Ukwakha Isizukulwane Esinomqondo Wasolwandle

Njengoba impilo yolwandle iba bucayi kakhulu esikhathini sokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu, kuya ngokuya kubaluleke kakhulu ukufundisa abantu ngale ngxenye yeplanethi yethu kanye nomthelela wayo obanzi ezimpilweni zethu.

Ukufundisa izizukulwane ezincane kusesikhathini kakhulu kunakuqala. Njengekusasa lomphakathi wethu, babambe amandla eqiniso oshintsho. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukugcina intsha yazi ngalezi zihloko ezibalulekile kufanele kuqale manje - njengoba kwakhiwa izimo zengqondo, izinto eziza kuqala, kanye nezintshisakalo zangempela. 

Ukuhlomisa othisha basolwandle ngamathuluzi afanele nezisetshenziswa kungasiza ukukhulisa isizukulwane esisha esiqaphelayo, esikhuthele, futhi esitshale imali empilweni yolwandle neplanethi yethu.

Ukusebenzisa Amathuba

Ngibonga kakhulu ngokukhulela emphakathini onengqondo ephilayo nomndeni wabantu abathanda ulwandle. Ukwakha ubuhlobo nolwandle ngisemncane, uthando lwami ngolwandle nezakhamuzi zalo lwangenza ngafuna ukuluvikela. Amathuba ami okufunda nge-ecosystems yasolwandle angibeke esikhundleni sokuba ummeli ophumelelayo wolwandle njengoba ngiqeda iziqu zami zasekolishi futhi ngiqala ukusebenza. 

Bengilokhu ngazi ukuthi ngifuna ukunikela noma yini engiyenzayo empilweni yami olwandle. Uma ngidlula esikoleni samabanga aphezulu nasekolishi ngesikhathi esibaluleke kangaka emlandweni wezemvelo, ngizithola nginesithakazelo esihlokweni abantu abambalwa abanolwazi olufinyeleleka kalula. Nakuba ulwandle ludla u-71% womhlaba weplanethi yethu, alubukeki kalula ngenxa yokuntuleka kolwazi nezinsiza ezitholakalayo.

Uma sifundisa labo abasizungezile esikwaziyo mayelana nolwandle, singabamba iqhaza elincane ekufundeni olwandle - sivumele labo ababengazi ngaphambili ukuthi babone ubudlelwano obungaqondile sonke esinabo nolwandle. Kunzima ukuzizwa sixhumene nento ebonakala ingeyangaphandle, ngakho-ke lapho singakwazi ukuqala ukwakha ubuhlobo nolwandle sisebancane, yilapho singakwazi ukuguqula amagagasi okushintsha kwesimo sezulu. 

Ukubizela Abanye Esenzweni

Sizwa ngokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kakhulu ezindabeni, ngoba umthelela wako emhlabeni wonke, kanye nasezindleleni zethu zokuziphilisa, uyaqhubeka nokukhula ngesivinini. Nakuba umqondo wokuguquka kwesimo sezulu uhlanganisa izici eziningi zemvelo yethu, ulwandle lungenye yezinto ezihamba phambili endaweni yethu eshintshayo. Ulwandle lulawula isimo sezulu sethu ngokusebenzisa amandla alo amakhulu okubamba ukushisa nesikhutha. Njengoba amazinga okushisa amanzi kanye ne-asidi kushintsha, izinhlobonhlobo zezilwane zasolwandle ezihlala kuwo ziyasuswa noma zisongelwa. 

Nakuba abaningi bethu bangase babone imiphumela yalokhu lapho singakwazi ukuyobhukuda olwandle noma siqaphele izinkinga zokuthengwa kwempahla, imiphakathi eminingi emhlabeni wonke ithembele olwandle ngokuqondile kakhulu. Ukudoba kanye nezokuvakasha kuqhuba umnotho emiphakathini eminingi yeziqhingi, okwenza imithombo yayo yemali ingasimami ngaphandle kwesimiso semvelo sasogwini esinempilo. Ekugcineni, lokhu kushiyeka kuzolimaza ngisho namazwe anezimboni.

Njengoba i-ocean chemistry ishintsha ngokushesha kunangaphambili, ulwazi olusabalele lolwandle luwukuphela kwesici esingalusindisa ngempela. Nakuba sincike olwandle ukuze sithole umoya-mpilo, ukulawulwa kwesimo sezulu, kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zezinsiza, izikole eziningi azinayo imali, izinsiza, noma amandla okufundisa izingane indima edlalwa ulwandle endaweni ezungezile nasemphakathini wethu. 

Ukwandisa Izinsiza

Ukufinyelela emfundweni yasolwandle esemncane kungabeka isisekelo somphakathi oqaphela kakhulu imvelo. Ngokuchaya intsha yethu ezifundweni ezengeziwe zesimo sezulu nezilwandle, sinikeza isizukulwane esilandelayo amandla ngolwazi lokwenza izinqumo ezifundile mayelana nemvelo yethu yasolwandle. 

Njengomuntu oqeqeshelwa umsebenzi e-The Ocean Foundation, ngikwazile ukusebenzisana ne-Community Ocean Engagement Global Initiative (COEGI), esekela ukufinyelela okulinganayo kwemisebenzi yezemfundo yasolwandle futhi enikeza othisha amathuluzi angcono kakhulu esayensi yokuziphatha ukuze benze imiyalezo yabo ibe nomthelela kakhudlwana. Ngokuhlomisa imiphakathi ngezinsiza zokufunda olwandle, ngokusebenzisa izindlela ezihlanganisayo nezifinyelelekayo, singakwazi ukuthuthukisa ukuqonda kwethu umhlaba wonke ngolwandle kanye nobudlelwano bethu nalo - sidale ushintsho olunamandla.

Ngijabule kakhulu ukubona umsebenzi ongafezwa wuhlelo lwethu olusha. Ukuba yingxenye yengxoxo kungenze ngabona ngokujulile uhla lwezinsiza ezitholakala emazweni ahlukene. Ngomsebenzi ezindabeni ezihlukahlukene ezinjengokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki, ikhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ne-acidification yolwandle, i-COEGI isihlanganise imizamo yethu ngokubhekana nomsuka wangempela wazo zonke lezi zinkinga: ukusebenzelana komphakathi, imfundo, kanye nokwenza. 

Lapha e-The Ocean Foundation, sikholelwa ukuthi intsha kufanele ibambe iqhaza ezingxoxweni ezithinta ikusasa layo. Ngokunikeza isizukulwane esilandelayo la mathuba, sakha amandla ethu njengomphakathi ukulwa nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nokugqugquzela ukongiwa kolwandle. 

I-Community Ocean Engagement Global Initiative yethu

I-COEGI izinikele ekwesekeni ukuthuthukiswa kwabaholi bomphakathi bezemfundo yasolwandle kanye nokunika amandla abafundi bayo yonke iminyaka yobudala ukuze bahumushe ulwazi lolwandle lube isenzo sokongiwa kwemvelo.
