Indawo okugxilwe kuyo: Ikomidi Lokuxoxisana Nohulumeni Ngokungcoliswa Kwepulasitiki, Isandiso se-UNEP, I-Basel Convention, I-SAICM

U-Erica usebenza njengomholi wezinhlelo zobuchwepheshe ukuze alawule imisebenzi yesayensi nenqubomgomo ye-Ocean Foundation ehlobene nokulwa nenselelo yomhlaba wonke yokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki yasogwini nolwandle. Lokhu kubandakanya ukwengamela ama-TOF Plastics Initiative. Imisebenzi yakhe ihlanganisa ukuthuthukiswa kwebhizinisi elisha, ukuqoqwa kwezimali, ukuqaliswa kwezinhlelo, ukuphathwa kwezimali, nokuxhumana nababambiqhaza, phakathi kweminye imisebenzi. Umele i-TOF emihlanganweni efanele, izingqungquthela, kanye nemicimbi ukuze akhuphule iphrofayili ye-TOF phakathi kwabasekeli nabahlanganyeli basekhaya nabamazwe ngamazwe.

U-Erica unesipiliyoni seminyaka engaphezu kwe-16 esebenza ukuze avikele ulwandle lwethu. Eyishumi nantathu kuleyo minyaka yachithwa kusebenzela uhulumeni wobumbano ku-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Ngesikhathi sakhe sokugcina e-NOAA njengochwepheshe Wezindaba Zamazwe Ngamazwe, u-Erica usebenze njengomholi ezindabeni zemfucumfucu yasolwandle yamazwe ngamazwe, i-UNEP, ngaphezu kokuba yi-US Focal Point ye-SPAW Protocol ye-Cartagena Convention kanye nelungu lethimba lase-US kwi-UNEA Ad. I-Hoc Open-Ended Expert Group kudoti wasolwandle nama-microplastics, phakathi kweminye imisebenzi. Ngo-2019, u-Erica washiya umsebenzi wobumbano ukuze agxile emsebenzini wakhe ekuqedeni ukungcoliswa kwepulasitiki futhi wajoyina i-Ocean Conservancy njengengxenye yoHlelo Lwabo Lwezilwandle Ezingenaludoti. Lapho wagxila ezindabeni zenqubomgomo yepulasitiki yasekhaya neyamazwe ngamazwe ehlobene nokunciphisa nokuvimbela imfucumfucu yasolwandle yepulasitiki ukuthi ingangeni olwandle. Ngenkathi ese-Ocean Conservancy, wayeyilungu leqembu elibalulekile elakha i- I-Plastic Policy Playbook: Amasu Olwandle OlungenaPlastiki, ibhuku lokuqondisa labenzi bezinqubomgomo kanye nababambiqhaza abafanelekile ezisombululweni zenqubomgomo yepulasitiki. Umele inhlangano emihlanganweni ye-UN Environment Programme, i-Basel Convention futhi wayengumholi wephrojekthi yomxhasi omkhulu ozinze eMexico. Ngaphezu kwemisebenzi yakhe, uke wasebenza njengoSihlalo wethimba lenhlangano lezoBulungiswa, UkuLingana, Ukuhlukahluka kanye Nokufakwa, futhi njengamanje usebenza eBhodini labaqondisi benhlangano.
