ʻO ka Mining Sea Deep – ʻO ka hoʻokolohua Pākīpika

Ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Nautilus Minerals Inc. ʻo Kanada i kona kaulana i ka lawe ʻana i ka hana ʻeli kai hohonu (DSM) mua o ka honua. Ua hōʻailona ʻia ke Kai Bismarck ma Papua New Guinea ma ke ʻano he kahua hoʻāʻo no kēia ʻenehana ʻike ʻole ʻia. Nui nā hui ʻē aʻe - mai Iapana, Kina, Korea, UK, Kanada, USA, Kelemānia a me ka Russian Federation - ke kali nei e ʻike inā hiki iā Nautilus ke lawe maikaʻi mai i nā metala mai ka papahele o ke kai e hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ma mua o ka lawe ʻana iā lākou iho. Ua lawe mua lākou i nā laikini mākaʻikaʻi e uhi ana ma luna o 1.5 miliona kilomika square o ka papakū o ka moana Pākīpika. Eia kekahi, ua uhi nā laikini ʻimi i nā wahi ākea o ka papakū o ka moana ʻAkelanika a me India.

Ke ulu nei kēia huhū o ka ʻimi DSM me ka loaʻa ʻole o nā mana hoʻoponopono a i ʻole nā ​​​​wahi mālama e pale ai i nā kaiaola kaiaola kūʻokoʻa a ʻike liʻiliʻi o ke kai hohonu a me ke kūkākūkā ʻole ʻana me nā kaiāulu e hoʻopilikia ʻia e DSM. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka noiʻi ʻepekema e pili ana i nā hopena e mau ana ka palena a ʻaʻohe hōʻoia e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻia ke olakino o nā kaiāulu kahakai a me nā lawaiʻa a lākou e hilinaʻi ai.

ʻO ka Deep Sea Mining Campaign kahi hui o nā hui a me nā kamaʻāina mai Papua New Guinea, Australia a me Kanada e hopohopo nei e pili ana i ka hopena o DSM ma nā kaiaola a me nā kaiāulu. ʻO ka pahuhopu o ka hoʻolaha ʻana, ʻo ia ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻae Kūʻokoʻa, Prior and Informed mai nā kaiāulu i hoʻopilikia ʻia a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kumu mālama.

Ma ka maʻalahi, ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei mākou:

▪ Pono nā kaiāulu i hoʻopilikia ʻia i nā hoʻoholo e pili ana i ka holo ʻana o ka ʻeli kai hohonu a loaʻa iā lākou ke kuleana e veto i nā mines i manaʻo ʻia, A ua
▪ Ka noiʻi hōʻoia kūʻokoʻa pono e alakaʻi ʻia e hōʻike ʻaʻole e loaʻa i nā kaiāulu a me nā kaiaola i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole no ka wā lōʻihi - ma mua o ka ʻae ʻana e hoʻomaka ka ʻeli ʻana.

Ua hōʻike nā ʻoihana i ka hoihoi i nā ʻano DSM ʻekolu - ka ʻeli ʻana o nā ʻōpala cobalt, nā nodules polymetallic, a me nā waiho ʻana o nā sulphides nui o ka moana. ʻO ia ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka poʻe miners (ʻo ka waiwai o ka zinc, ke keleawe, ke kālā, ke gula, ke kēpau a me nā ʻāina laha ʻole) - a me nā mea hoʻopaʻapaʻa loa. ʻO ka hoʻoemi ʻana i nā sulphides nui o ka moana i ka pōʻino nui o ke kaiapuni a me nā pilikia olakino kiʻekiʻe loa i nā kaiāulu a me nā kaiaola.

Hoʻokumu ʻia nā sulphides nui o ka moana ma kahi o nā makani hydrothermal - nā pūnāwai wela e kū ana ma nā kaulahao o nā mauna lua pele ma lalo o ka wai. I loko o nā kaukani mau makahiki, ua hū aʻe nā ao ʻeleʻele o nā sulphides metala mai loko mai o nā puka makani, e noho ana i loko o nā puʻu nui a hiki i ka miliona o ka nui o ka nui.

Ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Nautilus Minerals i ka laikini mua o ka honua e hana i kahi lua kai hohonu. Hoʻolālā ʻo ia e unuhi i ke gula a me ke keleawe mai ka papahele o ke kai sulphides nui ma ke Kai Bismarck ma PNG. Aia ma kahi o 1 kms mai ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Rabaul ma East New Britain a me 50 kms mai ke kahakai ʻo New Ireland Province ka kahua koli ʻo Solwara 30. Ua hoʻokuʻu ka hoʻolaha DSM i kahi loiloi moana kikoʻī i Nowemapa 2012 e hōʻike ana i nā kaiāulu kahakai e pilikia paha i ka make ʻana o nā metala kaumaha ma muli o ka piʻi ʻana a me nā au i ka pūnaewele Solwara 1.[1]

He liʻiliʻi loa ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana e pili ana i ka hopena o kēlā me kēia maina kai hohonu e waiho wale i ka hopena huila o nā mines he nui e kūkulu ʻia. ʻAʻole like nā kūlana a puni ka hydrothermal vents ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua a ua hopena kēia i nā kaiaola kū hoʻokahi. Manaʻo kekahi poʻe ʻepekema ʻo ka hydrothermal vents kahi i hoʻomaka mua ai ke ola ma ka honua. Inā pēlā, hiki i kēia mau kaiapuni a me kēia kaiaolaola ke hāʻawi i nā ʻike i ka ulu ʻana o ke ola. ʻAʻole hoʻomaka mākou e hoʻomaopopo i nā kaiaola kai hohonu e noho ana ma mua o 90% o ka moana.[2]

ʻO kēlā me kēia hana eli e hoʻopau pololei i nā tausani o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka makani wai a me ko lākou kaiaola kūʻokoʻa - me ka manaʻo maoli e pau nā ʻano mea ma mua o ka ʻike ʻia ʻana. He nui ka poʻe e hoʻopaʻapaʻa ana ʻo ka luku ʻana i nā puka makani wale nō e hāʻawi i ke kumu kūpono e ʻae ʻole ai i nā papahana DSM. Akā, aia kekahi mau pilikia koʻikoʻi e like me ke ʻano o nā metala e hiki ke loaʻa i ko lākou ala i loko o nā kaulahao meaʻai kai.

Pono nā haʻawina a me ka hoʻohālike e hoʻoholo ai i nā metala e hoʻokuʻu ʻia, he aha nā ʻano kemika e loaʻa ai lākou, ka nui o ko lākou ala e komo ai i loko o nā kaulahao meaʻai, pehea ka haumia o ka iʻa i ʻai ʻia e nā kaiāulu kūloko, a he aha nā hopena o kēia e loaʻa nā metala ma nā lawaiʻa kūloko, ʻāina a me ka ʻāina.

A hiki i ia manawa, pono e hoʻohana ʻia kahi ʻano makaʻala me ka moratorium i kau ʻia ma ka ʻimi ʻana a me ka ʻeli ʻana o nā minerala kai hohonu.

Nā leo kaiāulu kūʻē i ka ʻeli kai hohonu
Ke ulu nei ke kāhea ʻana e hoʻōki i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka ʻeli ʻana o ke kai ma ka Pākīpika. Ke ʻōlelo kūʻē nei nā kaiāulu kūloko ma Papua New Guinea a me ka Pākīpika i kēia ʻoihana palena.[3] Ua komo kēia i ka waiho ʻia ʻana o kahi palapala hoʻopiʻi me ka ʻoi aku o 24,000 pūlima i ke aupuni PNG e kāhea ana i nā aupuni o ka Pākīpika e hoʻōki i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka eli kai.[4]
ʻAʻole ma mua o ka mōʻaukala o PNG kahi manaʻo hoʻomohala i hoʻāla i nā kūʻē ākea - mai nā ʻelele o nā kaiāulu kūloko, nā haumāna, nā alakaʻi o ka hale pule, nā hui aupuni ʻole, nā kumu kula, nā limahana o nā keʻena aupuni a me nā ʻelele aupuni a me ka panalāʻau.

Ua hāpai nā wāhine Pākīpika i ka 'ōlelo ho'āʻo hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka ʻeli ʻana o ke kai ma ka hui Rio+20 honua ma Brazil.[5] ʻOiai ma Aotearoa, ua ʻākoakoa nā kaiāulu e kūʻē i ka ʻeli ʻana i ko lākou one ʻeleʻele a me ko lākou kai hohonu.[6]
Ma Malaki 2013, ua hoʻoholo ka ʻAhaʻōlelo Pākīpika o nā ʻEkalesia 10th General Assembly i ka ʻōlelo hoʻoholo e hoʻopau i nā ʻano ʻano hana ʻeli kai hoʻokolohua ma ka Pākīpika.[7]

Eia nō naʻe, ke hoʻopuka ʻia nei nā laikini ʻimi ma kahi ʻano weliweli. Pono e lohe ʻia nā leo hou aʻe e hoʻōki i ka hiʻohiʻona o DSM mai ka lilo ʻana i mea maoli.

E hui pū me mākou:
E hui pū me ka hoʻolaha e-list Deep Sea Mining ma ka hoʻouna ʻana i leka uila i: [pale ʻia ka leka uila]. E ʻoluʻolu e haʻi mai iā mākou inā makemake ʻoe a i kāu hui e hui pū me mākou.
