Ukwenza i-Splash ngo-2017

ILETA EVELA UMONGAMELI

Bahlobo abathandekayo bolwandle kunye namanye amalungu e-Ocean Foundation Community, 

Ndinovuyo ukunikezela ngeNgxelo yethu yoNyaka kuNyaka-mali wama-2017 (woku-1 kweyeKhala ngowama-2016 ukuya kowama-30 kweyeSilimela ngowama-2017) – unyaka wethu we-15!  

Okukhankanyiweyo kule ngxelo kugxininiso lwethu oluqhubekayo ekwandiseni amandla ehlabathi ukuqonda nokujongana nomceli mngeni we-ocean acidification (OA), enokuba ngowona mngcipheko mkhulu kwimpilo yolwandle kwaye ngaloo ndlela kubo bonke ubomi emhlabeni. Xa sijonga emva kumsebenzi wonyaka, sinokubona indlela i-Ocean Foundation ixhase ngayo inkqubela phambili kuzo zombini isayensi ukuqonda, kunye nomgaqo-nkqubo wokujongana, le soyikiso. Iqela lethu libonelele ngeendibano zocweyo zokuqeqesha izazinzulu kwisayensi kunye nokubeka iliso kwi-asidi yolwandle kumanzi onxweme lwezizwe zase-Afrika, linikeze ngamathuba olawulo lwe-OA kumazwe ase-US, kwaye longezele kwincoko ye-OA yehlabathi kwi-SDG 14 yokuqala "iNkomfa yoLwandle" kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo eNew York ngoJuni ka-2017. 

Senza imeko yolawulo lomda oguqukayo kunye neentlobo ngexesha lotshintsho olukhawulezayo. Ukusuka kumsebenzi wethu wokukhusela iindlela ezifudukayo zeminenga, ukukhokelela ekuyilweni kweSicwangciso soBugcisa boLwandle lwaseSargasso, nangobudlelwane bethu kunye nokusingathwa kweManyano yoLwandle oluPhezulu, sakha imeko yesi sikhokelo esisebenzayo, esixela kwangaphambili ukuba sibandakanywe I-Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdictions, isixhobo esitsha somthetho se-UN phantsi kothethathethwano. 

Inkqubo yethu yokuKhulisa i-Seagrass (kunye nekhabhoni yokubala eblue yokuphelisa uhambo loluntu lwethu kunye neminye imisebenzi) iyaqhubeka nokubonelela ngemali yokubuyisela amadlelo engca yolwandle. Kwaye, siyaqhubeka nokuxhasa ukukhula kwamashishini alungele ulwandle ngomsebenzi wethu wokunceda ukucacisa iBlue Economy entsha, kunye nokukhuthaza kunye nokwandisa iingxoxo malunga nokuzinza kokutya kwaselwandle ngeNgqungquthela yethu yeSeaWeb Seafood kunye nenkqubo yeeMbasa zeNtshatsheli yeeMbasa zaseLwandle. Bangaphezu kwama-530 ababekho bajoyine iNgqungquthela yezokutya kwaselwandle kaJuni eSeattle, kwaye sicwangcisela nangakumbi kwiNgqungquthela ye-2018 Seafood Summit e-Barcelona ngoJuni ozayo. 

Uluntu lwethu lubona izisongelo kwaye lwamkele izisombululo ezihlonipha iimfuno zolwandle kunye nobomi obungaphakathi, ukwazi ukuba ulwandle olunempilo luxhasa uqoqosho, intlalontle, kunye nentlalontle yoluntu yoluntu, kwaye, ngokwenene, bonke ubomi emhlabeni. Abaphathi beeprojekthi zethu ezisindleke ezingama-50, kunye nabancedisi bethu abaninzi basebenzela ukuphumeza izisombululo ezisekelwe kwimigaqo ephilileyo yenzululwazi kunye nezicwangciso eziliqili. Abanikeli bethu bafuna iindlela zokuxhasa ezona projekthi zibalaseleyo ngezona ndlela zisebenzayo, ezilungiselelwe uluntu, ummandla, okanye kwihlabathi jikelele ekufuneka ziqwalaselwe.  

Bekuya kuba kuhle ukuba bendibhala oku kumxholo wengqiniseko yokuphuculwa okuqhubekayo kobudlelwane boluntu kunye nolwandle kunye nokukhula okuqhubekayo ekuqondeni ukungxamiseka kokunceda amazwe eziqithi kunye noluntu oluselunxwemeni ukwenza konke okusemandleni abo ukulawula ubutyebi bolwandle ngokuzinzileyo. njengokuba izaqhwithi zikhula ngamandla. Iijenali zenzululwazi kunye neendaba zemihla ngemihla zabelana ngezihloko ngokufanayo zibonisa iziphumo zokungajongi ukukhutshwa kwegesi yegreenhouse, ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kweplastiki enye, kunye nonyanzeliso olungafezekanga oluvumela ukwehla okanye nokulahleka kweentlobo ezifana neVaquita porpoise. Izisombululo zixhomekeke kwintsebenziswano eqinile esekelwe kuluhlu olubanzi lweengcebiso zenzululwazi ezisekelwe kakuhle kunye nezicwangciso ezivavanywe kakuhle zokulawula kunye nokulawula imisebenzi yabantu. 

Ngokuphindaphindiweyo, ukusuka kwishishini lokuloba laseMelika ukuya kwiminenga ukuya kwii-surfers kunye nabaselwandle, umgaqo-nkqubo osekelwe kwisayensi uye wahambisa inaliti phambili kwimpilo yolwandle. Lixesha elidlulileyo lokuba uluntu lwethu luncede wonke umntu akhumbule ukuba kubaluleke kangakanani na. Yiyo loo nto, kwi-FY17 sanyusa iSayensi yethu yaseLwandle liphulo lokwenyani lokumela isayensi, kwabo bazinikela kuphando nasekufundiseni isayensi, kunye nogxininiso oluqhubekayo ekusebenziseni eyona nzululwazi ilungileyo ekufuneka siphumeze izisombululo kwiingxaki ezenziwa ngabantu. badale elwandle. 

Ulwandle lubonelela ngeoksijini yethu, luthambisa imozulu yethu, kwaye lubonelela amakhulu ezigidi zabantu ngokutya, imisebenzi kunye nobomi. Isiqingatha sabemi behlabathi sihlala kumgama weekhilomitha ezili-100 ukusuka elunxwemeni. Ukuqinisekisa intlalontle yoluntu lwabantu kunye nobomi ngaphakathi kolwandle lwethu kuthetha ukugxila kwizinto ezilungileyo kakhulu, ukujonga ixesha elide, kunye nokuthintela inzuzo yezoqoqosho yexesha elifutshane ethwala ingozi engapheliyo kwimpilo yolwandle. Lidabi eliqhubekayo. 

Asikaphumeleli okwangoku. Kwaye, asizukuyeka. Uzingiso, ukusebenza nzima, ingqibelelo, kunye nomdlandla zizinto zoluntu lwethu olukhokelela empumelelweni. Ngenkxaso yakho eqhubekayo, siya kwenza inkqubela phambili.

Kulwandle,
Mark J. Spalding, uMongameli
