Sonke siyazi ukuthi ukuphila emhlabeni kuvela ngaphansi kwe-World Ocean, okuyi-70% yomhlaba wonke. Ukubunjwa kwezwe kuhlanganisa izindawo ezine ezinkulu ezinkulu: ama-Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic kanye namaNdiya.
Namhlanje ulwandle ludlala indima ebalulekile ekuphileni komunye wethu. Ngesizo salo, isimo sezulu eMhlabeni silawulwa. Amanzi e-World Ocean athatha i-carbon dioxide futhi asinike umoya-mpilo. Njalo ngonyaka ulwandle londla abantu abaningi emhlabeni futhi lunikeza imithi edingekayo. Lihlala nenani elikhulu lezinto eziphilayo ezihlukahlukene. Futhi uma sifuna ukuqinisekisa impilo ephilile thina kanye nenzalo yethu, kubaluleke kakhulu ukunakekelwa kolwandle futhi uyinakekele. Ngempela, ekuzama ukulondoloza impilo yezilwandle zomhlaba, sicabanga ngekusasa lomhlaba wethu wonke.
Kukhona isayensi ekhethekile - i-oceanology - eyenziwa ekutadisheni kwe-World Ocean. Ukungena ekujuleni kolwandle, ososayensi bathola izinhlobo ezintsha zokuphila zasolwandle nemfuyo. Lokhu kutholakala kubaluleke kakhulu kubo bonke abantu.
Iyini Usuku Lomhlaba Wama-Oceans?
Ekupheleni kuka-1992, enkomfeni yomhlaba ebizwa ngokuthi "iPlanet Earth", eyayiqhutshwa eBrazil, kwaphakanyiswa ukuthi kuqalwe iholidi elisha - Usuku Lwezilwandle Zomhlaba, oluhunyushwa ngesiNgisi ngoSuku lwamaLwandle oMhlaba futhi lugujwa minyaka yonke ngoJuni 8. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, leli holide ligujwa yibo bonke, ngendlela eyodwa noma enye, abahilelekile ezinkingeni ze-World Ocean. Ekuqaleni leli holide yayingavumelekile. Futhi kusukela ngo-2009, uSuku Lomhlaba Wama-Oceans luyabonwa yi-UN General Assembly njengeholide elisemthethweni. Namuhla, abangu-124 bathi basayina isimemezelo ngokugubha usuku lwe-World Ocean.
Namuhla, ichthyologists kanye nezomvelo, abasebenzi base-aquarium, i- dolphinariums nama- zoos bafuna ukuhlanganisa yonke imizamo yokuvikela amalungelo empilo yasolwandle, nokulwa nokuhlanzeka kwemvelo yolwandle nolwandle.
Usuku Lomhlaba WamaLwandle lunencazelo yemvelo. Ngosizo lwalolu holide, abasunguli bayo babefuna ukunaka umphakathi wonke womhlaba esimweni se-World Ocean nasekulondolozeni izakhamuzi zawo. Phela, ulwandle luyisimiso esiyingqayizivele semvelo esisekela ukulinganiswa kwezinto eziphilayo. Kodwa ukungenelela kwabantu kuye kwaholela ekutheni lokhu kulinganisa kuphulwa njalo: njalo ngonyaka e-World Ocean, cishe izinhlobo eziyizinkulungwane zempilo yasolwandle ziyanyamalala.
Sonke siyazi ukuthi namuhla inkinga yokungcola kwesimo sezulu ngamagesi okushisa kunzima kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ubuningi kanye nekhwalithi yamanzi okuphuza eMhlabeni liwohloka. Ukuvalwa kwezilwandle nolwandle, ukubhujiswa okungalawulwa kwemithombo yasolwandle, kancane kancane kuholele ekubhujisweni kwemvelo yonke yolwandle. Ososayensi babikezela ukuthi ngo-2015 ubuciko bamanzi ase-oceanic bungakhuphuka ngo-150%, okuzoholela ekufeni cishe cishe konke ukuphila komkhumbi.
Njalo ngonyaka ngoJuni 8, emhlabeni jikelele, izenzo eziningi ezihlukahlukene zemvelo zihleliwe, ngosizo lwabo abahleli abazama ukudlulisela kubo bonke abantu isidingo sokuvikela i-World Ocean. Kulolu suku, imibukiso ehlukahlukene, imikhosi, izingqungquthela, imihlangano emikhulu, izingxoxo zasolwandle isihloko.
Njalo ngonyaka, ukugubha uSuku Lomhlaba WamaLwandle kuqhutshwa ngaphansi kwe-mottos ehlukahlukene. Isibonelo, ngo-2015 bekuzwakala njengokuthi "amaLwandle enempilo, iplanethi enempilo".
Ngakho-ke, ukugubha uSuku Lwase-World Ocean, isintu sinethuba lokulondoloza imvelo, impilo yasolwandle kanye nezilwane. Futhi ukukhathazeka okunjalo ngabakhileyo e-World Ocean kuzovimbela ukuqothulwa kwezilwane eziningi nezitshalo, okuyokwenza ukuthi impilo yethu iguqulwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
