Hele Nui a hoʻi i ka home

Hoʻohanohano nā kuʻikahi o ka honua i nā hana e pale i ke olakino a me ka maikaʻi o nā mea ola a pau ma ka honua-mai nā pono kanaka a hiki i nā ʻano mea e make ana-ua ʻākoakoa nā lāhui o ka honua e noʻonoʻo pehea e hoʻokō ai i kēlā pahuhopu. 

No ka manawa lōʻihi i kēia manawa, ua ʻike ka poʻe ʻepekema a me nā mea mālama mālama he kuleana koʻikoʻi nā wahi i mālama ʻia i ke kai i ka hāpai ʻana i ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana a me ka hoʻonui ʻana o ke ola ma ke kai. ʻO nā wahi hoʻāno i hoʻolālā kūikawā ʻia no nā koholā, nā iʻa a me nā mea momona ʻē aʻe, ʻike ʻia ʻo marine mammal protected areas (MMPAs) e hana pololei i kēia. ʻO nā pūnaewele o nā MMPA e hōʻoia i ka palekana o nā wahi koʻikoʻi no nā koholā, nā iʻa, nā manatees a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.

ʻO kahi mea pāʻani koʻikoʻi i kēia hoʻoikaika ʻana e pale i nā wahi waiwai kūikawā i nā mammals moana ʻo ia ke Kōmike Nui o nā Wahi Pale ʻia nā Momi Mammal. ʻO kēia pūʻulu ʻike ʻole o nā loea honua (nā ʻepekema, nā mana, nā NGO, nā keʻena a me nā mea ʻē aʻe) i hana i kahi kaiāulu i hoʻolaʻa ʻia no ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā hana maikaʻi loa e pili ana i nā MMPA. Ua loaʻa mai nā manaʻo koʻikoʻi a lōʻihi mai nā ʻōlelo hoʻoholo o kēlā me kēia o nā ʻaha kūkā ʻehā o ke Kōmike, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Hawaii (2009), Martinique (2011), Australia (2014) a me Mexico hou loa. A he nui nā MMPA i hoʻokumu ʻia ma muli o ka hopena.

Akā, pehea e pili ana i ka pale ʻana i nā mammals moana ke neʻe lākou a neʻe paha i waena o kēlā mau wahi koʻikoʻi?

ʻO kēia ka nīnau i hoʻokumu i ka manaʻo ma ka puʻuwai o kaʻu hoʻomaka ʻana i ka plenary i ka poʻe i ʻākoakoa ʻia no ka 4th International Conference on Marine Mammal Protected Areas, i mālama ʻia ma Puerto Vallarta, Mekiko i ka pule o Nowemapa 14th, 2016.

Ma o ka ʻaelike honua, hiki i nā moku kaua haole ke hele i loko o nā kai o ka ʻāina me ka pilikia ʻole a i ʻole ka pōʻino inā lākou e holo hewa ʻole. A, ke manaʻo nei au hiki iā mākou ke ʻae aku i ka holo hewa ʻana o nā koholā a me nā iʻa inā loaʻa kekahi.

Aia kekahi ʻano like no ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā ʻoihana. ʻAe ʻia ke kaʻa ʻana ma nā wai ʻāina ma lalo o kekahi mau lula a me nā ʻaelike e mālama i ka ʻano kanaka e pili ana i ka palekana a me ke kaiapuni. A ua ʻae like ʻia he hana hui kanaka e hiki ai ke holo palekana i nā moku i manaʻo ʻole e pōʻino. Pehea mākou e hoʻoponopono ai i kā mākou ʻano kanaka e hōʻoia i ke ala palekana a me ke kaiapuni maikaʻi no nā koholā e hele ana ma nā kai ʻāina? Hiki iā mākou ke kapa i kēlā he kuleana?

I ka wa e hele ai na kanaka mawaena o na wai aupuni o kekahi aina, ina paha he ala hala ole ia o na moku kaua kaua, na moku kalepa, a me na mea hana lealea, aole hiki ia makou ke ki aku ia lakou, e puhi, e nakii a e hihia, aole e hiki ke hoona i ka lakou ai. wai a ea paha. Akā, ʻo ia nā mea, ʻaʻole pōʻino a i manaʻo ʻia, i loaʻa i nā momi kai i ʻoi aku ka hala ʻole o ka poʻe e hele ana ma waena o ko kākou mau kai. No laila pehea e hiki ai iā mākou ke ho'ōki?

ʻO ka pane? He manaʻo hoʻolālā pae ʻāina! ʻO ka Ocean Foundation, ka International Fund for Animal Welfare a me nā hoa ʻē aʻe e ʻimi nei e pale i nā kai kahakai o ka honua holoʻokoʻa no ka holo palekana o nā mammals moana. Ke hāpai nei mākou i ke koho ʻana i nā alahele no ka "ala palekana" mammal moana e hiki ke hoʻopili i kā mākou mau ʻuenaʻena ʻāina o nā wahi i hoʻomalu ʻia ma ka moana no ka pale a me ka mālama ʻana i nā mammals moana. Mai Glacier Bay a hiki i Tierra del Fuego a mai Nova Scotia ma ke kapakai hikina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ma ka Caribbean, a iho i ka piko loa o ʻAmelika Hema, manaʻo mākou i ʻelua mau alahele—i noiʻi maikaʻi ʻia, hoʻolālā ʻia, a palapala ʻia. e ʻike i ka "ala palekana" no nā koholā polū, nā koholā humpback, nā kohola sperm, a me nā ʻano ʻano ʻano koholā a me nā iʻa, a me nā manatees. 

I ko mākou noho ʻana i loko o kēlā lumi ʻaha kūkā puka ʻole ma Puerto Vallarta, ua wehewehe mākou i kekahi mau hana hou no ka hoʻokō ʻana i kā mākou ʻike. Ua pāʻani mākou me nā manaʻo no ka inoa ʻana i kā mākou hoʻolālā a hoʻopau i ka ʻae ʻana 'ʻAe, ʻelua ala i ʻelua moana. A i ʻole, ʻelua alahele ma nā kahakai ʻelua. A no laila, hiki ke lilo i 2 Coasts 2 Corridors.

ʻO ka hana ʻana i kēia mau alahele ʻelua e hoʻokō, hoʻohui a hoʻonui i nā wahi hoʻāno a me nā pale hoʻomalu moana e kū nei ma kēia pae honua. E hoʻopili ia i nā pale o ka Marine Mammal Protection Act ma USA i ka pūnaewele o nā wahi kapu ma o ka hoʻopiha ʻana i nā āpau no kahi alahele migratory mammalian moana.

ʻO kēia ka mea e ʻae ai i kā mākou kaiāulu o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa e hoʻomohala i nā hoʻolālā maʻamau a me nā papahana e pili ana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana a me ka hoʻokele ʻana i nā wahi hoʻāno mammal moana, e like me ka nānā ʻana, ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻike, ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hiki a me ke kamaʻilio ʻana, a me ka hoʻokele a me nā hana ma ka honua. Pono kēia e hoʻoikaika i ka maikaʻi o nā papa hana hoʻokele kapu a me kā lākou hoʻokō. A, ʻo ke aʻo ʻana i ka ʻano o nā holoholona i ka wā o ka neʻe ʻana, a me ka hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi ʻana i nā koi a me nā hoʻoweliweli i hoʻokomo ʻia e ke kanaka i mua o kēia mau ʻano i ka wā o ia neʻe.

E palapala mākou i nā alahele a ʻike i nā wahi āpau o ka pale. A laila, e paipai mākou i nā aupuni e hoʻokō i nā hana maikaʻi loa i ka hoʻokele moana, ke kānāwai a me nā kulekele (ka hoʻokele ʻana i nā hana kanaka) e pili ana i nā mammals moana e hāʻawi i ka kūlike no nā mea hana like ʻole a me nā makemake i loko o nā wai aupuni a me nā Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction e kūlike me nā alahele a mākou. e wehewehe. 

Ua ʻike mākou he nui nā ʻano mammalian moana i kaʻana like ʻia ma kēia ʻāpana honua. ʻO kā mākou nele, ʻo ia ka pale palena palena o nā mammals kai hoʻoweliweli a hoʻoweliweli. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, loaʻa iā mākou nā wahi palekana a me nā wahi palekana. Hiki i nā alakaʻi manawaleʻa a me nā kuʻikahi transboundary ke kākoʻo i ka hapa nui o ka mamao. Loaʻa iā mākou ka manaʻo politika a me ke aloha o ka lehulehu i nā mammals moana, a me ka ʻike a me ka hoʻolaʻa ʻana o ka poʻe i loko o ke kaiāulu MMPA.  

ʻO 2017 ka makahiki 45 o ka US Marine Mammal Protection Act. E hōʻailona ana ʻo 2018 i 35 mau makahiki mai ka wā i hoʻokō ai mākou i ka moratorium honua no ka lawaiʻa ʻoihana. Pono nā 2 Coasts 2 Corridors i ke kākoʻo o kēlā me kēia lālā o ko mākou kaiāulu i nā manawa like ʻole i ke kaʻina hana. ʻO kā mākou pahuhopu ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ala palekana no nā koholā a me nā iʻa i ka wā e hoʻolauleʻa ai mākou i nā makahiki he 50.
