Usuku lweLwandle lweHlabathi

NguMark Spalding, uMongameli, i-Ocean Foundation

Namhlanje, bendifuna ukwabelana kancinci malunga nomsebenzi we-TOF wokunceda ulwandle kunye nokwazisa ngendima yalo ebomini bethu:

Ngaba wakha wazibuza ukuba kutheni ulwandle ngokwenene lusenza ingqondo nomzimba wakho uzive ulungile? Kutheni ulangazelela ukubuyela kuyo? Okanye kutheni "umbono wolwandle" lelona binzana libaluleke kakhulu kulwimi lwesiNgesi? Okanye kutheni ulwandle luthandana? Iprojekthi ye-TOF's BLUEMIND iphonononga ukuhlangana kwengqondo kunye nolwandle, ngelensi yengqondo ye-neuroscience.

Isiseko se-Ocean Ingca yolwandle iyakhula iphulo linyusa ulwazi ngokubaluleka kokukhusela amadlelo engca yethu yolwandle kwaye lixhasa umsebenzi wokuphelisa ngokwendalo ukukhutshwa kwegesi yegreenhouse elwandle. Amadlelo engca elwandle abonelela ngazo zonke iintlobo zoncedo. Zingamadlelo eemanatee kunye needugongs, ikhaya lamahashe olwandle eChesapeake Bay (nakwenye indawo), kwaye, kwiinkqubo zazo ezibanzi zeengcambu, iiyunithi zokugcina icarbon. Ukubuyisela la madlelo kubalulekile kwimpilo yolwandle ngoku nakwixesha elizayo. NgeProjekthi yokuKhula i-SeaGrass, i-Ocean Foundation ngoku ibamba i-calculator yokuqala ye-carbon offsets yolwandle. Ngoku, nabani na unokunceda ukuphelisa unyawo lwabo lwekhabhoni ngokuxhasa ukubuyiselwa kwengca yolwandle.

Ngokusebenzisa i-International Sustainable Aquaculture Fund, i-Ocean Foundation ikhuthaza ingxoxo malunga nekamva le-aquaculture. Le ngxowa-mali ixhasa iiprojekthi ezigxile ekwandiseni nasekuphuculeni indlela esifuya ngayo iintlanzi ngokuzikhupha emanzini sizise emhlabeni apho sinokulawula umgangatho wamanzi, umgangatho wokutya, kunye nokuhlangabezana neemfuno zeprotheyini zasekhaya. Ngale ndlela, uluntu lungaphucula ukhuseleko lokutya, luvelise uphuhliso loqoqosho lwasekuhlaleni, kwaye lubonelele ngokukhuselekileyo, ngokutya kwaselwandle okucocekileyo.

Kwaye ekugqibeleni, ngenxa yomsebenzi onzima we Iprojekthi yoLwandle kunye namahlakani ayo, njengoko siza kube sibhiyozela Usuku lweLwandle lweHlabathi ngomso, nge-8 kaJuni. IZizwe eziManyeneyo zamisela ngokusesikweni uSuku lweeLwandle lweHlabathi ngo-2009 emva kweminyaka ephantse ibe ngamashumi amabini yezikhumbuzo namaphulo opapasho “angekho semthethweni”. Imisitho yokubhiyozela iilwandlekazi zethu iya kubanjwa kwihlabathi liphela ngolo suku.
