U-Mark J. Spalding, uMongameli we-The Ocean Foundation

Sihlanganise i-Ocean Foundation kanye ne-SeaWeb ngeSivumelwano Sobambiswano Lwenhlangano, esathi iqale ukusebenza ngoNovemba 17, 2015. I-Ocean Foundation izophatha ukunakekelwa kwesimo se-SeaWeb sika-501(c)(3), futhi izohlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zokuphatha nezokuphatha zalezi zinhlangano ezimbili. Manje sengiyi-CEO yazo zombili izinhlangano, futhi amalungu ebhodi afanayo ayi-8 (5 avela ku-TOF, kanye nama-3 avela e-SeaWeb) azobusa zombili izinhlangano kusukela ngomhlaka-4 Disemba.

Ngakho, i-Ocean Foundation izoqhubeka nomsebenzi kanye nobuqotho obuqinile bezinhlelo ze-SeaWeb eziqhubekayo zokudla kwasolwandle ngomsebenzi wayo nabaholi bamabhizinisi, abenzi bezinqubomgomo, amaqembu abongi, abezindaba kanye nososayensi; kanye nokunaka kwayo ezinye izindaba eziningi ezibalulekile zasolwandle.

I-Ocean Foundation isekela indlela esekwe ezimakethe njengengxenye yendlela ehlanganisa ama-multi-prong ezempilo nokuqina kolwandle (ezomnotho, ezenhlalo, zobuhle, nezemvelo). Sekuyisikhathi eside sisekela i-SeaWeb Seafood Summit kanye nomsebenzi wayo nomkhakha wezilwane zasolwandle ukuguqula imboni yabo ibe nokusimama. I-Ocean Foundation nayo iye yeseka iNgqungquthela njengomxhasi wezezimali. Sibone ukubaluleka kwemfundo yabathengi mayelana nezinketho zokudla kwasolwandle ngokusebenzisa i-Seafood Watch kanye neminye imihlahlandlela yokudla kwasolwandle. Futhi singochwepheshe ezinhlelweni zenqubo kanye nezitifiketi zomkhiqizo, kanye nenani lamalebula e-eco aphuma kuzo. I-Ocean Foundation isebenze ne-Environmental Law Institute ku amazinga okubusa okuthola isitifiketi se-aquaculture. Ukwengeza, senze ucwaningo olubanzi ngaphansi kwenhlanganiso yeClinton Global Initiative ku international aquaculture esimeme. I-TOF isebenze ne-Emmett Environmental Law and Policy Clinic e-Harvard Law School kanye ne-Environmental Law Institute ukuze iphenye ukuthi imithetho ekhona yenhlangano - ikakhulukazi, i-Magnuson-Stevens Act kanye noMthetho Wamanzi Ahlanzekile - ingasetshenziswa ngempumelelo ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi sikhawulela ukulimala kwemvelo kwezilwane zasolwandle zasogwini.

Ukwengeza, thina kwa-The Ocean Foundation sibona amathuba amahle kakhulu ocwaningomabhuku lokusimama okusobala njengengxenye yokuziphendulela ezinhlelweni zezinkampani ezibophezelekile emphakathini njengendlela yokuxhumana nezimakethe (themba umthengisi wakho wezinhlanzi). Indlela yethu ephelele isho ukufinyelela ekutholeni Isamba Esivumelekile Ukubamba, ukubhekana nokudoba okungekho emthethweni, ubugqila kanye nenqwaba yokuhlanekezelwa kwezimakethe okukhona, ukuze indlela yemakethe ibe enengqondo futhi yenze umlingo wayo.

Futhi, lo msebenzi awusebenzanga nje ekudleni kwasolwandle, siphinde sasekela futhi sasebenzisana eduze ne-Tiffany & Co. Foundation kulokho okwaba umkhankaso we-SeaWeb Too Precious to Wear. Futhi, siyaqhubeka nale mizamo yokuxhumana yokushintsha indlela yokuziphatha emakethe yamakhorali aphinki nabomvu kuze kube namuhla.

Ukuze siqhubekisele phambili imizamo yethu, ngizobe ngikhuluma eNgqungqutheleni ye-SeaWeb Seafood (ngoFebhuwari eMalta) ngobudlelwano phakathi kwe-acidification yolwandle kanye nokuvikeleka kokudla, kanye nase-Seafood Expo eNyakatho Melika (ngoMashi eBoston) mayelana nokuthi ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kuzothinta kanjani imboni yezilwane zasolwandle. , futhi ikubekela inselele ukuyilungiselela. Ngijoyine kule mihlangano, futhi sizoqhubeka nengxoxo.
