It’s really amazing seeing people from all walks of life come together to protect the ecosystem. I mean we’ve got artists, fishermen, reporters, quarry workers, and marines.
9:50 you could hear Paolo's hands being so calloused from years working in the ocean. A lifetime of hard work in a glimpse. Hats off to you sir for giving our oceans a chance!
This is the most genius idea of maritime conservation I have seen in my lifetime. So simple yet beautiful and most likely extremely effective. EU should fund thousands of these to protect our waters from international (often criminal) operators robbing our seas.
Great initiative..... Hope some people would do the same over India beach areas and sea... India need to do something immediately about the ocean pollution and excessive trawling
Just wish more people had his passion to protect this beautiful world and all the critters that inhabit it so we can all live and thrive in peace 🙋♂️✌️
This is happening in the US too. I live on the coast of NC and both in and off shore trawling is destroying all the aquatic life. It’s truly depressing!
Greed can just as easily be the doom of all, but love and compassion can be just as powerful. Never give up fighting for the innocent lives without a voice! May the world heal through all the devastation. ❤🩹
Thanks Paolo, and everyone involved in this awesome initiative! It was beautiful ❤I really hope we could do something similar in Spain. Our sea is in great danger and we MUST protect it at all cost. If you eat fish, try to buy it from those brands that use sustainable practices. (And it's never too late to give a try to a veggy diet! 🥑)
What a fantastic idea! That was such an inspiring story. This could definitely be implemented at a governmental level across all countries. While the marble art might not be practical everywhere, we already use concrete blocks to combat coastal erosion-so why not apply this concept to a 3km stretch of coastline as well?
By the way to put it in perspective the 4:05 mentioned 370 Mio tons are 1% (!) of all anthropogenic emissions acc to the 37 b in 2022 published by the global carbon project
Wow this is so amazing 👏❤ What a great and wonderful idea❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ I love it so much and I love your work so much 🙏 thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏
I am from Greece , i buy fish form fishrman and sell them in open markets. I am 29 years old , doing this job after my father adn and grandfather.In the last 10 years, at the very least , the number of fish caught as welll as the size and quality is constantly decreasing. This year 2024 i saw the breaking point , there are simple no fish , the sea is empty , the ships come from 1-2 days of fishing with almost nothing . Something has to change NOW. The Med is close to dying.
Interesting spin on the Greenpeace strategy, which was to just throw really big rocks in the ocean to snag the nets. As a geologist, I love rocks. But as an artist and I can see that sculptures might have wider appeal! Have they created sculpture of Cousteau yet? Can you pay to have your own sculpture dropped in the area?
How can the government allow net dragging trawlers into protected areas? Italy has a coast guard with ships and planes, in america that is how the Bering Sea is protected from illegal fishing, poaching
It's infuriating, but I suspect people are being paid off to look the other way. I assume that's why they're making such a big production out of this project, to bring enough public attention to force the government to do their job...
So we CAN replicate this all over the world, right? Any biodiversity hotspot or even something like deep sea coral reefs could be protected by this measure. Especially if it's in a conservation area where you're not supposed to be doing it anyway.
It's ironic that you are using one of the most polluting materials, concrete, burning tons of fossil fuels in the movement and creations. The idea is sound and you cant expect to buy marble and make everyone one art, but why not use othe stones? Granite, smaller chuncks that are waste from the quarries and the sculpture waste in pyramid type piles using forms or nets from natural biodegradable hemp roprs? These would still ruin nets, protect and enhance the sea floor biodiversity
I think part of the tactic was that being showy would garner more attention for the issue. People dropping marble statues in the ocean gets headlines (and possibly tourism). People dropping rocks in the ocean doesn't have the same effect...
Redemption. This is a much more ethical project to fund than the private ranch that was destroyed by centuries of the same family wearing down the earth for private profit. Keep finding and supporting ethical projects on public land. Let the wealthy land owners clean up their own mess and pay the consequences.
Would like to know who these trawlers supply? Are these supplying supermarket brands? Or do these trawlers supply fish markets in general? It would be nice to know if we could boycott brands or tell fish product companies what their trawlers are doing, if that's at all possible. Hope the scheme is taken up in more places. If it can work here, there are many more places that are seeing foreign fishing boats fishing their waters illegally.
I celebrate the concept (&habitat), but something is very broken if the governments in the Med aren't enforcing bans, confiscating ships, leveling massive fines. We need to start jailing owners and executives involved in illegal "fishing" (criminal eco-crime), not just making it inconvenient.
Its a bit performative, sinking 5 blocks close by, where nobody was trawling and where its easy to avoid. Maybe instead sink 5 thousand smaller ones randomly all over the actual trawling grounds?
I like the basic idea of stopping the ships and leveraging the power of art, but surely we can use waste material and create art with the shape we lay them down so it forms a dramatic shape from drone shots. Or there has to be a lot of scupltures being taken down around the world, random cement and metal stuff being replaced. Redirect waste streams for the same general intention. Mining a bunch of marble is not a good model to follow to scale up for general application, that is missing much of the point, allowing norms of industrial civilization to cloud the design. Mining sucks, we should do less of it, not more. There are plenty of cement structures being demolished that could form the barrier. The main thing is to stop the nets as quickly and cheaply as possible. A bunch of jagged cement ebar chunks would be a beautiful symbol of using pieces of the world-devouring machine to help protect nature from the machine. The beast is inherently inefficient, it pours off waste. The problem contains the solution is a nice permaculture saying. Perhaps there are junked industrial fishing boats that could be cheaply bought and sunk to form this barrier, fight them with the tools of their trade.
them being marble and actually being statues is one of their main ideas to get support. throwing sunk ships or random blocks of concrete into the sea doesnt exactly inspire the masses and make a beautiful landscape. they also wouldnt be as functional as some of these are designed to be
Good Dog do we need maritime zones/areas/highways at sea where no one except research scientists are allowed to go. The life will be allowed to properly live there and split out in to the rest of the ocean where fishing is allowed. But licensed. Properly.
kind of ironic that a video about using beauty to help an ecosystem would use AI art of poseidon. laughable, actually. you know you can just _not_ do that, right? you didn't need that picture there, it elevates nothing, so why are you shoving AI slop into your videos? at the very least make it harder to tell that it's AI. that asymmetrical trident is not gonna fool anyone.

100% that is the way to turn things around world wide.
Less corporate greed and more people like this. This channel is one of the few bright spots, always enjoy your uploads.

People like Paulo are the ones who catalyse real change! Great iniaitve and well done Planet Wild for supporting!

It is amazing how art can create such an impact in conservation and protection of such a beautiful ecosystem

I'm a chick forest technician from Montreal, unite good people of the world, re-wilding works! Bon weekend from French Canada 🇨🇦! ❤
bravo to every single one involved 👏

Be active and organize something in the US. :)

What an awesome initiative. That fisherman has my upmost respect! A true idol when it comes to battling the exploiting of our planet!
Greed can just as easily be the doom of all, but love and compassion can be just as powerful. Never give up fighting for the innocent lives without a voice! May the world heal through all the devastation. ❤🩹
Very nice. One more thing which could help fight these trawlers is to never buy trawled fish.
This gentleman is a gem. I'm also adding Talamone to my travel goals. Would love to dive there.
Trawling fishing is like to use a renaissance painting to start a cooking fire
What an amazing idea. Great to see local communities working to project their ecosystems for a sustainable future
Wonderful! Just wonderful! 💚
So cleaver ! So full of hope and joy ! We love you Paolo 🥰
And we love you Planet Wild 😍
Paolo is a Hero!! And you guys are too!
A beautiful video to wake up to. Thanks for showing us how innovation works to make the world better

This is Awesome!
Thank you for what you’re doing to help our planet recover and educate people!!!!
Amazing! So proud to contribute to something so beautiful ❤
Wunderschön und effektiv!! 😍🐟 fühlt sich so gut an, einen Teil dazu beizutragen! 💚
This video is perfectly accurate, congrats to PlanetWild, GoodJob👍🏻
Great work, just doubled my donations:)
Thank you for your work and supporting great initiatives ❤ looking forward for new interesting projects
What a great Project! ❤
Just amazing guys! Keep the missions going!
I too wept there's always HOPE Planet Wild-est
Paolo is the Davinci of the sea.
Most amazing character right there 🙏
What a cool project. Keep up the great work!
I am happy I can contribute in my little way. The world is not in a good place and these projects are balm every month.

I Love this!!! thanks for your work. working with nature not against her
Amazing initiative
Great work!

WOW Thank you
it's truly sad how little some people care about nature
Wow this is so amazing 👏❤ What a great and wonderful idea❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ I love it so much and I love your work so much 🙏 thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏
The bottom trollers must be arrested and charged with their crimes. The general public deserves justice!!

Can you do a video on enhanced rock weathering? The topic needs some more attention imo :D
Good for you share the video
What s great man! excellent vid
I wish you had explained how the sea grass can be regenerated where it was destroyed. How does it grow?
How can the government allow net dragging trawlers into protected areas? Italy has a coast guard with ships and planes, in america that is how the Bering Sea is protected from illegal fishing, poaching
exactly, where is the coast guard on all of this ?
It's infuriating, but I suspect people are being paid off to look the other way. I assume that's why they're making such a big production out of this project, to bring enough public attention to force the government to do their job...
Thats really cool 👍
good
❤❤❤
Sea shepheard was the first that got me into this. Turns out the best way to protect the oceans is to stop eating it.
Shouldn't it be questioned why the industrial fisheries are fishing in a overfished area, instead of just putting obstacles in the water.
❤
Why are some on them so low and smooth? Like the nets could slide over? I would have carved mine like jagged snag-magnets
the nets are heavily weighted, theres no way they’re sliding over anything
So we CAN replicate this all over the world, right? Any biodiversity hotspot or even something like deep sea coral reefs could be protected by this measure. Especially if it's in a conservation area where you're not supposed to be doing it anyway.

As much as you're right, we can't be moral purists and save the ecosystem at the same time. They used what they could.
I think part of the tactic was that being showy would garner more attention for the issue. People dropping marble statues in the ocean gets headlines (and possibly tourism). People dropping rocks in the ocean doesn't have the same effect...

Shouldn't it be the army or the police work to prevent this illegal activities ?

The ones responsible for the trawling are monstrosities. Nothing else.

Trawling should be illegal
Dieses Video ist besser als jedes Mittel gegen Traurigkeit. Jetzt habe ich immer eine Dosis Lachen zur Hand🔥
Activists rule, corporations drool.

Yess we need more radicalism
there is no such thing as "sustainable" fishing anymore (if it ever was)
Schönes Video, aber die Erwähnung des Russen Dostojewski am Ende ruiniert alles. Gibt es niemanden sonst, den man zitieren könnte? 🤦♂
