SOUNDBITE (English) Jesse Ausubel, The Alfred Sloan Foundation, co-founder of the Census: ++OVERLAID BY WIDE SHOTS OF NEWS CONFERENCE++ "We live in a world of very rapid change, of increasing illumination, increasing sound in the oceans, tremendous removals of sea life, acidification, changes in temperature and currents. We want to monitor and evaluate the effects of these and other activities. We can't do any of these in the absence of base lines. And so we hope what the census has done is create the first baseline, and create a framework into which it's easy to add, for example more information about marine plants or other newly discovered animals." CENSUS OF MARINE LIFE VNR - AP CLIENTS ONLY Unknown Location, Recent 7. Various of underwater shots showing varied marine life STORYLINE: An international effort to create a Census of Marine Life was completed on Monday with maps and three books, increasing the number of counted and validated species to 201,206. A decade ago the question of how many species are out there couldn't be answered and would have led to a lot of arguments among scientists. Some species were counted several or even dozens of times, said Jesse Ausubel of the Alfred Sloan Foundation, the co-founder of the effort that involved 2,700 scientists. The 650 (m) million US dollar project got money and help from more than 600 groups, including various governments, private foundations, corporations, non-profits, universities, and even five high schools. The Sloan foundation is the founding sponsor, contributing 75 (m) million US dollars. "We think that there are probably about 250,000 known species in the oceans, but we think that there are probably about a million or more in total, and that doesn't include the microbes," said Dr. Paul Snelgrove, leader of the Census of Marine Life. "We've very much undersampled the diversity of the oceans and we have a lot more work to do to really enumerate what's out there," said Snelgove, speaking to AP Television at the Sealife London Aquarium. But what scientists learned was more than a number or a count. It was a sense of how closely life connects from one place to another and one species to another, Ausubel said. Speaking at a news conference at the Royal Institution of Great Britain Ian Poiner, Chairman of the Census Steering Committee, described how hundreds of scientists from over 80 countries worked together in the international effort to collect new information as well as consolidate existing information. "We can make fundamental and major comments about ocean life past and ocean life present. And we can now use that knowledge to better forecast about ocean life into the future," Poiner said. The census outlines the many, often bizarre and wonderful creatures spread across the world's oceans, as well as highlights the vast distances covered by migratory species. "We hope what the census has done is create the first baseline, and create a framework into which it's easy to add for example more information about marine plants or other newly discovered animals," said Ausubel at the news conference on Monday. The census found another more basic connection in the genetic blueprint of life. Just as chimpanzees and humans share more than 95 percent of their DNA, the species of the oceans have most of their DNA in common, too.

The Terra orbiter will be the most sophisticated instrument ever launched to study the Earth. After the humiliating loss of its Mars Lander probe, NASA breathed a sigh of relief on Saturday with the successful launch of a new orbiter spacecraft designed to study the Earth's atmosphere. The one-point-three (b) billion dollar mission was on hold for two days after a software problem shut the launch of NASA's Earth-scanning satellite down less than a minute before takeoff. Roughly the size of a small school bus, the Terra spacecraft carries a payload of five state-of-the-art sensors that will study the interactions among the Earth's atmosphere, lands, oceans, life and radiant energy. The sensors on Terra will not actively scan the surface, but rather they will work much like a camera. Sunlight reflected from the Earth will pass through the apertures of Terra's sensors and be focused onto specially designed detectors, sensitive to heat and light. The information from these sensors will then be transmitted back to Earth and processed by computers into images scientists can interpret. The Terra mission is expected to last 6 years and will be followed by successively more sophisticated generations of spacecraft. The Terra spacecraft is designed to scan the Earth with five sophisticated instruments to study interactions between the land, atmosphere, ocean and biosphere. Japan and Canada supplied two of the instruments. Some key software for the satellite was written by University of Montana researchers, who were in California for the launch. The Terra launch was billed as the opening act of a NASA double feature - launches on the West and East coasts on the same day. But the space agency had to postpone the scheduled launch of the shuttle Discovery because of fuel line trouble.

THIS YEAR SAW A RECORD LOSS OF SEA ICE IN APRIL ACROSS THE ARCTIC AND THIS IS WHERE THAT ICE COMES TO DIE, BUT THE STORY OF ICE LOSS IS MORE THA JUST WARMING AIR.\nWE ARE IN THE FRAM STRAIT, FAR NORTH FROM THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. \nMattias Cape, PhD / Biological Oceanographer: "So we are choosing this area because this is an area where we have this warm water meeting the ice edge."\nBIOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHER MATTIAS CAPE IS ONE OF A SMALL GROUP OF SCIENTISTS HEADED BY POLAR PHYSICIST TILL WAGNER. THE WARM WATER THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE FAST MOVING GULF STREAM, ORIGINATING IN THE GULF OF MEXICO.\nTill Wagner, PhD / Polar Physicist, UNC Wilmington: "This warm water is at the surface as it comes up and then it drops under the ice as it goes into the arctic ocean and that layer that is under the ice, that has been coming up closer to the surface and melting the ice from underneath."\nWE KNOW THE OCEANS ARE TAKING THE BRUNT OF GLOBAL WARMING WE HAVE CAUSED, BUT THE TEAM WANTS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE WAY THE ICE AND WATER ARE INTERACTING AFFECTS OUR CHANGING WORLD.\nTill Wagner, PhD / Polar Physicist, UNC Wilmington: "What we are trying to do is find ice that is representative of the area."\nAND ICE THAT DOESN'T RISK BREAKING APART UNDER OUR FEET. WITH A POLAR BEAR GUARD ON WATCH, THE TEAM WORKS ON THE ICE FLOW DAY AFTER DAY. \nArwa Damon: "There are so many challenges when it comes to really understanding our planet's changing climate. It's a bit like trying to put together a puzzle whose pieces are constantly changing, changing faster than the science and the studies can keep up with."\nTHE TEAM DRILLS THROUGH THE ICE TO MEASURE THE THICKNESS. \nTill Wagner, PhD / Polar Physicist, UNC Wilmington: "So, we are starting to get a fairly good idea and it has definitely thinned. This area as well, it has basically thinned everywhere."\nEXTRACTING ICE CORES THAT HOLD FROZEN CLUES…\nTill Wagner, PhD / Polar Physicist, UNC Wilmington: "Oh wow look at this beautiful.

MELTED ICE CORE SAMPLES COME TO LIFE UNDER THE MICROSCOPE… A KALEIDOSCOPE OF ALGAE AND PHYTOPLANKTON.\nMattias Cape, PhD / Biological Oceanographer: "So, these sea ice algae and phytoplankton in general are tremendously important for carbon drawdown, they photosynthesize and take in carbon dioxide."\nPHYTOPLANKTON DON'T JUST STORE CARBON DIOXIDE, THEY JUMP START THE CYCLE OF LIFE… FEEDING ON THE PHYTOPLANKTON UNDER THE ICE ARE ZOOPLANKTON. WHICH IN TURN FEED SMALL FISH, FEEDING THE BIGGER FISH, ALL THE WAY UP THE FOOD CHAIN INCLUDING US.\nTill Wagner, PhD / Polar Physicist, UNC Wilmington: "Exciting. Yeah, there's a lot there and this is very different than what we've seen so far actually in terms of diversity of things that are in there."\nINITIAL DATA FROM HUNDREDS OF SAMPLES CONFIRM THE TEAM'S EXPECTATIONS. PLANKTON, THAT CRITICAL SOURCE OF OCEAN FOOD CONCENTRATES WHERE THE FRESHLY MELTED ICE IS. \nTill Wagner, PhD / Polar Physicist, UNC Wilmington: "This is crazy how strong 14mg per liter... really strong bloom." \nMattias Cape, PhD / Biological Oceanographer: "Located right at the ice edge. I mean we did have sea ice around." \n[...]\nINCREASING ICE MELT IS WEARING DOWN THE CYCLE OF LIFE HERE. AND UNDERMINIG NATURE'S CARBON STORAGE SYSTEM. AND THAT IS BAD NEWS FOR ALL OF US. \nArwa Damon, The Arctic: "These waters in this region are among the most productive when it comes to the building blocks of ocean life."\n\nINCREASED MELTING OF GLACIAL AND LAND ICE, FROM ABOVE AND FROM BELOW, HAVE RECENTLY LED TO DOUBLING PREVIOUS PROJECTIONS OF SEA LEVEL RISE TO TWO METERS AROUND THE WORLD BY THE END OF THIS CENTURY.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Achim Steiner, Director-General of The World Conservation Union (UICN): ''That the state of deterioration of the natural environment, whether it affects our water resources, our climate, our forest resources, or our species diversity in general, is of such concern that people need to take it much more seriously. We are losing a great deal every day and in part we will never be able to replace it and if we want to restore forests, rivers and eco-systems it will cost us a great deal more in the future.'' 5.

Various of Iberian lynx Bangkok, Thailand - November 2004 10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Eduardo Goncalves, Iberian Lynx expert: ''It's ironic that so many European governments and the European Union does like to tell poorer countries in the less developed world that you must preserve your habitats you must preserve your endangered species. And here we have got the most endangered big cat in the world, and its here in western Europe, in developed Europe. I think its going to be very much harder to try and persuade other countries to preserve their habitats and endangered species if we are not taking care of our own.'' 11. Various of construction STORYLINE: The planet was in a far worse state than most people realised, according to many of the six-thousand scientists and delegates who attended the third World Conservation Congress, which closed in Bangkok on Thursday. Achim Steiner, Director-General of The World Conservation Union (IUCN) said the pace of deterioration of the natural environment was "of such concern that people need to take it much more seriously." Thousands of government officials, scientists, business representatives and environmentalists attended the group's World Conservation Congress, which is held every four years. During the summit The World Conservation Union warned that more than 15,500 animal and plant species faced extinction, mainly because of exploitation and habitat destruction by humans. Leading conservationists said plants, animals, forests and ocean life were rapidly disappearing with sharks, turtles and big cats in danger of extinction. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) estimates that humans are consuming or destroying up to three times the amount of the earth's available resources every year. The WWF, Bio-regional (British non-government organisation) and a private property developer, Pelicano of Portugal, used the conference to launch a multi-million dollar plan aimed at stabilising and preserving some of the world's declining bio-diversity systems. Seven prototype 'eco-friendly cities' with up to 50,000 sustainable houses, shops, hotels, restaurants and even golf courses will be built across Europe. The first such project was launched earlier this year in Portugal with construction starting in 2005. The unique and unlikely partnership with a private property developer to develop the 'One Planet Living' project will see a 'green tax' levy on property sold to help fund conservation projects. But despite such conservation efforts in Europe, the region is still in danger of losing a rare species of big cat to extinction. The IUCN red list of threatened species has confirmed that the Iberian Lynx, found only in southern Europe, is likely to become the first big cat to become extinct since the Sabre Tooth Tiger of pre-historic times. Eduardo Goncalves, an Iberian Lynx expert said it is "ironic" that European governments and the European Union criticise the less developed world for not preserving their habitats while Europe has "the most endangered big cat in the world." On Wednesday, the IUCN elected a former South African Cabinet minister to be its president for the next four years.

I mean, how do you how else do you describe it but it was very eye opening to see this array of a mixture of completely dead coral, bleached coral and healthy coral so I saw hope, but I also saw a tough situation and I can see what heat stress really does to these animals. They're sensitive and I witnessed it. It was It was humbling </p>\n<p></p>\n<p><pi>17:07:28;08 Derek: </pi>Is there still hope?</p>\n<p><pi>17:07:29;16 Dr. Andrew Baker: </pi>Absolutely. There's still hope, you know, the water conditions are actually cooling down somewhat. And on a day like this, we have some overcast conditions that all helps because it decreases the amount of heat stress building up on the reef.//17:07:42;05 And I think as far as this bleaching front going, we hope that it doesn't continue to increase and move northwards. But the next few weeks are going to really tell that story.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><pi>LOCATION MAP GRAPHIC 2</pi></p>\n<p>NEXT --- WE HEADED OVER A LITTLE CLOSER TO MIAMI TO SEE THE IMPACT ON THE REEF THERE</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>YOU MAY BE THINKING --WHY DOES THE CORAL REEF MATTER SO MUCH TO US? </p>\n<p></p>\n<p><pi>19509685 V/O UNDERWATER OF FISH AND LOBSTERS ETC</pi></p>\n<p><pi>+KEYABLE TEXT: INTERCONNECTED ECOSYSTEM</pi></p>\n<p>WELL, THEY ARE PART OF AN INTERCONNECTED ECOSYSTEM -- IT ACTS AS A HABITAT FOR <pi>ALL </pi>MARINE WILDLIFE -- SO ANY IMPACT ON THE CORAL WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE ENTIRE WATER ECOSYSTEM </p>\n<p></p>\n<p><pi>UNDERWATER V/O</pi></p>\n<p><pi>Backtime from 19510405 @ 19:11:31 from third line>> </pi>"<pi>Scientists" backwards to cover through first lines "And something a lot of people..."</pi></p>\n<p>AND SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT REALIZE -- IT'S NOT JUST OCEAN LIFE THAT RELIES ON OUR CORAL REEFS BEING HEALTHY. </p>\n<p></p>\n<p>THEY ARE MOTHER NATURE'S NATURAL BARRIERS AGAINST HURRICANES AND STORM SURGE</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>AND ON THIS SECOND DIVE....THERE WAS OBVIOUS RELIEF FELT BY THESE SCIENTISTS</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><pi>19509685 @17:29:58;19 </pi></p>\n<p>Derek: That was completely different.</p>\n<p><pi>19509685 @17:30:02 Dr Liv Williamson: </pi>a lot better.</p>\n<p><pi>19509685 @17:30:04;01 Derek: </pi>If you were happy, I was happy. </p>\n<p>I could see it in your eyes.
