Ukudala Inethiwekhi Yokubikezela I-Ocean Acidification

Ngemva kokulandela i-Ocean engqungqutheleni Yomhlaba Ye-CO2 Ephakeme e-Tasmania ekuqaleni kukaMeyi, sibe nomhlangano wokucobelelana ngolwazi lwesayensi wesithathu we-Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) e-CSIRO Marine Laboratories e-Hobart. Lo mhlangano ubuhlanganisa abantu abangu-135 abavela ezizweni ezingu-37 abahlangene ukuze bathole ukuthi banganwetshwa kanjani ukuqapha ukufakwa kwe-acidity olwandle emhlabeni wonke ukuze bakuqonde kangcono. Ngenxa yabanikeli abakhethekile, i-Ocean Foundation ikwazile ukuxhasa uhambo lososayensi abavela emazweni anekhono elilinganiselwe lokuqapha ukuze bathamele lo mhlangano.

Njengenethiwekhi yomhlaba wonke, i-GOA-ON ibhekana neqiniso lokuthi i-acidification yolwandle yisimo somhlaba esinemiphumela yendawo kakhulu. Kuhloswe ngayo ukukala isimo kanye nenqubekelaphambili ye-acidification yolwandle olwandle oluvulekile, ulwandle olusogwini nasezindaweni zemifula. Siphinde sethemba ukuthi kusisiza ukuthi siqonde kangcono ukuthi i-acidification yolwandle ithinta kanjani i-ecosystem yasolwandle, futhi ekugcineni inikeze idatha ezosivumela ukuthi sakhe amathuluzi okubikezela futhi senze izinqumo zokuphatha. Kodwa-ke, izingxenye eziningi zomhlaba, okuhlanganisa izifunda ezithembele kakhulu ezinsizeni zasolwandle, azinayo idatha kanye namandla okuqapha. Ngakho-ke, umgomo wesikhathi esifushane uwukugcwalisa izikhala ekumbozweni kokuqapha emhlabeni wonke, futhi ubuchwepheshe obusha bungasisiza ekwenzeni kanjalo.

Ekugcineni, i-GOA-ON ifuna ukuba emhlabeni wonke futhi imele imvelo eminingi, ikwazi ukuqoqa futhi ihlanganise idatha futhi iyihumushe ukuze iphendule kukho kokubili izidingo zesayensi nenqubomgomo. Lo mhlangano owawuse-Hobart wawungowokusiza iNethiwekhi ukuthi isuke ekuchazeni izidingo zedatha yenethiwekhi, kanye nokuphatha kwayo, iye ohlelweni lokusebenzisa ngokugcwele inethiwekhi kanye nemiphumela yayo ehlosiwe. Izinkinga ezizobhekwa yilezi:

• Ukubuyekeza umphakathi we-GOA-ON kusimo se-GOA-ON nokuxhumana nezinye izinhlelo zomhlaba
• Ukwakha imiphakathi ukuze kuthuthukiswe izizinda zezifunda ezizokwenza kube lula ukwakhiwa kwamakhono
• Ukubuyekeza izidingo zokulinganisa kwempendulo ye-biology ne-ecosystem
• Ukuxoxisana ngokuxhumana kwamamodeli, izinselele zokubuka kanye namathuba
• Sethula intuthuko kwezobuchwepheshe, ukuphathwa kwedatha nemikhiqizo
• Ukuthola okokufaka emikhiqizweni yedatha nezidingo zolwazi
• Ukuthola imibono ngezidingo zokuqaliswa kwesifunda
• Kwethulwa Uhlelo lwe-GOA-ON Pier-2-Peer Mentorship

Abenzi bezinqubomgomo banendaba nezinsizakalo ze-ecosystem ezisongelwa ukugcwala kwe-asidi yolwandle. Ukubhekwa koshintsho lwamakhemikhali kanye nokusabela kwebhayoloji kusivumela ukuthi sikhombe uguquko lwezemvelo nesayensi yezenhlalo ukubikezela umphumela womphakathi:

Kwa-The Ocean Foundation, sisebenza ngobuhlakani ukukhulisa uxhaso ukuze sakhe ukubamba iqhaza kanye namandla amazwe asathuthuka ku-Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network ngokusekela ubuchwepheshe, uhambo, kanye nokwakhiwa kwamandla. ‬‬‬‬‬

Lo mzamo wethulwa eNgqungqutheleni “Yolwandle Yethu” yangowezi-2014 eyayibanjwe uMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika, lapho uNobhala Wezwe u-John Kerry athembisa ukusekela ekwakheni amakhono okuqaphela e-GOA-ON. Phakathi naleyo ngqungquthela, i-Ocean Foundation yamukele ukuhlonishwa kokusingatha i-Friends of GOA-ON, ukubambisana okungenzi nzuzo okuhloswe ukuheha uxhaso ukuze kusekelwe umgomo we-GOA-ON wokufeza izidingo zesayensi nenqubomgomo zokuqoqwa kolwazi emhlabeni wonke. kwi-acidification yolwandle kanye nemithelela yako yemvelo.

CSIRO I-Marine Laboratories e-HobartNgekwindla edlule, Usosayensi Omkhulu we-NOAA u-Richard Spinrad kanye nozakwabo wase-UK, u-Ian Boyd, ku-Oct. 15, 2015 New York Times OpEd, "Izilwandle Zethu Ezifile, Ezigcwele Ikhabhoni", batusa ukutshala imali kubuchwepheshe obusha benzwa yolwandle. Ikakhulukazi, baphakamise ukuthi kusetshenziswe lobo buchwepheshe obakhiwe ngesikhathi somncintiswano we-2015 Wendy Schmidt Ocean Health XPRIZE ukuze kuhlinzekwe isisekelo sokubikezela okuqinile emiphakathini egudle ugu engenawo amandla okuqapha nokubika kwe-acidity yolwandle, ikakhulukazi eNingizimu Nenkabazwe.

Ngakho-ke sithemba ukusebenzisa i-akhawunti yethu ye-Friends of GOA-ON ukukhulisa ukuqapha kwe-acidity yolwandle kanye namandla okubika e-Afrika, e-Pacific Islands, e-Latin America, e-Caribbean, nase-Arctic (izindawo lapho kunezikhala ezinkulu zolwazi nedatha, kanye nemiphakathi kanye izimboni ezincike kakhulu olwandle). Sizokwenza lokhu ngokwakha amandla ezindaweni ezintula idatha yososayensi bendawo, sisabalalisa amathuluzi okuqapha, ukwakha kanye nokugcina inkundla yedatha emaphakathi, siqeqeshe ososayensi, kanye nokugqugquzela eminye imisebenzi yenethiwekhi.

I-Ocean Foundation's Friends of Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network:

1. Iqale ngohlelo lokuhlola e-Mozambique lokubamba imihlangano yokuqeqesha ososayensi bendawo abangu-15 abavela emazweni ayi-10 ukuze bafunde ukusebenzisa, ukuthumela nokugcina izinzwa ze-acidification yolwandle kanye nokuqoqa, ukuphatha, ukufaka kungobo yomlando kanye nokulayisha idatha ye-acidification yolwandle ezisekelweni zokubuka zomhlaba jikelele.
2. Uhlonishwe ngokuhlinzeka ngezibonelelo zokuhamba zeworkshop yesayensi yesi-3 yeNethiwekhi yeqembu lososayensi elihlanganisa: UDkt.

3. Ungene ebudlelwaneni Nomnyango Wesifunda Sase-US (ngohlelo lwayo Lwe-Leveraging, Engaging, and Accelerating through Partnerships (LEAP)). Ubambiswano lukahulumeni nezizimele luzohlinzeka ngezinsiza zokuqalisa ukuqapha ukugcwala kwe-asidi olwandle e-Afrika, kuthuthukiswe imihlangano yokucobelelana ngolwazi yokwakha amandla, kube lula ukuxhumana nemizamo yokuqapha yomhlaba wonke, futhi kuhlole udaba lwebhizinisi lobuchwepheshe obusha bezinzwa ze-acidification olwandle. Lokhu kubambisana kuhloswe ukufeza umgomo kaNobhala wokwandisa ukusabalala kwe-GOA-ON emhlabeni wonke kanye nokuqeqesha abaqaphi nabaphathi ukuze baqonde kangcono imithelela yokugcwala kwe-acidity yolwandle, ikakhulukazi e-Afrika, lapho kunokuqapha okulinganiselwe kakhulu kwe-acidity yolwandle.

Sonke sikhathazekile nge-acidification yolwandle-futhi siyazi ukuthi sidinga ukuhumusha ukukhathazeka kube yisenzo. I-GOA-ON yasungulwa ukuze ixhumanise izinguquko zamakhemikhali olwandle nezimpendulo zebhayoloji, ihlonze isibaluli futhi inikeze kokubili izibikezelo zesikhathi esifushane nezibikezelo zesikhathi eside ezingase zazise inqubomgomo. Sizoqhubeka nokwakha i-GOA-ON engenzeka, enesisekelo sobuchwepheshe, futhi esisiza siqonde ukugcwala kwe-asidi olwandle endaweni kanye nasemhlabeni jikelele.
