00:06coastal waters changed color as a result of chemicals released in a fish factory's discharge.
00:11Environmental activists link this pollution with declining marine life and growing pressure on a

00:23Alongside other conservationists in Gunjur, he's planting native trees, protecting sea turtles,
00:29and collecting data on fish stocks and water quality. The goal? To restore an ecosystem that
00:35supports wildlife, fisheries and entire communities. Who better to protect an ecosystem than the people
00:42who have lived here for generations?
