nguMark J. Spalding, uMongameli

I-Ocean Foundation "isiseko soluntu" lokuqala kwiilwandle, kunye nazo zonke izixhobo zesiseko soluntu kunye nokugxila ngokukodwa kulondolozo lwaselwandle. Ngaloo ndlela, i-Ocean Foundation ijongana nemiqobo emibini engundoqo kulondolozo olusebenzayo ngakumbi lolwandle: ukunqongophala kwemali kunye nokungabikho kwendawo apho ukudibanisa iingcali zolondolozo lwaselwandle ngokulula kubaxhasi abanqwenela ukutyala imali. Injongo yethu kuku: ukuxhasa, ukomeleza, nokukhuthaza loo mibutho izinikele ekubuyiseleni umva umkhwa wokutshatyalaliswa kokusingqongileyo kolwandle kwihlabathi jikelele.

Sikhetha njani uTyalo-mali lwethu
Siqala ngokukhangela ihlabathi kwiiprojekthi ezinyanzelisayo. Imiba enokwenza ukuba iprojekthi ibe sisinyanzelo ibandakanya: inzululwazi eyomeleleyo, isiseko esiluqilima somthetho, ingxoxo eyomeleleyo yezentlalo noqoqosho, izilwanyana okanye izityalo ezithandekayo, isoyikiso esicacileyo, iingenelo ezicacileyo, kunye nesicwangciso seprojekthi esinamandla/engqiqo. Emva koko, njengaye nawuphi na umcebisi wotyalo-mali, sisebenzisa uluhlu lwe-14 lokujonga ngokucokisekileyo, olujonga ulawulo lweprojekthi, ukuxhaswa ngemali, ukufakwa kwezomthetho kunye nezinye iingxelo. Kwaye, nanini na kunokwenzeka, sikwaqhuba udliwano-ndlebe kwindawo yomntu kunye nabasebenzi abaphambili.

Ngokucacileyo akukho zingqiniseko ngakumbi kutyalo-mali lwe-philanthropic, kunotyalo-mali lwezemali. Ngoko ke, Incwadana yoPhando lweSiseko soLwandle izisa iinyani zombini kunye nezimvo zotyalo-mali. Kodwa, ngenxa ye phantse iminyaka eyi-12 yamava kutyalo-mali lobubele kunye nenkuthalo yethu kwiiprojekthi ezikhethiweyo, sikhululekile ukwenza izindululo kwiiprojekthi ezenza umahluko kulondolozo lolwandle.

UTyalo-mali lwekota yesi-4 yi-Ocean Foundation

Ngexesha le-4 yekota ka-2004, i-Ocean Foundatiekuqaqambiseni ezi projekthi zonxibelelwano zilandelayo, kwaza kwanyusa imali yokuzixhasa:

•  Iziko le Brookings – kwingxoxo engqukuva malunga ne “The Future of Oceans Policy” equka u-Admiral Watkins weKhomishini yase-US yoMgaqo-nkqubo we-Ocean (USCOP), uLeon Panetta weKomishoni yasePew Oceans, kunye neenkokheli zeCongressional. Le theyibhile ibeka ithoni kwaye igcina ingqalelo kwi-USCOP phambi kokuba uLawulo lwaseBush luphendule kwingxelo yalo kaSeptemba 2004. Yayizinyaswe ngabantu abangaphezu kwama-200 abasuka kwiNdlu kunye nabasebenzi beSenethi, kunye namajelo eendaba kunye nabameli bezemfundo.
• Umbutho woLondolozo lweCaribbean – ukuxhasa ngokubambisana i-Atlantic Leatherback Strategy Retreat yabaphandi abangama-23 abaphezulu kolu didi lusemngciphekweni wokuphela ukulungiselela i-2004 International Sea Turtle Symposium. Ukuhlehla kuya kuvumela i-CCC ukuba iququzelele intsebenziswano yamazwe ngamazwe ekuphuhliseni izicwangciso zexesha elide zokulondoloza ezi zilwanyana zihle kakhulu zifuduka kakhulu.
• Iziko loLondolozo lweNdalo yaseRashiya – ukuxhasa ngokubambisana ushicilelo olukhethekileyo lweeNdawo zaseLwandle eziKhuselweyo zaseLwandle iBering Iindaba zoLondolozo lwaseRashiya ithathwa ngokubanzi njengolona papasho lubalaseleyo phaya. Lo mba uya kuqinisekisa ukuba kunikwa ingqwalasela kolona nxweme lungahoywanga ehlabathini.

Amathuba amatsha oTyalo-mali
I-TOF ibeka iliso elibukhali phambili kumsebenzi wokulondoloza ulwandle, ikhangela izisombululo zempumelelo ezifuna inkxaso-mali kunye nenkxaso, kunye nokunxibelelana ngolwazi olutsha olubaluleke kakhulu kuwe. Kule kota sibonisa:

• Iziko lezeMpilo kunye ne-Global Environment kwiSikolo sezoNyango saseHarvard, kwiprojekthi yezempilo yabantu kunye neelwandle
• I-Ocean Alliance, yeprojekthi yobuchwephesha obuphezulu malunga nongcoliseko lwengxolo yoshishino lweoyile eNtshona Afrika
• I-Surfrider Foundation, yomzamo wokukhusela i-coral reef yasePuerto Rico

Ngubani: Iziko lezeMpilo kunye neNdalo yeHlabathi kwiSikolo sezoNyango saseHarvard
apho: I-South Carolina Aquarium kunye ne-Birch Aquarium kwi-Scripps ivumile ukusingatha umboniso. Ezinye iimyuziyam kunye neendawo ezihlala emanzini ziya kunikwa ithuba lokubamba umboniso.
Intoni: Kumboniso wokuqala ohambahambayo malunga noqhakamshelwano lwempilo yabantu nolwandle. Lo mboniso uxoxa ukuba i-ecosystem enempilo yaselwandle ibalulekile ekugcineni impilo yabantu kwaye igxile kwimiba emithathu: usetyenziso lwezonyango olunokubakho, ukutya kwaselwandle, kunye nendima yolwandle ekuboneleleni ngemekobume ephilayo. Iqaqambisa ukufudumala kwehlabathi kunye neminye imiba esongela ezi mfuno, kwaye ifikelela kuvuthondaba ngonikezelo oluhle, olujolise kwisisombululo esiqinisekisa abatyeleli ukuba balondoloze imeko-bume yolwandle ukuze bakhusele impilo yabo.

Umyalezo obalulekileyo kule meko wenza ikhonkco phakathi kweelwandle kunye nempilo, enye yezizathu eziphambili zokuxhasa ukulondolozwa kolwandle, kodwa enye uphando olubonise ukuba uluntu alukenzi.
Njani: I-Ocean Foundation's Marine Education Field-of-Interest Fund, egxile kwinkxaso nokusasazwa kwekharityhulam entsha ethembisayo kunye nemathiriyeli ebandakanya intlalo kunye nemiba yezoqoqosho yolondolozo lwaselwandle. Ikwaxhasa intsebenziswano eqhubela phambili inkalo yemfundo yaselwandle ngokubanzi.

Ngubani: Umanyano loLwandle
apho: Ngaphandle kweMauritania nakuNxweme oluseNtshona lweAfrika ngentwasahlobo yowama-2005
Intoni: Kuvavanyo olutsha lwe-acoustic njengenxalenye ye-Ocean Alliance's Voyage ye-Odyssey. Le yiprojekthi yentsebenziswano ye-Scripps Institution of Oceanography kunye ne-Ocean Alliance. Le nkqubo ikwanecandelo lemfundo elomeleleyo ngentsebenziswano ne-PBS. Uphononongo luya kujolisa kwiimpembelelo zengxolo evela kuphononongo lwe-oli ye-seismic kunye nokuloba kwii-cetaceans. Le projekthi iya kusebenzisa itekhnoloji yokusika: iiPakethi zokuRekhoda kwe-Acoustic ezizimeleyo. Ezi zixhobo ziwiswa kumgangatho wolwandle kwaye zibonelela ngokurekhodwa okuqhubekayo kwiisampuli ze-1000 ngomzuzwana kwiinyanga. Idatha evela kwii-AARP's iya kuthelekiswa ne-acoustic transects eqhutywa ukusuka e-Odyssey kusetyenziswa i-acoustic array etsalwayo enoluhlu olubanzi lwamaza. Iprojekthi iya kongezwa kuhambo olusele luqhubeka lwe-Odyssey oluza kuvelisa uvavanyo olubanzi lobuninzi kunye nokuhanjiswa kwezilwanyana zaselwandle phakathi kwendawo yokuhlola, kubandakanywa ukujonga ubume bazo obuyingozi kunye nemfuza.
Ngoba: Isandi se-Anthropogenic senziwa elwandle ngenjongo nangengozi. Isiphumo singungcoliseko lwengxolo oluphezulu kunye nolubukhali, kunye nenqanaba elisezantsi nelingapheliyo. Kukho ubungqina obaneleyo bokugqiba ukuba izandi eziphezulu ziyingozi kwaye, ngamanye amaxesha, ziyingozi kwizilwanyana zaselwandle. Ekugqibeleni, le projekthi ibekwe kwindawo ekude yolwandle apho izifundo ezincinci okanye zingekho zolu hlobo zenzeke.
Njani: I-Ocean Foundation's Marine Mammals Field-of-Interest Fund ye-Ocean, egxile kwezona zoyikiso zibalulekileyo zangoko kwizilwanyana ezincancisayo zaselwandle.

Ngubani: Isiseko seSurfrider
aphoIndawo: eRincon, ePuerto Rico
Intoni: Ukuxhasa “Iphulo Lokukhusela Unxweme lwasePuerto Rico.” Injongo yeli phulo likhokelwa luluntu kukhuseleko olusisigxina kuphuhliso olukhulu olulindelekileyo lommandla wonxweme ngokuseka ulondolozo lwaselwandle. Inxalenye yosukelo lwafikelelwa kulo nyaka xa iRhuluneli uSila M. Calderón Serra watyikitya umthetho oyilwayo wokudala “iReserva Marina Tres Palmas de Rincón.”
Ngoba: Ikona ekumntla-ntshona wePuerto Rico lilitye elinqabileyo lehlabathi lokusefa kwiCaribbean. Inamaza amaninzi akumgangatho wehlabathi, kubandakanya iTres Palmas-itempile yamaza amakhulu okusefa kwiCaribbean, ebekwe kwilali epholileyo ebizwa ngokuba yiRincon. I-Rincón ikwalikhaya kwiingqaqa zekorale ezicocekileyo kunye neelwandle ezinesanti. Iminenga ye-humpback iza ukuzalisa i-offshore kunye ne-sea turtles indlwane elunxwemeni. I-Ocean Foundation ibingumxhasi ozingcayo ngokufuna ukutyunjwa kovimba kwaye ngoku inyusa imali yale projekthi iyimpumelelo ukuze iqhubeke kwaye iqinisekise ukuba le yipaki yokwenyani enenkxaso yemali, isicwangciso solawulo kunye neziseko zophuhliso zexesha elide zokunyanzelisa nokubeka iliso. Inkxaso yeSurfrider ePuerto Rico iya kuphinda iye kwiinzame zokukhusela indawo ekufutshane yomhlaba, kunye nokugcina ukubandakanyeka koluntu kweli phulo.
Njani: I-Ocean Foundation yeCoral Reef Field-of-Interest Fund; exhasa iiprojekthi zengingqi ezikhuthaza ulawulo oluzinzileyo lweingqaqa zekorale kunye neentlobo ezixhomekeke kuzo, ngelixa ifuna amathuba okuphucula ulawulo lwee-coral reefs kwizinga elikhulu kakhulu.

Iindaba ze-TOF

• I-TOF isayine isivumelwano sokuba yi-arhente yezemali ye-Oceans 360, ifoto-documentation yehlabathi jikelele yonxibelelwano oluneenkalo ezininzi zoluntu neelwandle.
• I-TOF isebenzisana kwingxelo eya kwi-NOAA malunga nemeko yolwazi loluntu kwiilwandlekazi, eya kuthi nayo inike iingcebiso malunga nezicwangciso ezitsha enokuthi ithathelwe ingqalelo kwiinzame zayo zemfundo.
• Kutshanje i-TOF ibe lilungu loMbutho weZiseko eziNcinane, umbutho wesizwe oneziseko ezimalunga nama-2900 enabasebenzi abambalwa okanye abangenabo kwaphela, abamele phantse iibhiliyoni ezingama-55 zeerandi kwizinto zexabiso.
• Le kota iphinde yabona ukuphuma kweMarine Photobank, eyayifakwe yi-TOF, ukuba ibe yiprojekthi yokuzimela yodwa e-SeaWeb. I-SeaWeb lunxibelelwano lweelwandle olubalaseleyo olungenzi nzuzo, kwaye siqinisekile ukuba i-Marine Photobank ifanelekile kwipotfoliyo yayo.

"Indlela yeMarike" e-US
Kwi-2005, iBush Administration kunye ne-109th Congress iya kuba nethuba lokuphendula ezinye iingcebiso ze-200 ezivela kwiKhomishoni yase-US yoMgaqo-nkqubo we-Ocean (USCOP), eyathi kwingxelo ekhutshwe ngoSeptemba yafumanisa ukuba i-federal oceans oversight iphulwe kakhulu ukukhusela i-ecosystems yolwandle. zipheliswe lungcoliseko, ukuloba ngokugqithisileyo nezinye izoyikiso. Ngaloo ndlela, i-TOF iqalise ukuphononongwa kwemithetho yolwandle elindileyo eqhubekayo - zombini ukulungiselela ukugunyazwa kwakhona koMthetho we-Magnuson Stevens woLondolozo loLoba kunye noLawulo (MSA) kunye naluphi na ukulandelela kwingxelo ye-USCOP. Ngelishwa, kubonakala ngathi uSenator uStevens (R-AK) ujonge ukucutha inkcazo ye-Essential Fish Habitat efunekayo ukuze ikhuselwe phantsi komthetho, kunye nokunciphisa ukujongwa kwakhona kwenkundla yezigqibo zebhunga lezokuloba, kuquka nokongeza ulwimi olwaneleyo lweNEPA kwi-MSA.

Amanye Amagama Okugqibela
I-Ocean Foundation iyasandisa amandla ommandla wolondolozo lolwandle kwaye ivala umsantsa phakathi kweli xesha lokukhula kokuqonda ngentlekele kwiilwandlekazi zethu kunye nenyani, ephunyeziweyo yolondolozo lweelwandle zethu, kubandakanya ulawulo oluzinzileyo kunye nemibutho yolawulo.

Ngo-2008, i-TOF iza kube idale uhlobo olutsha ngokupheleleyo lwe-philanthropy (isiseko soluntu esinxulumene nonobangela), iseke isiseko sokuqala samazwe ngamazwe esigxile kuphela kulondolozo lolwandle, kwaye ibe ngumxhasi wesithathu ngobukhulu wabucala wolondolozo lolwandle ehlabathini. Nayiphi na kwezi mpumelelo ingathethelela ixesha kunye nemali yokuqala ukwenza i-TOF iphumelele - zontathu ziyenza ibe lutyalo-mali olulodwa nolunyanzelisayo egameni leelwandle zesijikelezi-langa kunye neebhiliyoni zabantu abaxhomekeke kuzo ngenkxaso ebalulekileyo yobomi.
