Manos Del Mar（海洋之手）是一封音乐情书，献给墨西哥南下加利福尼亚州自然与人类之间微妙的共生关系。Splice 的团队与墨西哥城的创作歌手兼作曲家 Moncaya 一起探访了巴哈美丽的沿海水域，将现场录音和音乐结合起来，讲述当地渔民和活动家如何推广尊重海洋、保护脆弱生态系统的可持续渔业和旅游实践。

在巴哈期间，Splice 与 Orgcas 取得了联系，这是一个由女性领导和运营的组织，专门通过科学、传播、教育和当地旅游业来创造海洋保护解决方案。Orgcas 决定解决科学界几十年来一直在敲响警钟的一个问题，即鲨鱼种群的崩溃（以及其他几个问题）。根据世界野生动物基金会 (WWF) 的数据，目前，1,200 种鲨鱼中至少有 36% 面临灭绝的危险。但在墨西哥，小规模的鲨鱼捕捞仍然是当地社区的习俗，几十年来一直是整个家庭的主要收入来源。因此，为了让 Orgcas 在保护这些水域方面取得进展，他们需要与当地渔民建立信任。过去，他们不愿意与 Orgcas 这样的科学组织合作，因为担心捕鱼许可证会在没有任何通知的情况下被撤销。

经过长时间的对话，他们已经能够制定出一个解决方案，确保鲨鱼和该地区家庭的可持续性。Orgcas 一直在将捕鱼收入转化为当地渔民的生态旅游收入，并培训他们以可持续的方式进行新的捕鱼方式。他们还与当地人合作，请愿并保护人们免受炸药捕鱼、水下采矿和不受控制的旅游业的威胁，这些活动威胁着鲨鱼和整个加利福尼亚湾的生态系统。

这个包通过声音和音乐捕捉了这一持续的环境保护努力。您将听到 Splice 和当地渔民亲自录制的现场录音，包括他们的船、鱼线和大海的宁静声音。您将听到仙人掌森林和海浪拍打的氛围，而 Moncaya 则会演奏夏兰戈琴并与大自然的声音一起唱出精致的旋律。该套装甚至还收录了抹香鲸发出专利咔哒声的水听器录音。所有这些声音都被转换成多功能的打击乐和旋律，无缝融合在一起。整个套装是一个宁静而迷人的音景，值得我们的关注和保护。

Manos Del Mar (Hands of the Sea) is a musical love letter to the delicate symbiotic relationship between nature and humanity in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Splice’s team alongside Mexico City based singer-songwriter and composer Moncaya visited the gorgeous costal waters of Baja to combine field recordings and music to tell the story of how local fisherman and activists are promoting sustainable fishing and tourism practices that respect the sea and protect the fragile ecosystem.

While in Baja, Splice connected with Orgcas, a women led and run organization that specializes in creating marine conservation solutions through science, communication, education, and local-based tourism. Orgcas decided to solve a problem that the scientific community have been sounding the alarm for decades, the collapse of the shark population (amongst several other issues). Currently, at least 36 percent of the 1,200 species of sharks are at risk of extinction, according to data from the World Wild Fund (WWF). But In Mexico, small-scale shark fishing continues to be a custom of native communities and it has been the main source of income for entire families for decades. So in order for Orgcas to make progress on protecting these waters they needed to build trust with the local fisherman. In the past, there was a reluctance to cooperate with scientific organizations like Orgcas for fear of the revocation of fishing permits without any notice.

After a lengthy dialogue, they have been able to work out a solution that will ensure the sustainability of both the sharks and the families in the area. Orgcas has been converting fishing income into eco-tourism income for the local fisherman and training them on new ways off fishing in sustainable ways. They’ve also worked with locals to petition and protect against dynamite fishing, underwater mining, and unchecked tourism that threatens the sharks and the entire Gulf of California ecosystem.

This pack captures this ongoing environmental protection effort through sound and music. You’ll hear field recordings captured by Splice and the local fisherman themselves of their boats, fishing lines, and the peaceful sounds of the ocean. You’ll hear ambiences of cacti forests and crashing waves while Moncaya plays charango and sings delicate melodies in concert with the sounds of nature. The pack even features hydrophone recordings of sperm whales making their patented clicking sounds. All of these sounds have been flipping into versatile percussion and melodies that blend together seamlessly. The entirety of the pack is a serene and captivating soundscape that deserves our awareness and protection.
