Kusuma: Iyo Community Ocean Engagement Global Initiative

Imwe yendangariro dzangu dzepakutanga-tanga dzekutora chikamu muchirongwa chedzidzo yemugungwa yaive mumusasa wegiredhi rechitanhatu paCatalina Island Marine Institute, chikoro cheSTEM-chekunze chinopa dzidzo yesainzi yemugungwa kuvadzidzi vepuraimari, vepakati, uye vekusekondari. 

Mukana wekuenda kunzvimbo yechitsuwa nevandinodzidza navo nevadzidzisi - uye kutora chikamu mumarabhoritari esainzi, kukwirisa ecology, snorkeling husiku, mafungu emvura, uye zvimwe zviitiko - zvaisakanganwika, pamwe nekunetsa, zvinonakidza, nezvimwe. Ini ndinotenda apa ndipo pakatanga pfungwa yangu yegungwa kuverenga.

Mumakore achangopfuura, kukanganisa kwakasiyana uye kwepasirese kwedenda reCCIDID-19, kushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze, uye zvimwe zvinhu zvakaunza kutarisisa kusaenzana kwagara kuripo munharaunda yedu. Dzidzo yezvikepe zvemugungwa haina kudaro. Tsvagiridzo yakaratidza kuwana ruzivo rwemugungwa sendima yekudzidza uye inoshanda nzira yebasa yakambove isina kuenzana. Kunyanya kune vanhu vemunyika nevashoma.

Iyo Community Ocean Engagement Global Initiative

Tinoda kuona kuti nharaunda yezvidzidzo zvemugungwa inoratidza huwandu hwakafara hwemaonero emahombekombe nemakungwa, hunhu, manzwi, uye tsika dziripo pasirese. Naizvozvo tinodada nekutanga chirongwa chedu chitsva, cheCommunity Ocean Engagement Global Initiative (COEGI), nhasi paWorld Ocean Day 2022.

COEGI yakazvipira kutsigira kusimudzirwa kwevatungamiriri venharaunda dzedzidzo yemugungwa uye kupa vadzidzi veese mazera kuti vashandure ruzivo rwegungwa kuita kuchengetedza. 

TOF's ocean literacy approach inotarisa tariro, chiito, uye kuchinja kwemaitiro, musoro wakaoma wakakurukurwa nemutungamiri weTOF Mark J. Spalding Blog yedu muna 2015. Chiono chedu ndechekugadzira mukana wakaenzana wezvirongwa zvedzidzo yegungwa uye mabasa pasi rese. Kunyanya kuburikidza nekupa mazano, kudzidza chaiko, kuvandudzwa kwevashandi, dzidzo yeruzhinji, uye kuvandudzwa kwekharikhulamu,

Ndisati ndajoina TOF, ndakashanda kweanopfuura makore gumi semudzidzisi wemugungwa Ocean Connectors.

Ndakabatsira kubatanidza vadzidzi 38,569 K-12 muU.S. uye muMexico muzvidzidzo zvomugungwa, kugadzirisa nzvimbo yekugara, uye varaidzo yemahombekombe. Ndakazvionera ndega kushomeka kwedzidzo yakavakirwa mugungwa, kudzidza kwakashandiswa, uye kubvunza sainzi muzvikoro zveveruzhinji - Kunyanya munharaunda dzine mari shoma. Uye ndakanakidzwa nekugadzirisa gap re "zivo-chiito". Izvi zvinopa chimwe chezvipingamupinyi zvakakosha kubudiriro yechokwadi muchikamu chekuchengetedzwa kwemakungwa.

Ndakafemerwa kuti ndienderere mberi nedzidzo yangu nekupinda chikoro paScripps Institution of Oceanography. Apa ndipo pandakava nemukana wekudzokera kuCatalina Island zvakare kekutanga kubva mugiredhi rechitanhatu. Kudzokera kunzvimbo chaiyo yakanyandura fariro yangu yokutanga musayenzi yomugungwa kwakanga kuri chinjo nokuda kwangu. Kufamba nekayaking, kusvusvudzira, uye kuitisa zvidzidzo nevamwe vadzidzi veScripps paCatalina Island zvakamutsa kushamisika kumwe chete kwandakaita ndichiri muduku.

Kuburikidza neCOEGI, ndiwo chaiwo mhando dzemikana yedzidzo yekudzidzira yatinotarisira kuunza kune avo vagara vasina ruzivo, kuwana, kana kumiririra mundima yekudzidza kwemakungwa kana sainzi dzemugungwa zvakazara. Ndinoziva pachangu kuti kurudziro, kufara, uye kubatana kunobva panguva idzi kunogona kunyatso shandura hupenyu.
