Ingabe ufuna ukufunda okwengeziwe mayelana nokusebenza kwangaphakathi koMkhandlu we-ISA? Bheka wethu Imihlangano kaMashi iyasongwa ukuze uthole ukubukeka okuningiliziwe.

Lokho esikuthandayo:

• Ayikho Ikhodi Yezimayini eyamukelwa futhi akukho mnqamulajuqu wokuphothula Ikhodi Yezimayini eyanqunywa. Izihambeli zavuma ukusebenzela ukuqeda imithetho esalungiswa ngo-2025, kodwa ngaphandle kokuzibophezela okungokomthetho.
• Ngokokuqala ngqa emlandweni we-ISA, ingxoxo ngokuvikelwa kwemvelo yasolwandle, okuhlanganisa ukumiswa okwesikhashana noma ukumiswa kwezimayini ezijulile zolwandle kwafakwa ku-ajenda. Ingxoxo yaqale yavinjwa, kodwa kwathi sekusele ihora kuvalwa imihlangano, amazwe avuma ukuphinde acubungule le nto emihlanganweni yoMhlangano kaJulayi 2024.

Lapho i-ISA yahluleka khona:

• Abakwa-ISA izinqubo zokuphatha ezimbi kanye nokungabi bikho obala iqhubekile nokuba nomthelela kuyo yomibili imihlangano yoMkhandlu noMkhandlu. 
• Ukumiswa okuhlongozwayo noma ukumiswa kwezimayini ezijuleni kolwandle kwakusohlelweni, kodwa ingxoxo yavinjwa - ikakhulukazi ithimba elilodwa - futhi intshisekelo yavezwa enkulumweni yezingxoxo ngesihloko, okwashiya ithuba lokuzama ukuvimba izingxoxo ezihlobene nekusasa. 
• Izingxoxo ezibalulekile zenzeke ngaphandle kweminyango evaliwe, ezinsukwini eziningi nasezintweni ze-ajenda.
• Imikhawulo ebalulekile zafakwa kwabezindaba - i-ISA ihlose ukuvimbela abezindaba ekugxekeni i-ISA - kanye nezingqapheli ze-NGO kanye nososayensi abeza emihlanganweni.

Funda kabanzi ngezansi ukuze uthole ukucutshungulwa komsebenzi we-TOF e-ISA kanye nokwenzeka phakathi nemihlangano yoMkhandlu noMkhandlu.

I-Ocean Foundation isebenze ukuze kumiswe umhlangano ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwamagumbi omhlangano, yethula amazwi asemthethweni phansi futhi ixhase iSustainable Ocean Alliance Youth Symposium kanye nombukiso wobuciko ohlobene. Bobbi-Jo Dobush, umholi we-TOF wakwa-DSM, ukhulume neqembu lezishoshovu zentsha ezingama-23 ezihlanganiswe yi-Ecovybz kanye ne-Sustainable Ocean Alliance abavela kulo lonke elaseLatin America naseCaribbean ngezindaba zezezimali nezikweletu ne-DSM, kanye nesimo samanje semithetho esalungiswa. 

Inani eliphakeme kakhulu lama-TOF UMaddie Warner wakhuluma ngesikhathi semihlangano yoMkhandlu mayelana nezikhala ezikhona kumithethonqubo ewuhlaka, edingida ukuthi imithethonqubo ayikakalungeli nje kuphela ukwamukelwa, kodwa okwamanje iyiziba inkambiso ejwayelekile yokuba nesikweletu. Uphinde waphawula nesidingo sokugcina isiqinisekiso sokusebenza kwemvelo (iqoqo lezimali eziklanyelwe ukuvimbela noma ukulungisa umonakalo wendawo), ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ngisho noma usonkontileka efayela ngokuqothuka, imali izohlala ikhona ukuze kulungiswe imvelo. Kulandela ukuphusha kwe-TOF kokucutshungulwa kwe-Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) emihlanganweni ye-ISA yangoMashi 2023, kanye nemihlangano eminingi yokuhlangana eholwa yiFederated States of Micronesia, ngaphambi kwemihlangano kaJulayi, kwaba nengxoxo ebanzi mayelana nokuthi kwenziwa kanjani futhi kanjani. cabangela i-UCH. Lezi zingxoxo zaqhubeka mathupha phakathi nemihlangano kaJulayi, ngokubamba iqhaza okusebenzayo kwe-TOF, inikela ngeminikelo ehlanganisa i-UCH ezinhlolovo eziyisisekelo futhi njengengxenye yesidingo sokuqhubeka nokusebenza ngendlela engcono kakhulu yokufaka i-UCH kumithetho esalungiswa.

UMkhandlu we-ISA (Amaviki 1 no-2)

Ngesikhathi sekhefu lesidlo sasemini isonto lonke, imibuso yayihlangana ezingxoxweni ezivaliwe ukuze kuxoxwe ngezinqumo ezimbili, esisodwa somthetho weminyaka emibili/kuthiwani uma isimo, esiphelelwe yisikhathi ngaphambi nje kokuqala kwezikhathi zoMkhandlu kaJulayi (Kuthiwani uma futhi? Thola lapha), kanye nomunye kumephu womgwaqo ohlongozwayo/umugqa wesikhathi oya phambili.

Amazwe amaningi aphikisa ngokuthi ukugxila ezingxoxweni zokuthi kwenziweni uma uhlelo lomsebenzi lwalabo abafuna ukumba izimayini beluthunyelwa kwakubaluleke kakhulu kunokuchitha izinsuku zemihlangano ezinomkhawulo engxoxweni yomugqa wesikhathi. Ekugcineni, yomibili imibhalo yaxoxisana ngokufana kwaze kwaba sebusuku ngosuku lokugcina futhi yamukelwa yomibili. Ezinqumweni, imibuso yaqinisekisa inhloso yazo yokuqhubeka nokuchaza kabanzi Ikhodi Yezimayini ngenhloso yokuqeda ekupheleni konyaka wezi-2025 kanye nasekupheleni kweseshini yama-30, kodwa ngaphandle kokuzibophezela (Funda isinqumo soMkhandlu mayelana nomthetho weminyaka emibili lapha, kanye nomugqa wesikhathi lapha). Yomibili le mibhalo ithi akukho ukumbiwa kwezentengiselwano okufanele kwenziwe ngaphandle kweKhodi Yezimayini egcwalisiwe.

Inkampani Yezinsimbi (ozoba ngumvukuzi osogwini lolwandle ngemuva komzamo wokujaha ukukhanyisela imboni) ungene ebhange ngalo Julayi okuyisiqalo sokumbiwa kwe-deep-sea, kodwa akunikezwanga ukukhanya okuluhlaza. UMkhandlu we-ISA nawo wehlulekile ukuvala igebe lezomthetho elingavumela imboni ukuthi iqale. Lokhu kusho ukuthi usongo lwezimayini ezijulile zolwandle luseyinto engenzeka, kodwa ukumelana nomphakathi we-NGO, kuhlanganise ne-The Ocean Foundation, kunamandla.  Indlela yokunqanda lokhu iwukumisa, futhi lokho kudinga ohulumeni abengeziwe egumbini le-ISA Assembly, umgwamanda ophakeme we-ISA, ukuvikela ulwandle futhi uqhubekisele izingxoxo ekuvimbeleni le mboni ebhubhisayo.

Umhlangano (Iviki 3)

I-ISA Assembly, indikimba ye-ISA emele wonke Amazwe Angamalungu e-ISA ayi-168, inamandla okusungula umgomo ojwayelekile we-ISA wokumisa okwesikhashana noma ukumisa ukumbiwa kwezimayini ezijuleni zolwandle. Ingxoxo ngokuvikeleka kwemvelo yasolwandle, okuhlanganisa ukumiswa noma ukumiswa kokumba izimayini ezijuleni kolwandle yayisohlelweni ngokokuqala ngqa emlandweni we-ISA, kodwa ingxoxo yavinjwa - ikakhulukazi ithimba elilodwa - emgudwini owaletha okuhamba phambili ngokushiyeka kokubusa kwe-ISA, umgwamanda owenzelwe ukuvikela ulwandle ukuze kuzuze ifa elivamile lesintu. 

Ihora ngaphambi kokuvalwa komhlangano, kwafinyelelwa esivumelwaneni lapho amazwe avumelana ne-ajenda yesikhashana yemihlangano kaJulayi 2024 equkethe ingxoxo yokongiwa kwemvelo yasolwandle, ngenhloso yokumiswa. Baphinde bavuma ukwenza ingxoxo yokubuyekezwa kwesikhungo sombuso we-ISA, njengoba kudingekile njalo eminyakeni emihlanu, ngo-2024. Kodwa-ke, ithimba elalivimbe ingxoxo laphawula intshisekelo enkulumweni yezingxoxo eziphathelene nokufaka into ye-ajenda yokumisa, okushiya kuvuleke amathuba ukuzama ukuvimba ingxoxo yokumiswa konyaka ozayo.

Umnyakazo wokumisa okwesikhashana noma ukumiswa kwezimayini ezijuleni kolwandle ungokoqobo futhi uyakhula, futhi udinga ukuqashelwa ngokusemthethweni kuzo zonke izinqubo ze-ISA. Kubalulekile ukuthi lolu daba lukhulunywe kuMkhandlu we-ISA ngaphansi kohlu lwe-ajenda, lapho wonke Amazwe Angamalungu engaba nezwi.

Lo mhlangano uhlanganisa unyaka ogcwele kusukela i-Ocean Foundation yaba ngumbukeli osemthethweni we-ISA.

I-TOF iyingxenye yenani elikhulayo lezinhlangano zomphakathi ezijoyine izingxoxo e-ISA ukuze kugqugquzelwe ukucabangela imvelo yasolwandle nalabo abathembele kuyo, futhi ikhumbuze Imibuso ngemisebenzi yazo yokuba ngabaphathi bezilwandle: ifa elivamile lesintu. .
