I-NOAA, Iqela leSiseko soLwandle ukuya phambili ukuqhubela phambili isayensi yolwandle

Ubambiswano lujolise ekonyuseni ukuqonda koluntu malunga nolwandlekazi lwehlabathi

NgoJanuwari 5, 2021: I-NOAA namhlanje ibhengeze intsebenziswano kunye ne-Ocean Foundation ukusebenzisana kwiinzame zenzululwazi zamazwe ngamazwe nezelizwe zokuqhubela phambili uphando, ulondolozo kunye nokuqonda kwethu ulwandle lwehlabathi.

"Xa kuziwa ekuqhubeleni phambili isayensi, ulondolozo kunye nokuqonda kwethu ulwandle olungaziwayo ubukhulu becala, i-NOAA izibophelele ekwakheni intsebenziswano eyahlukeneyo kunye nemveliso efana ne-The Ocean Foundation," utshilo u-Admiral wangasemva waseNavy uTim Gallaudet, Ph.D., umncedisi. unobhala wezorhwebo kwiilwandle kunye nomoya kunye nosekela-mlawuli we-NOAA. "Obu budlelwane bunceda ukukhawulezisa ubizo lwe-NOAA lokuqikelela utshintsho kwimozulu, imozulu, ulwandle kunye namanxweme, ukwabelana ngolo lwazi noluntu, ukomeleza uQoqosho oluBlue, kunye nokugcina nokulawula unxweme olusempilweni kunye nendalo yaselwandle kunye nemithombo."

I-NOAA kunye ne-Ocean Foundation basayine imemorandam yesivumelwano ekuqaleni kukaDisemba ukubonelela ngesakhelo sentsebenziswano kumazwe ngamazwe kunye neminye imisebenzi enomdla ofanayo.

Isivumelwano esitsha sigxininisa izinto eziphambili eziphambili kwintsebenziswano kuquka:

• ukuqonda utshintsho lwemozulu kunye ne-asidi yolwandle kunye nefuthe lazo kwiilwandle kunye namanxweme;
• ukwandisa ukomelela konxweme nokomeleza amandla okulungelelaniswa kwemozulu neasidi kunye nokunciphisa;
• ukukhusela kunye nokulawula ilifa lendalo kunye nenkcubeko kwiindawo ezikhethekileyo zaselwandle, kubandakanywa nenkqubo yeSizwe yeNdawo yoLwandle kunye neMikhumbuzo yeSizwe yaseLwandle;
• ukukhuthaza uphando kwiNational Estuarine Research System,
• kunye nokukhuthaza uphuhliso lolondolozo lwendalo yaselwandle yase-US ukuxhasa unxweme olusempilweni, olunemveliso kunye noqoqosho lwengingqi.

“Siyazi ukuba ulwandle olusempilweni 'yinkqubo yokuxhasa ubomi' kwimpilo yabantu, impilo yeplanethi kunye nempumelelo yezoqoqosho,” utshilo uMark J. Spalding, uMongameli weThe Ocean Foundation. "Ubambiswano lwethu kunye ne-NOAA luya kuvumela omabini amaqabane ukuba aqhubeke nobudlelwane bethu bezenzululwazi behlabathi elide kunye nentsebenziswano yophando, kubandakanywa nokwakhiwa kwamandla, okusisiseko sezivumelwano ezisemthethweni zamazwe ngamazwe - into esiyibiza ngokuba yi-diplomacy yesayensi - kunye nokwakha iibhulorho ezilinganayo phakathi koluntu, uluntu. , nezizwe.”

I-Ocean Foundation (TOF) yiWashington, DC-based nonprofit yamazwe ngamazwe isiseko soluntu esizinikele ekuxhaseni, ekomelezeni nasekukhuthazeni imibutho esebenzela ukubuyisela umva umkhwa wokutshatyalaliswa kokusingqongileyo kolwandle kwihlabathi jikelele. Ixhasa izisombululo zolondolozo lolwandle kwihlabathi jikelele, igxile kuyo yonke imiba yolwandle olusempilweni, kwinqanaba lengingqi, lengingqi, lesizwe kunye nehlabathi.

Isivumelwano sakhela phezu kwentsebenziswano ekhoyo phakathi kwe-NOAA kunye neSiseko se-Ocean, ukwandisa amandla enzululwazi kumazwe asaphuhlayo ukuphanda, ukubeka iliso kunye nokujongana nemingeni ye-acidification yolwandle. I Inkqubo ye-NOAA ye-Acidification yoLwandle kwaye ngoku i-TOF ilawula ngokubambisana ingxowa-mali yokufunda ngekota, eyinxalenye ye Uthungelwano lweGlobal Ocean Acidization Observing Network (GOA-ON).

Ezi zifundo zixhasa uphando oludityanisiweyo lwe-acidification yolwandle, uqeqesho kunye neemfuno zokuhamba, ngoko ke izazinzulu ngamakhondo asekuqaleni ezivela kumazwe asakhasayo zinokufumana izakhono kunye namava kubaphandi abangaphezulu. I-TOF kunye ne-NOAA baye basebenzisana kwiminyaka yakutshanje kwiindibano zoqeqesho ezisibhozo ezingaphezu kwe-150 zenzululwazi e-Afrika, eLatin America, kwiZiqithi zePacific, naseCaribbean. Iindibano zocweyo ziye zanceda ukulungiselela abaphandi ukuba baseke ezinye zexesha elide zokubeka iliso kwi-asidi yolwandle kumazwe abo. Ngokuhamba kwe-2020-2023, i-TOF kunye ne-NOAA iya kusebenza kunye ne-GOA-ON kunye namanye amaqabane ukuphumeza inkqubo yokwakha amandla ophando lwe-acidification yolwandle kuwo wonke ummandla we-Pacific Islands, exhaswa ngemali yiSebe leSizwe lase-US.

Ubambiswano lwe-NOAA-TOF lulo lwamva nje kuluhlu lwezesayensi kunye nethekhnoloji entsha yobambiswano I-NOAA idale kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Ubudlelwane bunceda ekuxhaseni Imemo kaMongameli kuMaphu yoLwandle lweMimandla yoQoqosho eKhethekileyo yase-US kunye noNxweme kunye noNxweme olukufutshane lwaseAlaska. kunye neenjongo ezibhengezwe ngoNovemba ka-2019 INgqungquthela yeNdlu eNgcaciso ngeNtsebenziswano kwiNzululwazi yoLwandle kunye neTekhnoloji.

Intsebenziswano inokuxhasa amalinge olwandle olwandle, kubandakanywa I-Nippon Foundation ye-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project ukwenza imephu yolwandle lonke ngo-2030 kunye Ishumi leminyaka leZizwe eziManyeneyo leNzululwazi yoLwandle kuPhuhliso oluZinzileyo.

Olunye ubambiswano oluphambili lwesayensi yolwandle, itekhnoloji, kunye nokufumanisa kubandakanya abo bane Imbuyekezo Vulcan Inc., ICaladan Oceanic,Viking, OceanX, I-Ocean Infinity, Schmidt Ocean Institute, yaye Iziko leScripps soLwandlekazi.
