Sethula Amalungu Ebhodi Elisha Labeluleki (1 kwabangu-3)

Ngu-Angel Braestrup — USihlalo, Ibhodi Labeluleki Le-TOF

Ngobusuku bangaphambi komhlangano weBhodi leNtwasahlobo le-The Ocean Foundation, ngizithole ngimangele ngokuzimisela kweBhodi lethu Labeluleki ukubamba iqhaza ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi le nhlangano iqinile futhi iwusizo emphakathini wokongiwa kolwandle njengoba ingaba njalo.

Ibhodi ligunyaze ukukhuliswa okubalulekile Kwebhodi Labeluleki emhlanganweni walo wekwindla edlule. Sithatha leli thuba ukumemezela abahlanu bokuqala kulabo abeluleki abasha abangamashumi amabili abavumile ukujoyina ngokusemthethweni i-The Ocean Foundation ngale ndlela ekhethekile. Amalungu Ebhodi Labeluleki avuma ukwabelana ngobuchwepheshe bawo ngendlela edingekayo. Bavuma futhi ukufunda amabhulogi e-The Ocean Foundation futhi bavakashele iwebhusayithi ukuze basisize siqinisekise ukuthi sihlala sinembile futhi sifika ngesikhathi ekwabelaneni kwethu ngolwazi. Bajoyina abanikeli abazinikele, abaholi bephrojekthi kanye nohlelo, amavolontiya, kanye nezibonelelo ezakha umphakathi oyi-The Ocean Foundation.

Abeluleki bethu bayiqembu labantu elihanjwa kabanzi, elinolwazi, futhi elicabanga ngokujulile. Asikwazi ukubonga ngokwanele kubo, ngamagalelo abo enhlalakahleni yomhlaba wethu, kanye nase-The Ocean Foundation.

UWilliam Y. Brown uyisazi sezilwane kanye nommeli futhi njengamanje ungumuntu ophakeme ongahlali e-Brookings Institution eWashington, DC. Umthethosivivinywa usebenze ezikhundleni zobuholi ezikhungweni eziningi. Izikhundla zangaphambili zikaBrown zihlanganisa uMeluleki Wesayensi kuNobhala Wezangaphakathi uBruce Babbitt, uMongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-Woods Hole Research Center eMassachusetts, uMongameli kanye no-CEO we-Academy of Natural Sciences e-Philadelphia, uMongameli kanye no-CEO we-Bishop Museum eHawaii, iPhini. UMongameli Wenhlangano Kazwelonke Ye-Audubon, Iphini Likamongameli Wezokulawulwa Kwemfucuza, Inc., Usosayensi Omkhulu kanye Nomqondisi Ophethe Oyibamba Wesikhwama Sokuvikela Imvelo, Unobhala Omkhulu We-US Endangered Species Scientific Authority, kanye Noprofesa Ongumsizi, e-Mount Holyoke College. Ungumqondisi nowayengumongameli we-Natural Science Collections Alliance, owayengusihlalo we-Ocean Conservancy kanye ne-Global Heritage Fund, futhi owayengumqondisi we-Environmental and Energy Study Institute, Environmental Law Institute, Ikomiti lase-US leNhlangano Yezizwe. Uhlelo lwezemvelo, i-US Environmental Training Institute, kanye ne-Wistar Institute. UBill unamadodakazi amabili futhi uhlala eWashington nomkakhe, uMary McLeod, oyisekela lomeluleki wezomthetho oyinhloko eMnyangweni WezoMbuso.

Kathleen Frith, unguMqondisi Ophethe weSikhungo Sezempilo Yomhlaba Wonke kanye Nezemvelo, esihlala eHarvard Medical School eBoston, Massachusetts. Emsebenzini wakhe esikhungweni, u-Kathleen usungule izinhlelo ezintsha ezigxile ebudlelwaneni phakathi kwabantu abanempilo nezilwandle ezinempilo. Ngo-2009, wakhiqiza ifilimu eyawina imiklomelo ethi "Once Upon a Tide" (www.healthyocean.org). Njengamanje, u-Kathleen usebenzisana ne-National Geographic njengozakwethu we-Mission Blue ukusiza ukubuyisela insiza enempilo, eqhubekayo yokudla kwasolwandle. Ngaphambi kokujoyina lesi sikhungo, u-Kathleen wayeyiSikhulu Solwazi Lomphakathi se-Bermuda Biological Station for Research, isikhungo se-US oceanographic e-Bermuda. UKathleen uneziqu zeBachelor ku-marine biology azithola e-University of California Santa Cruz kanye neziqu ze-Master in science journalism azithola e-Boston University's Knight Centre for Science Journalism. Uhlala eCambridge nomyeni wakhe nendodakazi.

U-Carleton Ray, Ph.D., kanye noJerry McCormick Ray bazinze eCharlottesville, eVirginia. Imisebe ibambe iqhaza ekukhuthazeni izinhlelo zokucabanga ukongiwa kolwandle amashumi eminyaka emsebenzini wabo. UDkt. Ray ugxile ezinqubweni zomhlaba zasogwini-olwandle kanye nokusatshalaliswa kwe-biota (ikakhulukazi izilwane ezinomgogodla). Ucwaningo nokufundisa okwedlule bekugxile endimeni yezilwane ezincelisayo zasolwandle ku-ecosystem ye-Polar Regions. Ucwaningo lwamanje lugcizelela i-ecology yezinhlanzi ezipholile ezindaweni ezisogwini kanye nobudlelwano phakathi kokuhlukahluka kwezinto eziphilayo kanye nomsebenzi we-ecosystem.

Ukwengeza, nozakwabo emnyangweni wakhe nakwezinye izindawo, abakwaRays bakha izindlela zokuhlukanisa ugu nolwandle, ikakhulukazi ngenhloso yokongiwa kwemvelo, ucwaningo kanye nokuqapha. I-Rays ibhale inqwaba yezincwadi, okuhlanganisa neyodwa ekhuluma ngezilwane zasendle ze-Polar Regions. Njengamanje basebenzela ukuqedela uhlelo lwabo olubuyekeziwe luka-2003 Ukulondolozwa Kwasogwini-Olwandle: Isayensi Nenqubomgomo.  Uhlelo olusha lunweba inombolo yezifundo eziyizi-14 emhlabeni jikelele, lubandakanya ozakwethu abasha, futhi lwengeza izithombe ezinemibala.
