E Lohe I Kou Leo & Palekana i Ko makou mau kia hoomanamana

ʻOiai e hoʻolauleʻa ana ka poʻe ʻAmelika i ka mahina o ka moana i ka mahina o Iune a hoʻopau i ke kauwela ma kahi a kokoke i ka wai, ua hoʻomaka ke Keʻena Kālepa e noi i nā manaʻo lehulehu e nānā i nā wahi mālama kai koʻikoʻi o ko mākou lāhui. Hiki i ka loiloi ke alakaʻi i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka nui no 11 o ko mākou mau kapu moana a me nā monuments. Ua kauoha ʻia e ka Pelekikena Trump, e kālele ana kēia loiloi i nā koho a me nā hoʻonui ʻia o nā kapu kai a me nā monuments moana mai ʻApelila 28, 2007.

Mai New England a hiki i Kaleponi, aia ma kahi o 425,000,000 ʻeka o ka ʻāina i loko o ka wai, ka wai, a me nā kahakai.

He ʻano like nā National Marine Monuments a me National Marine Sanctuaries no ka mea he mau wahi mālama kai lāua. Eia nō naʻe, aia nā ʻokoʻa i ke koho ʻia ʻana o nā kapu a me nā monuments a me nā kānāwai i hoʻokumu ʻia ai. Mālama ʻia nā National Marine Monuments e kekahi mau keʻena aupuni, e like me ka National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a i ʻole ke Keʻena Kalaiaina, no ka laʻana. Ua koho ʻia ʻo National Marine Sanctuaries e NOAA a i ʻole Congress a mālama ʻia e NOAA.

Ke hoʻoikaika nei ka Marine National Monument Program a me ka National Marine Sanctuary Program e hoʻomaopopo a pale i nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe a me ka moʻomeheu ma o ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka ʻimi ʻana, ka noiʻi ʻepekema, a me ka hoʻonaʻauao lehulehu e pili ana i ka waiwai o kēia mau wahi. Me ka hoʻomanaʻo a i ʻole ka hoʻāno hoʻāno, loaʻa kēia mau kaiaola kai i ka ʻike kiʻekiʻe a me ka palekana. E hui pū ana ka Marine National Monument Program a me The National Marine Sanctuary Program me nā mea kuleana a me nā mea kuleana a me nā ʻāpana āpau i mea e pale maikaʻi ai i nā kumuwaiwai kai ma kēia mau wahi. Ma ka huina holoʻokoʻa, aia ma kahi o 130 mau wahi i pale ʻia ma US i kapa ʻia he mau monuments aupuni. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mau monuments terrestrial. Hiki i ka Peresidena a me ka Ahaolelo ke kukulu i kia hoomanao aupuni. No ka 13 National Marine Sanctuaries, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ia mau mea e ka Pelekikena, ʻAhaʻōlelo, a i ʻole ke Kakauolelo o ka 'Oihana Kalepa. Hiki i nā lālā o ka lehulehu ke koho i nā wahi no ke koho ʻana i kahi kapu.

Ua hāʻawi aku kekahi o kā mākou mau Peresidena i hala mai nā ʻaoʻao politika ʻelua i ka palekana i nā wahi moʻomeheu kūʻokoʻa, mōʻaukala, a me nā wahi kai kūlohelohe. I ka mahina o Iune o 2006, ua koho ʻo Pelekikena George W. Bush i ka Monument National Marine o Papahānaumokuākea. Ua alakaʻi ʻo Bush i ka nalu hou o ka mālama kai. Ma lalo o kāna hoʻomalu ʻana, ua hoʻonui ʻia ʻelua mau hale kapu: ʻo Channel Islands a me Monterey Bay ma Kaleponi. Ua hoʻonui ʻo Pelekikena Obama i ʻehā mau kapu: Cordell Bank a me Greater Farallones ma Kaleponi, Thunder Bay ma Michigan a me ka National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa. Ma mua o kona haʻalele ʻana i ke keʻena, ʻaʻole i hoʻonui wale ʻo Obama iā Papahānaumokuākea a me nā monuments o ka Pākīpika Remote Islands, akā ua hoʻokumu pū ʻo ia i ka National Marine Monument ma ka Moana ʻAkelanika i Kepakemapa o 2016: ʻo Northeast Canyons a me Seamounts.

ʻO ka Northeast Canyons a me Seamounts Marine National Monument, he 4,913 mau mile kuea, a aia nā canyons, nā ʻākoʻakoʻa, nā lua pele make, nā kohola sperm i hoʻopau ʻia, nā manu kuhukukū, a me nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe i ʻike pinepine ʻole ʻia ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole hoʻohana ʻia kēia wahi e ka lawaiʻa kalepa, ka ʻeli ʻana, a i ʻole ka ʻeli ʻana. Ma ka Pākīpika, ʻo nā monuments ʻehā, ʻo Mariana's Trench, Pacific Remote Islands, Rose Atoll, a me Papahānaumokuākea e hoʻopuni ana ma kahi o 330,000 mau mile kuea o ka wai. No nā kapu kai, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka National Marine Sanctuary System ma mua o 783,000 mau mile kuea.

ʻO kekahi o nā kumu koʻikoʻi o kēia mau monuments ʻo ia ka hana ʻana ma ke ʻano he "nā waihona mālama ʻia o ke kūpaʻa”. I ka lilo ʻana o ka hoʻololi ʻana i kahi pilikia koʻikoʻi, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia mau loko i mālama ʻia. Ma ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā monuments aupuni, ke pale nei ʻo ʻAmelika i kēia mau wahi e pili ana i ke kaiaola. A ʻo ka pale ʻana i kēia mau wahi e hoʻouna i ka ʻōlelo i ka wā e pale ai mākou i ke kai, mālama mākou i ko mākou palekana meaʻai, ko mākou hoʻokele waiwai, ko mākou leʻaleʻa, ko mākou kaiāulu kahakai, etc.

E nānā i lalo i kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa o nā paka polū o ʻAmelika i hoʻoweliweli ʻia e kēia loiloi. A ʻo ka mea nui loa, waiho i kāu mau manaʻo i kēia lā a pale aku i ko kakou waiwai malalo o ka wai. Aia nā manaʻo i ka lā 15 o ʻAukake.
