Admin SDGS — Tue, 02 Apr 2024 03:39:31 +0000

Surabaya, 2 April 2024 - Sustainable Development Goals 14 (SDG 14), yang dirumuskan oleh Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB) menegaskan pentingnya menjaga dan mengelola laut dan lautan secara berkelanjutan. SDG 14 memiliki tujuan utama yaitu untuk melestarikan keanekaragaman hayati laut, memastikan pemanfaatan sumber daya laut yang berkelanjutan, dan menangani masalah lingkungan laut seperti polusi plastik, asam laut, serta penangkapan ikan yang berlebihan. Di samping itu, SDG 14 juga menargetkan peningkatan pengetahuan ilmiah, peningkatan kapasitas penelitian, dan promosi teknologi ramah lingkungan dalam sektor kelautan dan perikanan.

PBB telah menunjukkan komitmen yang kuat dalam mencapai SDG 14 melalui berbagai inisiatif, termasuk penyelenggaraan UN Ocean Conference. Konferensi ini memberikan platform bagi negara-negara anggota PBB, lembaga internasional, dan pemangku kepentingan untuk bertukar gagasan dan menyepakati langkah-langkah konkret dalam upaya melindungi dan mengelola sumber daya laut secara berkelanjutan. Konferensi pertama diadakan pada tahun 2017 di New York, dan konferensi selanjutnya akan diselenggarakan pada tahun 2025 di Perancis.

Selain upaya global yang telah dilakukan oleh PBB, Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) juga berperan aktif dalam mendukung pencapaian SDG 14. Melalui Fakultas Perikanan dan Kelautan (FPK), UNAIR menyelenggarakan acara tahunan bernama International Conference on Fisheries and Marine Sciences (INCOFIMS). Konferensi ini menjadi wadah para akademisi, peneliti, dan praktisi untuk berdiskusi mengenai strategi dan langkah-langkah strategis dalam optimalisasi sumber daya perairan, khususnya di Indonesia. INCOFIMS juga mewadahi publikasi penelitian yang membantu masyarakat.

Tidak hanya dalam ranah akademis, UNAIR juga terlibat dalam tiindakan nyata untuk mendukung konservasi laut. Ketika terjadi insiden tragis di Pantai Modung, Madura, dengan terdamparnya 50 paus, tim dari Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan (FKH) UNAIR segera merespon dengan melakukan evakuasi paus-paus tersebut. Tim FKH dibagi menjadi 2, yaitu antemortem dan postmortem. Tim antemortem berfokus melakukan penyelamatan pada paus yang masih hidup dan tim postmortem melakukan observasi dan identifikasi terhadap paus yang sudah mati untuk dijadikan bahan otopsi. Mereka juga mengumpulkan sampel untuk pemeriksaan patologi guna menentukan penyebab pasti terdamparnya paus-paus tersebut.

Komitmen bersama baik dari PBB maupun UNAIR menandakan kesungguhan dalam menjaga keberlanjutan sumber daya laut dan lautan. Langkah-langkah ini memerlukan kolaborasi lintas sektor dan kesadaran bersama akan pentingnya menjaga kelestarian laut bagi kesejahteraan bersama.
