Kunyaka omnye kamva

Enkosi! Sisikhumbuzo sonyaka omnye we-Ocean Leadership Fund!

Sinyuse ngaphezulu kweedola ezingama-835,000 kubantu kunye nakwiziseko zokuxhasa eyona ndima ibalulekileyo “eyongeziweyo kwixabiso” edlalwa yi-Ocean Foundation kulondolozo lolwandle.

I-Ocean Leadership Fund ivumela iqela lethu ukuba liphendule kwiimfuno ezingxamisekileyo, longeze ixabiso elingaphaya kweedola zezibonelelo zethu, kwaye lifumane izisombululo ezixhasa impilo kunye nokuzinza kolwandle lwehlabathi.

Ukuphumeza oku siye sahlulahlula inkcitho yale ngxowa-mali ngokweendidi ezintathu zemisebenzi:
1. Ukwakha isakhono soluntu lolondolozo lwaselwandle
2. Ukuphucula ulawulo nolondolozo lolwandle
3. Ukuqhuba uphando kunye nokwabelana ngolwazi

Phakathi kwezintlu zintathu zemisebenzi yeOLF, nalu uluhlu oluyinxenye lwento esiye sakwazi ukuyenza kunyaka wokuqala:

Isakhono sokwakha
•Kuye kwiintlanganiso, kuhlaziywe uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali kunye nezicwangciso zokusebenza, ukwabelana ngobuchule kwiintetho ezisesikweni nezingekho sesikweni: Grupo Tortuguero de las Californias (uMongameli weBhodi), i-Science Exchange (iLungu leKomiti yeeNgcebiso), u-EcoAlianza de Loreto (iLungu leKomiti yeeNgcebiso), i-Alcosta ( ILungu loMdibaniso), kunye neZiko leNtsebenziswano yeeLwandle, iMozulu noKhuseleko (iLungu leBhodi yeeNgcebiso)
•Yenza iphulo lophuhliso lokhenketho oluzinzileyo lwe-Eco-Alianza
•Uncediswe ekudaleni nasekufakeni umboniso wexeshana [ngolwaphulo-mthetho oluchasene] neLifa leMveli leNkcubeko yaNgaphantsi kwamanzi kwiMyuziyam yeSizwe yoLwaphulo-mthetho & Izohlwayo.

Ukuphucula uLawulo loLwandle kunye noLondolozo
•Uncedise ukuququzelela nokukhokela intsebenziswano yabaxhasi egxile kwi-Ocean Acidification, kuquka nokubhala isicwangciso sobuchule kunye nohlahlo lwabiwo-mali.
•Ucetyiswe kwaye usebenzisane nemibutho engekho phantsi kukarhulumente kuLwandle oluPhezulu kunye nezicwangciso zeCaribbean malunga neminenga kunye neeNdawo eziKhuselweyo zeMammal zaseLwandle
•Ucetyiswe abameli bakarhulumente waseYurophu malunga nenkcazo kunye nomxholo weSigqibo esicetywayo seZizwe eziManyeneyo esinxulumene nezilwanyana ezincancisayo zaselwandle, ngakumbi ukuloba iminenga kwiilwandle eziphakamileyo.
•Ibe negalelo ngakumbi ekusekweni kweAgoa Marine Mammal Sanctuary; Ipaseji yokufuduka yaselwandle ekhuselweyo esuka eFlorida isiya eBrazil kwiindidi ezingama-21 njengeminenga eyiHumpback, iminenga ebizwa ngokuba yiSperm whales, idolphin enamabala, ihlengesi likaFraser, kunye neminenga eyipilot
•Ukomelezwa kunye nokukhuthaza i-Western Hemisphere Migratory Species Initiative (WHMSI), ngakumbi kwicandelo lolwandle.
•Usebenze njengeLungu leKomiti yoCwangciso lweSimpoziyam yeeFudo zaseLwandle yaMazwe ngaMazwe ngo-Epreli ka-2011, eyayidibanisa ngaphezu kwe-1000 yoosonzululwazi bofudo lwaselwandle, amatsha ntliziyo, ootitshala kunye nabanye abavela kwihlabathi liphela.
•Ngelixa esebenza njengoSihlalo woCwangciso lweNgqungquthela yeNzululwazi yoLondolozo eyayibanjelwe eLoreto ngoMeyi ka-2011, ihlanganise abantu abaphambili abasebenza ukufunda nokukhusela indalo esingqongileyo ye-peninsula yase-Baja California kunye noLwandle lwaseCortes.

Ukuqhuba uphando kunye nokwabelana ngolwazi
• Ulwazi ekwabelwana ngalo malunga neendlela ezinobuchule nezisebenzayo zolondolozo lolwandle, njengokuthatyathwa kwekhabhoni kwindalo eselwandle equka ingca yolwandle, imigxobhozo kunye neemangroves, (ezaziwa ngokuba yi “blue carbon”), kuqukwa nesishwankathelo seSebe leSizwe lase-US, nakwi-Eye kwiNgqungquthela yoMhlaba e-Abu Dhabi
•Kunikwe ipaneli kuqoqosho lonxweme kwiNgqungquthela yeBlue Vision ka-2011 eWashington, DC
•Wenze inkcazo-ntetho ekudibaneni kolawulo, unyanzeliso, kunye nenzululwazi kwiSimpoziyam yeSayensi yoLondolozo lwaseMntla-ntshona weMexico yowama-2011 eLoreto, eBaja California Sur, eMexico.
•Inikelwe “ngobubele babakhenkethi” kwiNgqungquthela ye-CREST ka-2011 kuKhenketho oluXanduvayo (eCosta Rica) nakwintlanganiso yonyaka ye-International Ecotourism Society (South Carolina)
•Kwabelwana ngophando lwe-TOF malunga nokulondolozwa kwezilwanyana zasemanzini, kunye nokudityaniswa kwayo kuphuhliso loqoqosho loluntu
•Isebenza njengomhloli woontanga “Amanzi aneNgxaki: Indlela ukuLahlwa kweNkunkuma yaseMgodini okutyhefa ngayo iiLwandle, imilambo kunye namachibi ethu”
•Wabhala isahluko esithi “Yintoni Inkxaso-mali Enempumelelo?” kwiNcwadana yoPhilanthropy yabahambi, ed. UMartha Honey (2011)
•Phanda kwaye wabhala amanqaku apapashiweyo
-Ukwenziwa kweasidi yoLwandle kunye nokugcinwa kwelifa lenkcubeko elingaphantsi kwamanzi kuMbutho waseMelika weLifa leMveli leNkcubeko loMthetho waMazwe ngaMazwe kunye noPhononongo lobuGcisa
– Ocean acidification kunye nophononongo lwezixhobo zomthetho ezikhoyo ukulungisa iziphumo zayo kwi American Bar Association's Joint Newsletter on International Marine Resources
– Ucwangciso lwesithuba solwandle kwiZiko loMthetho wokuSingqongileyo kwiForam yezeNdalo, kwi-E/The Environmental Magazine, kunye nemagazini yoCwangciso ye-American Planning Association.

Umbono woNyaka wesi-2

I-Ocean Leadership Fund ivumela ukuba sisebenzise iitalente kunye nobuchule bentsapho ye-TOF yabasebenzi, iiprojekthi, abacebisi, kunye nabalingane egameni lolwandle kunye nabantu abasebenza nzima ukukhusela ihlabathi lolwandle. Njengoko kubalulekile, kusivumela ukuba sifikelele ngaphaya kwesangqa salabo sele beqonda izisongelo kwiilwandle kunye nokukwazi ukuphumeza izisombululo-ukubandakanya abaphulaphuli abatsha kumgudu wokukhusela i-70% yeplanethi yethu. Yile miboniso mitsha, imiboniso, kunye namanqaku esiye sakwazi ukuwavelisa ngenxa ye-Ocean Leadership Fund.

Enye iprojekthi enkulu eqhubekayo ngo-2012 yincwadi entsha emalunga nenqanaba elilandelayo lobudlelwane boluntu nolwandle. Sinethemba lokugqiba uphando kunye nokubhala uyilo lokuqala lomshicileli waseNetherlands, uSpringer. Incwadi ithi Ikamva loLwandlekazi: Inqanaba elilandelayo lobudlelwane bethu nelona gunya linamandla emhlabeni.

Siya kuqhubeka sithatha inxaxheba apho sinakho ukuba nje sinemithombo yokwenza oko. Ungasinceda ngokuthi ngokunqakraza apha.
