TOF Ikukulitsa Chidziwitso Pakati pa Atsogoleri A Boma pa Zowopsa Zapadziko Lonse Zomwe Zimayambitsidwa ndi Ocean Acidification

WASHINGTON, DC, January 8, 2020 - Kuyika tsiku lachiwiri la International Ocean Acidification Day of Action, The Ocean Foundation (TOF), mogwirizana ndi kazembe wa New Zealand, adachita msonkhano wa oimira boma kuti alimbikitse kuchitapo kanthu komanso kuyamika mayiko ndi madera omwe adzipereka kuthana ndi vuto lapadziko lonse la acidity ya m'nyanja. Tsiku lochitapo kanthu lidachitika pa 8 Januware kuyimira 8.1, mulingo waposachedwa wa pH wam'nyanja yathu.

Pamwambowu, TOF idatulutsa Ocean Acidification Guidebook For Policymakers, lipoti lathunthu la malamulo okhudza kusintha kwa asidi m'nyanja m'mayiko, m'madera, m'mayiko, ndi m'mayiko ena. Malinga ndi a Alexis Valauri-Orton, woyang'anira Mapulogalamu a TOF, "Cholinga chake ndi kupereka ma templates ndi zitsanzo zomwe zingathandize opanga mfundo kusintha malingaliro kuti agwire ntchito." Monga momwe Valauri-Orton ananenera, “kuchokera pansi pa nthaka mpaka pansi pa pulaneti la buluu, mmene zinthu za m’nyanja zikusintha mofulumira kuposa kale lonse m’mbiri ya dziko lapansi. Ndipo ngakhale kusintha kwa chemistry - komwe kumadziwika kuti ocean acidification (OA) - kungakhale kosawoneka, zotsatira zake sizowoneka. M'malo mwake, nyanja tsopano ili acidic 30% kuposa momwe zinalili zaka 200 zapitazo, ndipo ikupanga acidity mwachangu kuposa nthawi ina iliyonse m'mbiri ya Dziko Lapansi.¹

Pozindikira kuti vutoli lapadziko lonse lapansi likufunika kuchitapo kanthu padziko lonse lapansi, TOF idakhazikitsa tsiku loyamba la International OA Day of Action ku Nyumba ya Sweden mu Januwale 2019. Chochitikacho chinachitika mogwirizana komanso mothandizidwa ndi Boma la Sweden ndi Fiji, omwe utsogoleri wawo umagwirizana. pa kuteteza nyanja kunaphatikizapo kuchititsa msonkhano wa Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 Ocean Conference ku United Nations mu 2017. Kuchoka pa nthawiyi, msonkhano wa chaka chino unali ndi atsogoleri amphamvu kwambiri padziko lapansi omwe ali patsogolo polimbana ndi zotsatira zowonongeka za OA. . Omwe adzakhale nawo chaka chino, New Zealand, akutumikira monga mtsogoleri wa Commonwealth's Blue Charter Action Group on Ocean Acidification, ndipo wapereka ndalama zothandizira kulimba ku OA ku Pacific Islands. Wokamba nkhani mlendo, Jatziri Pando, ndi Chief of Staff of the Committee on Environment, Natural Resources, and Climate Change mu Senate ya Mexico. Komiti ikugwira ntchito ndi TOF kupanga ndondomeko ya ndondomeko ya dziko yophunzirira ndi kuyankha OA ku Mexico.

OA ikuyika chiwopsezo pazamalonda zamalonda zapadziko lonse lapansi (kulima nsomba, nkhono ndi zamoyo zina za m'madzi kuti zikhale chakudya), ndipo, m'kupita kwanthawi, maziko a mndandanda wonse wazakudya zam'madzi kudzera muzowononga zake pazigoba- kupanga zamoyo. Njira zokonzekera zogwirira ntchito ndizofunikira kuti ziphatikize sayansi ndi ndondomeko kuti zithetse vutoli lapadziko lonse lapansi, ndipo pakufunika kwambiri mapulojekiti omwe ateteze thanzi, kuteteza katundu, kuchepetsa kuwonongeka kwa zomangamanga, kusunga malo oberekera nsomba zam'nyanja, komanso kupindulitsa zachilengedwe komanso chuma. . Kuonjezera apo, kukulitsa luso la mabungwe ndi sayansi m'madera omwe ali ndi chidwi chochepetsera chiopsezo ndi chinthu chofunikira kwambiri komanso chofunikira kwambiri pa ndondomeko yolimbana ndi nyengo.

Mpaka pano, TOF yaphunzitsa asayansi mazana awiri ndi opanga ndondomeko pa njira zowunikira ndi kuchepetsa OA, yasonkhanitsa zokambirana zambiri zachigawo ndipo yapereka ndalama zophunzitsira padziko lonse lapansi, m'malo ngati Mauritius, Mozambique, Fiji, Hawaii, Colombia, Panama ndi Mexico. Kuphatikiza apo, TOF yapereka mabungwe ndi mabungwe khumi ndi asanu ndi awiri omwe ali ndi zida zowunikira za acidity ya nyanja padziko lonse lapansi. Mutha kuwerenga zambiri za TOF's International Ocean Acidification Initiative Pano.
