Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOAON) yokhala ndi malo pafupifupi a 'ApHRICA', pulojekiti yoyeserera yotumizira ma sensa a pH ya m'nyanja ku South Africa, Mozambique, Seychelles, ndi Mauritius kwa nthawi yoyamba. Ntchitoyi ndi mgwirizano wapagulu ndi wabizinesi kuti mudzaze mipata yofufuza za acidity yam'nyanja ku East Africa kuphatikiza US Department of State, Ocean Foundation, Heising-Simons Foundation, Schmidt Marine Technology Partners, ndi XPRIZE Foundation ndi mabungwe osiyanasiyana ofufuza.

Sabata ino ikuyamba msonkhano wochititsa chidwi komanso projekiti yoyeserera kukhazikitsa masensa am'mphepete mwa nyanja ku Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles ndi South Africa kuti aphunzire za acidity yam'nyanja ku East Africa koyamba. Ntchitoyi imatchedwa kwenikweni "OceAn pH Ryondani Ikugwirizanitsa ndi Cmgwirizano mu Africa - ApHRICA". Olankhula ku msonkhano akuphatikizapo nthumwi ya Sayansi ya White House ku Ocean, Dr. Jane Lubchenco, dr. Roshan Ramessur ku yunivesite ya Mauritius, ndi ophunzitsa sensa ya m'nyanja ndi asayansi Dr. Andrew Dickson wa Mtengo wa UCSD, Dr. Sam Dupont wa University of Gothenburg, ndi James Beck, CEO wa Sunburst Sensors.

ApHRICA Pakhala zaka zambiri zikupanga, kuyambira ndikupanga zida zama sensor zam'madzi za pH, kutenga akatswiri otsogola ndikukweza ndalama kuti abweretse anthu okonda komanso matekinoloje atsopano kuti achitepo kanthu ndikudzaza mipata yomwe ikufunika kwambiri yam'nyanja yam'madzi. July watha, XPRIZE adapatsidwa $2 miliyoni Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE, mpikisano wampikisano wopanga zowunikira za pH zam'madzi kuti mumvetsetse bwino za acidity yam'nyanja. Chaka chimodzi pambuyo pake, gulu lopambana la Sunburst Sensors, kampani yaying'ono ku Missoula, Montana, ikupereka 'iSAMI' pH sensor ya projekitiyi. The iSAMI idasankhidwa chifukwa cha kuthekera kwake, kulondola komanso kosavuta kugwiritsa ntchito. 

"Sunburst Sensors ndiwonyadira komanso okondwa kugwira ntchito imeneyi kukulitsa kuwunika kwa acidity ya nyanja kumayiko aku Africa ndipo, tikukhulupirira, padziko lonse lapansi."

James Beck, CEO wa Sunburst Sensors ndi iSAMI (kumanja) ndi tSAMI (kumanzere), ma sensa awiri opambana a pH a $ 2 miliyoni Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE. iSAMI ndi yosavuta kugwiritsa ntchito, yolondola komanso yotsika mtengo ya pH ya m'nyanja yamchere, yomwe idzatumizidwa ku ApHRICA.

Nyanja ya Indian Ocean ndi malo abwino ochitira projekitiyi osati chifukwa chakhala chinsinsi chodziwika bwino kwa akatswiri a zanyanja, komanso kuwunika kwanthawi yayitali kwa nyengo zanyanja kulibe m'madera ambiri a East Africa. ApHRICA idzalimbitsa kulimba kwa madera a m'mphepete mwa nyanja, kupititsa patsogolo mgwirizano wa nyanja m'derali, ndikuthandizira kwambiri ku Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOAON) kupititsa patsogolo kumvetsetsa ndi kuyankha ku acidification ya m'nyanja. 

“Chakudya cha anthu chikuwopsezedwa chifukwa cha acidity ya m’nyanja. Msonkhanowu ndi gawo lofunika kwambiri pakuwonjezera kufalitsa kwa maukonde athu kuti athe kulosera za acidity yam'nyanja, makamaka m'malo ngati East Africa omwe amadalira kwambiri chuma cham'madzi, koma pakadali pano alibe mphamvu yoyezera momwe zinthu zikuyendera komanso momwe nyanja ikuyendera poyera. nyanja, nyanja zam'mphepete mwa nyanja ndi madera a m'mphepete mwa nyanja."

A Mark J. Spalding, Purezidenti wa The Ocean Foundation, komanso mnzake wofunikira pa ntchitoyi 

Tsiku lililonse, mpweya wochokera ku magalimoto, ndege ndi mafakitale opangira magetsi amawonjezera matani mamiliyoni a carbon munyanja. Zotsatira zake, acidity yam'nyanja yawonjezeka ndi 30% kuyambira nthawi ya Industrial Revolution. Mlingo wa acidity wa m'nyanja wochititsidwa ndi anthu ndi wosayerekezeka ndi mbiri ya Dziko Lapansi. Kusintha kwachangu kwa acidity ya m'nyanja kumayambitsa 'osteoporosis of the sea', kuwononga kwambiri zamoyo zam'madzi monga nthanga, oyisitarandipo miyala yamtengo wapatali zomwe zimapanga zipolopolo kapena zigoba kuchokera ku calcium carbonate.

“Iyi ndi pulojekiti yosangalatsa kwa ife chifukwa itilola kukulitsa luso m’maiko athu kuti tiyang’anire ndi kumvetsetsa mmene madzi a m’nyanja amachuluka. Masensa atsopanowa adzatilola kuti tithandizire pa intaneti padziko lonse lapansi; chinachake chomwe sitinathe kuchita m'mbuyomu. Izi n’zosadabwitsa chifukwa mphamvu za m’madera zophunzirira vutoli n’zofunika kwambiri poonetsetsa kuti chakudya chili m’tsogolo.”

Dr. Roshan Ramessur, Pulofesa Wothandizira wa Chemistry ku yunivesite ya Mauritius, yemwe ali ndi udindo wotsogolera zokambiranazo.

Tikudziwa kuti acidization ya m'nyanja ndiyowopsa kwa zamoyo za m'mphepete mwa nyanja, madera am'mphepete mwa nyanja komanso chuma cha padziko lonse lapansi, komabe tikufunikabe chidziwitso chofunikira chokhudza kusintha kwamadzi am'nyanja kuphatikiza komwe kukuchitika, mpaka pati komanso momwe zimakhudzira. Tiyenera kukulitsa mwachangu kafukufuku wa acidity ya nyanja kumayiko ndi zigawo zambiri padziko lonse lapansi kuchokera ku Coral Triangle kupita ku Latin America mpaka ku Arctic. Nthawi yochitapo kanthu pa acidification ya m'nyanja ndi tsopano, ndipo ApHRICA idzayatsa moto womwe umapangitsa kuti kafukufuku wofunika kwambiri ukule kwambiri. 

Dinani apa kuti muwerenge zofalitsa za US Department of State pa ApHRICA.
