Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOAON) ine fungidziro nenzvimbo dze'ApHRICA', chirongwa chekuyedza kuendesa masensor epH yemugungwa muSouth Africa, Mozambique, Seychelles, neMauritius kekutanga. Iyi purojekiti mubatanidzwa weveruzhinji newakavanzika wekuzadza mapeji ekutsvagisa kweasidhi yegungwa muEast Africa inosanganisira Dhipatimendi reNyika reUS, Ocean Foundation, Heising-Simons Foundation, Schmidt Marine Technology Partners, uye XPRIZE Foundation uye akasiyana masangano ekutsvagisa.

Vhiki rino rinotanga musangano unotyisa uye purojekiti yekuyedza yekumisikidza ma sensor egungwa muMauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles neSouth Africa kuti vadzidze kusvibiswa kwegungwa muEast Africa kekutanga. Iyo purojekiti inodaidzwa chaizvo “OceAn pH Research Ikusangana uye Ckubatana mu Africa - ApHRICA". Vatauri vemusangano vanosanganisira mumiriri weWhite House Science muOcean, Dr. Jane Lubchenco, dr. Roshan Ramessur paYunivhesiti yeMauritius, uye vadzidzisi vegungwa sensor uye masayendisiti Dr. Andrew Dickson we UCSD, Dr. Sam Dupont weYunivhesiti yeGothenburg, uye James Beck, CEO weSunburst Sensors.

ApHRICA Pave nemakore mukugadzira, kutanga nekugadzira ecean pH sensor maturusi, kuita nyanzvi dzinotungamira uye kusimudza mari yekuunza vanhu vanofarira uye matekinoroji matsva pamwechete kutora danho uye kuzadza zvakanyanya-inodiwa data data yegungwa. Nyamavhuvhu apfuura, XPRIZE akapa the $2 miriyoni Wendy Schmidt Ocean Hutano XPRIZE, mubairo wemakwikwi ekugadzira budiriro yegungwa pH sensors kuvandudza kunzwisisa kwegungwa acidification. Kwapera gore, timu yakahwina Sunburst Sensors, kambani diki muMissoula, Montana, iri kupa yavo 'iSAMI' yegungwa pH sensor yeprojekti iyi. The iSAMI yakasarudzwa nekuda kwekukwanisa kwayo kusati kwamboitika, huchokwadi uye nyore kushandisa. 

"Sunburst Sensors inodada uye inofara kushanda mukuedza uku kuwedzera kutariswa kweasidhi yegungwa kumarudzi eAfrica uye pakupedzisira, isu tinovimba, kutenderera pasirese."

James Beck, CEO weSunburst Sensors ane iSAMI (kurudyi) uye tSAMI (kuruboshwe), maviri anohwina egungwa pH sensors emadhora mazana maviri emadhora Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE. Iyo iSAMI iri nyore kushandisa, yakarurama uye inokwanisika yegungwa pH sensor, iyo ichaiswa muApHRICA.

Iyo Indian Ocean inzvimbo yakakodzera yeiyi chirongwa chekuyedza kwete chete nekuti chave kwenguva refu chakavanzika kune vanoongorora makungwa, asiwo kwenguva refu yekutarisa mamiriro egungwa ari kushomeka munzvimbo zhinji dzeEast Africa. ApHRICA ichasimbisa kusimba kwenharaunda dzemahombekombe, kuvandudza kubatana kwemakungwa munharaunda, uye kubatsira zvakanyanya kune Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOAON) kuvandudza kunzwisisa uye kupindura kune acidification yegungwa. 

“Zviwanikwa zvechikafu zvemunharaunda zviri kutyisidzirwa nekuwanda kweasidhi yemugungwa. Wekishopu iyi idanho rakakosha mukuwedzera kuvharirwa kwetiweki yedu kufanotaura kusvibiswa kwegungwa, kunyanya munzvimbo yakaita seEast Africa inovimba zvakasimba nezviwanikwa zvemugungwa, asi parizvino isina simba rekuyera chimiro uye kufambira mberi kweasidhi yegungwa pachena. gungwa, gungwa regungwa uye nzvimbo dzezvitsuwa."

Mark J. Spalding, Mutungamiriri weThe Ocean Foundation, uye akakosha mubatsiri pachirongwa ichi 

Zuva rega rega, zvinobuda mumotokari, ndege uye zvidyarwa zvemagetsi zvinowedzera mamiriyoni ematani ecarbon mugungwa. Nekuda kweizvozvo, acidity yegungwa yakawedzera 30% kubva kuRevolution Revolution. Mwero weiyi acidization yegungwa yakakonzerwa nevanhu inogona kunge isingaenzaniswi munhoroondo yePasi. Iko kukurumidza kuchinja kweasidhi yegungwa kuri kukonzera 'osteoporosis yegungwa', kuwedzera kukuvadza zvipenyu zvemugungwa se plankton, oysters, uye nekorari izvo zvinogadzira makungu kana skeletons kubva ku calcium carbonate.

“Ichi chirongwa chinotinakidza zvikuru nekuti chichatipa mukana wekuti tivakire hunyanzvi munyika dzedu dzekutarisa nekunzwisisa kusvibiswa kwemakungwa. Iwo ma sensors matsva anotitendera kuti tibatsire kune network yepasi rose; chimwe chinhu chatisina kukwanisa kuita kare. Izvi zvinokatyamadza nekuti kugona kwedunhu kudzidza nezvedambudziko iri ndiko kwakavakirwa pakuchengetedza ramangwana redu rekudya. ”

Dr. Roshan Ramessur, Associate Purofesa weChemistry paYunivhesiti yeMauritius, ane basa rekuronga musangano wekudzidzisa.

Isu tinoziva kuti acidization yegungwa ityisidzira kune zvipenyu zvegungwa, nharaunda dzemahombekombe uye hupfumi hwenyika, asi isu tichiri kuda ruzivo rwakakosha nezve shanduko idzi mukemikari yemugungwa kusanganisira kwazviri kuitika, kusvika papi uye nekukanganisa kwayo. Tinofanira kukurumidza kuyera tsvagiridzo yeasidhi yegungwa kune dzimwe nyika uye matunhu pasi rose kubva kuCoral Triangle kuenda kuLatin America kusvika kuArctic. Nguva yekuita pagungwa acidification ikozvino, uye ApHRICA ichavhenekera spark inoita kuti tsvakiridzo yakakosha iyi ikure zvakanyanya. 

Dzvanya apa kuti uverenge kuburitswa kwenhau kweDhipatimendi reNyika reUS paApHRICA.
