WASHINGTON – He 200,000 mau ʻeka ka nui o ka muliwai Mobile-Tensaw River ma kahi o XNUMX mau ʻeka o nā mea ola kūlohelohe i paʻakikī i ka moʻomeheu a me ka waiwai socioeconomic koʻikoʻi. ʻO ia hoʻi ke kumuhana o kahi hōʻike hou "ka mokuʻāina o ka ʻike ʻepekema" i kākau ʻia e kahi hui ʻepekema a me nā loea hoihoi i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka wahi ma ke komohana hema o Alabama.

ʻO kāna mea kākoʻo koʻikoʻi ʻo ia ka mea lanakila ʻo Pulitzer Prize Dr. Edward O. Wilson, he kanaka ʻepekema ʻo Harvard University a he kamaʻāina ʻo Alabama. "ʻO ka Greater Mobile-Tenssaw River Area kahi waiwai aupuni i hoʻomaka e hāʻawi i kāna mau mea huna," wahi a Wilson. "Aia kekahi wahi ʻē aʻe ma ʻAmelika kahi e noho ai nā kamaʻāina a me nā malihini i ke kūlanakauhale hou a hele naʻe i kahi wahi hihiu maoli i loko o hoʻokahi hola?"

Wahi a nā mea hoʻoponopono hōʻike, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka tectonic uplift i nā pali e pili ana i ke kahakai hikina o Mobile Bay ma Montrose, Alabama, a me nā pali pali o nā Puʻu ʻulaʻula e holo lōʻihi ana i ka ʻākau e hāʻawi ana i nā wahi noho kūʻokoʻa no nā haneli o nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona. 

"Ua ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻano ʻoka, nā ʻū, nā iʻa, nā moʻo a me nā honu ma kēia wahi ma mua o nā wahi like ʻole o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau," wahi a Kauka Greg Waselkov o ke Kulanui o South Alabama, kekahi o nā mea hoʻoponopono noiʻi. "A he ʻoiaʻiʻo nō paha ia no nā ʻohana he nui o nā pepeke a mākou e hoʻomaka nei e ʻike i nā ʻano i loko o kēia keʻena hana kūlohelohe nui."

A, i nīnau aku i ka mea hoʻoponopono noiʻi ʻo C. Fred Andrus o ke Kulanui o Alabama, "ʻO wai ka mea i waena o mākou i ʻike i ka nui o nā vertebrates ma kēia māhele ʻo nā salamanders hilahila ʻole e hāʻawi nui i ka maikaʻi o ka wai a me ka hoʻokele kalapona i nā ʻāina wai? Ua piha ka Mobile-Tenssaw Delta i nā mea kupanaha, e like me ka mea ʻepekema a me ka malihini kipa e hauʻoli ana i ka lawaiʻa, ka nānā manu, a i ʻole ka waʻa wale nō i kēia maze wai.

Loaʻa ka hōʻike mai ka hui ʻana ma waena o ka National Park Service's Biological Resources Division a me Southeast Regional Office, ke Kulanui o South Alabama, a me ke Kulanui o Alabama a me ka Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Unit. 

He moʻolelo ikaika ko ka Mokuʻāina ʻo Alabama a me ka National Park Service ma o nā paka, nā ʻāina ʻāina, nā kahua mōʻaukala aupuni, a me nā papahana kōkua kaiāulu. Ma waena o 1960 a me 1994, ua koho ʻia ʻeono National Historic Landmarks ma ia wahi, me Fort Morgan, Mobile City Hall a me Southern Market, USS Alabama, USS Drum, Government Street Presbyterian Church, a me Bottle Creek archaeological site. 

I ka makahiki 1974, ua koho ʻia ka Mobile-Tenssaw River Bottomlands i ʻāina ʻāina kūlohelohe. ʻOiai ua mahalo lōʻihi ka poʻe kamaʻāina i ka ululāʻau a me ka hiki ke hahai holoholona a me ka lawaiʻa ʻana o Mobile-Tensaw Delta i lalo, ua hōʻike kēia hōʻike i ka ʻike e pili ana i nā ʻōnaehana kūlohelohe, moʻomeheu, a me ka hoʻokele waiwai nui e pili ana i ke kahawai delta e pili pū ana me nā uka a puni. ʻo ke kaiaola ʻāina nui aʻe o kahi ʻāpana o ka muliwai ʻo Greater Mobile-Tenssaw River o kekahi mau ʻeka miliona.

"ʻO kēia wahi o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau kekahi o nā mea waiwai loa e pili ana i nā mea olaola paʻa," wahi a Elaine F. Leslie, ke poʻo o ka National Park Service Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Biological Resources Division. "A he waiwai like kona moʻolelo moʻomeheu a me kona hoʻoilina."  

Nui nā mea e aʻo ai e pili ana i ka Delta. Pehea e hoʻokumu ai nā waiwai kino o ka ʻāina a me ka hydrology i nā ʻōnaehana biotic like ʻole a me ka ikaika, a pehea lākou e hui pū ai i ka hoʻonohonoho kaiaola no ka pilina kanaka me nā ʻāina, nā wai, nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona o Delta?

ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka ʻike pilikino, ka moʻolelo kūlohelohe a me ka moʻomeheu, a me ka ʻepekema e kōkua iā mākou e hoʻomaopopo i ka hoʻopili ʻana o nā pilina kaiaola a me ka moʻomeheu i ka Mobile-Tensaw Delta. E ʻimi ka poʻe kōkua o kēia hōʻike i ke ʻano o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻia ʻana o ka pilina o kēia ʻāina a kuhikuhi i kekahi mau hopena inā ʻaʻole hiki i kā mākou ʻoihana hui ke mālama i ka Delta i hoʻoilina.
