Matanthwe a matanthwe akufa. Kupha nsomba mopambanitsa kukuwononga kuchuluka kwa anthu apanyanja. Ma gyre apulasitiki akutsamwitsa zamoyo zam'madzi. Madzi amawotha komanso acidifying. Madzi a m'nyanja akukwera. Nyanja yakuya ikuyang'aniridwa ngati malire otsatsira mafakitale. Ndi namondwe wangwiro, ndipo ndife namondwe. Komabe ngakhale zonsezi, kuteteza nyanja kumakhalabe ndale, mzere mukulankhula, mawu am'munsi pazokambirana zanyengo. Chifukwa chiyani?
Timaona Nyanja Ngati Dambo ndi Mgodi.
Timachita ngati kuti nyanja ndi yaikulu kwambiri moti sitingathe kulephera. Koma tikuyesa chiphunzitsocho mofulumira. Chaka chilichonse, matani apulasitiki opitirira 11 miliyoni amalowa m’nyanja. Pofika 2050, titha kukhala ndi pulasitiki yochulukirapo kuposa nsomba polemera. Usodzi wosaloleka ndi wosalamulirika umawononga zachilengedwe zam'madzi pomwe zimawonongetsa chuma padziko lonse lapansi pafupifupi $20 biliyoni pachaka. Migodi ya m'nyanja yakuya, ngakhale kuti siyikumveka bwino, yakhala ikuwunikira m'madzi ena apadziko lonse lapansi, ndikuyika pachiwopsezo chosasinthika kuzinthu zachilengedwe zomwe sitinayambe kuphunzirapo. Zonsezi zimachitika pamalo omwe nthawi zambiri amakhala kupyola malire a mayiko: nyanja zazikulu. Kwa zaka zambiri, dera lalikululi lakhala la Wild West la zochitika zapadziko lonse lapansi ndipo lakhala losayendetsedwa ndi malamulo, likudyeredwa masuku pamutu, ndi kunyalanyazidwa.
Kuwala kwa Chiyembekezo
Mu 2023, patatha pafupifupi zaka makumi awiri akukambirana, bungwe la United Nations lidavomereza Pangano la Panyanja Zapamwamba, sitepe yomwe anthu akhala akuyembekeza kwa nthawi yayitali yoyang'anira ntchito za anthu kupitilira madzi amitundu yonse. Imalonjeza madera atsopano otetezedwa a m'madzi, kuwunika momwe chilengedwe chikuyendera, komanso kugawana koyenera kwazinthu zamtundu wa m'madzi.
Ndi mbiri yopambana. Koma sikokwanira. Ndi 8% yokha ya nyanja yapadziko lonse lapansi yomwe ili yotetezedwa pakadali pano, ndipo zambiri mwachitetezo chimenecho sichimayendetsedwa bwino. Zolinga zapadziko lonse lapansi ndi 30% pofika chaka cha 2030. Koma madera otetezedwa pamapepala samateteza zachilengedwe pokhapokha atayang'aniridwa, kuyang'aniridwa, ndikulemekezedwa. Nthawi zambiri timalankhula za carbon, koma osati zokwanira za mafunde. Nyanja zayamwa kupitirira 90% ya kutentha kochuluka kuchokera ku kutentha kwa dziko ndi kupitirira 30% ya mpweya wathu wa carbon. Pochita zimenezi, iwo atiteteza ku nyengo yoipa kwambiri ndi ndalama zawo. Kutentha kwa m'nyanja kumabweretsa kuyera kwa ma coral, kusamuka kwa nsomba, ndi kusokonezeka kwa intaneti yazakudya. Kuchuluka kwa acid kumapangitsa kuti zikhale zovuta kuti nkhono ndi plankton zikhale ndi moyo, ndikugwedeza chakudya chonse cha m'madzi.
Pakadali pano, kukwera kwa madzi a m'nyanja komwe kumachitika chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa kutentha komanso kusungunuka kwa madzi oundana kukuwopseza kusamutsa anthu mamiliyoni mazana ambiri m'mizinda ya m'mphepete mwa nyanja m'zaka zikubwerazi. Think Jakarta, Miami, Alexandria, Mumbai. Chitetezo cha m'nyanja si mbali ya vuto la nyengo. Ndi pakati.
Kodi maboma ndi mabizinesi ayenera kuchita chiyani?
Maboma aleke kukokera mapazi. Malonjezo ochepa pano ndi apo sangakwanire. Timafunikira kudzipereka kokhazikika, kukakamiza mwamphamvu, komanso kuyika ndalama momveka bwino mu sayansi, kuyang'anira, ndi kubwezeretsa. Ayenera kuletsa machitidwe owononga usodzi, kuthana ndi zombo zosaloledwa, kuwongolera kupanga pulasitiki, kuletsa migodi yapanyanja, ndikufulumizitsa kuwononga mpweya wamayendedwe apanyanja. Europe ikuchitapo kanthu, koma ngakhale ndondomeko zopita patsogolo zimalephereka chifukwa cha kusowa kokakamiza komanso kukhazikika kwadziko. Global North iyeneranso kuthandiza Global South osati ndi maphunziro, koma ndi ndalama, ukadaulo, ndi mapangano achilungamo.
Mabungwe, makamaka ogwira ntchito zapamadzi, usodzi, mafashoni, mafuta, ndi mankhwala, sangapitirize kuyang'ana nyanja ngati mtsinje wopanda mtengo. Ena akuyesa zolemba zokhazikika, maunyolo oyeretsa, ndi ma credit credits. Ndizo zabwino, koma sizokwanira. Mabungwe azinsinsi akuyenera kuchoka kuchoka kuzinthu zowonjezera kupita ku njira yotsitsimutsa pomwe kusunga thanzi la nyanja si bonasi, koma maziko. Makampani opanga mafashoni okha amatulutsa ulusi wambiri wapulasitiki m'nyanja pogwiritsa ntchito zovala zopangidwa. Zosefera zilipo. Zovala zosawonongeka za biodegradable zilipo. Komabe, popanda kulamulidwa ndi kuyankha mlandu, phindu lidzapitirizabe kukhala patsogolo pa dziko lapansi.
Kodi tingatani kodi?
Iyi si ntchito ya mayiko ndi ma CEO okha. Monga aliyense payekha, tili ndi bungwe. Chepetsani kugwiritsa ntchito pulasitiki, sankhani zakudya zam'nyanja zokhazikika, fufuzani zolemba, voterani atsogoleri omwe ali ndi nyengo zodalirika komanso zolinga zam'nyanja, thandizirani zoyeserera zoteteza m'mphepete mwa nyanja monga za Ocean Alliance padziko lonse lapansi, phunzitsani ana anu, ndikuchita zina chikwi.
Kwa nthawi yaitali nyanja zakhala zikuoneka ngati zili kutali, zachilendo, ngakhale zamuyaya. Chinyengo chimenecho n’choopsa. Iwo ndi ofooka, ndipo akusintha mofulumira chifukwa cha ife.
Kuteteza nyanja si nsomba chabe. Ndi za tsogolo la chakudya, nyengo, thanzi, ndi kukhazikika kwa dziko. Ndi za chilungamo pakati pa mayiko ndi mibadwo. Ndiko kuganiziranso malo athu mu ukonde wa moyo. Nkhani yabwino? Nyanja zimakhala zolimba ngati tizilola kuti zibwerere. Koma tiyenera kuchitapo kanthu tsopano. Osati zaka zisanu. Osati kokha pamsonkhano wotsatira wa nyengo ku Glasgow, kumene ndidzakamba nkhani mu November wotsatira, komanso pamsonkhano wotsatira wa nyengo ku Nice, kumene ndidzakamba nkhani mu June wotsatira. Tsopano. Chifukwa ngati nyanja zifa, ifenso timafa.
Kutetezedwa kwa Ocean Alliance
Ocean Alliance Conservation Member (OACM) ndi bungwe loyamba lapadziko lonse lapansi lodzipereka kulimbikitsa kasamalidwe ka nyanja ndi chitukuko chokhazikika cha zokopa alendo.
Masomphenya ake ndikuteteza zachilengedwe zam'madzi pomwe ikulimbikitsa kukula kwachuma komanso moyo wabwino.
OACM imayang'ana kwambiri pakuthandizira Marine Conservation pogwira ntchito limodzi ndi maboma, mabungwe, ndi madera am'deralo kuteteza zamoyo zam'madzi ndikukhazikitsa zokopa alendo zomwe zimathandizira kusungitsa zamoyo za m'madzi.
