I-Ocean Foundation ijoyina i-Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) ukuze ikhusele uLwandle oluNzulu

Kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo, i-Ocean Foundation iye yazibandakanya kwinkxaso yemibutho engekho phantsi kukarhulumente kwimigodi enzulu yolwandle (DSM), izisa ubuchwephesha bethu obukhethekileyo bomthetho kunye nezezimali kunye nobudlelwane becandelo labucala ukuxhasa kunye nokuncedisa umsebenzi oqhubekayo, kuquka:

• Ukukhusela indalo yaselwandle neyaselunxwemeni kwiziphumo zemigodi yasemhlabeni,
• Ukusebenzisana nabalawuli bezemali malunga namabango ozinzo enziwe ziinkampani ezinokuba nzulu kwimigodi yemigodi yolwandle; kwaye 
• Ukusingatha iprojekthi exhaswa ngemali: Iphulo leMigodi yoLwandle oluNzulu.

Siyazingca ukujoyina iDeep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) kwaye iya kusebenza namalungu e-DSCC ukuqinisekisa ukumiswa kwe-DSM.

I-DSCC icela ukuba abasemagunyeni kunye noorhulumente kwihlabathi lonke bakhuphe isithintelo (ukulibaziseka okusemthethweni) ekuvumeleni nakuphi na ukumbiwa kwemigodi enzulu elwandle de kuqondwe imingcipheko, kunokubonakaliswa ukuba akuyi kubangela umonakalo kwimekobume yaselwandle, inkxaso yoluntu ifunyenwe, iindlela ezizezinye ziye zajongwa, nemiba yolawulo iye yasonjululwa.

I-TOF ixhasa ukunqunyanyiswa kwemigodi enzulu elwandle ngokutshintsha nokuchaza amabali aphambili.

Ukusebenzisa ubulungu kunye neendima zokucebisa ezininzi ze-TOF kunye namava adlulileyo adlulileyo kubasebenzi bethu kwicandelo labucala, siya kusebenzisana nemibutho engekho phantsi koRhulumente, imibutho yenzululwazi, amaqela aphezulu, amaqumrhu, iibhanki, iziseko, kunye namazwe angamalungu kwi-International Seabed Authority ( ISA) ukuqhubela phambili la mabali. I-Ocean literacy ingundoqo walo msebenzi. Sikholelwa ukuba njengabachaphazelekayo abahlukeneyo baxelelwa malunga ne-DSM kunye nosongelo olubangelwa uthando lwabo, iindlela zokuphila, iindlela zokuphila, kunye nobukho kakhulu kwiplanethi ene-ecosystem esebenzayo, ukuchaswa kwesi siphakamiso esiyingozi kunye nokungaqiniseki kuya kulandela.

I-TOF izibophelele kuyo ukubeka irekhodi ngqo kunye nokuxelela inzululwazi, imali, kunye nenyaniso yezomthetho malunga ne-DSM:

• IDSM yiyo hayi utyalo-mali loqoqosho oluzinzileyo okanye oluluhlaza kwaye kufuneka ikhutshelwe ngaphandle kuyo nayiphi na iphothifoliyo enjalo.
• IDSM yi sisongelo kwimozulu yehlabathi kunye nemisebenzi ye-ikhosistim (ayisosisombululo esinokubakho sokutshintsha kwemozulu).
• I-ISA - umbutho opaque ukuba ilawula isiqingatha seplanethi – ayinako ngokwesakhiwo ukwenza isigunyaziso sayo kwaye imimiselo eyilwayo yiminyaka ukusuka ekubeni isebenze okanye ihambelane.
• I-DSM ngumba wamalungelo oluntu kunye nobulungisa bokusingqongileyo. Kusisisongelo kwilifa lemveli lenkcubeko yangaphantsi kwamanzi, imithombo yokutya, indlela yokuphila, imozulu ephilayo, kunye nemathiriyeli yemfuzo yolwandle yamayeza exesha elizayo.
• I-DSM imele ukuba ixhamle iinkampani kunye nabantu abambalwa, hayi uluntu (kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba ayitsho nokuba ixhasa okanye ixhasa amashishini eDSM).
• Ukwazi ukufunda nolwandle ngundoqo ekwakhiweni nasekuzinziseni inkcaso kwi-DSM.

Ukwacebisa amaziko emali kunye neziseko kwimigangatho yotyalo-mali oluzinzileyo loqoqosho oluluhlaza. Yena kunye ne-TOF ngabacebisi bolwandle abakhethekileyo kwiingxowa-mali ezimbini zotyalo-mali oluse-ocean-centric kunye ne-920 yezigidi zeerandi ezidityanisiweyo kwii-asethi eziphantsi kolawulo.

Ukugxeka kwakhe ubume bolawulo be-ISA kunye nokuvezwa kokuhlanjwa luhlaza kushishino lwemigodi enzulu yolwandle lusekelwe kwiminyaka yokucebisa ngophuhliso lweprojekthi kunye nemvume kunye ne-ESG kunye nolawulo lwengxelo yemali ezinzileyo kwifem yoshishino yomthetho. Usebenzisa ubudlelwane obukhoyo kunye namagqwetha, izazinzulu, kunye nezifundiswa ezisebenza kubugosa kumanzi anzongonzongo olwandle, ngakumbi ukuzibandakanya kwakhe ne-Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative.
