Ikani mu Healthy Coastal Ecosystem

Kuyika ndalama m'malo okhala m'mphepete mwa nyanja athanzi, zidzakulitsa moyo wamunthu. Ndipo, izo zidzatibwezera ife nthawi zambiri.

Chidziwitso: Monga mabungwe ena angapo, Earth Day Network idasuntha 50 yake^th Chikondwerero cha Anniversary pa intaneti. Mutha kuzipeza pano.

The 50^th Chikumbutso cha Tsiku la Dziko Lapansi chafika. Ndipo komabe ndizovuta kwa ife tonse. Zovuta kuganiza za Tsiku la Dziko Lapansi ndikukhala nthawi yochuluka m'nyumba, kutali ndi chiopsezo chosawoneka ku thanzi lathu ndi la okondedwa athu. N'zovuta kuona mmene mpweya ndi madzi zakhalira paukhondo m'milungu yochepa chabe chifukwa chokhala kwathu kunyumba kuti "tifewetse njira" ndikupulumutsa miyoyo. Ndizovuta kuyitanitsa aliyense kuti athane ndi kusintha kwanyengo, kuchepetsa kuwononga chilengedwe, komanso kuchepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito zinthu pamene 10% ya anthu ogwira ntchito m'dziko lathu akufunsira ulova, ndipo pafupifupi 61% ya anthu m'dziko lathu adakhudzidwa kwambiri ndi zachuma. 

Ndipo komabe, tikhoza kuyang'ana izo mwanjira ina. Tikhoza kuyamba kuganiza za momwe tingatengere njira zotsatila za dziko lathu lapansi m'njira yabwino kwambiri m'madera athu. Nanga bwanji kuchita zinthu zokomera nyengo zomwe zili bwino? Zabwino pakulimbikitsa kwakanthawi kochepa ndikuyambitsanso chuma, zabwino kukonzekera mwadzidzidzi, ndipo ndizabwino kutipangitsa kuti tonsefe tisakhale pachiwopsezo cha kupuma ndi matenda ena? Nanga bwanji ngati titha kuchita zinthu zomwe zingatipindulitse kwambiri pazachuma, thanzi, ndi chikhalidwe chathu?

Titha kuganiza za momwe tingachepetsere kusokonezeka kwanyengo ndikuwona kusokonezeka kwanyengo ngati zomwe takumana nazo (osati mosiyana ndi mliri). Titha kuchepetsa kapena kuthetsa mpweya wathu wotenthetsera mpweya, kupanga ntchito zowonjezera pakusintha. Tikhoza kuchepetsa mpweya sitingapewe, chinthu chomwe mliriwu ungakhale watipatsa malingaliro atsopano. Ndipo, titha kuyembekezera zowopseza ndikuyika ndalama pokonzekera ndikuchira mtsogolo.

Pakati pa anthu omwe ali patsogolo pa kusintha kwa nyengo ndi omwe amakhala m'mphepete mwa nyanja ndipo ali pachiopsezo cha mvula yamkuntho, mvula yamkuntho ndi kukwera kwa nyanja. Ndipo maderawa akuyenera kukhala ndi njira zobwezeretsera chuma chomwe chasokonekera, kaya chimachitika chifukwa cha kuphuka kwa ndere, mphepo yamkuntho, mliri kapena kutayika kwamafuta.

Chotero, pamene tingadziŵe ziwopsezo, ngakhale zitakhala kuti sizikuyandikira, ndiye kuti tiyenera kuchita zonse zomwe tingathe kuti tikhale okonzekera. Monga momwe anthu okhala m'madera omwe mphepo yamkuntho imakhala ndi njira zopulumukira, zotsekera mphepo yamkuntho, ndi mapulani a chitetezo chadzidzidzi - madera onse akuyenera kuwonetsetsa kuti ali ndi njira zoyenera zotetezera anthu, nyumba zawo ndi moyo wawo, zomangamanga ndi zachilengedwe. zomwe amadalira.

Sitingathe kupanga phokoso pafupi ndi madera omwe ali pachiopsezo cha m'mphepete mwa nyanja monga chitetezo cha nthawi yaitali ku kusintha kwa kuya kwa nyanja, chemistry, ndi kutentha. Sitingathe kuyika chigoba kumaso awo, kapena kuwauza kuti #stayhome ndikulemba mndandanda wachitetezo chomwe chatsirizidwa. Kuchitapo kanthu pamphepete mwa nyanja ndikuyika ndalama mu njira zazifupi komanso zazitali, zomwe zimapanga kukonzekera kwambiri pakagwa mwadzidzidzi. ndi imathandizira moyo watsiku ndi tsiku wa anthu ndi nyama.

Mamilioni osaneneka a maekala a mangrove, udzu wa m'nyanja, ndi madambo amchere atayika chifukwa cha zochita za anthu ku US ndi padziko lonse lapansi. Ndipo motero, chitetezo chachilengedwechi cha madera am'mphepete mwa nyanja chatayikanso.

Komabe, taphunzira kuti sitingadalire “zomangamanga zotuwa” kuti tiziteteza makwerero, misewu, ndi nyumba. Makoma akuluakulu a nyanja ya konkriti, milu ya miyala ndi rap-rap sangathe kuchita ntchito yoteteza zomangamanga zathu. Amawonetsa mphamvu, samayamwa. Kukulitsa kwawo mphamvu kumawafooketsa, kuwamenya ndi kuwaphwanya. Mphamvu zowonekera zimachotsa mchenga. Iwo amakhala projectiles. Kaŵirikaŵiri, amatetezera mnansi wina movutitsa mnzake. 

Ndiye, ndi chiyani chomwe chili chabwinoko, chokhalitsa Msungidwe? Ndi chitetezo chamtundu wanji chomwe chimadzipangira chokha, makamaka kudzibwezeretsa pambuyo pa mkuntho? Ndipo, zosavuta kubwereza? 

Kwa anthu okhala m'mphepete mwa nyanja, izi zikutanthauza kuyika ndalama zogulira kaboni wa blue - madambo athu a m'nyanja, nkhalango za mangrove, ndi malo otsetsereka amchere. Malowa timawatcha kuti "blue carbon" chifukwa amatenganso ndikusunga carbon - kuthandiza kuchepetsa zotsatira za mpweya wowonjezera wowonjezera kutentha panyanja ndi moyo wamkati.

Ndiye timachita bwanji?

• Bwezerani kaboni wabuluu
  • kubzalanso mitengo ya mangrove ndi udzu wa m'nyanja
  • kuyesetsa kubwezeretsa madambo athu amadzi

• Tetezani zomwe tasiya
  • kukonzanso chitukuko cha m'mphepete mwa nyanja kuteteza, osati kuwononga malo okhala
  • kusintha khalidwe la boater kuteteza malo

• Pangani zinthu zachilengedwe zomwe zimathandizira thanzi labwino kwambiri
  • madzi aukhondo mwachitsanzo amachepetsa kusefukira kwa madzi okhudzana ndi nthaka
  • palibe dredging, palibe chapafupi imvi zomangamanga
  • Zomangamanga zocheperako, zopangidwa bwino kuti zithandizire ntchito zabwino za anthu (monga marinas)
  • Kuthana ndi zoopsa zomwe zidasokonekera (monga malo opangira magetsi, mapaipi osatha, zida zopha nsomba)

• Lolani kubadwanso kwachilengedwe komwe tingathe, kubzalanso pakufunika

Kodi timalandira chiyani? Kubwezeretsanso kuchuluka.

• Gulu lazinthu zachilengedwe zomwe zimayamwa mphamvu za mkuntho, mafunde, mafunde, ngakhale mphepo ina (mpaka nsonga)
• Ntchito zobwezeretsa ndi chitetezo
• Ntchito zowunikira ndi kufufuza
• Kupititsa patsogolo malo odyetsera nsomba ndi malo omwe amathandizira kuti pakhale chakudya chokwanira komanso ntchito zachuma zokhudzana ndi usodzi (zosangalatsa ndi zamalonda)
• Mawonedwe ndi magombe (osati makoma ndi miyala) kuthandizira zokopa alendo
• Kuchepetsa kuthamanga kwa madzi pamene machitidwewa amayeretsa madzi (kusefa tizilombo toyambitsa matenda ndi zowononga)

Pali zabwino zambiri zomwe anthu amapeza kuchokera kumadzi oyera, usodzi wochulukirapo, komanso ntchito zokonzanso. Ubwino wochotsa kaboni ndi kusungirako zachilengedwe za m'mphepete mwa nyanja umaposa nkhalango zapamtunda, ndipo kuziteteza kumawonetsetsa kuti mpweyawo usatulutsidwenso. Kuonjezera apo, malinga ndi bungwe la High Level Panel for Sustainable Ocean Economy (lomwe ine ndine mlangizi), njira zothetsera chilengedwe m'madambo zawonedwa kuti "ziwonetsetse kuti pali kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa amuna ndi akazi pamene mafakitale apanyanja akukulitsa ndi kupititsa patsogolo mwayi wopeza ndalama komanso moyo.” 

Kubwezeretsa ndi kutetezedwa kwa kaboni wabuluu sikungoteteza chilengedwe. Ichi ndi chuma chomwe maboma angapangitse chuma chonse. Kuchepetsa misonkho kwachititsa kuti maboma azisowa chuma pa nthawi yomwe zikufunika kwambiri (phunziro lina la mliriwu). Kubwezeretsa ndi kuteteza mpweya wa buluu ndi udindo wa boma komanso momwe lingathere. Mtengo ndi wotsika, ndipo mtengo wa buluu wa carbon ndi wokwera. Kubwezeretsa ndi chitetezo kungathe kutheka kudzera mukukulitsa ndi kukhazikitsa mgwirizano watsopano pakati pa anthu ndi mabungwe achinsinsi, ndikulimbikitsa zatsopano zomwe zidzapangitse ntchito zatsopano komanso chitetezo cha chakudya, chuma, ndi gombe.

Izi ndi zomwe zikutanthawuza kukhala opirira poyang'anizana ndi kusokonezeka kwakukulu kwa nyengo: kupanga ndalama zomwe zili ndi ubwino wambiri - ndikupereka njira yokhazikitsira madera pamene akubwerera kuchokera ku chisokonezo chachikulu, ziribe kanthu chomwe chimayambitsa. 

Mmodzi mwa okonza Tsiku Loyamba la Dziko Lapansi, Denis Hayes, posachedwapa ananena kuti akuganiza kuti anthu 20 miliyoni omwe adabwera kudzakondwerera akupempha chinachake chodabwitsa kwambiri kuposa omwe amatsutsa nkhondo. Iwo anali kupempha kuti boma lisinthe kwambiri mmene limatetezera thanzi la anthu ake. Choyamba, kuletsa kuipitsa mpweya, madzi ndi nthaka. Kuchepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito ziphe zomwe zimapha nyama mwachisawawa. Ndipo mwina chofunika kwambiri, kuyika ndalama mu njira ndi matekinoloje kuti abwezeretse zambiri kuti apindule onse. Pamapeto pa tsikuli, tikudziwa kuti kuyika mabiliyoni ambiri mumpweya woyera ndi madzi oyera kunabweretsa kubwerera kwa anthu onse aku America mabiliyoni-ndipo adapanga mafakitale amphamvu odzipereka ku zolingazo. 

Kuyika ndalama mu carbon buluu kudzakhala ndi phindu lofanana-osati kwa anthu a m'mphepete mwa nyanja, koma kwa zamoyo zonse padziko lapansi.

Akugwira ntchito ku Sargasso Sea Commission. Mark ndi Senior Fellow ku Center for the Blue Economy ku Middlebury Institute of International Studies. Ndipo, iye ndi Mlangizi ku Gulu Lapamwamba la Zachuma Chokhazikika panyanja.

Mark ndi katswiri pa ndondomeko ndi malamulo a chilengedwe padziko lonse lapansi, ndondomeko ndi malamulo apanyanja, komanso chifundo cha m'mphepete mwa nyanja ndi panyanja.
