E mālama i ka hana e holo ana

ʻIke mākou i ka mea e pili ana. ʻOi aku ma mua o 50 mau mile kuea o nā mea olaola estuarine i hoʻoulu ʻia me ka hoʻoilina patriotic ʻaʻole like me nā mea ʻē aʻe o ka honua. ʻO Mallows Bay, ka home o nā haneli o nā moku mahu i hoʻomaka i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua Mua, ua lilo ʻo ia i home no nā holoholona hihiu waiwai a me kahi hale hauʻoli o ka nahele no nā ʻano kayak, nā lawaiʻa a me nā mea mākaʻikaʻi. Akā, no ke aha mākou e noʻonoʻo nui ai i ka hopena o kāna hoʻoholo kūlana National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) mai NOAA?

ʻO ka mea a mākou i manaʻo ai ʻo ia kekahi o nā wahi hoʻāno mua i koho ʻia e ka ʻāina i nā makahiki 15, ʻo Mallows Bay kahi keʻena ola no ka noiʻi kaiaola a me nā wai wai o nā kulanui a no nā haumāna lehulehu e aʻo e pili ana i ka biology a me ka ʻepekema kaiapuni ma nā huakaʻi kula. E hoʻololi ka inoa i ka pūnaewele i mea hoʻokipa mana, e kono ana i nā malihini e hoʻohana pono i kona mōʻaukala, nā makana leʻaleʻa a me ka nani maoli. E ʻike pū ana nā ʻoihana hoʻokele waiwai o Mallows Bay i ka loaʻa kālā¹.

Ma ka lā 7 o Malaki, ua mālama ʻo NOAA i kahi hālāwai ākea ākea ma La Plata (MD) no ka lohe ʻana i nā manaʻo o ka poʻe koho e pili ana i kahi hoʻolālā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no ka koho ʻana e kali nei.². Ua hoʻokūpaʻa ʻia ke ahiahi i ka paʻakikī e hālāwai ai nā kulekele lehulehu inā ʻaʻole ʻeleʻele a keʻokeʻo kekahi pilikia a me nā hoʻonā ʻokoʻa. ʻO nā kānaka wai, e kūʻē i kahi wahi palekana nui aʻe, ua hōʻike ikaika ʻia, me ka haʻi ʻana i ka hopohopo e pili ana i ka hopena o ka hoʻoponopono i ke komo ʻana i ka lawaiʻa kalepa a kū i kā lākou koho no "Alternative A" - ʻaʻohe kūlana kapu.³. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, nā kumu, nā mea noiʻi a me nā kamaʻāina - hopohopo e pili ana i ka pollution ma ka Chesapeake - makaʻu i ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka inoa ʻālohilohi i ka Mallows Bay i kahi hōʻailona, ​​​​hana liʻiliʻi no nā pilikia kūlohelohe maoli a me ka hoʻokele waiwai kūlohelohe.⁴.

ʻO ka pale federala ʻo Mallows Bay, i ʻike nui ʻia e ʻae ʻia e ka ʻae ʻana, ke nānā pono ʻia nei. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke haʻi aku iā ʻoe i ke kumu e mālama ai ʻoe ma ke ʻano he kanaka, a i ʻole he aha ka mea e koʻikoʻi ai ʻo Mallows Bay i ke ʻano o kou ola a pehea e kākoʻo ai i kāu mau waiwai ponoʻī. ʻO ka koho ʻana o ka National Marine Sanctuary no Mallows Bay e hōʻike ana i ka mana i loaʻa iā mākou ma ke ʻano he kamaʻāina e kālele i ko mākou leo ​​i kahi ikaika e hiki ke hoʻohuli i ka hana. Ua lilo ʻo Mallows Bay i wahi i mahalo ʻia, ʻaʻole ma kāna iho, akā no ka mea, ua hoʻomaopopo lōʻihi ka poʻe hilinaʻi i kona ʻano a me kona waiwai.

ʻAʻohe oʻu mau pane kūpono i kēia mau manaʻo hopohopo, a makemake wau e hana. Hiki paha i kahi ho'āno ke hāʻawi aku iā Mallow i ka pale ʻoi aku ma mua o ka makemake o kekahi, me ka ʻole o kekahi mau ʻano hana a me ka huki ʻana i nā mea ʻē aʻe. Akā ma ka liʻiliʻi loa, ʻo ke kaʻina hana i lalo i luna, e noʻonoʻo ana i nā mea pili like ʻole e hōʻike ana i ko lākou manaʻo. No ka poʻe a pau i manaʻoʻiʻo he maikaʻi ʻole ka hopena, e manaʻo ʻia me he mea lā ʻaʻole i lohe ʻia ko lākou makemake, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia ko lākou mau manaʻo a me nā hopohopo.

Iaʻu, e like me koʻu manaʻoʻiʻo i ka hiki ke kūpono o ke kaulike kanaka me nā wahi kūlohelohe, wehewehe ʻo Mallows Bay i ke ʻano o ka nani o ka hoʻonaʻauao kaiapuni. ʻO ka mea a kēia mau hālāwai lehulehu e hōʻike mai ai iā mākou, ʻo ia ka ʻokoʻa loa o nā waiwai o kēlā me kēia kanaka a me ke ʻano ikaika o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa i ka hoʻokele ʻana i kā mākou hoʻoilina kūlohelohe hui - ʻo kā mākou waiwai lehulehu. ʻO kēlā me kēia hopena, pono mākou e noʻonoʻo i ka hoʻokō ʻana o ke kaʻina hana lehulehu, ʻo ia ka hoʻoholo ʻana me nā pepeiao hāmama a me ka manaʻo maikaʻi loa. ʻO ka wehe ʻana i hōʻike i ke koʻikoʻi, ʻaʻole ʻo Mallows Bay wale nō akā ʻo ka mālama ʻana i nā kumuwaiwai ākea ākea - ʻo ka mea e loaʻa iā mākou ke lohe ʻia nā leo āpau, ʻo ke ʻano a me ka mōʻaukala.

Hoʻopau ʻia ka manawa manaʻo no ka noi NOAA ʻo Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary i ka lā Malaki 31. Aia ma mua o 700 mau manaʻo, a me nā mea hou aʻe e hiki mai ana, me kāu! Ua lohe kou leo maanei.
