I-Ocean Foundation iququzelela iMibutho yaMazwe ngaMazwe kuSuku lweSithathu loNyaka lokuSebenza lwe-Acidation yoLwandle

E-WASHINGTON, DC, nge-8 kaJanuwari, ngo-2021-Namhlanje, ngoMhla wesithathu woNyaka wokuSebenza we-Ocean Acidification, i-Ocean Foundation inebhongo ngokuma nothungelwano lwamahlakani ehlabathi jikelele ekuthatheni ingqalelo iinzame ezidityanelweyo zokunciphisa nokubeka iliso kwiziphumo ze-asidi yolwandle uluntu lwethu lwengingqi. USuku lokuSebenza lwe-Ocean Acidification lukwajolise ekukhuthazeni onke amazwe ukuba enze izibophelelo zokujongana nokuguquguquka kweasidi elwandle, nokuba kungomthetho okanye ngophando lwenzululwazi, abangekakwenzi oko.

Kulo nyaka, ubhubhane wehlabathi uthintele abameli bamazwe athatha inxaxheba, kunye namanye amahlakani e-International Ocean Acidification Initiative (IOAI) yeThe Ocean Foundation, ukuba babhiyozele kumsitho wobuqu. Ngenxa yoko, amaqabane amaninzi e-IOAI abambe eyawo imisitho yoSuku lokuSebenza lwe-Ocean Acidification. E-Liberia, i-OA-Afrika ibiza abameli bamaziko karhulumente afanelekileyo kunye noluntu olubanzi lwe-asidi yolwandle; kunye ne-Latin-American Ocean Acidification Network (i-LAOCA) icwangcisa uluhlu lweziganeko zengingqi, kubandakanywa nevidiyo yosasazo evela e-Argentina enezazinzulu zabemi kunye nabaphandi bezemfundo. Ezinye iziganeko ziqhubeka eAlaska, eMozambique, eMexico, eGhana, eTuvalu, eGuatemala, ePeru naseTanzania.

Namhlanje, uSuku lokuSebenza lwe-Ocean Acidification luyabhiyozelwa: njengoluntu, sifeze izinto ezimangalisayo. I-Ocean Foundation ityale imali engaphezulu kwe-USD$3 yezigidi ekujonganeni ne-asidi yolwandle, iseka iinkqubo ezintsha zokubeka iliso kumazwe ali-16, idala izisombululo zengingqi ezitsha zokuphucula intsebenziswano, kunye nokuyila iinkqubo ezitsha ezineendleko eziphantsi zokuphucula ukusasazwa ngokulinganayo kophando lwe-acidification yolwandle. Amaqabane e-IOAI eMexico aphuhlisa indawo yokuqala yokugcina idatha yenzululwazi yolwandle yesizwe ukomeleza ujongo lwe-asidi yolwandle kunye nempilo yolwandle. E-Ecuador, amaqabane e-Galapagos afunda ukuba i-ecosystems ejikeleze i-CO2 vents yendalo iqhelana njani ne-pH esezantsi, isinika ukuqonda ngeemeko zolwandle ezizayo.

Ukufunda ngakumbi malunga nabasebenzi beSiseko se-Ocean abakhokela lo msebenzi kwaye kutheni bekhathalele kakhulu malunga ne-asidi yolwandle, kunye nokuva ngokuthe ngqo kumaqabane ethu kwihlabathi liphela, sijoyine nge-8 kaJanuwari, ngo-2021, ngo-10am PST kumsitho kaFacebook Live ku-facebook. .com/oceanfdn.org.

Imbali yoSuku lokuSebenza lwe-Ocean Acidization

I-Ocean Foundation isungule uSuku lokuSebenza lokuQalwa kwe-Ocean Acidification ngomhla we-8 kaJanuwari 2019. Umhla we-8 kaJanuwari ukhethwe njenge-8.1 yi-pH yangoku yolwandle, ukubonakalisa umda onokuthi ubanjwe ngulwandle lwethu lwehlabathi. Esi siganeko sasibanjelwe kwiNdlu yaseSweden eWashington, DC kunye namazwi akhethekileyo kaMnu Göran Lithel, iSekela likaMongameli we-Ofisi yozakuzo waseSweden, kunye noHloniphekileyo, uMnu. bathethe ngezibophelelo zamazwe abo kwaye bacela inyathelo nakwamanye amazwe ukuba azibandakanye kulo mzamo.

Umhla wesibini wonyaka wokuSebenza we-Ocean Acidification Day, owawubanjwe nge-8 kaJanuwari ka-2020, wawusindlekwe nguMzi wozakuzo waseNew Zealand eWashington, DC.

Inyathelo leInternational Ocean Acidization (IOAI)

Ukusukela ngo-2003, i-Ocean Foundation's International Ocean Acidification Initiative bekusakha amandla oosonzululwazi, abaqulunqi bomgaqo-nkqubo, kunye noluntu ukuba babeke iliso, baqonde, kwaye basabele kwi-asidi yolwandle apha ekhaya nangentsebenziswano kumlinganiselo wehlabathi. Oku kuphunyezwa ngokudala izixhobo ezisebenzayo kunye nezibonelelo ezilungiselelwe ukusebenzela uluntu oludingayo. Ukusukela oko kwaqaliswa eli nyathelo, i-Ocean Foundation izibophelele ngaphezu kwezigidi ezi-3 kwinkxaso-mali ekubekeni iliso kwi-asidi yolwandle, ukulungelelaniswa, kunye nezicwangciso zokunciphisa ukunceda amazwe azalisekise izibophelelo zokuxhasa iNjongo yoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo (SDG) 14.3.

Isiseko soLwandle 

Njengoko ibandakanywe kwaye ibhalisiwe ngokusemthethweni i-501(c)(3) yesisa engenzi nzuzo, i-Ocean Foundation (TOF) sisiseko soluntu esizinikele ekuqhubeleni phambili ulondolozo lwaselwandle kwihlabathi jikelele. Ukusukela ekusekweni kwayo ngo-2002, i-TOF isebenze ngokuzimisela ukuxhasa, ukomeleza, nokukhuthaza loo mibutho ezinikele ekubuyiseleni umva umkhwa wokutshatyalaliswa kokusingqongileyo kolwandle kwihlabathi jikelele. I-TOF iphumeza uthumo lwayo ngeendlela ezintathu ezinxibeleleneyo zoshishino: ulawulo lwengxowa-mali kunye nokwenziwa kwezibonelelo, ukubonisana kunye nokwakhiwa kwezakhono, kunye nolawulo lwabaxhasi kunye nophuhliso.
