love with marine debris for me trash can
be treasure every time they go to the
beach and see a piece of litter I think
about it as a lone traveler long distant
traveler as a salty messenger full of
information who can take me one step
forward to understand and to love or
beautiful blue planet every single piece
of marine debris can be the starting
point of a new discovery collaboration
or relationship between two human beings
no words can be built in the ocean
that’s why part of the litter that we
have in the southwest coast of UK come
from far far away floating with the
Mexican Gulf Stream as far as from
America America legend has it that
crystal Christopher Columbus discoveries
of America started with a sea bean it
was worship in the lantic coast of
Europe a sec tease of the day claimed
the new seaweed see see being will
travel so far and reckon they were shed
by fabulous plants growing deep beneath
the waves anyhow they sail west to try
to find a new route to the Indies and
they arrived on an exploring continent
America those sailors brought back
different things like tomatoes cones or
chocolate the sea has always been a good
provider for civilizations actually
simple you can take the shipwrecks all
that goods lots of see being wash up in
your bitches lost or stolen because one
day Sangram came with a new idea what if
we devise the system lighting fake fires
on the coast by then the
first professional is margaret was born
it changed drastically the life of these
people on the coast yes because your
ten years ago the MSC napoli a ship
container Sankey Branscombe devon and it
changed like Jack’s life he got a new
motor bike and the interesting thing was
his opinion he said it was a strip drag
the bikes were wash up I didn’t steal it
I say witches that’s the law that’s the
law true for 40 sometimes the sea grant
us with written messages words looking
to be found for people who are looking
for love in 1956 beacon was a lonely
sailor in Sweden he wanted to find love
he wanted to get married in 25 a wine so
he wrote a simple message from someone
beautiful and far away cork it inside
the viral and toss it overboard he was
surprised then two years later he
received a message from paulina a young
woman living in Sicily island in Italy
it says I’m not beautiful by found some
miracles that this message travels so
far and for so long to come to my hands
I thought I how to send you an answer
back they starting to write each other
for one year and after that beacon moved
from Sweden to eataly to marry Polina
his long-distance love in occasionally
these salty messages carry terrible news
from human beings who are risking their
life as C looking for safety these life
jackets I recall a wake-up call they
call attention to our most beautiful
feelings compassion generosity and
kindness they remind us that we are
capable to transform their fears into
hope every time every day at the bit is
different it’s a surprise that’s why I
love to be a bitch combat I never know
what I going to find and these salty
messengers work as connectors of a huge
community of bits converse all around
the world we are thousands of people who
post the pictures of the findings are
their locations or social media creating
a huge amount of data that can be used
for something else like understanding
the ocean currents or pollution we learn
a lot about each other about our
culture’s about our languages a lot of
families also about geography and
history once I received a message from a
family from Plymouth USA invited me to
come over for the weekend to have a
barbecue on the beach with them just
coming in Mariana just just pop in it
was a magic moment when both parts
realize that a simple piece of plastic
reconnected the Twin Cities about sides
of the Atlantic I felt like if the
original pilgrims were sailing again in
the future on internet quite often we
don’t know where the leader come from or
2015 in June this space rocket was
launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida
few minutes later exploding the air
fall into the sea in November the same
gia was found warship in tresckow island
in Cornwall here it only took six months
suddenly we realized that the marine
there is no coming only from the sea by
fall from the space the space is full of
satellites who are working one of the
jobs is to suit and research the oceans
when the malaysian flight was lost at
sea some of the satellites were tracking
the signal of the airplane thrown up
there and also they were trying to find
the airplane in the surface of the sea
the first pieces of marine debris were
found months later quite far away in the
Reunion Island Indian Ocean but the bulk
of the airplane has never never been
found yet this open a new door for the
scientists and engineers who are working
in earth observation from the satellites
they have to improve their tools are the
performance of these machines for the
next time when airplane falls into the
industry they are able to find it and
floating from the past to the future in
this journey we have met explorers
sailors cartographers traders smugglers
journalists lawyers social media users
pilgrims engineers scientists flown all
around the world we have talked about
feelings love fear compassion and hope
erosion is an endless sources
inspiration no words can be built to
stop it I invite you today to use that
image of openness to connect to inspire
to collaborate to work all together with
another people in other side of the
world to me to make
for this planet a better place to live
every time that you go to the beach and
see a piece of litter think about it as
a long distant traveler as a salty
messenger full of information which can
take you when is that forward to
understand and love or beautiful blue
planet and please remember the ocean
unites people thank you [Applause]
