Imisebenzi Engaphambili

Njengoba siqala unyaka omusha, sibheke eshumini lesithathu leminyaka ye-The Ocean Foundation, ngakho-ke sichithe isikhathi esiningi sicabanga ngekusasa. Ngonyaka ka-2021, ngibona imisebenzi emikhulu ezayo uma kuziwa ekubuyiseleni inala olwandle—imisebenzi ezodinga wonke umuntu emphakathini wethu wonke nangale kwayo ukuba iqedwe. Izinsongo olwandle zaziwa kahle, kanye nezixazululo eziningi. Njengoba ngivame ukusho, impendulo elula ithi "Khipha izinto ezinhle ezincane, ungafaki izinto ezimbi." Yebo, ukwenza kuyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu kunesisho.

Kubandakanya Wonke Umuntu Ngokulinganayo: Kufanele ngiqale ngokuhlukahluka, ukulingana, ukufakwa, kanye nobulungiswa. Ukubheka indlela esiphatha ngayo izinsiza zethu zasolwandle kanye nendlela esikwaba ngayo ukufinyelela ngokusebenzisa ilensi yokulingana ngokuvamile kusho ukuthi sizokwenza umonakalo omncane olwandle nemithombo yalo, kuyilapho siqinisekisa ukuzinza okukhulu kwezenhlalo, imvelo, kanye nomnotho kwabasengozini kakhulu. imiphakathi. Ngakho-ke, into yokuqala esemqoka ukuqinisekisa ukuthi sisebenzisa izinqubo zokulingana kuzo zonke izici zomsebenzi wethu, kusukela ekuxhaseni ngemali nasekusabalaliseni ukuya ezenzweni zokonga. Futhi umuntu akakwazi ukucabangela lezi zinkinga ngaphandle kokuhlanganisa imiphumela yokukhishwa kwamagesi abamba ukushisa engxoxweni.

Isayensi Yasolwandle Ingokoqobo: UJanuwari 2021 uphawula futhi ukwethulwa Kweminyaka Eyishumi Yesayensi Yasolwandle Yentuthuko Esimeme (Ishumi Leminyaka), ubambiswano lomhlaba wonke ukusiza ukuqhubekisela phambili izinjongo I-SDG 14. I-Ocean Foundation, njengokuwukuphela kwesisekelo somphakathi solwandle, izibophezele ekuqalisweni Kweminyaka Eyishumi kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi ZONKE izizwe ezisogwini ziyafinyelela kusayensi eziyidingayo olwandle ezilufunayo. I-Ocean Foundation inikele ngesikhathi sabasebenzi ukuze isekele iShumi Leminyaka futhi isilungele ukwethula izinhlelo ezengeziwe zokusiza iShumi Leminyaka, okuhlanganisa nokusungula izimali zosizo ezihlanganisiwe ze-“EquiSea: The Ocean Science Fund for All” kanye “Nezihlobo Zeshumi Leminyaka Le-UN.” Ukwengeza, besilokhu sigqugquzela ukusebenzelana okungezona kukahulumeni kanye nokuphana ngalo mzamo womhlaba wonke. Ekugcineni, singena e ubudlelwano obusemthethweni ne-NOAA ukubambisana emizamweni yesayensi yamazwe ngamazwe neyezwe yokuqhubekisela phambili ucwaningo, ukongiwa kwemvelo kanye nokuqonda kwethu ulwandle lomhlaba wonke.

Ukuzivumelanisa nezimo nokuvikela: Ukusebenza nemiphakathi ukwakha nokusebenzisa izixazululo ezisiza ukunciphisa umonakalo kuwumsebenzi wesithathu. I-2020 ilethe inombolo erekhodiwe yezivunguvungu zase-Atlantic, okuhlanganisa ezinye zeziphepho ezinamandla kunazo zonke isifunda esake sabonwa, kanye nenani elirekhodiwe lezinhlekelele ezibangele umonakalo ongaphezu kwezigidigidi zamaRandi engqalasizinda yabantu, njengoba nje izinsiza zemvelo eziyigugu nazo zacekelwa phansi. ibhujisiwe. Ukusuka eMelika Ephakathi kuya ePhilippines, kuwo wonke amazwekazi, cishe kuzo zonke izifundazwe zase-US, sabona ukuthi imiphumela yokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu ingaba yingozi kangakanani. Lo msebenzi unzima futhi uyakhuthaza—sinethuba lokusiza imiphakathi yasogwini neminye ethintekile ukuthi yakhe kabusha (noma ithuthe ngobuhlakani) ingqalasizinda yayo futhi ibuyisele izikhindi zayo zemvelo nezinye izinhlelo. Sigxila emizamweni yethu nge-The Ocean Foundation I-Blue Resilience Initiative kanye neCariMar Initiative phakathi kokunye. Phakathi kwale mizamo, sisebenzisana nozakwethu ukwakha Inethiwekhi Yeziqhingi Eziqinile Zesimo Sezulu ukuze sisebenzele ukubuyisela ukumelana nesimo sezulu okusekelwe emvelweni kotshani basolwandle, imihlume namaxhaphozi kasawoti.

I-Ocean Acidification: I-Ocean acidification iyinselelo eba nkulu minyaka yonke. I-TOF I-International Ocean Acidification Initiative (I-IOAI) yakhelwe ukusiza amazwe asogwini ukuthi aqaphe amanzi awo, ahlonze amasu okunciphisa, futhi asebenzise izinqubomgomo zokusiza ukwenza amazwe abo angabi sengozini emiphumeleni ye-acidification yolwandle. Januwari 8^th, 2021 kuwusuku lwesithathu lwaminyaka yonke lwe-Ocean Acidification Day, futhi i-Ocean Foundation iyaziqhenya ngokuma nenethiwekhi yayo yomhlaba wonke yozakwethu ukuze igubhe ukufezwa kwemizamo yethu ehlangene yokunciphisa nokuqapha imiphumela yokugcwala kwe-asidi olwandle emiphakathini yethu yasendaweni. I-Ocean Foundation itshale imali engaphezu kuka-USD$3m ekubhekaneni ne-acidification yolwandle, isungula izinhlelo ezintsha zokuqapha emazweni ayi-16, yakha izinqumo zesifunda ezintsha zokuthuthukisa ukubambisana, kanye nokuklama izinhlelo ezintsha ezingabizi kakhulu ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukusatshalaliswa ngokulinganayo kwamandla ocwaningo lwe-acidification olwandle. Ozakwethu be-IOAI e-Mexico bakha inqolobane yokuqala ngqa yedatha yesayensi yolwandle ukuze kuqiniswe ukugadwa kwe-acidity yolwandle kanye nempilo yolwandle. E-Ecuador, ozakwethu e-Galapagos bafunda ukuthi i-ecosystem ezungeze izintuba zemvelo ze-CO2 zijwayelana kanjani ne-pH ephansi, okusinika ukuqonda ngezimo zolwandle ezizayo.

Yenza shift blue: Ngokubona ukuthi kuzogxilwa kakhulu kuzo zonke izizwe kuzoba ukusimama komnotho kwangemva kwe-COVID-19 kanye nokuqina kwekusasa elibonakalayo, i-Blue Shift yokwakha kabusha kangcono, futhi ngokuqhubekayo ifika ngesikhathi. Ngenxa yokuthi cishe bonke ohulumeni baphokophela ukufaka usizo lomnotho kanye nokudala amathuba emisebenzi kumaphakethe okusabela nge-coronavirus, kubalulekile ukugcizelela okwakhelwe izinzuzo zezomnotho nezenhlalo zeBlue Economy esimeme. Lapho umsebenzi wethu wezomnotho usulungele ukuqalisa kabusha, kufanele ngokuhlanganyela siqinisekise ukuthi ibhizinisi liyaqhubeka ngaphandle kwemikhuba efanayo elimazayo ezogcina ilimaze abantu kanye nemvelo ngokufanayo. Umbono wethu we-Blue Economy entsha ugxile ezimbonini (njengezokudoba nezokuvakasha) ezithembele ezinhlelweni zemvelo zasogwini ezinempilo, kanye nalezo ezidala amathuba emisebenzi ahambisana nezinhlelo ezithile zokubuyisela esimweni, kanye nalezo ezidala izinzuzo zezezimali ngokuqhubekayo.

Ushintsho luqala ngathi. Kubhulogi yangaphambili, ngikhulume ngezinqumo ezibalulekile zokunciphisa imiphumela emibi yemisebenzi yethu olwandle-ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezizungezile. travel . Ngakho-ke lapha ngizokwengeza ukuthi wonke umuntu angasiza. Singakwazi ukunaka ukusetshenziswa kanye ne-carbon footprint yakho konke esikwenzayo. Singakwazi ukuvimbela imfucuza yepulasitiki futhi sinciphise izikhuthazo zokukhiqizwa kwayo. Thina kwa-TOF sigxile emakhambi enqubomgomo nasembonweni wokuthi sidinga ukusungula isigaba samapulasitiki—ukuthola ezinye izindlela zangempela ezingadingekile nokwenza lula ama-polymer asetshenziselwa izinhlelo zokusebenza ezidingekayo—ukushintsha ipulasitiki ngokwayo isuke ku-Complex, Customized & Contaminated to Safe, Simple. & Kusezingeni.

Kuyiqiniso ukuthi intando yezombangazwe yokusebenzisa izinqubomgomo ezilungele ulwandle incike kithi sonke, futhi kufanele ihlanganise nokubona amazwi awo wonke umuntu othinteke kabi futhi asebenzele ukuthola izixazululo ezinobulungisa ezingasishiyi lapho sikhona— indawo lapho ukulimala okukhulu olwandle nakho kuyizingozi ezinkulu emiphakathini esengozini. Uhlu 'lokwenza' lukhulu—kodwa siqala u-2021 sinethemba elikhulu lokuthi umphakathi uzoba khona ukubuyisela impilo nokuchichima olwandle lwethu.
