Clearing a MASSIVE kina barren
ฝัง

- The New Zealand coastline, particularly in the north, is struggling to maintain its balance in the ecosystem, causing the kina population to get out of control.
That's where we come in.

I love how the fish already know to hang out close to you, almost like little water puppies!
That's what fish do! :D
If there's food to grab they will hang around.
Sharks literally have fish that follow them to grab the little bits
Some call it "fish tax"😂
When you take a dumb in the water especially at night some fish might even „steal your brown train before it even left the station completely“ if you know what I mean.
Everting becomes food in the ocean!
I mean technically fish would have had the puppy thing down before puppies existed so 😂
@@ghoullovinbutch and some species of sharks are like puppys with gills.
And different species are also different like different types of dog.
But the sharks are a little more dangerous when they bite 😉
i love it when the fish go ham on the kina when you crack one open
I’m starting to love his 40k style of his descriptions. “You don’t do out of love for the seaweed. You do it out of hatred for the Kina.”
Cringe
Suffer not the kina to live
God emperor if the chaos was in the ocean real
The emperor protects
the reef cracked before the kinaboys did
I was JUST looking for something to watch to clear my mind for sleep , checked my subscription tab and there you are , just in time !
I'm floored...I just stumbled on this video as I was having trouble sleeping, and it's helping me feel pleasantly drowsy now!
Yeah, but then I got hammered by the YT demons with a commercial for car insurance, that had different audio settings - jumped out my bloody skin! Now can't sleep again and thinking of all the ways tomorrow is going to suck as a result 😡
@@RLC-London yikes brother , I’m sorry to hear that ! I hope that your day was a pleasant surprise for you , a complete subversion of your expectations ! Please take care
Good point, these videos would be excellent for pre-sleep videos.
I’m happy to see you guys clearing the urchins! 😊
Clearing them protects coral reefs and allow the kelps to regrow while urchins have been a delicacy in many cultures for centuries. 👍
I thought sea urchins help coral reefs recover from die-offs.
@@zkaspect5172 when the balance is off the whole reef suffers. Can't be too much or too little of flora and fauna.
unfortunately, I think the type of urchin that's taking over reefs isn't very tasty (unless you're a fish I guess)
@@Operngeist1 They are a delicacy -- the roe -- the yellow part. Watch when they feed the fish and you can see the blobs of yellow. They use the roe for food then recycle the outer part. So it's a three step good job! :)
@@therealJamieJoynot all of them tho. Some taste better, I think these are pretty gross that's why there's so many
Love how there’s just that one urchin at 6:15 amongst the pile of Kina like “where am I?!” lol. Bro got lost!
i counted at least 3
Does that different sea urchin go by a different name in Māori?
Oh wow! I've just been calling them all urchins. Are the Kina even a type of urchin? Or is that just the name for the invasive species?
@@averynelson1186not invasive, their natural predators died off. This is what happens when keystone species are removed. The same thing is happening with deer in the usa
@@silverfox9004yeah however the USA is slowly reintroducing apex predators unlike the UK where there are 1 million deer in Scotland alone they’re literally eating forest saplings which is one of the many causes of Scotland and britains deforestation issue
I love the sound you make, it's a real ASMR experience!
And you always give something to the hungry fish, you're a very kind person
The guy in the comments freaking out over you not getting every last urchin saying it’s to keep more to “farm” later is hilarious.
Keep it up man this is so satisfying!
With diving you have to go with the flow, if the current is taking you away from the spot just leave them or get them on another pass, dont waste the time and energy fighting current.
@@PM_82 Especially since he's doing this on a breath hold
Plus it's not about getting the Population to Zero?? 😂😂
Bro doesn't know what "population *control"* is lmao
@PM_82 Thanks for clarifying. I was actually curious why they don't get all of them in one spot before moving on to another. The current hadn't even occurred to me. 😅
I love these right before sleep. But one question, what happens to these urchins? Food?
The roe gets sold for eating, the shell gets used for fertilizer
Thanks!! I've been wondering that exact question. It would be cook to see the whole process from collection to food or recycling
I'd love that too! @@aj9751
@@therealcorokinaboysoh really??
I expected them to be pretty gross, since there's so many of them, u know nobody wants to eat them and stuff?
Good to see they're actually being used
@@KeaveMindsome types of urchin are a delicacy. as in, they cant get enough of them to sell for food. not sure how good this type is
I swear I could keep watching this for hours, I'll definitely stay around for more videos! Keep up the great job and thank you for helping the local ecosystem
I do not know how I wondered here, I am not complaining this is a new rabbit hole to fall down 👍🏽👍🏽great work
The part with the fish eating the Kina as you cracked it open was kinda wholesome tbh
I have never seen anything like this before, its quite mesmerizing, and the fish are soooo gorgeous!❤
Those fish already know the drill.
I followed u from tiktok. I've always felt like the video was too short. I'm so glad I found your TH-cam channel. 20 mins of this is heaven ❤
Bro must be exhausted after so much diving and holding his breath so often. I know i’d be.
You get used to it and adapt after a few weeks
The fish give him their strength, and moral support
I had an anthropology professor who specialized in a diving tribe off the Phillipines.
He said that the people who dive for a living can frequently stay down for 3-5 minutes no problem.
I guess a lung is muscle-adjacent, you can train it
right i'd probably sleep like a baby the moment i arrive home. they've got crazy endurance
@@CoperliteConsumer Genuine question; wouldnt it be better to get an oxygen tank or something like that? allows deeper time underwater and all?
I love these videos !
I do wonder ! How do you pick which spots to clear? I see you sometime skipped over a bunch. Is there a reason for it, or is it purely positioning / breath related?
Cheers! Entirely depends on the weather as to where we dive that day, also we dive different spots at different times of the year depending on the quality of the kina. I'll skip over them if the kina is in an awkward spot or if they're too small. Usually just pick the best "line" for that breath hold to get the most out of that dive.
@@therealcorokinaboysoh wow, so that answers my other question. You are doing each of these runs on one breath?
@@codiserville593yes he is
How I would love to see sea otters inhabiting our coastlines. Just as in Alaska where they were reintroduced the kelp would thrive, fish return in abundance. They don’t have any significant effect on shore life, what’s not to like. The just LOVE Kina!
I dont know how your not overwhelmed by just how many of them there are. Love your work boys, thank you for your service to the health of our oceans. ❤❤❤
All that work on one breath is mind boggling
0:04 life could be a dream life could be a dreammm
HAHAH
Dude I've been waiting for another long form video of this, THANK YOU
The type of action movie description "That's where we Come in" is the type of missionary nerdy skill type I just love seeing
Came for the fish rizz, stayed for the posetive and humble feels.
The perfect movement, the buoyancy control, the cool tool, the fishes knowing whatsup... perfect
You make this look so easy! I don't know much of anything about sea urchins and whatnot, but I can tell you've been doing this a long time. Gotta love it!
this is SO satisfying to watch. thank you :🙂
I've come to love your videos and shorts, please keep up. Also what happened to their natural predators in the area? Did the kina ever had any predators near the area?
Most of their predators are popular catches for fishermen, and have unfortunately been overfished for that reason. Unintended consequence of that is now that the kina are free to grow exponentially
Do you specifically only harvest one species of urchin? Just wondering because I saw that you didn’t collect the big red ones. Are they too spikey?
Yes, they’re only after the kina. The other urchins are fine. The kina are overpopulated and destroying the reef, so the divers go in to thin out their numbers
@@boaz2578no, farming would be feeding and takin care of them. He no more farms them then us Americans farm white tailed deer when we thin their heard every season. This is what we do, humans are apex predators and our place is to thin the heard, not obliterate it lol
@@boaz2578do deer hunters farm whitetail deer during the deer hunting season?
@boaz2578 Yeah, they're thinning the numbers so the ecosystem is balanced.
@@dreamnomore550Do the kina taste good like the japanese or californian sea urchin?
How cool are those Wrasses. They know what's up when they see the Coro Kina boys around. Feeding time.
This is like an ASMR. So relaxing to watch.
I love watching these videos before bed. So peaceful and i absolutely l9ve the ocean so its nice to see it being treated well
I used to live in Coro as a kid, then moved back to England. Those were some of the best years of my life. Glad to see someone maintaining it!
Im so glad you made another long video! Love all the content
Haven't watched in a year, still cool seeing you ppl help the ocean.
Ребята, вы крутые! Спасибо за истории! Видео потрясающие! Здоровья вам❤
This is the content I needed!
I'd love to hear more! How long did did the team dive for. How many urchin did you clear. How often do you revisit the same place. What do u do with Kina later. What are those fishes called. Which one is yoru favourite etc etc You have a nice voice! It would be relaxing too!
I love these videos so much! Its so satisfying to watch
I am curious; what is the benefit of collecting them versus a tool that will kill them on the spot? I'm sure there's a reason for it. Maybe to avoid too many carcasses concentrated in one area? NZ kina aren't that desirable or so I've read though I could be wrong on that.
Edit: I decided to google whether people are willing to eat kina. Seems like a lot more than I had previously thought! And the demand is growing. Hopefully, the world will be able to balance out this imbalance. Good luck lads.
I use your vids for background noise whenever im cleaning, works better than lofi for some reason
Watching this at double speed looks insane. 😁 Excellent job!
We need like a 2 hour version of this, its just so relaxing
Love it! Just seems endless! Well done!
How long does it take for the area to recover from becoming barren?
Hello, my friend, why do you collect these? Are they a pest or are they for eating?
pest
Both, kinda. They're like white-tailed deer here in the US. Humans messed up and have made it so they have fewer natural predators, thus their population has exploded. Now, there are conservation efforts regarding those predators, and hunters (like the kina boys) thin the population so they don't graze the local plant life into nothing (again, much like white-tailed deer). They're a native species, but there are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many of them.
@@duskaxe thanks 🙏🏻
@@boaz2578 thank you 🙏🏻🙋🏻♂️
@@geekygoggles628 Thank you for the detailed explanation and interesting examples
Oh yes! You upload another video! I really like these video btw, somehow relaxing
Great mahi- Keep up the good work. I never though that such a delicacy could be a menace.
I love how the one on 20:27 stacked and the diver was like: "you will regret this, lad" and immediately cracked it up
- I just *love* watching these videos && at 5:31 the fish thought your glove was food aha. What kind of fish are those? They're beautiful 😍 ❤
Can we get a satisfying cleaning sim game like power wash simulator? Its just so satisfying seeing the Kina get bagged.
This is so cool to watch. I wish I could my breath that long to collect many sea urchins
Soo satisfying to watch. What are you doing with the gathered kinas?
For some reason, I find this soooooooo satisfying to watch 🧐😏
My god theyre really everywhere.. I wish i would live in this area
I would absolutely join you guys doing this work.
Kind of a shame youtube puts you in the same column with very bad commercial fishing videos
Great video! I'd be curious to know more about this industry. Why are the kina out of hand? (The urchins in the US are the same way because we killed all the sea otters, which eat them) Is there a harvesting season? If so, what do you do the rest of the year?
Granted, it seems like most folks watch this for the ASMR, not just the oddly mesmerizing visuals, so a voiceover explanation of all this might be unwise.
The kina are out of hand because their main predators are mollusks and they’re currently struggling to stay alive as a result of rising sea levels + pH increasing. Not only that but one of their main predators are starfish and the spiny rock lobster, with lobster being a common product for seafood it means less lobsters are out there hunting Kina.
@@browserjunior4707
Thanks for answering my question!
@@browserjunior4707 Actually it's also the adults of the larger snapper species being completely overfished. These eat a LOT of juvenile urchins but only if the fish is big enough (as they need to be able to crack it inside their mouth).
I think your gunna need a bigger net . Love the videos
Odd question but is there a difference between the Kina vs an urchin or is it just a NZ name for the monsters
they are a type of sea urchin, they are called kina because the Maori (indigenous people of NZ) called them kina
Just sitting and not moving and trying to hold my breath everytime he went under water was exhausting. Very impressive how long he can do that for.
"You've been playing without an opponent. That is against the rules"
- This guy
I could watch and listen to you do this for hours. BUT I am "one of those people" though... I have questions??? Do you get paid by piece , by pound, by job??? As fast as you are if they paid you by piece you could be rich. LOL What happens to them after the harvest? Do people eat them? And is there a reason why they don't give you a bigger bag? You are so amazing at this you could fill a trash size bag in no time. Thank you for sharing and helping save the oceans.
Ive read in other replies that the Kina roe gets sold for eating and the shells get sold for fertilizer
It always surprises me that this is done just by holding your breath for long periods of time. I could never😂
I know scuba gear is expensive and bulky and so on, but i feel like it would save so much time and effort
Do the fishes know that you're gonna feed them???
Kina are one of my favourite foods! Delicious!
so why do you leave some behind? like sometimes you just skip a cluster and move on to the next.
Farken hell have you seen so much bloody kina!! 😳 drooling like Homer Simpson watching this
I would pay money to feed the fish like that! Love watching you do it!
10 hours ago and long video ❤❤ thanks
I would like to do something like this but i cant even swim 😅 so i'll just watch it and appreciate it. Really helps me with my insomia 😊
i cant imagine how one can hold their breath for so long let alone move around i swear i cant hold my breath underwater for longer than a few seconds
- These things are never ending *holy shxt* !! You guys aren't even making a *damn dent* .. WOWWW
Mesmerizing! There’s no end of them. I enjoyed the appreciative fish. What will happen to the urchins you removed?
I can't stop watching these videos
When you break the kina to feed the fish, how do you avoid also scattering their eggs and reseeding the population?
Also, what are the natural predators of kina, and are these kina invasive or local?
If they’re local, what was their original utility to the ecosystem?
The eggs scattered won't be fertilised. Also, will rapidly get eaten by said fish. Natural predation was mostly Snapper (Pagrus auratus) originally, but with those being the second most popular eating fish in NZ, slow growing and easy to catch, there is a lot less around, especially ones big enough to tackle mature kina.
Keep up tge good work boys!
How heavy are the nets by the time they’re full?
I don't know how I got here but I am so glad this was recommended.
You are like the dental hygienist of the ocean 🤩 I wish I could help out on this sort of mission !
These guys make a great case for the definition of invasive species including overpopulated native organisms and not just introduced ones
Love the trust fall at the start 😂
I would probably sit and feed the fish the whole thing if I were you 😭
Binged the whole channel in 1 session. Subbed!
This is so relaxing I like sleeping to videos like these.
do you do this the whole day? like you're underwater the whole day?
It would so hard for me to leave urchins behind during each dive. That’s why I can’t play video games where there’s loot everywhere; I get sucked into collecting everything
"You can run, but you can't hide!".... Well, run you cannot either.
That part when u tryna touch the fish's tail is so cute
Is it illegal to scuba while harvesting the kina? Or just easier to free-dive?
The is two fold wonderful! Rid the pests and feed the fishies!
🐠 Love Love 💕
How long you can stay underwater?. Amazing.
tbe moment he opens one up to let fishes feed was so sweet
From what I’ve read many of the Kina are taken ashore and fattened in “kina ranches” then sold to export markets. Not sure if it actually makes money when accounting for harvesting missions and transport but I’m guessing it lessens the financial burden.
Awww I love that you take the time to feed the fishies ❤
I love that in all the videos I see of people clearing kina, they GOTTA pay the fish tax
The Sea Otters job is to keep these under control which maintains their natural habitat Kelp.
Kelp like any other green chlorophyll plant absorbs Co2 gas. That and poor land forestry management is the issue along with gas produced by open decay landfills, not fossil fuel emissions.
I m an indian guy i don't know what the hell that is but enjoying the video 😅
Hey dude u sell those urchins or what? U doing this on your own or under some team/organization
The gonads could be washed and frozen to sell to Japanese restaurants, and the shell pieces could be crushed and be sold eiter as aquarium gravel/sand, or if heated up into lime to be used as fertilizer or a construction material 🤔.
That is what does happen.
If I didn't have a fear of water, this is a job I'd love to do
Am I the only one who just want to eat those sea urchins so bad?
You are
the sound of these kinas getting scopped is like eating chicken (im on headphones)
Genuine question, how do you guys know which Kina to remove, which ones to leave alone, and which ones to cut open for the fish? Is there a general method to their removal, or something else?
Wow your channel grow so fast...keep it growing! Keep safe while diving for urchins.
