Vanhu Vakafuridzirwa Vanokurudzira

Munyori: Mark J. Spalding, Mutungamiriri

Ndichangodzoka kubva kumazuva mana nehafu muCalifornia. Ndinofarira kudzokera kunoshanyira nyika yangu uye kuona zvinoonekwa zvakajairika, kunhuwidza kukwesha kwemahombekombe, kunzwa gull richidana uye masaisai anorovera, uye kufamba mamaira pamhenderekedzo yegungwa mangwanani.

Mazuva maviri ekutanga, ndaiva muLaguna Beach ndichienda kugungano Surfrider Foundation's musangano wedare revatungamiriri. Misangano yebhodhi yemasangano asingabatsiri inonetsa nekuti unoteerera sezvo vashandi nevakuru vanokuudza nezvebasa guru resangano riri kuitwa nemari shoma. Mwoyo wangu unokwezvwa nekuzvipira kwakaitwa nevashandi kuti vashande maawa asingaverengeki vachimiririra gungwa redu, mahombekombe nemahombekombe kuburikidza nezvitsauko zvakawanda zvevazvipiri, kuchenesa mabhichi kwakawanda kupfuura rimwe sangano ripi neripi, uye makumi ekukunda kwemutemo nemutemo pagore. Vaya vedu vanoshanda muDare vazvipiri, tinozvibhadharira mari kuti tipinde misangano, uye tose tinovimbisa kutsigira sangano munzira ipi neipi yatinogona.

Pakapera musangano weBhodi neSvondo, ndakatyaira kuLa Jolla ndikagara pasi naMargaret Leinen, Mutungamiriri weScripps Institution of Oceanography naDean Peter Cowhey veChikoro cheUCSD cheGlobal Policy & Strategy (neaimbova mushandirwi wangu) kuti titaure. nezve zvimwe zvingaitwe kuita UCSD yegungwa sainzi mukutsigira mutemo waizodzivirira mahombekombe edu nenyanza.

Ndakafara kuva nemukana wekuita masangano ekupa mazano kune mumwe-on-one nevadzidzi vari muSIO Master of Advanced Studies chirongwa vari kushanda pakubatana pakati pesainzi yegungwa uye mutemo wehurumende. Mumwe nemumwe wavo ave kuda kutanga chirongwa chinonakidza chepamusoro chedhigirii ratenzi wavo. Misoro yakasiyana-siyana yaisanganisira kunzwisisa kutengeswa kwakananga kwehove nevabati vehove mukufamba kwechikafu chenzvimbo, kurongeka kwehove, kududzirwa kwezviunganidzwa paSIO, uye kusikwa kwerwendo rwechokwadi rwemareef kuti ashandiswe pakudzidzisa kuchengetedza, kudzidzira scuba uye kufanana. Vamwe vaifunga nezve algae uye kugona kushandisa algae kutsiva petroleum-based components mukugadzira surfboards. Mumwe mudzidzi ari kuzoenzanisa misika yeMaine lobster uye spiny lobster, kusanganisira ketani yekugovera. Imwezve yaishandira ecotourism, imwe pakubata kwekubata hove uye zvirongwa zvevacherechedzi, uye imwe pane gakava, uye pamwe isingagadzirike dambudziko rekubata hove muGulf yeCalifornia yepamusoro iyo inopokana nekuchengetedzwa kweVaquita porpoise. Chekupedzisira asi chisiri chidiki ndiye mudzidzi ari kutarisa ramangwana rehupiro hunotsigira tsvakiridzo yesainzi yemugungwa. Ndine rukudzo rwekuva sachigaro wekomiti yake kwemwedzi mina inotevera kusvika dombo rake repamusoro rapera.

NeMuvhuro manheru ndakakokwa naDean Cowhey kuti ndiuye kuHerb York Memorial Lecture yakapihwa naJohn Holdren Director weHofisi yeSainzi neTekinoroji Policy muWhite House. Basa raDr. Holdren uye kubudirira kwaakaita zvakawanda, uye basa rake muutongi uhwu rinoyemurika. Zvakaitwa neDhipatimendi mune sainzi uye tekinoroji zvinoumba budiriro isina kuimbwa nyaya. Mushure mehurukuro yake, ndakave nerukudzo rwekubatanidzwa muboka diki repedyo rakaenderera mberi nenhaurirano dzakatenderedza nyaya dzesainzi uye tekinoroji pakudya kwemanheru. 

NeChipiri pakakokwa vadzidzi veMasters paScripps, ndakapa hurukuro yangu pablue carbon inonzi “Poop, Roots, and Deadfall: The Story of Blue Carbon.” Iyo arc yenyaya yaive yebhuruu kabhoni tsananguro uye akasiyana masisitimu ekuti inoshanda sei; kutyisidzira kune iyi inoshamisa kabhoni sink chikamu chegungwa redu repasi rose; mhinduro dzekudzorera kugona kwegungwa kutora kabhoni kubva mumhepo; uye kuchengetwa kwenguva refu kweiyo kabhoni munyanza yakadzika uye marara ari pasi pegungwa. Ndakabata rimwe rebasa redu pachedu kuburikidza nekudzoreredza huswa hwegungwa, certification ye sequestration calculation methodology, uye kugadzira kwedu SeaGrass Kura kabhoni offset Calculator. Ndakaedza kuisa zvese izvi mumamiriro ezvinhu epasi rose uye epamba bumbiro remitemo rakagadzirirwa kutsigira iyi pfungwa yeblue carbon sequestration. Ini, hongu, handina kuregeredza kutaura aya masisitimu echisikigo anopawo nzvimbo yakanaka yekugara, pamwe nekudzikisira kwedutu kuchengetedza nzvimbo dzedu dzekugara dzevanhu pamhenderekedzo.

Pakupera kwezuva, vadzidzi vakanga varonga mabiko murutivi rwokuti maita basa nokuda kwezano uye hurukuro yeblue carbon. Mumwe wevadzidzi veazvino masters akati kwandiri "unofanirwa kunge waneta" mushure memazuva ano ane zviitiko. Ndakamupindura kuti vanhu vakafemerwa vanokurudzira, kuti pakupera kwezuva ndakanzwa kuti ndawana simba; ndisina kubviswa kwandiri. Iri ndiro chikomborero chekuva chikamu cheThe Ocean Foundation nharaunda - vanhu vazhinji vakafemerwa vanoita basa rinokurudzira vachimiririra rutsigiro rwehupenyu hwenyika: gungwa redu. 

Tarisa mharidzo yaMark kuCentre for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation at Scripps, "Poop, Roots and Deadfall: Nyaya yeBlue Carbon." Ita shuwa yekutarisa hafu yekupedzisira yeinobata Q & A chikamu.
