它会渐渐停止生长及繁殖
It will generally not grow. It will generally not reproduce.
然后很可能就这样死去
It is likely to die.
如果你看到毛茸茸的微型藻类
You’ll see these fuzzy microalgae.
整个珊瑚表面突然变得毛茸茸的
The whole surface suddenly become much, much fuzzier to look at.
这就表示珊瑚已经死亡了
That’s an indication that that coral has died.
可以标记那一张吗？
Oh. Can you, uh, mark that one?
珊瑚的白化很难解释
Coral bleaching is very difficult to communicate.
照片上看到美丽的白色珊瑚
You see a picture of a beautiful white reef.
到底是好事还是坏事？
Is that a good or a bad thing?
所以我们必须用不同方式来思考
So, we need to communicate it in a different way.
我在搭飞机的时候看了一部电影 《逐冰之旅》
I was flying on a plane, and I watched a film, Chasing Ice .
讲述的是消失的冰河
That film was about the documentation of the disappearing glaciers.
我突然了解到我们的主题近乎相同
And it suddenly dawned on me that we had almost identical projects.
所以我一下飞机
So, pretty much as soon as I got off that plane,
就联络了导演
I contacted the director.
摄影机每小时拍摄一次
The cameras are shooting every hour,
但我们只呈现每周或隔周的…
but we’re only showing every, you know, week or two…
理查突然寄了一封邮件给我 附件两张照片
Richard sent an e-mail, out of the blue, and he attached two photographs,
（奥洛威斯基 导演）
一张是健康的珊瑚 一张是死掉的珊瑚
one of a healthy coral reef and one of a dead coral reef.
我看到那些照片，脑中突然出现想法
And when I saw those photos, the light bulb immediately went on.
如果可以记录中间改变的过程
It’s like, if you can document that change,
就能以强而有力的方式让大众知道
you can reveal this to the public in a powerful way.
所以我们从一开始就知道 这是我们想投入的事情
We knew from the start there was something we wanted to get involved with.
这些照片选择的标准…
These images were chosen…
我们很早就在讨论缩时摄影相机
We started talking pretty early on about what a time-lapse camera could look like.
但我们忽略了一件事
But we were missing this one piece.
我们需要雨刷系统保持镜片干净
We needed a wiper system or something that would keep the glass clean.
理查和团队想要做水底缩时摄影
When Richard and the team wanted to do underwater time-lapse,
（雷哥 水底摄影机技术员）
他们请我们设计产品
they approached us to design something.
这一个…有点脏
So, this one is, uh… a little dirty.
我们设计出磁性手臂
We designed a magnetic arm
打开玻璃圆球旁的雨刷
that pulls a windshield wiper around this glass dome
持续保持长时间的干净
and keeps it clean for long periods of time.
刚见面时 他们要求的交货期非常赶
When we first met them, their deadline seemed absurd.
（曼德罗 水底摄影工程师）
没人做过类似的东西
Nobody’s done anything even close to this.
我们要处理缩时和摄影机的问题
We had all of the issues associated with just dealing with the time-lapse,
而且还有许多未知数
the camera, but we also had just so many unknowns.
当你的摄影系统
When you have a camera system
必须连续潜入海水好几个月
that you need to be submerged in saltwater for months on end…
就代表将遭受强烈暴风雨 和飓风袭击
that is subject to huge storms and hurricanes…
承受海底巨大的压力
at depth, with all the tremendous pressure
几十亿公升的水压
of billions of gallons of water pressing down,
非常困难
that is very, very difficult to do.
如果我们要安装单板机 或树莓派单板机和SSH连线方式
If we’re tethered to a BeagleBoard or Raspberry Pi and SSH in,
我至少需要12伏特 或许11伏特勉强可以
I need at least 12 volts. Probably get away with 11.
那单板机可以用 12伏特转5伏特的变压器
Then we could use a 12-to-5 for the Beagle.
先假定300毫安培 -好
Let’s say 300 milliamps. -Okay.
一天12分钟
Twelve minutes a day.
每小时7.2瓦 -对
Seven-point-two watt-hours. -Yeah.
好 -很好
Okay. -Cool.
我想这应该很容易
Well, I think this is gonna be pretty easy.
他们利用3D印表机列印零件
[Orlowski] They’re 3D-printing parts,
打造客制化电路板和无线热点
they’re building custom circuit boards, they’re building custom wireless hotspots.
这真的非常复杂
It is really, really complicated.
船上的人以无线网路 连接手提箱中的电脑…
Person in boat wirelessly connects to a computer in a case
（无线台，电脑）
（手提箱，缆线）
手提箱连接脐带缆线
which is hardwired to an umbilical cable
再往下连接到水底遮蔽物中的路由器
that goes down to a router inside an underwater housing
（遮物 路由器）
遮蔽物无线连接至摄影机
that communicates wirelessly to the camera.
（缆线、雨刷 手臂、摄影机）
完成后直接拔除
When you’re done, you just unplug it.
这是目前为止我看过…
This is, by far, the most complicated thing
“潜入海洋”所制♥作♥过最复杂的东西
I’ve seen built by View Into the Blue.
当时，杰夫和理查不知道我是珊瑚迷
At the time, Jeff and Richard had no idea that I was a coral nerd.
我在办公室里，内心暗喜…
Secretly, I’d been sitting in my office, really stoked
（雷哥 摄影机技术员）
我待在研究珊瑚计划的同一个房♥间里
that I was even in the same room as this project about coral was going on,
而我们同时在支持这项计划
and we were helping support it.
因为我最希望能够为珊瑚做点贡献
Because I wanted more than anything to do something for the coral.
它们是瓣叶珊瑚
These are Lobophyllia.
那杯状的珊瑚不是锐孔珊瑚 就是某种瓣叶珊瑚
The chalices are either Oxypora or a kind of phylia.
圆菊珊瑚、角菊珊瑚 菊珊瑚、脑纹珊瑚
Montastrea, Favites, Favia , Platygyra.
那个可能不是脑纹珊瑚…
That might not be Platygyra…
我很小的时候就常接触海洋生态
I got involved in the aquarium industry at a pretty young age.
在科罗拉多山区长大
Growing up in the mountains and in Colorado
其实让我对海洋更加着迷
actually made my obsession with the ocean a little bit worse.
这珊瑚看起来充满生机
See, on this coral, there’s a lot of life,
但也有很多死亡，这只剩下骨骼
but then there’s a lot of, like, death here, so this is just skeleton.
很有可能，因为它太靠近…
So, that could very well be because it got too close
真叶珊瑚，或许它们互相攻击
to this Euphyllia, perhaps, they fought with each other,
这一只把那一只刺死了
and this one stung that one to death, right there.
他非常爱珊瑚
[Mendelow] He just loves coral.
喜欢到家里有珊瑚水族箱
Even to the point where he has coral reef tanks at his house
里面却没半条鱼
with no fish in them.
没有人的珊瑚水族箱里没半条鱼
And nobody has coral reef tanks with no fish in them.
珊瑚的美丽 或者说为什么我爱珊瑚胜过鱼
[Rago] The beauty of coral or why I enjoy coral more than fish
是因为如果珊瑚死了 那一定是你的错
is because if a coral dies, it’s your fault.
只要你不搞砸，像是打破水族箱
As long as you don’t mess up and, like, crash your tank
或是杀了珊瑚，它们都会一直活着
or kill that coral, then they’re all gonna continue living.
它们是不断运转的机器
They’re just perpetual machines.
它们没有一定的平均寿命
They don’t really have a life expectancy, more or less.
它们就不断生长
They just kind of continue to go on
只要环境合适
as long as their environment allows them to.
水母也是一样
That’s the same with jellyfish, too.
水母基本上也是永生 但是它们会被很多生物吃掉
Jellyfish technically live forever, but they just get eaten by so many things
但这不会发生在珊瑚身上
that it just doesn’t happen.
对我来说，大自然最有趣的就是共生
For me, the most interesting thing in nature is symbiosis.
两种不同的有机体适应彼此
Two separate organisms that have adapted to each other,
并且互利共生
and are now benefiting each other.
一起合作…
They’re working together, and…
我第一个想到的就是海葵和小丑鱼
the first thing that comes to my mind is an anemone and a clownfish.
海葵提供小丑鱼保护
The anemone provides protection for the clownfish,
小丑鱼通常会为海葵带来食物
and the clownfish usually provides food for the anemone.
这是互利共生的关系
It’s a mutually beneficial relationship.
以珊瑚来说，关系更深层
In the case of a coral, it goes deeper than that.
共生的有机体本身就在有机体中
The symbiont itself is incorporated in the organism.
珊瑚没有这些小植物细胞就不会存在
The coral doesn’t exist without these little tiny plant cells.
它们完全依赖彼此，无法独♥立♥生存
They are completely reliant on each other, and you don’t have one without the other.
两者之间的关系…
That relationship between the two of them is…
对我来说是世界上最有趣的事
the most interesting thing in the world to me.
颜色变化很平均
Is the color change fairly uniform,
还是这样变化？ -不知道
or does it do this? -Don’t know.
不知道 -不知道
Don’t know. -Don’t know.
鹿角珊瑚可能一夕之间消失对吗？ -以前没有拍摄过野生珊瑚
Pocilloporas could go overnight, right? -It’s never been shot in the wild before.
所以我觉得非常兴奋
That’s what so thrilling to me about what’s going on here
这会是我们第一次可以去问…
is that it’s gonna be the first time we’ll actually be able to ask that
和回答那个问题 -是
and answer that question. -Yeah.
但鹿角珊瑚可能一夕之间消失对吗？
[Mendelow] But the Pocilloporas could go overnight, couldn’t they?
对，其实很多鹿角珊瑚已经消失了
Yeah, a lot of the Pocilloporas have already gone.
完全被消灭 -已经被消灭
Completely wiped. -Wiped already.
但表孔珊瑚 是建立珊瑚礁非常重要的珊瑚
But the Montiporas are the important reef-building corals.
表孔珊瑚和扁缩滨珊瑚 是最重要的两种
Montipora and Porites compressa, yeah, are the two.
还有钟形微孔珊瑚 你看到的大型珊瑚
And Lutea, that big one that you saw. So–
孔珊瑚的组织厚度是多少？
And what’s the tissue thickness on Porites?
它们可以小至半公分
So, they can be down a half a centimeter.
受精的配子会带有…
Do the ga–? Do the fertilized gametes carry those…?
对，因为大部分在夏威夷 我们有大量的…
Yes, ’cause most of them– In Hawaii, we have a very high proportion
珊瑚品种…
of the coral species that…
我们知道很难预期放置摄影机的地点
We knew this was gonna be incredibly hard,
