shift blue
I-COVID-19 isinikeze ikhefu ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi singakwazi ukuzinakekela thina, esibathandayo, nalabo ababhekene nemiphumela emibi yalolu bhubhane. Yisikhathi sokubonisa uzwela nobubele kulabo abakudinga kakhulu. Iplanethi nayo ayihlukile - lapho umsebenzi wethu wezomnotho usulungele ukuqalisa kabusha, singaqinisekisa kanjani ukuthi ibhizinisi liyaqhubeka ngaphandle kwemikhuba efanayo elimazayo ezogcina ilimaze abantu kanye nemvelo ngokufanayo? Ukwakha kabusha umnotho wethu ukuze sivumele ukushintshela emisebenzini emisha nenempilo kuyindlela engcono kakhulu kithi sonke.
Kubalulekile, manje kunanini ngaphambili, ukugxila empilweni yolwandle nokusebenzisa lokhu kumiswa emsebenzini womhlaba wonke njengethuba lokuqwashisa, ukuthatha umthwalo womuntu ngamunye, kanye nokukhuthaza izixazululo zokuvuselela ukukhula komnotho okunesibopho.
I-Blue Shift iwubizo lomhlaba wonke oluya esenzweni olugxile ekutheni umphakathi ungabuyisa kanjani umnotho, ngemuva kwe-COVID-19, ngendlela egxile empilweni yolwandle nokusimama, kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi ulwandle luyatholakala ezizukulwaneni ezizayo. Ukuze siziphathe kangcono esikhathini esizayo, sidinga izenzo ezinesibindi ukuze sibeke ulwandle endleleni yokululama futhi sisekele izinto ezibalulekile ze-UN Decade of Ocean Science.

Ishumi Leminyaka
Impumelelo ye Iminyaka Eyishumi Yesayensi Yasolwandle Yentuthuko Esimeme (2021-2030) kuncike emandleni ethu okuvusa imicabango, ukuhlanganisa izinsiza kanye nokwenza ubudlelwano esibudingayo siguqule ukutholwa kwesayensi kube yisenzo. Sithemba ukudala ubunikazi Beshumi Leminyaka ngokunikeza amathuba angempela ukuze abantu bahlanganyele futhi ngokuthuthukisa izixazululo ezizuzisa ulwandle nomphakathi.
Fish & Food Security
Inhlanzi ingumthombo oyinhloko wamaprotheni kubantu abangaba yizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1 emhlabeni jikelele futhi imele ingxenye ebalulekile yokudla kwabaningi abengeziwe. Ngesikhathi sokuqubuka kwe-COVID-19, imithetho yezokuphepha emhlabeni wonke iphoqe imikhumbi yokudoba ukuthi ihlale ethekwini, namachweba amaningi okufanele avale ngokuphelele. Lokhu kuholele ekuncipheni kokudoba olwandle futhi kuvimbele abadobi ukuthi bayise umkhiqizo wabo emakethe. Idatha yesethelayithi nokubonwa kukhombisa ukuthi umsebenzi wehle ngamaphesenti angama-80 kwezinye izifunda. Imithelela ingase isho ukuthi izinhlanzi ezisengcupheni zinethuba lokusimama, kodwa futhi kuzoba nemiphumela elimazayo yezomnotho kubadobi abasengozini. Ukuqinisekisa indima yolwandle ekuvikelekeni kokudla emhlabeni wonke kufanele sisebenzise leli thuba ukuqonda imithelela yokumiswa okwesikhashana ukuze izitoko zilawuleke kangcono/ngokufanelekile ukuya phambili.
Ukuphazamiseka Komsindo Wangaphansi kwamanzi
Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ukungcoliswa komsindo kungalimaza imikhomo ngokuqondile ngokulimaza izindlebe zayo, futhi ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, kubangele ukopha kwangaphakathi nokufa. Amazinga okungcoliswa komsindo ongaphansi kwamanzi ovela emikhunjini ehle ngesikhathi sokuvalwa kwe-COVID-19, okunikeza ukuphumula kwemikhomo nezinye izilwane zasolwandle. Ukuqapha kwe-Acoustic ekujuleni kwamamitha angu-3,000, kubonise ukwehla komsindo wamasonto onke (kusukela ngo-Jan–April 2020) wama-decibel angu-1.5, noma cishe ukwehla kwamandla ngo-15%. Lokhu kwehla okuphawulekayo komsindo wemikhumbi ye-low-frequency akukaze kube khona ngaphambili futhi kuzobaluleka ukutadisha ukuze uqonde kangcono umphumela omuhle oncishisiwe womsindo we-ambient empilweni yasolwandle.
Ukungcoliswa Kwepulasitiki
Yize kunokuncipha okumangazayo kwemisebenzi yezomnotho emhlabeni ngesikhathi sokuqubuka kwe-COVID-19, imfucuza yepulasitiki iqhubekile nokukhuphuka. Imishini eminingi yokuzivikela esetshenziswa abasebenzi bezempilo kanye nomphakathi jikelele, imaski namagilavu, esetshenziswayo yenziwe ngepulasitiki, futhi iningi layo liyalahlwa ngemikhawulo embalwa. Ekugcineni le mikhiqizo iphelela olwandle ibangele imithelela eminingi engemihle. Ngeshwa, ingcindezi yokukhiqiza le mikhiqizo esetshenziswa kanye kuphela idala ukuthi izishayamthetho zicabange ukumisa isikhashana noma ukubambezeleka ekusetshenzisweni kwemithetho yezikhwama, ukusetshenziswa kwepulasitiki okukodwa, nokunye okwengeziwe ngesikhathi sodlame lomhlaba wonke. Lokhu kuzohlanganisa kuphela isimo esivele siyingozi olwandle. Ngakho-ke kubaluleke kakhulu kunangaphambili ukunaka ukusetshenziswa kwepulasitiki ngakunye futhi kukhuliswe izinhlelo zokugaywa kabusha.
I-Ocean Genome
I-ocean genome isisekelo lapho zonke izinto eziphilayo zasolwandle kanye nokusebenza kwazo ziphumulele, futhi ziwumthombo ocebile wezinhlanganisela ezilwa namagciwane. Ngesikhathi sokugqashuka kwe-COVID-19, ukwanda okumangazayo kwesidingo sokuhlolwa kudonsele isithakazelo esikhulayo ezisombululweni ezingaba khona ezitholakala ezinhlobonhlobo zofuzo zasolwandle. Ikakhulukazi, ama-enzyme avela kubhaktheriya we-hydrothermal vent abe yizingxenye ezibalulekile zobuchwepheshe obusetshenziswa kumakhithi okuhlola igciwane, okuhlanganisa lawo asetshenziselwa ukuxilonga i-COVID-19. Kodwa i-genome yolwandle iguguleka ukuxhashazwa ngokweqile, ukulahlekelwa indawo yokuhlala nokucekelwa phansi, nezinye izisusa. Ukuqonda nokulondoloza le “genome yolwandle” kubalulekile hhayi nje ekuqineni kwezinhlobo zezinto eziphilayo kanye nemvelo, kodwa nasempilweni yabantu kanye nomnotho. Izinyathelo zokongiwa kwemvelo zincike ekuvikeleni okungenani amaphesenti angama-30 olwandle ezindaweni ezivikelwe zasolwandle eziqalisiwe futhi ezivikelwe ngokugcwele noma ezivikelwe kakhulu (ama-MPA).

I-REV Ocean & TOF Ukusebenzisana
I-REV Ocean ne-TOF baqale ukubambisana okujabulisayo okuzogxila ekusebenziseni umkhumbi wocwaningo we-REV ukuze kutholwe izixazululo zezinkinga zolwandle zomhlaba, ikakhulukazi emkhakheni we-Ocean Acidification kanye nokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki. Sizophinde futhi sibambisane ngokuhlanganyela ezinhlelweni ezisekela iNhlangano Yeminyaka Eyishumi Yesayensi Yasolwandle Yentuthuko Esimeme (2021-2030).
“Ukubuyisela ulwandle olunempilo noluchichimayo kuyisidingo, akuyona into yokuzikhethela—isidingo siqala ngomoya okhishwa ulwandle (okungenantengo) futhi sihlanganisa amakhulu emikhiqizo nezinkonzo ezinenzuzo.”
