Ka pale ʻana i nā kai hohonu ma nā kai kiʻekiʻe

Ka uhi o ka 5th International Deep Sea Coral Symposium, Amsterdam

AMSTERDAM, NL - ʻO ka nui o ka holomua o ka honua i ka hoʻomalu ʻana i ka lawaiʻa hohonu "kūpono" i ke kai kiʻekiʻe e pili ana i kāu ʻike, Matthew Gianni o ka Hui Hoomalu Kai Hohonu i haʻi aku i nā kānaka ʻepekema ma ka Fifth International Symposium on Deep-Sea Corals o ka pule i hala.

"Inā ʻoe e nīnau i ka poʻe kulekele, ʻōlelo lākou he mea kupanaha ka mea i hoʻokō ʻia i loko o ka manawa pōkole," i ʻōlelo mai ai ʻo Gianni, kahi mea hana Greenpeace ma mua o ka ʻaina awakea ma hope o kāna hōʻike ʻana, "akā inā e nīnau ʻoe i nā conservationist, loaʻa iā lākou manaʻo like ʻole.

Ua wehewehe ʻo Gianni i nā "kai kiʻekiʻe" he mau wahi kai ma waho o nā wai i koi ʻia e kēlā me kēia lāhui. Ma kēia wehewehe ʻana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ma kahi o ʻelua hapakolu o nā moana i wehewehe ʻia he "kai kiʻekiʻe" a ua kau ʻia ma lalo o ke kānāwai honua a me nā ʻano kuʻikahi.

I loko o nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala iho nei, ua ʻae kekahi mau hui honua, e like me ka United Nations General Assembly, i nā lula a me nā lula e hoʻopaʻa ana i ka lawaiʻa ʻana ma kekahi mau wahi me "nā kaiaola kai pilikia" e like me nā koʻa wai anuanu.

ʻO nā ʻākoʻa kai hohonu, lōʻihi loa ke ola a hiki i nā haneli a i ʻole mau kaukani makahiki e ulu ai, ua huki pinepine ʻia e nā mea lawaiʻa lalo.

Akā, ua haʻi ʻo Gianni i nā ʻepekema, ʻaʻole lawa ka hana. ʻO kekahi mau moku hoʻomāʻewaʻewa a ʻo nā lāhui hoʻi e hōʻea i kēlā mau moku i hiki ke hoʻāʻo ʻia i nā ʻaha hoʻokolokolo honua, akā ua hōʻole nā ​​mea hoʻopiʻi e hana i kēlā mau hana, wahi āna.

Aia kekahi holomua, wahi āna. ʻO kekahi mau wahi i lawaiʻa ʻole ʻia, ua pani ʻia i nā lawaiʻa lalo a me nā ʻano lawaiʻa ʻē aʻe ke ʻole e hana mua nā ʻoihana e hana i ka lawaiʻa i kahi ʻōlelo pili i ke kaiapuni.

He mea hou loa kēia, i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, a ua loaʻa iā ia ka hopena o ka palena nui ʻana i ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka lawaiʻa ma ia mau wahi, no ka mea he liʻiliʻi nā hui a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea ʻē aʻe e makemake e hoʻopilikia i nā palapala EIS.

Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ua hoʻohui ʻo ia, kahi i ʻae ʻia ai ka huki ʻana i ka wai hohonu, ua hoʻowahāwahā ke kaiāulu o ka honua e hoʻāʻo e hoʻopaʻa i ka lawaiʻa, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

"Pono ka hoʻoholo ʻana i nā loiloi hopena e like me nā mea i hana ʻia e ka ʻoihana ʻaila," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Gianni i ka hui ʻana, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka ʻino o nā hana lawaiʻa ʻino e like me ka lawaiʻa ʻāina ma mua o ka ʻeli ʻana i ke kai hohonu no ka ʻaila. (ʻAʻole ʻo Gianni wale nō i kēlā manaʻo; i loko o ka ʻaha kūkā ʻelima mau lā, ua hana kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe, me nā ʻepekema.)

I ka loaʻa ʻana o ka manaʻo o ke kaiāulu honua, ua haʻi mai ʻo Gianni iaʻu i ka ʻaina awakea, ʻaʻole ia ka pilikia. Ua hana mua ia: Ua ʻōlelo ʻo United Nations, ua hala kekahi mau ʻōlelo hoʻoholo maikaʻi.

Akā, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ʻo ka pilikia ka hoʻokō ʻana i kēlā mau ʻōlelo hoʻoholo e nā lāhui āpau e pili ana: "Ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi hoʻoholo maikaʻi. I kēia manawa ke hana nei mākou e hoʻokō. "

ʻAʻole kēia he hana maʻalahi, no ka manaʻo o ke kanaka kahiko e pono ke kūʻokoʻa i ka lawaiʻa ma ke kai kiʻekiʻe.

"ʻO ia ka hoʻololi aupuni," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, "ka hoʻololi paradigm."

Ua hana maikaʻi nā lāhui i komo i ka lawaiʻa kai hohonu ma ka Moana Hema ma ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻokō i nā ʻōlelo hoʻoholo o ka United Nations. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole i hoʻokūpaʻa ʻia kekahi mau lāhui i komo i ka lawaiʻa ʻana ma lalo o ka moana.

Ma kahi o 11 mau ʻāina i loaʻa ka nui o nā moku hae i komo i ka lawaiʻa hohonu. ʻO kekahi o ia mau lāhui e mālama i nā kuʻikahi honua a ʻaʻole kekahi.

Ua nīnau au e pili ana i ka hiki ke hōʻoia i ka hoʻokō.

"Ke neʻe nei mākou ma ke ala kūpono," i pane ai ʻo ia, me ka haʻi ʻana i kekahi mau hihia i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala e pili ana i nā moku i hoʻokō ʻole a laila hōʻole ʻia ke komo ʻana i kekahi mau awa ma muli o ka hoʻokō ʻole o nā moku.

Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻo Gianni a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i komo i loko o ka Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (nona mau lālā ʻoi aku ma mua o 70 mai Greenpeace a me ka National Resources Defense Council a hiki i ka mea hana keaka ʻo Sigourney Weaver) ke manaʻo nei ua neʻe mālie ka holomua.

Ua hānau ʻia ma Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, ua lilo ʻo Gianni i 10 mau makahiki ma ke ʻano he lawaiʻa kalepa a ua komo i ka mālama ʻana i ka moana i ka wā i ʻae ai ka US Army Corps of Engineers i ka hopena o 1980s e ʻae i nā dredge tailings mai kahi papahana hoʻomohala awa ma Oakland, Kaleponi e hoʻolei ʻia i ke kai. ma kahi i lawaiʻa mua ai ka poʻe lawaiʻa.

Ua hui pū ʻo ia me Greenpeace a me nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui. ʻO nā hana hoʻolaha i hoʻolaha nui ʻia i koi ai ke aupuni pekelala e hoʻohana i kahi kahua hoʻolei i waho o ke kai, akā i kēlā manawa ua lilo ʻo Gianni i mea hoʻolaʻa i nā pilikia mālama.

Ma hope o ka hana manawa piha no Greenpeace no kekahi manawa, ua lilo ʻo ia i mea aʻoaʻo e pili ana i nā pilikia e pili ana i ka huki ʻana i ke kai hohonu a me ka lawaiʻa ʻana ma ke kai kiʻekiʻe.
