Ke hoʻopau nei ka mahina o ka moana

ʻO Iune 8 ka World Oceans Day, ua haʻi ka Pelekikena ʻo Iune Mahina Moana Lahui a he nui ka poʻe i manaʻo e lilo ia i hana honua, e manaʻo ana ʻo Iune World Oceans Month. Manaʻo maoli wau ua luʻu ʻia au i nā hanana moana a hauʻoli wau e hoʻomau i ka holo ʻana.

I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka mahina, aia wau ma Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, Mekiko, me ka nui o koʻu moana nā hoa hana kālā no ka hālāwai makahiki o ka poʻe hāʻawi kālā e hoʻokomo i nā mea olaola a puni ka honua. Ma kahi o 130 o mākou i hoʻopau i nā lā ʻehā e kūkākūkā ana i nā pilikia like ʻole e like me ka palekana pilikino o nā poʻe e hana ana i nā pilikia mālama i nā mauna a hiki i ka hana hoʻomalu ʻāina ʻāina a nā hui e like me Conservacion Patagonica ma Chile a me Argentina.

ʻO ka pule aʻe ʻo Capitol Hill Oceans Week (CHOW), he hanana makahiki i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka National Marine Sanctuary Foundation ʻo ia, ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, he ʻaha ahiahi e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka poʻe e hoʻokūkū nei i nā pilikia moana. Piha mau ka lumi i nā koa moana—mai ka 14 manawaleʻa o ka makahiki i koho ʻia iā Kauka Sylvia Earle a hiki i ka Aquanauts—a he mau makana makahiki. Ua lohe mākou i kahi ʻōlelo ʻae maikaʻi mai Robyn Walters, ka Hāʻawi manawaleʻa ʻo Sanctuary of the Year. He manawaleʻa ma ka Ko Hawaii Pae Aina Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary mai ka makahiki 2010, ua lilo ʻo Robyn "he waiwai nui, e lawelawe ana ma nā ʻano like ʻole ma ke ʻano he manawaleʻa: kumu aʻoaʻo lehulehu, alakaʻi alakaʻi hoʻonaʻauao hui kula, alakaʻi alakaʻi alakaʻi malihini kipa, mea hoʻonohonoho hālāwai, luna hoʻāno ma nā hanana hoʻolaha kaiāulu, mea haʻiʻōlelo a me ka mea komo ma nā huakaʻi kiaʻi koholā, mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa manawaleʻa, a me ke kōkua hoʻokele."

Ua kaʻana like ʻo Bill Ruckelshaus lāua ʻo Norman Mineta i ka makana no Lifetime Achievement (ʻo ka mea lanakila i ka makahiki 2011 ʻo ia ka luna hoʻokumu o TOF ʻo Wolcott Henry). Noho nā kāne ʻelua ma ke ʻano he luna hoʻomalu o ka Hui Hui Pū ʻIa Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻO kā lākou ʻōlelo bipartisan o ka hoʻolaʻa a me ka hoʻoholo ʻana ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke kai olakino i kū ʻokoʻa loa i ke ʻano o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa polarizing i hoʻomalu i ka nūhou i kēia manawa. He mea kupanaha wikiō o ko lakou ninaninau hui i hoikeia.

Ua hoʻolauleʻa ʻia ka makana hope loa i kahi kanaka nona ka manaʻo noʻonoʻo a me nā ʻano like ʻole i nā pilikia a mākou e kū nei. Ua loaʻa iā Senatoa Carl Levin o Michigan, he poʻokela o ka Thunder Bay Marine Sanctuary 2014 makana alakaʻi.

Ua uhi nā kau o CHOW i nā ʻano pilikia a ua hōʻike ʻia kekahi o kā mākou mau hoaaloha a me nā hoahana. Ua lawelawe au ma ka papa ʻaina awakea me ka lālā o ka Papa NMSF ʻo Dawn Martin lāua ʻo Heather Ludemann, Luna Polokalamu, Packard Foundation e kūkākūkā i ke kuleana o ke kākoʻo kumu i ka mālama kai. ʻO Barton Seaver, ka lālā o ka Papa Kūkākūkā TOF, he ʻāpana o ka hālāwai e pili ana i ka wā e hiki mai ana o nā lawaiʻa ʻAmelika. He chef ʻo Barton a lawelawe ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he Luna Hoʻokele o ka Healthy and Sustainable Food Program ma ka Center for Health and the Global Environment, i noho ʻia ma ke kula ʻo Harvard's Public Health. Ua kamaʻilio ʻo Sophia Mendelsohn, ke poʻo o ka Sustainability ma JetBlue Airways e pili ana i ka hui TOF me JetBlue ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka papa ma "Rethinking Business as Usual for the Ocean."

Ma ka la 16 o Iune a me ka la 17 o Iune, ua komo hou makou i na pilikia o ka moana, i keia manawa e nana ana i na hooponopono ma ka pae honua. Ua hōʻuluʻulu ke Kakauolelo ʻo John Kerry a me ka US Department of State i ka "Ko kakou Moana"ʻaha kūkā i hōʻuluʻulu i kahi 500 poʻe, me nā poʻo o ka mokuʻāina, nā kuhina kuhina, nā ʻepekema, nā alakaʻi ʻoihana, a me nā ʻelele NGO. I loko o nā lā ʻelua, ua kālele ka ʻaha kūkā i ʻekolu mau kumuhana nui: ka hoʻokahe moana, nā lawaiʻa hoʻomau a me ka pollution moana. Nui nā lālā o ka hui The Ocean Foundation i hele mai. Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Grantee a me kāna hoa hana ʻo Philippe Cousteau o Earth Echo International i ka leo me kāna mau ʻōlelo wehe. ʻO Hoyt Peckham o TOF o kā mākou papahana hoʻokipa SmartFish, ua kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka honu kai ma Iapana, Mekiko a me Hawaii ma o ka noiʻi komo ʻana i ka wā o ka ʻāpana hoʻonā o ka panel Sustainable Fisheries.

Ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka papa hoʻoheheʻe moana, ua hāʻawi ʻia iaʻu ka manawa e hoʻolaha ai i kā mākou waihona kālā hou: "Nā Hoa o ka Global Ocean Acidification Monitoring Network" e kōkua i nā kaiāulu e hōʻoia i ka ʻike ʻana i kahi e hiki mai ai ka ʻakika moana a me ka wā e piʻi ai, no laila kona hopena. hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia, hoʻomaopopo ʻia, a laila ʻōlelo ʻia. Ua loaʻa iaʻu ka manawa e hui pū ai me Sophia Mendelson, no kahi hālāwai hoʻomaha ma ke ahiahi hope i hōʻike hou i kā mākou hui pū me JetBlue e hana i nā ʻōpala kai ma ka Caribbean.

Nui nā hopena maikaʻi mai ka ʻaha kūkā: Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Pelekikena Obama i ka hoʻonui nui ʻana o nā wahi i pale ʻia ma nā kai ʻāina o ʻAmelika; Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Pelekikena Tong o Kiribati e pāpā ʻia ka lawaiʻa kalepa ma kona ʻāina Wahi Palekana ʻo Phoenix Islands; A ua hoʻolaha kekahi mau hui like ʻole i nā hoʻohiki hou i ana i ke ola moana.

Ma ka lā 19 o Iune, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi puke hou i kapa ʻia ʻo "O Mar no Futuro de Portugal: Ciência e Visão Estratégica" (The Sea of ​​Portugal in the Future: Science and Strategic Vision) i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma Lisbon, kahi i komo ai kaʻu mokuna ma "The role of Portugal in ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka hui ʻana o Trans-Atlantic me US.

Ma ka la 24 o Iune, ua Komisina o ka Moana Honua ua hoʻolaha i kāna mau ʻike ma hope o 18 mau mahina o ke aʻo ʻana i ka moana honua a me kona pono. Noho ʻia e José María Figueres, ka Pelekikena mua o Costa Rica, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ke Komisina no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo pōkole, waena a lōʻihi e hoʻoponopono ai i nā pilikia nui e kū nei i ke kai kiʻekiʻe:
▪ ka lawaiʻa nui ʻana
▪ ka pohō nui o ka nohona a me nā mea olaola
▪ ka nele o ka hoʻokele a me ka hoʻokō pono
▪ nā hemahema o ka hoʻomalu kai kiʻekiʻe

Ma kahi hanana i loko o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa I New York, ua ʻākoakoa mākou e lohe e pili ana i ka hōʻike hope a me nā manaʻo o ke Komisina Moana Honua. Ua mālama ʻia ke kolu o ka Plasticity Forum ma New York i ka lā aʻe. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka Plasticity Forum ma ka manaʻo "i kēlā me kēia makahiki he 280 miliona mau toni o ka plastic i hana ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, akā ua manaʻo ʻia he 10% wale nō i kēlā me kēia makahiki ke hana hou ʻia. ʻO ka hopu ʻana i kēia kahawai ʻōpala ke hāʻawi nei i kahi manawa ʻoihana koʻikoʻi a ʻike ʻole ʻia, e like me ka hoʻolālā hou ʻana o ka ʻōpala, a me ke kaʻina noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka hana ʻōpala. Hāʻawi ka Plasticity Forum i nā manaʻo a wehe i nā kūkākūkā e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia mea i nā ala hou, ʻo ka "pre" a me ka "post" hoʻohana mea kūʻai aku. He mea pili loa kēia kūkākūkā i ka wā e pili ana i ka luʻi o ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā ʻōpala kai a me ka ulu ʻana o ka pilikia o nā plastik i loko o ke kai.

ʻAʻole lawa ka mahina no ke kai. Eia ma The Ocean Foundation, ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei mākou ʻo kēlā me kēia lā he lā e hana ai mākou i kekahi mea no ke kai. E hui pū me mākou i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka poʻe i hoʻolaʻa i ko lākou mau lā i ke olakino o ke kai.
