Ngokwecebo lokucwaninga olwandle lwaseNingizimu Afrika, uhlelo lolwandle olusogwini lusaseyindawo enamandla amakhulu okukhula nokusungula izinto ezintsha. Ngegolide elingaphezu kuka-2 800 km kanye nomsebenzi omkhulu wokuhweba olwandle, umnotho wamanzi waseNingizimu Afrika unikeza amathuba okuthuthukiswa komnotho, ukuvikelwa kwemvelo kanye nentuthuko yesayensi.

Indawo ekhethekile yezifundo zasolwandle e-Unisa isekela ucwaningo, izinto ezintsha kanye nemikhankaso yokuzibandakanya ekhuthaza umnotho ohlala unempilo olwandle ngenkathi ikhulisa ukuvikelwa nokulondolozwa kwezinhlelo zasolwandle. Ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lwayo lwezintshisekelo zokwenza izinto ezintsha zasolwandle nezasolwandle kanye nohlelo lwezindawo ezihlakaniphile nezimiswe kahle, inyuvesi ibhekana nezinselelo ezibalulekile eziphathelene nokuthuthukiswa kolwandle, ukuphathwa kwemvelo nokukhula komnotho.

Inyuvesi isungule ubudlelwano obuyiqhingasu nezinhlelo ezihlanganisa i-Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), i-All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA), uMnyango Wezihlahla, Ezinhlobonhlobo Zezilwane Nezemvelo (DFFE), kanye ne-Moses Kotane Research Institute (MKRI).

IKolishi Lesayensi Yabantu (CHS) seliphakamise isandla ekuthuthukisweni kwe-BSc yokuqondisa izigwegwe Ezifundweni Zasolwandle, ngokubambisana neKolishi Lezolimo Nesayensi Yezemvelo kanye neKolishi Lesayensi, Ubunjiniyela Nobuchwepheshe, phakathi kokunye.

IKolishi Lomthetho njengamanje lithuthukisa uhlelo lokufunda olufushane futhi lisungula iqembu lokucwaninga ngezifundo zamasiko nezasolwandle.

Volgens Suid-Afrika se Mariene Navorsingsplan bly kusoseanografie ’n area met beduidende potensiaal vir groei en innovasie. Met meer as 2 800-kilometer kuslyn en uitgebreide maritieme handelsaktiwiteite bied Suid-Afrika se mariene ekonomie geleenthede vir ekonomiese ontwikkeling, omgewingsvolhoubaarheid en wetenskaplike vooruitgang.

Unisa se mariene-en-kusstudies-nisarea ondersteun navorsings-, innoverings- en betrokkenheidsinisiatiewe wat bydra tot volhoubare mariene ekonomieë terwyl dit die beskerming en bewaring van mariene ekostelsels bevorder. Deur die Program van Mariene en Kusinnovasies en die Program van Slim en Veerkragtige Nedersettings, spreek die universiteit kritieke uitdagings aan wat verband hou met kusontwikkeling, omgewingsbestuur en ekonomiese groei.

NgokweHlelo lezeRhubhululo lamaLwandle eSewula Afrika (South Africa's Marine Research Plan), isifundo samageganelwandle (coastal oceanography) sizakuhlala njalo siyindawana enamathuba athembisako aqakathekileko wokuhluma kanye namaqhinga amatjha. Ngemisebenzi yokurhweba eseendaweni ezingaphezu kwe-2 800 km yeendawo ezimageganelwandle kanye nemisebenzi enabileko yezamarhwebo, umnotho wezamalwandle eSewula Afrika uvula amathuba wezokuthuthukiswa komnotho, ukusimeleliswa kwebhoduluko kanye nekuthuthukisweni kwezesayensi.

Iimfundo ze-Unisa kezamalwandle nemageganelwandle zeendawana ezikhuthaza itjhuguluko zisekela irhubhululo, amaqhinga amatjha kanye nemizamo yokuzibandakanya kezefundo, lokho okufaka igalelo eminothweni esimeleleko yemalwandle kanti ibe ithuthukisa ukuvikeleka kanye nokutjhejwa kwamabhoduluko wezinto eziphila ngaphasi kwamalwandle. NgePhrogremu yayo yamaLwandle namaQhinga amatjha kezamaGeganelwandle (Programme on Marine and Coastal Innovations) kanye nePhrogremu yeenDawo zokuHlala eziHlakaniphileko nezokuHlaliswa okuSimeleleko (Programme on Marine and Coastal Innovations and Programme on Smart and Resilient Settlements), iyunivesithi ilungisa iintjhijilo eziqakathekileko ezihlobene nokuthuthukiswa kweendawo ezimageganelwandle, ekulawulweni kwebhoduluko kanye nekuhlumisweni komnotho.

Iyunivesithi seyihlome amahlelo wamano wokutjhebisana neenhlangano, kufaka phakathi i-Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), i-All-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA), uMnyango wezamaHlathi, wezokuThiya kanye nezeBhoduluko (DFFE), kanye ne-Moses Kotane Research Institute (MKRI).

Ngokwesicwangciso soPhando ngezoLwandle lwaseMzantsi Afrika, isifundo ngeelwandlekazi eziselunxwemeni kuseyinkalo enesakhono esikhulu sokukhula nokuvelisa izinto ezintsha. Ngobude obungaphaya kwekhilomitha ezili2 800 zonxweme kunye nomsebenzi omkhulu wezorhwebo kwezolwandle, uqoqosho kwezolwandle lwaseMzantsi Afrika lubonelela ngamathuba ophuhliso loqoqosho, uzinzo lokusingqongileyo kunye nenkqubela phambili kwezobunzululwazi.

Inkalo yezefundo ngezolwandle nezonxweme eUnisa ixhasa uphando, ukuveliswa kwezinto ezintsha, namanyathelo okubandakanyeka anegalelo kuqoqosho oluzinzileyo lelwandlekazi, ngelixa ikhuthaza ukhuseleko kunye nokulondolozwa kweenkqubo zezinto eziphilayo zaselwandle. Ngokusebenzisa iiNkqubo zayo ezijolise ekuVeliseni iZinto eZintsha ezinceda ukuKhusela nokuLondoloza ezoLwandle neendawo ezingaseluNxwemeni kunye neNkqubo ejolise ekwakheni iiNdawo zokuhlala ezingaseluNxwemeni ezikwaziyo ukuMelana nokuBuyela kwiMeko yeSiqhelo emva kwemingeni ethile (Marine and Coastal Innovations and Programme on Smart and Resilient Settlements). Ngoko ke, iyunivesithi ijongene nemiceli mngeni ebalulekileyo enxulumene nophuhliso lonxweme, ukongamela okusingqongileyo kunye nokukhula koqoqosho.

IYunivesithi isekele ubuhlakani obunesicwangcisoqhinga kunye nemibutho equka Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), uManyano woPhando iAll-Atlantic Ocean Research and Innovation Alliance (AAORIA), neDepartment of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (iSebe lezamaHlathi, ezoLoba kunye nokusiNgqongileyo), kwakunye neziko lophando iMoses Kotane Research Institute (MKRI).
