Funda okungakumbi ngo- The Ocean

Ngikhethe ukufundela umsebenzi e-The Ocean Foundation ngoba ngangazi okuncane kakhulu ngolwandle nezinzuzo zalo eziningi. Ngangivame ukuqaphela ukubaluleka kwezilwandle ohlelweni lwethu lwezemvelo kanye nezentengiselwano zomhlaba wonke. Kodwa, ngangazi okuncane kakhulu mayelana nendlela izinto ezenziwa abantu ezizithinta ngayo izilwandle. Ngesikhathi sami ngise-TOF, ngafunda ngezindaba eziningi ezibandakanya ulwandle, nezinhlangano ezahlukahlukene ezizama ukusiza.

I-Ocean Acidification kanye Nokungcoliswa Kwepulasitiki

Ngafunda ngezingozi ze Ukuqina kolwandle (OA), inkinga ekhule ngokushesha kusukela ekuguqukeni kwezimboni. I-OA ibangelwa ama-molecule e-carbon dioxide ancibilika olwandle, okuholela ekwakhekeni kwe-asidi eyingozi empilweni yasolwandle. Lesi simo sidale umonakalo omkhulu kumawebhu okudla olwandle kanye nokutholakala kwamaprotheni. Ngiphinde ngathola ukujoyina ingqungquthela lapho u-Tom Udall, uSenator omkhulu waseNew Mexico, ethule khona eyakhe Hlukana noMthetho Wokungcoliswa Kwepulasitiki. Lesi senzo sizovimbela izinto zepulasitiki ezisetshenziswa kanye kuphela ezingaphinde zigaywe kabusha futhi zenze abakhiqizi beziqukathi zokupakisha badizayine, baphathe, futhi baxhase ngezimali izinhlelo zokulahlwa nokugaywa kabusha.

Intshisekelo Yekusasa Lolwandle

Engangijabulela kakhulu ngolwazi lwami kwakuwukwazi abantu abanikela ngemisebenzi yabo ukuze basebenzele ikusasa elisimeme lolwandle. Ngaphezu kokufunda ngezibopho zabo zobungcweti nokuthi zazinjani izinsuku zabo ehhovisi, ngathola ithuba lokufunda ngezindlela ezabaholela emisebenzini yokongiwa kolwandle.

Izinsongo Nokuqwashisa

Ulwandle lubhekene nezinsongo eziningi ezihlobene nabantu. Lezi zinsongo zizoba zimbi kakhulu uma kubhekwa ukwanda kwabantu kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezimboni. Ezinye zalezi zinsongo zihlanganisa ukufakwa kweasidi olwandle, ukungcoliswa kwepulasitiki, noma ukulahlekelwa imihlume notshani basolwandle. Nokho, kunodaba olulodwa olukhona olungalimazi ulwandle ngokuqondile. Lolu daba wukungaqapheli ukuthi kwenzekani ngezilwandle zethu.

Cishe amaphesenti ayishumi abantu athembele olwandle njengomthombo wokudla osimeme - lokho kungabantu ababalelwa ezigidini ezingama-870. Siphinde sithembele kuwo ezintweni ezihlukahlukene njengemithi, ukulawula isimo sezulu, ngisho nokuzilibazisa. Kodwa-ke, ababaningi abantu abakwaziyo lokhu ngoba abathinteki ngokuqondile ngezinzuzo zakho eziningi. Lokhu kungazi, ngikholwa ukuthi, kulimaza ulwandle lwethu njenganoma iyiphi enye inkinga njengokugcwala kwe-acidic yolwandle noma ukungcoliswa.

Ngaphandle kokwazi ngezinzuzo zolwandle lwethu, ngeke sikwazi ukuguqula izinkinga ezibhekene nolwandle lwethu. Njengoba sihlala e-DC, asizazisi ngokugcwele izinzuzo ulwandle olusinikeza lona. Thina, abanye ngaphezu kwabanye, sincike olwandle. Kodwa ngeshwa, njengoba ulwandle lungekho egcekeni lethu, siyakhohlwa ngenhlalakahle yalo. Asiluboni ulwandle ezimpilweni zethu zansuku zonke, ngakho-ke asicabangi ukuthi ludlala indima ebonakalayo kulo. Ngenxa yalokhu, siyakhohlwa ukuthatha isinyathelo. Sikhohlwa ukucabanga ngaphambi kokuthi sithathe isitsha esilahlwayo endaweni yokudlela esiyintandokazi. Sikhohlwa ukuphinda sisebenzise noma sigaye kabusha iziqukathi zethu zepulasitiki. Futhi ekugcineni, sigcina silimaza ulwandle ngokungazi kwethu.
