Flower Msuya
Flower Ezekiel Msuya (alizaliwa mwaka 1959) ni mtaalamu wa magugumaji (stadi za mwani) kutoka nchini Tanzania. Ana utaalamu katika algaculture (kilimo cha mwani wa baharini) na aquaculture (kilimobahari).[1]
Maisha ya awali na elimu
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Flower Ezekiel Msuya alizaliwa mwaka 1959 katika kijiji cha Kifula[2] (Ugweno), sehemu ya Wilaya ya Mwanga katika Mkoa wa Kilimanjaro nchini Tanzania.[3] Alipata Shahada ya kwanza (BSc) katika botani na takwimu kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam.[3] Alipata Shahada ya Uzamili (MSc) katika uvuvi na aquaculture kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Kuopio nchini Finland.[2] Kwa msingi wa kozi ya phycology (masomo ya algae na seaweed),[3] alijenga shauku kuhusu kilimo cha magugmaji. Alipata PhD katika aquaculture iliyounganishwa na seaweed kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Tel Aviv mwaka 2004.[1] Utafiti wake, "The Influence of Culture Regimes on the Performance of Seaweed Biofilters in Integrated Mariculture", ulijikita katika kutumia magugumaji kama chujioasili kwa maji ya taka kutoka kwa samaki.[4]
Kazi
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Kuanzia mwaka 1993 hadi 1996, Msuya alifanya utafiti kuhusu athari za kijamii na mazingira za kilimo cha mwani.[2][5] Aliongoza kuanzishwa kwa kilimo cha magugumaji kusini mwa Tanzania mwaka 1995 na 1996.[2][5] Kuanzia mwaka 2005 amekuwa akifanya utafiti kuhusu teknolojia za kuongeza thamani ya magugumaji (kwa mfano, kutengeneza mitandao ya tubuli).[2]
Tangu mwaka 2017, Msuya amekuwa sehemu ya timu inayotekeleza mradi wa GlobalSeaweedSTAR ili kulinda mustakabali wa aquaculture ya magugumajji dhidi ya athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi katika nchi kama Tanzania, Ufilipino na Malaysia. Mradi huu unashirikisha Scottish Association of Marine Science (SAMS) na unafadhiliwa na UK Research and Innovation Global Challenges Research Fund.[6]
Msuya amefanya kazi kama afisa utafiti katika Taasisi ya Utafiti wa Uvuvi ya Tanzania (TAFIRI) huko Kigoma, Tanzania. Yeye ni mtaalamu mstaafu na mchunguzi mkuu katika Biolojia ya Baharini katika Taasisi ya Sayansi ya Baharini ya Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam kilichopo Zanzibar.[7] Mahitaji ya kukuza sekta ya Tanzania ili kuhimili athari za mazingira ni kipengele muhimu cha kazi yake.[8]
Msuya ni mmoja wa wakufunzi watano wa kimataifa katika Innovation na Cluster Facilitation. Anafundisha kuhusu teknolojia za kilimo cha magugumaji, kuongeza thamani na kuunganisha magugumaji na bidhaa zingine za baharini kama matango bahari, majumba ya samaki na samaki wa baharini.[9]
Msuya amefanya kazi na FAO, WIEGO, UNIDO na WWF. Amechangia kuanzishwa kwa kilimo cha seaweed katika Mauritius, Rodrigues na Mayotte.[2]
Yeye ni mwanachama wa Tropical Agriculture Association (TAA), Royal Society of Biology (RSB),[2] World Aquaculture Society (WAS),[10] International Seaweed Association (ISA), Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association (WIOMSA) na Pan African Competitiveness Forum (PACF).[2]
Msuya ni mwasisi na mwenyekiti wa Zanzibar Seaweed Cluster Initiative (ZaSCI). Kama sehemu ya mpango huu, amechangia kutengeneza bidhaa za seaweed[11] ikiwemo poda, vipodozi na vyakula.[12][9] ZaSCI pia inasaidia Zanzibar kupanua uchakataji wa seaweed kwa kutekeleza mimea ya uchakataji ya seaweed kwa semi-refined carrageenan (geli inayopima ubora wa seaweeds nyekundu zinazolimwa visiwani).[2]
