Isikhungo se-Ocean Foundation I-Blue Resilience Initiative (BRI) isebenza ukusekela ukusimama komphakathi wasogwini ngokubuyisela nokulondoloza izindawo zokuhlala ezisogwini njengotshani basolwandle, imihlume, izixhobo zamakhorali, ukhula lwasolwandle, namaxhaphozi anosawoti. Siphinde sehlise izingcindezi ezindaweni ezisogwini futhi sithuthukise ukuvikeleka kokudla kwendawo ngokusebenzisa izindlela ezintsha zokuvuselela izolimo kanye nezindlela ze-agroforestry sisebenzisa umquba owenziwe ngokhula lwasolwandle.

Ifilosofi Yethu

Sisebenzisa i-lens ye-ocean-climate nexus njengomhlahlandlela wethu, sigcina ukuxhumana phakathi ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu kanye nolwandle ngokuthuthukisa Izixazululo Ezisekelwe Kwemvelo (NbS). 

Sigxila ku-synergy phezu kwesikali. 

I-ecosystem yonke inkulu kunesamba sezingxenye zayo. Lapho indawo ixhumeke kakhulu, izoba namandla okumelana nezingcindezi eziningi ezivezwa ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Ngokuthatha indlela ethi “ridge-to-reef”, noma “seascape”, samukela inqwaba yokuxhumana phakathi kwezindawo zokuhlala ukuze silondoloze imvelo yasogwini enempilo esekela ukuvikeleka okukhulu kogu, ihlinzeke ngendawo yokuhlala ehlukahlukene yezitshalo nezilwane, sisize ukuhlunga ukungcola, futhi sisimamise imiphakathi yasendaweni ngaphezu kwalokho obekungenzeka uma besingagxila endaweni eyodwa kuphela eyedwa. 

Siqinisekisa ukuthi ukwesekwa kufinyelela emiphakathini eludinga kakhulu:
labo ababhekene nengozi enkulu kakhulu yesimo sezulu.

Futhi, indlela yethu idlula nje ukulondoloza okusele. Sifuna ukubuyisela inala ngenkuthalo futhi sithuthukise umkhiqizo wemvelo yasogwini ukuze sisize imiphakathi emhlabeni wonke ukuthi iphumelele naphezu kwezidingo ezikhulayo zezinsiza kanye nezinsongo zesimo sezulu.

Indlela yethu

Ukukhetha Indawo Enkulu Yezithombe

Isu Lethu Lendawo Yasolwandle

Imvelo yasogwini yizindawo eziyinkimbinkimbi ezinezingxenye eziningi ezixhumene. Lokhu kudinga isu eliphelele le-seascape elicabangela uhlobo ngalunye lwendawo yokuhlala, izinhlobo ezithembele kulezi zindawo zemvelo, kanye nezingcindezi ezibangelwa umuntu emvelweni. Ingabe ukulungisa inkinga eyodwa kudala enye ngephutha? Ingabe izindawo ezimbili zokuhlala zichuma kangcono uma zibekwe eceleni? Uma ukungcoliswa komfula kushiywa kungashintshiwe, ingabe indawo yokubuyisela izophumelela? Ukucabangela inqwaba yezinto ngesikhathi esisodwa kungaveza imiphumela esimeme kakhulu esikhathini eside.

Ukuvula Indlela Yokukhula Kwekusasa

Nakuba amaphrojekthi evamise ukuqala njengabashayeli bezindiza abancane, sibeka eqhulwini izindawo ezisogwini zokubuyiselwa kwezindawo zokuhlala ezingase zibe nokwanda okukhulu.

Ikhadi lesikolo elinobungani nomsebenzisi

Ngokubeka kuqala indawo yethu ikhadi lesikolo, ekhiqizwe egameni le-UNEP's Caribbean Environment Programme (CEP), sibambisana nozakwethu bendawo, besifunda, nabakazwelonke ukuze sibeke phambili amasayithi kumaphrojekthi aqhubekayo nazayo.

Ukusekela Imiphakathi Yasendaweni

Sisebenza namalungu omphakathi nososayensi ngokwemibandela yabo, futhi sabelane kokubili ngokuthatha izinqumo kanye nomsebenzi. Siqondisa izinsiza eziningi kozakwethu bendawo, kunokuba sisekele abasebenzi abaningi bangaphakathi bethu. Uma izikhala zikhona, sihlinzeka ngemihlangano yokucobelelana ngolwazi yokwakha amandla ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi ozakwethu banawo wonke amathuluzi adingekayo. Sixhuma ozakwethu bethu nochwepheshe abaholayo ukuze sikhuthaze umphakathi wokuzijwayeza kuyo yonke indawo esisebenza kuyo.

Ukusebenzisa Ubuchwepheshe Obufanele

Izindlela zobuchwepheshe zingaletha ukusebenza kahle kanye nokulinganisa emsebenzini wethu, kodwa asikho isisombululo esilingana sonke. 

Cutting-Edge Solutions

Inzwa Ekude kanye Nesithombe Sesathelayithi. Sisebenzisa isithombe sesathelayithi kanye nesithombe sokubona ukukhanya kanye neRangi (LiDAR) ezinhlelweni ezahlukene zeGeographic Information System (GIS) kuzo zonke izigaba zephrojekthi. Ngokusebenzisa i-LiDAR ukuze sakhe imephu ye-3D yendawo egudle ugu, singakwazi ukulinganisa i-carbon biomass eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngaphezulu-phansi - ulwazi oludingekayo ukuze kulungelwe ukuthola isitifiketi sokuthathwa kwekhabhoni. Futhi sisebenzela ukuthuthukiswa kwezinhlelo zokuqapha ezizimele ukuze sixhume ama-drones kumasiginali we-Wi-Fi angaphansi kwamanzi.

I-Field-based Coral Larval Capture. Sithuthukisa izindlela ezintsha eziyinkimbinkimbi zokubuyisela amakhorali, okuhlanganisa ukusakazeka kocansi ngokuthwebula izibungu (okusekelwe kakhulu elabhorethri).

Ukufanisa Izidingo Zasendaweni

Emsebenzini wethu wokukhiqiza kabusha wezolimo kanye ne-agroforestry, sisebenzisa imishini elula namathuluzi epulazi angabizi ukuze sivune, sicubungule, futhi sifake umquba osuselwe ku-sargassum. Nakuba ukusebenzisa imishini kungase kwenyuse isivinini kanye nesikali semisebenzi yethu, sizimisele ngokwakha amabhizinisi amancane afaneleka kangcono izidingo nezinsiza zendawo.

Umsebenzi Wethu

Ukuklanywa Kwephrojekthi, Ukuqaliswa, kanye Nokuqapha Kwesikhathi Eside

Siklama futhi senza amaphrojekthi e-NbS ezindaweni ezihlala ogwini, ezolimo ezivuselelayo, namahlathi, okuhlanganisa ukuhlela, ukusebenzelana nababambiqhaza, izifundo zokungenzeka, ukuhlola okuyisisekelo kwekhabhoni, izimvume, ukunikeza izitifiketi, ukuqaliswa, nokuqapha isikhathi eside.

Izindawo Zasogwini

I-Regenerative Agriculture kanye ne-Agroforestry

Ukuzibandakanya Kwenqubomgomo

Umsebenzi wethu wenqubomgomo udala izimo ezidingekayo ukuze kubekwe kangcono ikhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ukuze ibe yisixazululo esisebenza kangcono sokumelana nesimo sezulu. 

Sibuyekeza izinhlaka zokulawula nezomthetho emazweni ngamazwe, kuzwelonke, kanye nasezingeni elingaphansi kuzwelonke ukuze sakhe indawo evumela kakhudlwana yokunikezwa isitifiketi kwephrojekthi - ukuze amaphrojekthi ekhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka akwazi ukukhiqiza amakhredithi ekhabhoni kalula njengabalingani bawo basemhlabeni. Sixoxisana nohulumeni kazwelonke nabancane ukuze sibakhuthaze ukuthi babeke eqhulwini amaphrojekthi okongiwa kwekhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nokubuyisela, ukuze bafeze izibopho zabo mayelana Neminikelo Kazwelonke Enqunyelwe (ama-NDC) ngaphansi kweSivumelwano SaseParis. Futhi, sisebenzisana nezifundazwe zase-US ukufaka ikhabhoni eluhlaza njengesinyathelo sokunciphisa izinhlelo ze-acidification yolwandle.

Ukudluliswa Kwezobuchwepheshe Nokuqeqeshwa

Silwela ukuhlola ubuchwepheshe obusha njengezimoto zasemoyeni ezingenamuntu (ama-UAV), Ukutholwa Kokukhanya kanye nesithombe seRanging (LiDAR), phakathi kokunye, kanye nokuqeqesha nokuhlomisa ozakwethu ngalawa mathuluzi. Lokhu kuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kwezindleko, ukunemba, nokusebenza kahle kuzo zonke izigaba zephrojekthi. Kodwa-ke, lobu buchwepheshe buvamise ukubiza futhi abufinyeleleki emiphakathini enganakiwe. 

Eminyakeni ezayo, sizosebenzisana nozakwethu ukwenza ubuchwepheshe obuthile bungabizi kakhulu, buthembeke kakhulu, futhi bulungiswe kalula futhi bulinganiswe emkhakheni. Ngemihlangano yokucobelelana ngolwazi yokwakha amakhono, sizokweseka ukuthuthukiswa kwamasethi amakhono athuthukile angasiza abantu bendawo ukuthi bakhe amathuba amasha amabhizinisi futhi bakwazi ukuncintisana emakethe yemisebenzi.

Isithombe Esikhulu

Imvelo yasogwini enempilo futhi ekhiqizayo ingasiza ngokulinganayo abantu, izilwane kanye nemvelo ngesikhathi esisodwa. Bahlinzeka ngezindawo zokunakekela izilwane ezisencane, bavimbele ukuguguleka kogu ngenxa yamagagasi neziphepho zasogwini, basekele ezokuvakasha nokuzilibazisa, futhi badale ezinye izindlela zokuziphilisa zemiphakathi yendawo ezingalimazi kangako imvelo. Isikhathi eside, ukubuyiselwa nokuvikelwa kwemvelo yasogwini kungase futhi kukhuthaze ukutshalwa kwezimali kwamanye amazwe okungaqhuba intuthuko esimeme yasendaweni futhi kukhuthaze ukukhula kwezimali zabantu nezemvelo kuso sonke isifunda somnotho esibanzi.

Asikwazi ukwenza lo msebenzi sisodwa. Njengoba nje izimiso zemvelo zixhumene, zinjalo nezinhlangano ezisebenza ndawonye emhlabeni wonke. I-Ocean Foundation iyaziqhenya ngokugcina ubambiswano oluqinile kuwo wonke umphakathi wekhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ukuze ubambe iqhaza ezingxoxweni ezimayelana nezindlela ezintsha nokwabelana ngezifundo ezitholiwe - ukuze kuzuze izindawo ezihlala ogwini, kanye nemiphakathi egudle ugu ehlala eduze kwazo, emhlabeni wonke.
