,

Ali pa Antarktiko, kjer je kopno zaščiteno,

but the surrounding ocean is being stripped of its krill, whales and fish.

medtem pa iz okoliškega oceana vlečemo rakce, kite in ribe.

Sargasso Sea's three million square miles of floating forest

10,3 milijona kvadratnih kilometrov plavajočega gozda v Sargaškem morju

is being gathered up to feed cows.

pobirajo za krmo govedi.

97 percent of the land in the Galapagos Islands is protected,

97 odstotkov kopnega na Galapaškem otočju je zaščitenega,

but the adjacent sea is being ravaged by fishing.

vendar okoliško morje pustošijo z ribolovom.

It's true too in Argentina

Tako je tudi v Argentini,

on the Patagonian shelf, which is now in serious trouble.

na Patagonski polici, ki je danes v resnih težavah.

The high seas, where whales, tuna and dolphins travel --

Odprto morje, kjer potujejo kiti, tuni in delfini --

the largest, least protected, ecosystem on Earth,

največji in najmanj zaščiten ekosistem na Zemlji,

filled with luminous creatures,

poln svetlečih bitij,

living in dark waters that average two miles deep.

ki živijo v temnih več kilometrov globokih vodah.

They flash, and sparkle, and glow

Bliskajo in iskrijo se, sevajo

with their own living light.

svojo lastno živo svetlobo.

There are still places in the sea as pristine as I knew as a child.

Še vedno so deli morja, ki so tako prvinski kot sem jih poznala v otroštvu.

The next 10 years may be the most important,

Naslednjih 10 let je morda najpomembnejših,

and the next 10,000 years the best chance our species will have

naslednjih 10.000 pa najboljša priložnost za našo vrsto,

to protect what remains of the natural systems that give us life.

da zaščitimo, kar je ostalo od naravnega sistema, ki nam daje življenje.

To cope with climate change, we need new ways to generate power.

Za spopad s podnebnimi spremembami potrebujemo nove načine pridobivanja energije.

We need new ways, better ways, to cope with poverty, wars and disease.

Potrebujemo nove, boljše načine za spopad z revščino, vojnami in boleznimi.

We need many things to keep and maintain the world as a better place.

Potrebujemo veliko stvari za ohranitev in vzdrževanje boljšega sveta.

But, nothing else will matter

Vendar nič več ne bo pomembno,

if we fail to protect the ocean.

če ne zaščitimo oceanov.

Our fate and the ocean's are one.

Naša usoda in usoda oceanov je eno.

We need to do for the ocean what Al Gore did for the skies above.

Za oceane moramo storiti kar je Al Gore storil za nebo.

A global plan of action

Globalni akcijski načrt

with a world conservation union, the IUCN,

z IUCN - Svetovno zvezo za zaščito,

is underway to protect biodiversity,

je v teku z namenom zaščite biološke raznolikosti,

to mitigate and recover from the impacts of climate change,

ublažitve in okrevanja od vplivov podnebnih sprememb.

on the high seas and in coastal areas,

Na odprtem morju in na obalnih področjih,

wherever we can identify critical places.

kjerkoli najdemo kritična mesta,

New technologies are needed to map, photograph and explore

potrebujemo nove tehnologije za označbo, fotografiranje in raziskovanje

the 95 percent of the ocean that we have yet to see.

95 odstotkov oceana, ki ga še moramo spoznati.

The goal is to protect biodiversity,

Cilj je zaščititi biološko raznovrstnost,

to provide stability and resilience.

priskrbeti stabilnost in odpornost.

We need deep-diving subs,

Potrebujemo podmornice za globoke potope,

new technologies to explore the ocean.

nove tehnologije za raziskovanje oceanov.

We need, maybe, an expedition --

Mogoče potrebujemo odpravo --

a TED at sea --

TED na morju,

that could help figure out the next steps.

ki bi lahko pomagala dognati naslednje korake.

And so, I suppose you want to know what my wish is.

In tako predvidevam, želite vedeti kaj je moja želja.

I wish you would use all means at your disposal --

Želim, da uporabite vse razpoložljive načine --

films, expeditions, the web, new submarines --

filme, odprave, splet, podmornice --

and campaign to ignite public support

kampanjo, ki bo zanetila podporo v javnosti

for a global network of marine protected areas --

za globalno mrežo morskih zaščitenih območij,

hope spots large enough to save and restore the ocean,

točk upanja, dovolj velikih za ohranitev in okravanje oceanov,

the blue heart of the planet.

modrega srca našega planeta.

How much?

Koliko?

Some say 10 percent, some say 30 percent.

Nekateri pravijo 10 odstotkov, drugi 30.

You decide: how much of your heart do you want to protect?

Sami odločite, koliko vašega srca želite zaščititi.

Whatever it is,

Ne glede na to koliko to dejansko je,

a fraction of one percent is not enough.

del enega odstotka ni dovolj.

My wish is a big wish,

Moja želja je velika,

but if we can make it happen, it can truly change the world,

a če nam jo uspe uresničiti, lahko resnično spremeni svet

and help ensure the survival

in pomaga zagotoviti preživetje

of what actually -- as it turns out -- is my favorite species;

meni pravzaprav najljubši vrsti,

that would be us.

nam.

For the children of today,

Za današnje otroke,

for tomorrow's child:

za jutrišnje otroke,

as never again, now is the time.

bolj kot kdajkoli, zdaj je pravi čas.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.
