00:00Today, Brooke, I want to show you something that I've been passionate about my whole life

00:06and something that's a really important conservation tool for the area.

00:10What do you think all of this stuff is for?

00:11It's for fishing!

00:12It is indeed.

00:13I love fishing.

00:17So how do you conserve the fish with fishing?

00:20Well, first of all, we have to find the fish.

00:23Then we have to catch them, which is what all this tackle is for.

00:26Once we have the fish on board, we put them in a water-filled container that we call the

00:29GT Jacuzzi.

00:32And he's in there, he's able to breathe, not stressed out.

00:35And then we put the tag in, we take a measurement, and then we put the fish back.

00:39So why do we tag all these fish?

00:41Well, very good question, Brooke.

00:43So there's a couple of reasons.

00:44We're basically building up a scientific database, and the Ocean Research Institute in Durban

00:50runs this whole project.

00:51And they've been doing so for almost 30 years now.

00:53There's hundreds of fishermen in Southern Africa who participate in this citizen science

00:58program.

00:59And they've tagged over 350,000 fish.

01:01Wow, that's incredible.

01:02And had as many as 35,000 recaptures.

01:05So there's a huge amount of data that scientists are then able to use to help them understand

01:10fish species better.

01:11So how many of these fish have you and your team caught?

01:14Well, so far, Brooke, we've tagged 497 fish.

01:18Wow, that's a lot of fish.

01:20It is indeed.

01:21So with your help today, hopefully we'll get to 500.

01:23Oh, I can't wait.

01:24I'll definitely help you with that.

01:25Should we go and give it a go?

01:26Okay, let's do it.

01:27Let's get going.

01:28Okay, let's go for a fish, Brooke.

01:29Thank you.

01:30We're on.
