Kunzima ukucabanga noma ubani ongashintshwanga isipiliyoni solwandle. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuhamba eduze kwakhe, ukubhukuda emanzini akhe apholisayo, noma ukuntanta phezu kwakhe, umkhathi omkhulu wolwandle lwethu uyashintsha. Sima ukwesaba ubukhosi bakhe.

Simangazwe izindawo zakhe ezinyakazayo, isigqi samagagasi akhe, nokushaya kwamagagasi ashayayo. Ubuningi bezinto eziphilayo ngaphakathi nangaphandle kolwandle businika ukudla. Ushintsha amazinga okushisa ethu, amunce isikhutha, asinikeze izinto zokuzijabulisa, futhi achaze iplanethi yethu eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka.

Sibuka umkhathizwe wakhe omangalisayo, okude nohlaza okwesibhakabhaka futhi sizwa umuzwa wokungabi namkhawulo manje esaziyo ukuthi ungamanga.

Ulwazi lwamanje luveza ukuthi izilwandle zethu zisenkingeni enkulu - futhi zidinga usizo lwethu. Sekuyisikhathi eside sithatha ulwandle njengento elula, futhi silindele ngomlingo ukuthi uzomunca, agaye futhi alungise konke esikuphonse kuye. Ukuncipha kwenani lezinhlanzi, ukucekelwa phansi kwezixhobo zamakhorali, izindawo ezifile, ukwanda kwe-asidi, ukuchitheka kukawoyela, ukufa okunobuthi, imfucumfucu elingana neTexas - zonke izinkinga ezidalwe ngumuntu, futhi ngumuntu okufanele ashintshe ukuze avikele amanzi. ezisekela ukuphila emhlabeni wethu.

Sesifike lapho kunqamuka khona - indawo lapho uma singaguquki/singalungisi izenzo zethu, singase sibangele ukuphela kwempilo olwandle, njengoba sazi. USylvia Earle ubiza lesi sikhathi ngokuthi, “indawo emnandi,” futhi uthi esikwenzayo manje, ukukhetha esikwenzayo, izenzo esizenzayo, kungaguqula isimo sibe indlela esekela ukuphila, olwandle kanye nathi. Sesiqalile ukuhamba kancane endleleni efanele. Kukithi - thina esithanda ulwandle - ukuthatha izinyathelo eziqinile zokuvikela impilo nekusasa lolwandle.

Amadola ethu angaguqulwa abe yizenzo ezinesibindi. I-Ocean philanthropy ingenye yezinqumo esingazenza, futhi iminikelo ibalulekile ekuqhubekiseni nasekukhuliseni izinhlelo zolwandle ngezizathu ezintathu ezibalulekile:

• Izinkinga nezinselele ezibhekene nolwandle zinkulu kunakuqala
• Izimali zikahulumeni ziyehla- zize zinyamalale kwezinye izinhlelo ezibalulekile zasolwandle
• Izindleko zocwaningo nezohlelo ziyaqhubeka nokukhuphuka

Nazi izinto ezinhlanu ezibalulekile ongazenza njengamanje ukusiza ukusekela impilo yolwandle lwethu:

1. Nikeza, Futhi Nikeza Okukhaliphile.

Bhala isheke. Thumela ucingo. Yabela impahla enenzalo. Isipho saziswa amasheya. Shaja umnikelo ekhadini lakho lesikweletu. Sabalalisa isipho ngamashaji avela njalo ngenyanga. Khumbula inhlangano esiza abantulayo ngentando yakho noma ukwethenjwa. Iba Umxhasi Webhizinisi. Yiba Uzakwethu Wasolwandle. Nikeza isipho sokuhlonipha usuku lokuzalwa lomngane noma usuku lwangempela lwabazali bakho. Nikeza inkumbulo yesithandwa solwandle. Bhalisela uhlelo lomqashi wakho lokufanisa izipho zesihle.

2. Landela inhliziyo yakho

Khetha amaqembu asebenza kahle kakhulu okulondoloza ulwandle axhumana nenhliziyo yakho. Ingabe ungumuntu wofudu lwasolwandle? Uthanda imikhomo? Ingabe ukhathazekile ngezixhobo zamakhorali? Umshado uyikho konke! Inkanyezi engumhlahlandlela futhi I-Charity Navigator hlinzeka ngohlaziyo oluningiliziwe lwemali engenayo uma iqhathaniswa nezindleko zezinkampani eziningi ezinkulu ezingenzi inzuzo zase-US. I-Ocean Foundation ingakusiza ukuthi uthole iphrojekthi efanelana kangcono nezintshisekelo zakho, futhi uzothola imivuzo njengoba iminikelo yakho ixhasa impumelelo yolwandle.

3. Faka iqhaza

Yonke inhlangano esekela ulwandle ingasebenzisa usizo lwakho, futhi kukhona amakhulu ezindlela zokuba nolwazi olusebenzayo. Usizo nge Umcimbi Wolwandle Lomhlaba (Juni 8), iqhaza ekuhlanzweni kolwandle (Isisekelo seSurfrider noma I-Waterkeeper Alliance). Ngena kuSuku Lwamazwe Ngamazwe Lokuhlanza Ugu. Survey fish for I-REEF.

Zifundise wena, izingane zakho, nabangane ngezindaba eziphathelene nolwandle. Bhalela izikhulu zikahulumeni izincwadi. Ivolontiya ngemisebenzi yenhlangano. Zibophezele ukunciphisa umthelela wakho empilweni yolwandle. Yiba umkhulumeli wolwandle, inxusa lasolwandle lomuntu siqu.

Tshela umndeni wakho nabangane ukuthi unikele ngolwandle nokuthi kungani! Bameme ukuthi bahlanganyele nawe ekusekeleni izimbangela ozitholile. Xoxa ngakho! Isho izinto ezinhle ngezinhlangano ezisiza abampofu ozikhethile ku-Twitter noma ku-Facebook, nakwezinye izinkundla zokuxhumana.

4. Nikeza Izinto Ezidingekayo

Izinkampani ezingenzi inzuzo zidinga amakhompyutha, izinto zokuqopha, izikebhe, izinto zokutshuza, njll. ukuze zenze umsebenzi wazo. Ingabe unezinto onazo, kodwa ungazisebenzisi? Ingabe unawo amakhadi esipho ezitolo ezingathengisi okudingayo? Izinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi eziningi zithumela “uhlu lwezifiso kuwebhusayithi yazo.” Xhumana nenhlangano yakho esiza abampofu ukuze uqinisekise isidingo ngaphambi kokuthumela. Uma umnikelo wakho uyinto enkulu, njengesikebhe noma imoto ehamba yonke indawo, cabanga nokunikeza ukheshi odingekayo ukuze uvikeleke futhi uwugcine unyaka noma ngaphezulu.

5. Sisize sithole ukuthi “kungani?”

Kudingeka siqonde ukuthi kungani kube nokunyuka okuphawulekayo kokuhlangana - okufana noku pilot whales eFlorida, or izimpawu e-UK. Kungani Inkanyezi yolwandle lwasePacifics bayafa ngendlela engaqondakali futhi yini imbangela yokuphahlazeka kwenani labantu base-west coast sardine. Ucwaningo luthatha amahora omuntu, ukuqoqwa kwedatha, nokutolika ngokwesayensi - isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokuba izinhlelo zokusebenza zingathuthukiswa futhi ziqale ukusebenza. Le misebenzi idinga uxhaso – futhi futhi, yilapho indima yokupha abantu olwandle iyisisekelo sempumelelo yolwandle.

I-Ocean Foundation (TOF) iyisisekelo somphakathi esiyingqayizivele esinomgomo wokusekela, ukuqinisa, nokukhuthaza lezo zinhlangano ezizinikele ekubuyiseleni umkhuba wokucekelwa phansi kwezindawo zolwandle emhlabeni jikelele.

• Senza ukupha kube lula ukuze abanikelayo bakwazi ukugxila othandweni lwabo olukhethiwe logu nolwandle.
• Sithola, sihlole, bese sisekela - noma umsingathi wezimali - izinhlangano ezisebenza kahle kakhulu zokulondoloza olwandle.
• Sithuthukisa izixazululo ezintsha, ezenziwe ngokwezifiso zomnikelo womuntu ngamunye, izinkampani kanye nohulumeni.

Amasampula Okugqamayo kwe-TOF ka-2013 afaka:

Kwamukelwe amaphrojekthi amane amasha axhaswe ngezimali

1. Umkhankaso Wezimayini Zasolwandle Olujulile
2. I-Sea Turtle Bycatch
3. Iphrojekthi yeGlobal Tuna Conservation

Isize ekuguquleni amaphrojekthi ayexhaswe ngokwezimali iBlue Legacy International kanye ne-Ocean Doctor ibe izinhlangano ezizimele ezingenzi nzuzo.
