Uhlelo lwe-EAF-Nansen linomkhulu umthelela ekukhuthazeni izindlela ze-ecosystem ekuphathweni kwemboni yokudoba, lugxile ekuxhumekeni kwesimiso sezinto eziphilayo zasolwandle kanye nomthelela wemisebenzi yabantu emvelweni. Kule minyaka engu-50 edlule, lolu hlelo lube negalelo elikhulu ekuthuthukisweni kocwaningo lwesayensi yasolwandle namandla okuphatha e-Afrika kanye naseBay of Bengal.

Kusukela ekugxilweni kwalo ekuthuthukisweni kwezindawo zokudoba kuya ekugcizeleleni kwalo izindlela ze-ecosystem ekuphathweni kwemboni yokudoba, lolu hlelo seluthuthukile ukuze lubhekane nezidingo eziguqukayo zemvelo yasolwandle.”

Uhlelo lwe-EAF-Nansen luyisibonelo esihle kakhulu sokuzibophezela kwethu ekukhuthazeni ukusetshenziswa okuqhubekayo kwemithombo yasolwandle.”
Lo mgubho weminyaka engama-50 woHlelo lwe-EAF-Nansen uyingqopha-mlando ebalulekile emlandweni wokubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe ocwaningweni nokuphatha lwesayensi yasolwandle. Njengoba lolu hlelo luqhubeka nokuthuthuka futhi lubhekane nezinselele ezisafufusa, luhlala luwubufakazi bamandla okubambisana ekukhuthazeni intuthuko esimeme kanye nokuphathwa kwemvelo.
