Izisombululo zokutya kwaselwandle

UMark J. Spalding, uMongameli we-Ocean Foundation

Sidibanise i-Ocean Foundation kunye ne-SeaWeb ngokusebenzisa iSivumelwano seNtsebenziswano yoMbutho, esithe iqale ukusebenza nge-17 kaNovemba ka-2015. I-Ocean Foundation iya kuthatha ugcino lwemeko ye-SeaWeb's 501(c)(3), kwaye iya kubonelela ngeenkonzo zolawulo nezolawulo kule mibutho mibini. Ngoku ndiyi-CEO yemibutho yomibini, kunye namalungu ebhodi ye-8 efanayo (i-5 esuka kwi-TOF, kunye ne-3 esuka kwi-SeaWeb) iya kulawula zombini imibutho ukususela ngo-4 kaDisemba.

Ngaloo ndlela, i-Ocean Foundation iya kuqhubeka zombini umsebenzi kunye nokuthembeka okuqinileyo kweenkqubo ze-SeaWeb ezizinzileyo zokutya kwaselwandle ngokusebenza kunye neenkokheli zoshishino, abenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo, amaqela olondolozo, abeendaba kunye nososayensi; kunye nokuqwalaselwa kwayo kweminye imiba emininzi ebalulekileyo yolwandle.

I-Ocean Foundation iyayixhasa indlela esekwe kwimarike njengenxalenye yendlela yokujongana nempilo yolwandle kunye nozinzo (uqoqosho, intlalo, ubuhle kunye nokusingqongileyo). Kudala siyixhasa iNgqungquthela yeSeaWeb Seafood kunye nomsebenzi wayo kunye necandelo lokutya kwaselwandle ukuguqula ishishini labo lisingise kuzinzo. I-Ocean Foundation ikwaxhase iNgqungquthela njengomxhasi wezezimali. Siye sabona ixabiso lemfundo yabathengi malunga nokukhetha ukutya kwaselwandle ngeSeafood Watch kunye nezinye izikhokelo zokutya kwaselwandle. Sikwangoochwephesha kwinkqubo kunye neenkqubo zoqinisekiso lwemveliso, kunye nexabiso leeco-labels ezivela kuzo. I-Ocean Foundation isebenze ne-Environmental Law Institute kwi imigangatho yolawulo yoqinisekiso lwenkcubeko yasemanzini. Ukongeza, senze uphando olubanzi phantsi kwenkxaso yentsebenziswano yeClinton Global Initiative kwi i-aquaculture ezinzileyo yamazwe ngamazwe. I-TOF isebenze ne-Emmett Environmental Law and Policy Clinic kwiHarvard Law School kunye ne-Environmental Law Institute ukuphanda indlela imithetho ekhoyo ekhoyo-ngokukodwa, uMthetho weMagnuson-Stevens kunye noMthetho waManzi acocekileyo - inokusetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo ukuqinisekisa ukuba siyayinciphisa ingozi yokusingqongileyo kwi-offshore aquaculture.

Ukongeza, thina kwi-Ocean Foundation sibona amathuba amakhulu ophicotho-zincwadi oluzinzileyo njengenxalenye yokuphendula kwiinkqubo ezimanyanisiweyo zoxanduva lwentlalo njengendlela yokufikelela kwiimarike (themba umthengisi wakho weentlanzi). Indlela yethu epheleleyo ithetha ukufumana ilungelo elipheleleyo lokulotywa okuvumelekileyo, ukujongana nokuloba okungekho mthethweni, ubukhoboka kunye nentaphane yokugqwetheka kwemarike okukhoyo, ngoko ke indlela yokuthengisa inokuvakala kwaye yenze umlingo wayo.

Kwaye, lo msebenzi awukhange usebenzise nje ukutya kwaselwandle, siye saxhasa kwaye sasebenza ngokusondeleyo neTiffany & Co. Foundation kwinto eyaba yi-SeaWeb Too Precious to Wear campaign. Kwaye, siyaqhubeka le nzame zonxibelelwano zokutshintsha ukuziphatha kweemarike zepinki kunye neekorale ezibomvu kuze kube namhlanje.

Ukuqhubela phambili imizamo yethu, ndiya kuthetha kwi-SeaWeb Seafood Summit (ngoFebruwari eMalta) malunga nobudlelwane phakathi kwe-acidification yolwandle kunye nokhuseleko lokutya, kunye ne-Seafood Expo North America (ngoMatshi eBoston) malunga nendlela utshintsho lwemozulu oluya kuchaphazela ngayo imveliso yezilwanyana zaselwandle. , kwaye icela umngeni kuyo ukulungiselela. Ndithelele kwezi ntlanganiso, kwaye siza kuqhubeka nencoko.
