Okeani su se promenili tokom naših života, a to je prikazano kroz smanjenje prosečnih veličina riba. Danijel Poli nam u ovom govoru, održanom u Mission Blue, pokazuje da svaki put kada se promeni nivo dna mora, zovemo to novim "normalnim" stanjem. Kada ćemo to prestati da radimo?

A to je pomeranje dna mora.
00:21
And because the ideaидеја can be explainedобјаснио је in one minuteминута,

On je boravio ovde, 1835.
00:38
And you'dти би think he was chasingЦхасинг fincheszebe,

Pomislili biste da je došao da juri zebe,
00:40
but he wasn'tније.
10

2000
ali zapravo nije.
00:42
He was actuallyзаправо collectingприкупљање fishриба.
11
30000
2000
On je ovde sakupljao ribe.
00:44
And he describedописани one of them
12
32000
2000
Jednu od njih je opisao
00:46
as very "commonзаједнички."
13

2000
kao veoma učestalu vrstu.
00:48
This was the sailfinsailfin grouperpustinjaku.

Ta riba je škarpina zrakoperka.

A bigвелики fisheryRibarnica. was runтрцати on it
15

2000
Mnogi su lovili ovde zbog ove ribe
00:52
untilсве док the '80s.
16
40000
3000
sve do osamdesetih.
00:55
Now the fishриба is on the IUCNIUCN RedCrveni ListLista.
17
43000
3000
Ova riba se nalazi na Crvenoj listi
Međunarodne unije za očuvanje prirode.
00:58
Now this storyприча,
18
46000
2000
Ovu priču
01:00
we have heardслушао it lots of timesпута
19
48000
3000
smo čuli toliko puta
01:03
on GalapagosGalapagos and other placesместа,
20
51000
2000
na Galapagosu i na drugim mestima
01:05
so there is nothing particularпосебно about it.
21
53000
3000
i ona nije ništa posebno.
01:08
But the pointтачка is, we still come to GalapagosGalapagos.
22
56000
3000
Ali u ovom trenutku, mi i dalje posećujemo Galapagos.
01:11
We still think it is pristineчисто.
23
59000
3000
Još uvek smatramo da je to drevno mesto.
01:14
The brochuresброшуре still say
24
62000
3000
I dan danas u brošurama piše
01:17
it is untouchedнетакнута.
25
65000
2000
da je tu potpuno netaknuta priroda.
01:19
So what happensсе дешава here?
26

(Smeh)
01:30
Because I was there in '71,
30
78000
2000
Pošto sam tamo bio 1971. godine
01:32
studyingстудирање a lagoonлагуна in WestZapad AfricaAfrika.
31
80000
2000
proučavajući lagune u zapadnoj Africi.
01:34
I was there because I grewрастао up in EuropeEurope
32
82000
3000
Bio sam tamo jer sam odrastao u Evropi
01:37
and I wanted laterкасније to work in AfricaAfrika.
33
85000
2000
i želeo sam da kasnije radim u Africi.
01:39
And I thought I could blendspoj in.
34
87000
2000
Pomislio sam da bih mogao da se uklopim.
01:41
And I got a bigвелики sunburnopekotina od sunca,
35

2000
Prilično sam izgoreo na suncu
01:43
and I was convincedуверен that I was really not from there.
36
91000
3000
i bio sam sasvim uveren da ne pripadam tamo.
01:46
This was my first sunburnopekotina od sunca.
37
94000
2000
Prvi put sam tada izgoreo na suncu.
01:48
And the lagoonлагуна

as you can see, and a fewнеколико mangrovemanga.

2000
kao što vidite ovde i sa nekoliko mangrova.
01:55
And it had tilapiatilapia
41
103000
2000
Bilo je tu i tilapija
01:57

And the fisheriesribarstvo for this tilapiatilapia

02:10
When I wentотишао there 27 yearsгодине laterкасније,
48
118000
3000
Kada sam se vratio tamo posle 27 godina,
02:13
the fishриба had shrunkse smanjio to halfпола of theirњихова sizeвеличине.
49
121000
3000
ribe su se znatno smanjile, gotovo prepolovile.
02:16
They were maturingsazreva at fiveпет centimeterscm.
50
124000
2000
Sazrevale su sa svega 5 centimetara.
02:18
They had been pushedгурнут geneticallyгенетски.
51
126000
2000
Genetski su bile modifikovane.
02:20
There were still fishesribice.

Još je bilo ribe
02:22
They were still kindкинд of happyсрећан.
53

i svi su bili zadovoljni.
02:24
And the fishриба alsoтакође were happyсрећан to be there.
54
132000
5000
I ribe su bile zadovoljne što su tamo.
02:29
So nothing has changedпромењено,
55
137000
2000
Dakle, ništa se nije promenilo,
02:31
but everything has changedпромењено.
56

You always loseизгубити rareретко animalsЖивотиње.
140
348000
2000
Uvek gubimo retke životinje.
06:02
And thereforeстога they're not perceivedsmatra
141
350000
2000
Zbog toga to ne smatramo
06:04
as a bigвелики lossгубитак.
142
352000
2000
velikim gubitkom.
06:06
Over time,

354000
2000
Tokom vremena
06:08
we concentrateконцентрат on largeвелики animalsЖивотиње,
144
356000
2000
koncentrišemo se na velike životinje,
06:10
and in a seaморе that meansзначи the bigвелики fishриба.
145
358000
2000
u moru su to velike ribe.
06:12
They becomeпостати rarermanje because we fishриба them.
146
360000
3000
One postanu retke jer ih mi pecamo.
06:15
Over time we have a fewнеколико fishриба left
147
363000
2000
Tokom vremena sve je manje riba
06:17
and we think this is the baselineбаселине.
148
365000
3000
i pomislimo da je to bazna linija.
06:20
And the questionпитање is,
149
368000
2000
Pitanje je
06:22
why do people acceptприхватити this?
150
370000
5000
zbog čega ljudi prihvataju ovo?
06:27
Well because they don't know that it was differentразличит.
151
375000
3000
Zato što ne znaju da je ranije bilo drugačije.
06:30
And in factчињеница, lots of people, scientistsнаучници,
152
378000
3000
Zapravo, mnogi ljudi od kojih su neki i naučnici,
06:33
will contestтакмичење that it was really differentразличит.
153
381000
2000
osporavaće da je stvarno bilo drugačije.
06:35
And they will contestтакмичење this
154
383000
2000
Oni će osporavati ovo
06:37
because the evidenceдоказ
155
385000

156
387000
5000
koji su predstavljeni prema ranijem stanju,
06:44
is not in the way
157
392000
3000
nisu predstavljeni
06:47
they would like the evidenceдоказ presentedпредстављен.
158
395000
2000
na način na koji oni misle
da treba da budu predstavljeni.
06:49
For exampleпример,
159
397000
2000
Na primer,
06:51
the anecdoteanegdota that some presentпоклон,
160
399000
2000
anegdota koju neki pričaju jeste
06:53
as CaptainKapetan so-and-sobitanga
161

2000
da je neki kapetan
06:55

162
403000
3000
posmatrao mnogo riba u ovoj oblasti
06:58

163
406000
2000

or is usuallyобично not utilizedискоришћени by fisheryRibarnica. scientistsнаучници,
164
408000
3000
ili ih ne koriste naučnici za proučavanje riba,
07:03
because it's not "scientificнаучно."
165
411000
2000
jer to nije "naučno".
07:05
So you have a situationситуација
166
413000
2000
Time dobijate situaciju
07:07
where people don't know the pastпрошлост,
167
415000
3000
da ljudi nisu upoznati sa prošlošću,
07:10
even thoughипак we liveживи in literateliteraran societiesдруштва,
168
418000
3000
iako živimo u pismenim zajednicama
07:13
because they don't trustповерење
169
421000

jer ne veruju
07:15

170

3000
izvorima iz prošlosti.
07:18
And henceстога, the enormousогроман roleулога
171
426000
3000
To je velika uloga
07:21
that a marinemarinac protectedzaštićeni areaподручје can playигра.
172
429000
2000
koju igra zaštićena pomorska oblast.
07:23
Because with marinemarinac protectedzaštićeni areasобласти,
173
431000
3000
Jer u pomorski zaštićenim oblastima
07:26
we actuallyзаправо recreatestvori the pastпрошлост.
174
434000
4000
ponovo stvaramo prošlost.
07:30
We recreatestvori the pastпрошлост that people cannotне може conceiveosmisle
175
438000
3000
Stvaramo prošlost koju ljudi ne mogu ni da zamisle
07:33
because the baselineбаселине has shiftedпомерено
176
441000

jer se osnova pomerila
07:35

177

2000
i nalazi se veoma nisko.
07:37
That is for people
178
445000
2000
To je za ljude
07:39
who can see a marinemarinac protectedzaštićeni areaподручје
179

07:53
How about the people who can't do that
183
461000
2000
Šta je sa ljudima koji ne mogu to da urade
07:55
because they have no accessприступ --
184
463000
2000
jer nemaju pristup --
07:57
the people in the MidwestMidwest for exampleпример?
185
465000
3000
ljudi sa Srednjeg zapada, na primer?
08:00
There I think

Moguće je
08:02
that the artsуметност and filmфилм
187

ispune ovu prazninu

and simulationсимулација.
189

2000
i simulaciju.
08:08
This is a simulationсимулација of ChesapeakeChesapeake BayZaliv.
190
476000
3000
Ovo je simulacija Česepik zaliva.
08:11
There were grayсива whalesкитови in ChesapeakeChesapeake BayZaliv a long time agoпре --
191
479000
2000
U Česepik zalivu je pre mnogo godina
bilo sivih kitova,
08:13
500 yearsгодине agoпре.
192
481000
2000
pre 500 godina.
08:15
And you will have noticedПриметио that the huesboja and tonestonovi
193
483000
3000
Primetićete da su boje slične onima
08:18
are like "AvatarAvatar."
194
486000
2000
kao u filmu "Avatar".
08:20
(LaughterSmeh)
195
488000
2000
(Smeh)
08:22
And if you think about "AvatarAvatar,"
196
490000
2000
Ako pomislite na taj film,
08:24
if you think of why people were so touchedдодирнуо by it --
197
492000
3000
ako se zapitate zašto su ljudi bili toliko oduševljeni,
08:27
never mindум the PocahontasPocahontas storyприча --
198
495000
4000
bez obzira na priču o Pokahontas,
08:31
why so touchedдодирнуо by the imageryслике?
199
499000
4000
zašto su te slike uticale na nas?
08:35
Because it evokespriziva something
200
503000
3000
Zato što to izaziva nešto u nama,
08:38
that in a senseсмисао has been lostизгубљено.
201
506000
2000
kao osećaj da smo nešto izgubili.

2000
Od svih saveta koji mogu da vam dam,
08:42
it's the only one I will provideпружити,
203
510000
2000
jedan jedini ću podeliti sa vama,
08:44
is for CameronCameron to do "AvatarAvatar IIII" underwaterпод водом.
204
512000
5000
a to je da Kameron snimi "Avatar 2" ispod vode.
