I-Newsletter yocwaningo (2005, Ikota yokuqala)

nguMark J. Spalding, uMongameli

I-Ocean Foundation “iyisisekelo somphakathi” sokuqala solwandle, esinawo wonke amathuluzi esisekelo somphakathi nokugxila okuyingqayizivele ekongiweni olwandle. Ngakho-ke, i-Ocean Foundation ibhekana nezithiyo ezimbili ezinkulu ekongiweni olwandle ngempumelelo kakhudlwana: ukushoda kwemali kanye nokuntuleka kwendawo yokuxhumanisa ochwepheshe bezokongiwa kwasolwandle kalula kubaxhasi abafisa ukutshala imali. Umgomo wethu uwukusekela, ukuqinisa, nokukhuthaza lezo zinhlangano ezizinikele ekubuyiseleni umkhuba wokucekelwa phansi kwezindawo zolwandle emhlabeni jikelele.

Amathuba Amasha Okutshala

I-TOF iqapha ngokucophelela ukuhamba phambili komsebenzi wokongiwa kolwandle, ithungatha izixazululo zempumelelo ezidinga uxhaso lwezimali nokusekelwa, futhi ikudlulisele ngolwazi olusha olubaluleke kakhulu. Ngekota edlule, sethule iphrojekthi ye-Ocean Alliance yezobuchwepheshe obuphezulu mayelana nokungcoliswa komsindo wemboni kawoyela eNtshonalanga Afrika. Umnikeli usinike u-$50,000 wale phrojekthi, futhi wasibekela inselele yokuthi siphakamise okufanayo okungu-2:1. Ngakho-ke, siphinda le phrofayili yephrojekthi engezansi, futhi sikucela ukuthi usisize ukubhekana nenselele esinikezwe yona.

I-WHO: I-Ocean Alliance
kuphi: Ngaphandle kwe-Mauritania nasoGwini oluseNtshonalanga ye-Afrika
Ini: Ukuze uthole inhlolovo entsha ye-acoustic njengengxenye ye-Ocean Alliance's Voyage of the Odyssey. Lena iphrojekthi yokuhlanganyela ye-Scripps Institution of Oceanography kanye ne-Ocean Alliance. Lolu hlelo luphinde lube nengxenye yezemfundo eqinile ngokubambisana ne-PBS. Ucwaningo luzogxila emithelelaneni yomsindo ovela ekuhloleni uwoyela we-seismic kanye nezindawo zokudoba kuma-cetaceans. Le phrojekthi izosebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu: Amaphakheji Okuqoshwa Kwe-Autonomous Acoustic (AARP). Lawa madivaysi ehliselwa phansi olwandle futhi anikeze ukuqoshwa okuqhubekayo kumasampula ayi-1000 ngomzuzwana izinyanga. Idatha evela kuma-AARP izoqhathaniswa nama-acoustic transects agijima esuka e-Odyssey kusetshenziswa i-acoustic array edonsayo enobubanzi befrikhwensi ebanzi. Le phrojekthi izokwengezwa kudatha eqoqwe yi-Voyage ekhona ye-Odyssey, ezokhiqiza ukuhlolwa okuphelele kokuchichima nokusatshalaliswa kwezilwane ezincelisayo zasolwandle ngaphakathi kwendawo yocwaningo, okuhlanganisa nokubheka isimo sazo sobuthi kanye nezakhi zofuzo.
Kungani: Umsindo we-Anthropogenic udalwa olwandle kokubili ngenjongo nangokungahlosile. Umphumela uba ukungcoliswa komsindo okuphakeme kakhulu futhi okunamandla, kanye nezinga eliphansi futhi elingapheli. Kunobufakazi obanele bokuphetha ngokuthi imisindo enamandla kakhulu iyingozi futhi, ngezinye izikhathi, ibulala izilwane ezincelisayo zasolwandle. Ekugcineni, le phrojekthi isethwe endaweni ekude yolwandle lapho kuye kwenziwa izifundo ezincane noma zingekho nhlobo zalolu hlobo.
Kanjani: Isikhwama se-Ocean Foundation's Marine Mammals Field-of-Interest Fund, esigxile ezinsongweni ezibalulekile ezisheshayo ezilwaneni ezincelisayo zasolwandle.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, kule kota sihlanganisa:

• I-Union of Concerned Scientists - Alikho iqhwa lasolwandle, awekho amabhere ase-polar
• Imvelo yasePacific - Isiqhingi saseSakhalin, imikhomo noma uwoyela?

I-WHO: Union of Scientific Concerned
kuphi: Ngaphezu kwe-Arctic Circle: isizwe esiyisishiyagalombili, iminyaka engu-4.5 ye-Arctic Climate Impact Assessment sibonisa ukuthi njengoba iqhwa lasolwandle lihlehla kakhulu ogwini, amabhere amhlophe, izimvu zamanzi, namabhubesi olwandle angase anqanyulwe ngokushesha ezindaweni zokuzingela zasogwini nasezinkulisa. Njengoba iqhwa lasolwandle lincipha, inani lama-krill liyehla, kanjalo nezinja zamanzi nezinye izilwane ezithembele kuzo, bese kuthi amabhere asezindaweni ezishisayo athole kunzima ukuthola izimvu zamanzi. Ngenxa yalokho, kwesatshwa ukuthi amabhere ase-polar angase anyamalale eNyakatho nenkabazwe maphakathi nekhulu leminyaka.
Ini: Ngomzamo wokuletha ulwazi oluphusile lwesayensi kubenzi bezinqubomgomo kanye nomphakathi ukuze bawufundise ngokufudumala komhlaba.
Kungani: Ukusebenzisa izixazululo ezitholakala kalula zokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, kanye nokunciphisa umnikelo womuntu ekulayishweni kwekhabhoni kuzonikeza izinhlobo ezikwazi ukumelana nezifo ithuba elingcono kakhulu lokusinda.
Kanjani: Isikhwama se-Ocean Foundation's Oceans & Climate Change-of-Interest Fund, esigxile ekukhuthazeni ukuqina nokuthola izixazululo.

I-WHO: Imvelo yasePacific
kuphi: Isiqhingi sase-Sakhalin, e-Russia (enyakatho ye-Japan) lapho, kusukela ngo-1994, i-Shell, i-Mitsubishi ne-Mitsui bezilokhu zihola iphrojekthi yokumba uwoyela negesi phesheya kwezilwandle.
Ini: Ukuze kusekelwe umfelandawonye womkhankaso oholwa yi-Pacific Environment wezinhlangano zemvelo ezingama-50, ophakamise izinyathelo zokuqinisekisa ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa kwamandla ngeke kulimaze imvelo entekenteke kanye nezindawo zokudoba ezinothile ngasogwini lwase-Sakhalin. Izinyathelo ziphinde zicele ukuvikelwa kwezilwane ezingavamile nezisengozini, kuhlanganise nemikhomo, izinyoni zasolwandle, ama-pinnipeds, nezinhlanzi.
Kungani: Ukuthuthuka okungenazwelo kuzoba nomthelela omubi ku-Western Pacific Gray Whale esengozini, esekusele nje engaphezudlwana kwe-100; kungacekela phansi imithombo yasolwandle ecebile yalesi siqhingi; futhi ukuchitheka okukhulu kungase kucekele phansi izimpilo zezinkulungwane zabadobi baseRussia naseJapane.
Kanjani: Isikhwama se-Ocean Foundation's Marine Mammals Field-of-Interest Fund, esigxile ezinsongweni ezibalulekile ezisheshayo ezilwaneni ezincelisayo zasolwandle.

Izindaba ze-TOF

• UNicole Ross noViviana Jiménez abazobe bejoyina i-TOF ngo-Ephreli nangoMeyi ngokulandelana. Ukuba nalaba basebenzi kusilungiselela ukusekelwa okuphelele, okuchwepheshile kwabanikeli bethu.
• Egameni lomnikeli omkhulu, senze inkontileka yokwenza ucwaningo ngamaphrojekthi akhokhelwayo emazweni amaningana aseNingizimu Melika.
• I-Loreto Bay Foundation, ehlala e-The Ocean Foundation, ilindele ukufinyelela ku-$1 million yempahla kulo nyaka.
• I-SeaWeb yenza okuvelele ngeMarine Photobank, efakwe e-The Ocean Foundation.
• Ngomhla zingama-30 kuNdasa, uMongameli we-TOF, uMark J. Spalding, wanikeza inkulumo "yesimilo solwandle" mayelana nokubhekana nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu nge-Ocean Altering Projects e-Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies.

Amanye Amazwi Okugcina

I-Ocean Foundation ikhulisa amandla omkhakha wezokongiwa kolwandle futhi ivala igebe phakathi kwalesi sikhathi sokuqwashisa okukhulayo ngenhlekelele ezilwandle zethu kanye nokongiwa kweqiniso, osekwenziwe kwezilwandle zethu, okuhlanganisa nokuphathwa okusimeme kanye nezinhlaka zokubusa.

Ngo-2008, i-TOF izobe isidale uhlobo olusha ngokuphelele lwe-philanthropy (isisekelo somphakathi esihlobene nesizathu), isungule isisekelo sokuqala samazwe ngamazwe esigxile kuphela ekongiweni kolwandle, futhi ibe umxhasi wesithathu omkhulu wangasese wokongiwa kolwandle emhlabeni. Noma iyiphi yalezi zimpumelelo ingathethelela isikhathi sokuqala nemali ukwenza i-TOF iphumelele - zontathu ziyenza ibe utshalomali oluyingqayizivele futhi oluphoqelelayo egameni lezilwandle zomhlaba kanye nezigidigidi zabantu abathembele kuzo ukuze bathole ukwesekwa kwempilo okubalulekile.

Njenganoma yisiphi isisekelo izindleko zethu zokusebenza ezezindleko ezisekela ngokuqondile imisebenzi yokunikezwa kwezibonelelo noma imisebenzi eqondisayo yokupha (efana nokuhambela imihlangano yama-NGO, abaxhasi bezimali, noma ukubamba iqhaza emabhodini, njll.).

Ngenxa yesidingo esengeziwe sokugcinwa kwamabhuku ngokucophelela, ukutshala abaxhasi, nezinye izindleko zokusebenza, sabe cishe amaphesenti angu-8 kuya kwangu-10 njengephesenti lethu lokuphatha. Silindele ukunyuka kwesikhashana njengoba siletha abasebenzi abasha ukuze balindele ukukhula kwethu okuzayo, kodwa umgomo wethu wonke kuzoba ukugcina lezi zindleko zisezingeni eliphansi, ngokuvumelana nombono wethu omkhulu wokuthola imali engaka emkhakheni wezokongiwa kwasolwandle. ngangokunokwenzeka.
