Izinto eziphambili eziThathayo kwiNgxelo yethu yoNyaka entsha: Amanyathelo ethu

Ingxelo yethu yonyaka entsha - eqaqambisa uhlaziyo ukusuka ngomhla woku-1 kuJulayi, 2021 ukuya kumhla wama-30 kuJuni, ngo-2022 - iphume ngokusesikweni! 

Lo ibingunyaka omkhulu wemali kuthi. Songeze a inyathelo elitsha igxile kulwazi lokufunda nolwandle. Saqhubeka nokugxila kwethu idiplomacy yesayensi yolwandle kunye nokuxhasa uluntu lweziqithi. Sakhula wethu ukomelela kwemozulu sisebenze, sibeke imiba yethu kwiSivumelwano seHlabathi ngcoliseko lwe plastiki, kwaye walwela amandla alinganayo acidification ulwandle Iliso. Kwaye, siye sabhiyozela iminyaka engama-20 yolondolozo lwaselwandle kwi-The Ocean Foundation.

Njengoko sijonga emva ekukhuleni kwethu, sivuya kakhulu kukubona oko sikwenzayo kwiminyaka ezayo. Thatha ujongo kumanyathelo ethu angundoqo olondolozo oluphuma kwingxelo yethu yonyaka ngezantsi.

Ukubeka isiseko kuNyaka wokuQala weCOEGI

UFrances Lang uye wakhokela ekusungulweni kwethu njengegosa lenkqubo yeCOEGI. Ebesoloko ezoba kwimvelaphi yakhe njengotitshala waselwandle kunye nenkqubo ekhokela iprojekthi yethu exhaswa ngemali, i-Ocean Connectors. Kwaye icandelo lokufunda le-COEGI ligxile kwiqonga le-intanethi I-AquaOptimism.

Ukusebenzisana nePier2Peer

Sisebenzisa ubudlelwane bethu bexesha elide kunye Pier2Peer ukugaya abacebisi nabacebisi abavela kwiimvelaphi ezahlukeneyo. Oku kuya kusinceda sakhe uthungelwano olomeleleyo lwemfundo yaselwandle kunye neengcali zenzululwazi yezentlalo.

Abafundisi baseLwandle badinga uVavanyo loLuntu

Besiqhuba uphando kunye nodliwano-ndlebe ukuqonda iinkqubo ezixhasayo - kunye nezithintelo ezithintela - uphuhliso lwabasebenzi kubafundisi baselwandle kwiCaribbean ngokubanzi.

Oorhulumente, imibutho, amaqumrhu, kunye noluntu bebesoloko bejikeleza bejongana nalo lonke ikhonkco lexabiso leplastiki ngesivumelwano sehlabathi. Kwaye njengoMjongi ovunyiweyo ongekho phantsi kukarhulumente kwiNkqubo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo zokusiNgqongileyo (UNEP), i-Ocean Foundation ibe lilizwi labo babelana ngeembono zethu kulo mlo.

INkomfa yaBaphathiswa kuLitha lwaseLwandle kunye noNgcoliseko lwePlastiki

Siye sazimasa iNkomfa yaBaphathiswa kuLitha lwaseLwandle kunye noNgcoliseko lwePlastiki ngoSeptemba 2021, ukwenza iingcebiso ezibambekayo zesivumelwano seplastiki sehlabathi jikelele kwi-UNEA 5.2 ngoFebruwari 2022. Amagosa karhulumente angama-72 avume iNgxelo yoMphathiswa ebonisa ukuzibophelela kwawo ekuxhaseni ukusekwa kweKomiti yoThethathethwano phakathi kooRhulumente. .

I-UNEA 5.2

Ukuqhubela phambili neengxoxo zethu zezivumelwano, siye sazimasa iSeshini yeSihlanu yeNdibano yezokusiNgqongileyo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo njengoMkhi-mkhanyo ovunyiweyo. Sikwazile ukuthatha inxaxheba ngokubonakalayo kwiingxoxo zesigunyaziso esitsha. Kwaye, ukuvunywa kwesigunyaziso ngoorhulumente ngoku kuvumela uthethathethwano olusesikweni lwe isivumelwano songcoliseko lweplastiki ukuqalisa.

Ingqungquthela yePlastiki yeHlabathi

Sidibene kunye neenkokeli zophando zehlabathi kwiNgqungquthela yokuqala yePlastiki yeHlabathi eMonaco. Kwabelwana ngezimvo kwiingxoxo zothethathethwano ezizayo zomnqophiso.

Uzakuzo waseNorway Plastics Event

Ukuxoxa ngakumbi malunga nokubonelela ngesivumelwano seplastiki sehlabathi, sisebenze noNozakuzaku waseNorway e-DC ukuze sibize iinkokeli kurhulumente wonke, uluntu, kunye neshishini kulo Epreli odlulileyo. Sibambe umcimbi wePlastiki apho u-Erica Nuñez wathetha nge-UNEA 5.2. Kwaye ezinye izithethi zethu zinike ulwazi malunga nokujongana nongcoliseko lweplastiki.

Ukubonelela ngeZixhobo eziFikelelekayo

Siqhubekile nobudlelwane bethu noGqr Burke Hales kunye ne I-Alutiiq Pride Marine Institute kwi-sensor yexabiso eliphantsi, i-pCO₂ Thogo. INtlanganiso yeNzululwazi yoLwandle lwama-2022 yayilixesha lokuqala sibonisa inzwa yethu entsha kwaye saqaqambisa ukusetyenziswa kwayo kwiindawo eziselunxwemeni.

Ukuxhasa ubuNkokheli beNdawo kwiZiqithi zePasifiki

Ngokubambisana ne-NOAA - kunye nenkxaso evela kwiSebe likaRhulumente wase-US - siqalise iziko loqeqesho lwengingqi esisigxina eSuva, eFiji ukwakha amandla okujongana ne-OA kwiiPacific Islands. Iziko elitsha, i-Pacific Islands Ocean Acidification Centre (PIOAC), ngumzamo odibeneyo okhokelwa yi-Pacific Community, iYunivesithi yaseSouth Pacific, iYunivesithi yaseOtago, kunye neNew Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research. 

Kunye nePIOAC kunye ne-NOAA, kunye nentsebenziswano ne-IOC-UNESCO's OceanTeacher Global Academy, siye sakhokela ikhosi yoqeqesho ye-OA ekwi-intanethi yabathathi-nxaxheba abangama-248 abasuka kuzo zonke iZiqithi zePasifiki. Abo bagqiba ikhosi baxhotyiswe ngolawulo oluphambili lwedatha kunye neendlela zokusetyenziswa ezivela kwiingcali zehlabathi. Bafanele ukufaka isicelo sekiti yezixhobo zokubeka iliso kwaye baqhubeke noqeqesho olusebenzayo ePIOAC kulo nyaka uzayo.

Ukuvala uMsantsa phakathi kweNzululwazi kunye noMgaqo-nkqubo

COP26

Ngentsebenziswano ne-OA Alliance, siye sabamba ucweyo olukwi-intanethi “ngeMozulu, iZilwanyana zeNdalo, kunye noKhuseleko lwaseLwandle eLatin America” phambi kwe-COP26 ngo-Okthobha ukushwankathela izibophelelo zenyathelo lemozulu yolwandle olwenziwe eLatin America. Ngomhla wesi-5 kweyeNkanga, sikwamanyene ne-One Ocean Hub kunye ne-OA Alliance ukuze sibambe ngokubambisana “Uphononongo loBuchule boMthetho noMgaqo-nkqubo neNkqubo-sikhokelo yokuJongana noTshintsho loLwandle oluNxulumene neMozulu” ngoSuku lwe-UNFCCC COP26 lweMozulu noLawulo.

UVavanyo lokuba sesichengeni ePuerto Rico

Njengoko iimeko zolwandle ezijikeleze iPuerto Rico ziqhubeleka nokutshintsha kakhulu, siye sasebenzisana neYunivesithi yaseHawai'i kunye nePuerto Rico Sea Grant ukukhokela iprojekthi yovavanyo lokuba sesichengeni. Olu luvavanyo lokuqala lwe-NOAA ye-Acidification ye-Acidification ye-Ocean-exhaswa ngemali yengingqi yokuhlola ukuba semngciphekweni ukuze kugxininiswe kummandla wase-US. Iya kugqama njengomzekelo wemizamo yexesha elizayo.

Ukwakha ukuZinzisa elunxwemeni eMexico

Ukubuyisela i-hydrology ye-ecosystem ye-Xcalak yonxweme, siqalise iprojekthi yokuphucula indawo yokuhlala esekelwe kuluntu ukuze sincede i-mangroves yayo ihlume kwakhona. Ukusukela ngoMeyi ka-2021-2022, siqokelele idatha esisiseko yento esiyiqikelele ukuba iya kuba ngumzamo wekhabhoni yeshumi leminyaka.

A $1.9M Win for Caribbean Ecosystems

NgoSeptemba 2021, i-TOF kunye namaqabane ethu aseCaribbean aye inikwe isibonelelo esikhulu se-$1.9 evela kwiCaribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF). Le ngxowa-mali inkulu iya kusinceda ukuba siqhube izisombululo ezisekelwe kwindalo kwiminyaka emithathu eCuba naseDominican Republic.

Ucweyo lwethu lokuZimela eluNxwemeni kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican

NgoFebruwari 2022, sabamba a iworkshop yokubuyisela i-coral eBayahibe – ixhaswa ngemali yigranti yethu yeCBF. Nge-FUNDEMAR, i-SECORE International, kunye neYunivesithi yaseHavana yeZiko loPhando lwaseLwandle, sigxininise kwiindlela zenoveli zembewu ye-coral kunye nendlela izazinzulu ezivela e-DR kunye neCuba ezinokubandakanya ezi ndlela.

Ukufakwa kweSargassum kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican, eSt. Kitts, naNgaphesheya

Besele sihambela phambili iteknoloji yokufaka ikhabhoni kwiCaribbean. Ngoncedo lwegranti yeCBF, iqela lethu lasekuhlaleni liqhube ulingo lwesibini nolwesithathu eSt. Kitts naseNevis.

Umbutho oMtsha weeNzululwazi zabemi eCuba

Ipaki yeSizwe yaseGuanahacabibes (GNP) yenye yezona ndawo zikhuselweyo zaselwandle ezinkulu zaseCuba. Ngesibonelelo sethu se-CBF, sigxile ekubuyiselweni kwe-mangrove, ukubuyisela iikorale, kunye nokufakwa kwekhabhoni.

Jardines de la Reina, kude nonxweme olusemazantsi eCuba, iquka iingqaqa zekorale, ingca yolwandle, kunye nemithi ye<em>mangrove. Ngo-2018, siye sadibana neYunivesithi yaseHavana kwimizamo yeminyaka emininzi: ukubhala iikholoni eziphilileyo ze-elkhorn coral eJardines, ukudala iqonga lokufikelela abantu abahlukeneyo kunye nabalobi, kunye nokubuyisela iikholoni kwiindawo ezihlala zihlala.

Ikhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ePuerto Rico

Vieques: Ukugqibezela iProjekthi yethu yokuLingwa

Kulo nyaka, sigxininise kwisicwangciso sokuvavanya kunye nokubuyisela kwi-Vieques Bioluminescent Bay Natural Reserve, elawulwa yi-Vieques Conservation and Historical Trust kunye neSebe leMithombo yeNdalo kunye neNdalo. Sityelele i-Vieques ngoNovemba 2021 kwiworkshop yokusasaza iziphumo, kunye nokuxoxa ngeziphumo zovavanyo.

Jobos Bay: Ukubuyiselwa kweMangrove

Ukulandela iprojekthi yethu yokulinga yokubuyisela imimango kuJobos Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (JBNERR) ukusuka ngowama-2019 ukuya kowama-2020, sigqibe ulwakhiwo lwendawo yokugcina iimangrove ebomvu. Indawo yokugcina abantwana inamandla okukhulisa ngaphezulu kwe-3,000 yemithi emincinci ye-mangrove ngonyaka.
