Kuleli sonto eledlule ngihambele ingqungquthela yaminyaka yonke ye-BlueTech & Blue Economy Summit kanye ne-Tech Expo e-San Diego, ephethwe yi-The Maritime Alliance (TMA). Futhi, ngoLwesihlanu bengiyisikhulumi esiqavile kanye nomengameli weseshini yokuqala ngqa ye-TMA yabatshalizimali, ama-philanthropists kanye nozakwethu bezinkampani egxile ekuthuthukisweni nasekukhuliseni izinto ezintsha zobuchwepheshe obuluhlaza.

Inhloso bekuwukwenza ukuxhumana phakathi kwabantu ngemibono yokuxazulula izinkinga nokwenza ulwandle lwethu lube nempilo, nalabo abangase basekele futhi batshale imali kuzo. Ukwethula lolu suku, ngikhulume ngeqhaza le-The Ocean Foundation (ngokubambisana ne Isikhungo Somnotho Oluhlaza e-Middlebury Institute of International Studies e-Monterey) ukuchaza nokulandela umkhondo, ingqikithi yomnotho wolwandle, kanye nengxenye eqhubekayo yalowo mnotho esiwubiza ngokuthi umnotho Omusha oluhlaza. Ngiphinde ngabelana ngamaphrojekthi ethu amabili wokusungula, i-Rockefeller Ocean Strategy (isikhwama sokutshala imali esingakaze sibonwe ngaphambili) kanye I-SeaGrass Khula (uhlelo lokuqala ngqa lwe-carbon offset)

Iseshini yosuku lonke ihlanganise abasunguli abangu-19 abaphumelele ukuhlolwa kwangaphambili nangaphambi kokuba sihlangane ngoLwesihlanu. Bebethula izinhlobonhlobo zamaphrojekthi ahlanganisa ukuxhumana kwamanzi nokubala okufile, amajeneretha amagagasi, ukunciphisa nokuvimbela ukukhishwa kwemikhumbi, ukuhlolwa nokuqeqeshwa kwamanzi e-ballast, ukuhlanzwa kwamanzi angcolile, ama-drones ocwaningo, ukukhishwa kwamarobhothi kwemfucumfucu yasolwandle phezu kolwandle. , i-aquaponics ne-polyculture aquaculture, amasistimu okuhlunga amaza olwandle, kanye nohlelo lokusebenza olufana ne-AirBnB lokuphathwa kwedokodo lesivakashi lemikhumbi, amakilabhu ezikebhe namachweba. Ekupheleni kwesethulo ngasinye sibathathu bethu (uBill Lynch we-ProFinance, u-Kevin O'Neil we-O'Neil Group kanye nami) sisebenze njengephaneli yochwepheshe ukugqamisa labo ababemise amaphrojekthi abo ngemibuzo enzima mayelana nezidingo zabo zezimali, izinhlelo zebhizinisi njll.

Bekuwusuku olukhuthazayo. Siyazi ukuthi sincike olwandle njengohlelo lwethu lokusekela ukuphila lapha emhlabeni. Futhi, singabona futhi sizwe ukuthi izenzo zomuntu ziye zasindwa kakhulu futhi zakhungathekisa ulwandle lwethu. Ngakho-ke kube kuhle kakhulu ukubona amaphrojekthi angu-19 anengqondo amele imibono emisha engathuthukiswa ibe izinhlelo zokusebenza ezisiza ulwandle lwethu lube nempilo engcono.

Ngenkathi sihlangene oGwini oluseNtshonalanga, i I-Savannah Ocean Exchange bekwenzeka oGwini oluseMpumalanga. U-Danni Washington, umngani we-The Ocean Foundation, ube nesipiliyoni esifanayo e-Savannah Ocean Exchange, okuwumcimbi okhombisa “izixazululo ezintsha, ezisebenzayo nezingalawuleki emhlabeni jikelele ezinemifuziselo esebenzayo engagxumela ezimbonini, ezomnotho namasiko” ngokusho kwayo. iwebhusayithi.

UDanni wabelane ngokuthi naye "ukhuthazwe imibono emisha kanye nezixazululo ezisezingeni eliphezulu ezintweni zokwakha, kumadivayisi, izinqubo, nezinhlelo ezethulwe kule ngqungquthela. Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kunginika ithemba. Ziningi izingqondo ezikhaliphile ezisebenza kanzima ukuze zixazulule izinselele ezinkulu emhlabeni futhi kukithi…ABANTU…ukweseka abasunguli kanye nokusetyenziswa kobuchwepheshe babo ukuze kube nempumelelo enkulu.”

Lapha, lapha, Danni. Futhi i-toast kubo bonke abasebenza ngezixazululo! Sonke masisekele laba basunguli abanethemba njengengxenye yomphakathi onobunye ozinikele ekusizeni ukuthuthukisa ubudlelwano bomuntu nolwandle.
