第 26 期 | 蓝色脉搏·海洋生命共同体速递

日期:

本期重点关注日本准备排放核废水的争议决定,除此以外,也有两位海洋科学家对于最近大火的网飞纪录片《海洋阴谋》评价。

导语 Introduction

关键点一

这一个月来,海洋再次成为全世界注目的焦点,先是因为苏伊士运河堵塞导致的航运危机,接着是这两周因为日本准备排放福岛核处理水的决定。本期解读版块收录了一篇文章回顾了福岛事故十年以来的应对灾难的历程以及人们为什么对东京电力缺乏信心。两个地点,因为海洋,就可以牵动全世界的心。海洋命运共同体仿佛一下子从词汇变成了现实,而命运是向好还是向坏则要看共同体里的成员的集体选择了。

Highlight 1

The oceans have once again been in the world’s spotlight this month, first because of the shipping crisis caused by the obstruction of the Suez Canal, and then  Japan’s decision to discharge the treated nuclear wastewater from Fukushima. This issue’s Interpretation section includes an article looking back at the response to the disaster ten years on from Fukushima and why there is a lack of confidence in TEPCO. Two locations, because of the ocean, can raise concerns of the world. It is as if the community of shared future has suddenly gone from being a word to reality, and it is up to the collective choices of the members of the community to decide how their future should look like.

关键点二

网飞的纪录片《海洋阴谋》(Seaspiracy)自3月底上映以来引发了复杂的反响,据说有不少观众看了之后就决定不吃海产品了。这部电影中提及的问题也一直是《蓝色脉搏》关注的,本期的观点部分收录了两位科学家对该片的评论(剧透慎入!),可以帮助观众更理性地看待这部纪录片。建议还是先看片再来读评论。《蓝色脉搏》鼓励关心热爱海洋的朋友勇于面对海洋问题的复杂性,勤学习多讨论,而不是一头埋入过于简单化的答案中。

Highlight 2

Netflix’s documentary Seaspiracy has generated mixed response since its release at the end of March, with a number of viewers reportedly deciding not to eat seafood after watching it. The issues raised in the film have also been our interest, and this issue’s Opinion section features commentaries on the film from two scientists (spoiler alert!) , which will help viewers to take a more rational view of the documentary. It is advisable to watch the film before reading the commentaries. The Blue Pulse would encourage those who care about and love the oceans to face the complexity of ocean issues and to learn and discuss them rather than dive headfirst into oversimplified answers.

(1)贾桂德:“推动建设公正合理的国际海洋秩序,特别需要妥善处理以下三方面问题:一是合理平衡海洋保护与可持续利用;二是加强海洋治理机制协同增效和普惠;三是处理好海洋法继承与发展的关系。“

Jia Guide:” We need to in particular properly handle the following three issues so as to develop a fair and reasonable global ocean order: (a) to strike a balance between ocean protection and sustainable use; (b) to enhance the synergy and shared benefits of ocean governance mechanisms; (c) to properly balance the continuation and development of the law of the sea.”

(2) Alex Rogers:“ 它(纪录片《海洋阴谋》)虽然有错误,有时只介绍了故事的一部分或者用不完整的信息来配合整体的叙述。但是,它的核心揭示了一个令人震惊的事实,即不可持续的捕捞活动正在摧毁海洋的生物多样性。而负责渔业管理的政府部门明知这样做会对人类产生严重后果。”

Alex Rogers: “ It (Seaspiracy) contains errors and sometimes presents only part of the story to suit the narrative or just confusing incomplete information. At its core, however, it reveals the shocking truth that unsustainable fishing is destroying the biodiversity of the ocean, with clear knowledge of the authorities in charge of fisheries management and with dire consequences for humankind.”

(3)Daniel Pauly:“《海洋阴谋》叙事的侧重点有所偏颇,以至于没能说出真正需要传播的关键信息: 那就是人们需要共同努力,推动政策和行业规则的改变,从而来控制一个经常违法但是屡屡逃脱惩罚的行业。”

Daniel Pauly:” Seaspiracy undermines its tremendous potential value: to persuade people to work together, and push for change in policy and rules that will rein in an industry which often breaks the law with impunity.”

(1)中外对话海洋:“十四五”海洋生态环境蓝图

于3月11日闭幕的全国“两会”通过了“十四五”规划纲要。作为中国宣布碳中和目标后出台的第一份五年规划,其中的气候能源类目标在今年广受国内外关注。海洋是气候之外另一个具有超越国家边界的深远影响的领域,在这份新的规划纲要中,海洋专章中的诸多表述表明中国将在海洋领域向外拓展生态环保理念。

On March 11, the 14th Five Year Plan (FYP) for economic and social development was approved. In particular, its climate and energy targets received great attention both domestically and internationally. The FYP has a standalone section on the ocean that for the first time includes the word sustainable in relation to distant-water fishing, and suggests China’s environmental ideas will be extended overseas.

(2)Laura Castanon: 福岛第一核电站和海洋:十年来的灾难应对

2011年3月11日,日本仙台市以东80英里处发生里氏9级地震,引发的海啸猛烈冲击海岸线,使福岛第一核电站严重受损。十年后的今天,核电站的所有者——东京电力公司,因为决策过程的不透明,仍然难以赢得大众的信任。

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake 80 miles east of the Japanese city of Sendai generated a towering tsunami that slammed into the coastline and critically damaged the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. Since then, the Tokyo Electric Power Company, which owns the plant, continues struggling to gain trust from the public due to a lack of transparency in their decision processes.

(3) 世界自然基金会:海里的塑料会影响我们的健康吗?

在对555个海洋和河口鱼类物种的171,774条个体进行研究后发现,有超过三分之二的物种存在摄入微塑料的现象,共计为386个物种,其中210个物种因具有经济价值成为了商业捕捞的目标。不仅如此,研究还强调海洋鱼类摄入微塑料的概率在过去十年里翻了一番,且还在以每年2%以上的速度增长

After studying 171,774 individuals from 555 marine and freshwater fish species, scientists have found microplastics in more than two-thirds, a total of 386 fish species. Of all the 386 species, 210 of which were targeted for commercial fishing due to their economic value. Moreover, the study stresses that the case of ingestion of microplastics by marine fish has doubled in the last 10 years, and continues to increase by more than 2% per year.

(4) 世界经济论坛: 海洋稳定性和它的意义

随着全球气温的升高,海洋不同层级间的互动正在变得越来越少。这对海洋生物和气候都会造成破坏。最近的一项研究发现,这一变化的速度比科学家预期的快了六倍。

 As global temperatures rise, the world’s oceans are technically becoming more stable, which can be damaging for ocean life and the climate. A recent study has found that the stability of the ocean increased at a rate that was six times faster than scientists were anticipating.

(5)Trang Chu Minh:鲨鱼保护的五个误解

五个有关鲨鱼保护的误解必须被澄清:(a) 鲨鱼对人类比人类对鲨鱼更危险 (b)只有在亚洲,鲨鱼才会因为它的鱼鳍被捕杀 (c) 鲨鱼面对的威胁只有过度捕捞 (d) 禁止割取和销售鲨鱼的鱼鳍是唯一的解决办法 (e) 关于鲨鱼的旅游活动对于保护工作总是有利无害的。

Here are five myths that must be debunked to improve shark conservation efforts:(a) Sharks pose more of a threat to humans than vice versa (b) Sharks are hunted only for their fins, and only in Asia (c) Sharks are only threatened by overfishing (d) A ban on shark finning or the sale of shark fins is the only solution (e) Shark tourism always benefits conservation efforts
