Simemezela i-Boyd Lyon Scholar yango-2021

Minyaka yonke iBoyd Lyon Sea Turtle Fund isingatha umfundaze womfundi webhayoloji yasolwandle ocwaningo lwakhe lugxile ezimfudumeni zasolwandle. Ophumelele kulo nyaka nguNatalia Teryda.

U-Natalia Teryda ungumfundi we-PhD owelulekwa uDkt. Ray Carthy e-Florida Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Unit. Odabuka e-Mar del Plata, e-Argentina, u-Natalia uthole i-BS yakhe ku-Biology e-Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (Argentina). Ngemva kokuphothula iziqu, wakwazi ukuqhubeka nomsebenzi wakhe ngokuphishekela iziqu ze-Master ku-Advanced Studies in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation e-Scripps Institution of Oceanography e-UC San Diego eCalifornia njenge-Fulbright Grantee. E-UF, u-Natalia ujabulile ngokuqhubeka nocwaningo lwakhe nokusebenza ngemvelo yofudu lwasolwandle nokongiwa kwemvelo, ngokufunda izimfudu ze-leatherback neziluhlaza esebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-drone ogwini lwase-Argentina nase-Uruguay. 

Iphrojekthi kaNatalia ihlose ukuhlanganisa ubuchwepheshe be-drone nokongiwa kwezimfudu eziluhlaza e-Uruguay. Uzothuthukisa futhi ahlanganise indlela ephelele yokuhlaziya kanye nokongiwa kwalezi zilwane nezindawo zazo ezihlala ngasogwini ngokusebenzisa ama-drones ukuqoqa izithombe ezisezingeni eliphezulu nezinencazelo ephezulu. Imizamo izoqondiswa ekuphenyweni kwezinhlobo zezilwane ezisengozini ngokusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe obusha, ukuqiniswa kwamanethiwekhi okulawulwa kwezindawo zokongiwa kwemvelo nokuphatha, kanye nokuhlanganiswa kwalezi zingxenye nokwakhiwa kwamandla omphakathi. Njengoba izimfudu eziluhlaza ezisakhulayo zithembeke kakhulu ezindaweni zokudla e-SWAO, le phrojekthi izosebenzisa i-UAS ukuze ihlaziye indima yemvelo yofudu oluluhlaza kulezi zindawo ezihlala ngasogwini kanye nokuhlola ukuthi amaphethini azo okusabalalisa athintwa kanjani ukuhlukahluka kwezindawo zokuhlala okuhlobene nesimo sezulu.
