Sargassum: He aha ia?
 
He limu lana manuahi ʻo Sargassum e neʻe ana me ke au o ke kai. ʻOiai e noʻonoʻo ana kekahi poʻe hele kahakai iā Sargassum he malihini makemake ʻole ʻia, hana maoli ia i kahi noho olaola waiwai e hoʻokūkū ana i nā kaiaola koʻa. Pono ʻo Sargassum ma ke ʻano he kahu hānai, nā wahi hānai, a me ka malu no nā ʻano iʻa he 250, ʻo Sargassum ka mea nui i ke ola moana.

 
ʻO Sargassum Overflow

Loaʻa paha ʻo Sargassum mai ke Kai Sargasso, aia ma ka moana ʻĀkela ʻĀkau ākea kokoke i Bermuda. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ke Kai Sargasso e paʻa i ka 10 miliona metric tons o Sargassum, a ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo "The Golden Floating Rainforest." Manaʻo ka poʻe ʻepekema ʻo ka piʻi ʻana o Sargassum i ka Caribbean ma muli o ka piʻi ʻana o ka mahana o ka wai a me nā makani haʻahaʻa, e pili ana i nā au o ka moana. ʻO kēia hoʻololi ʻana i nā au o ka moana ke kumu maoli nei i nā ʻāpana o ka Sargassum e hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o nā au i hoʻololi ʻia i ke aniau e lawe aku ai i nā mokupuni ʻo Karipiana Hikina. Ua hoʻopili pū ʻia ka laha ʻana o Sargassum i ka piʻi ʻana o nā pae nitrogen, kahi hopena o ka haumia ma o ka hopena o ke kanaka o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka wai, nā aila, nā mea kanu a me ka hoʻololi ʻana o ke aniau. Eia nō naʻe, a hiki i ka hana ʻana o nā noiʻi hou aʻe, hiki i nā ʻepekema ke hāʻawi wale i nā manaʻo e pili ana i kahi i hele mai ai ʻo Sargassum a me ke kumu e laha wikiwiki ai.

ʻO nā hopena no ka nui o Sargassum

Ke hoʻomau nei ka piʻi ʻana o ka nui o Sargassum i ka ʻike kahakai ʻo Caribbean, nui nā mea hiki iā mākou ke hana e hoʻoponopono ai i ka pilikia. Inā hoʻopilikia ʻo Sargassum i nā hana hōkele a me nā malihini, hiki ke lawe ʻia mai ke kahakai a hoʻolei ʻia ma ke ʻano kūpono. ʻO ka wehe ʻana me ka lima, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe kahakai kaiāulu, ʻo ia ka hana hoʻoneʻe hoʻomau mau loa. ʻO ka pane mua a nā luna hokele a me nā hōkele ʻo ka wehe ʻana iā Sargassum me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā cranes a me nā mea hana mīkini, akā naʻe, hoʻopilikia kēia i nā manu noho one, me nā manu kuhukukū a me nā pūnana.
 

1. Kanu ia!
ʻO Sargassum kahi ala maikaʻi loa no ka hoʻohana ʻana ma ke ʻano he ʻāina. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no ke kūkulu ʻana i nā puʻuhonua a me nā kahakai no ka hakakā ʻana i ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana o ke kai ʻino a me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke kūpaʻa kahakai i nā ʻino a me ka piʻi ʻana o ka ʻilikai. ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa e hana ai, ʻo ia ka lawe lima ʻana i ka Sargassum i kahakai me nā huila huila a me ka wehe ʻana i nā ʻōpala i hiki ke hopu ʻia i loko o ka limu ma mua o ke kanu ʻana. E ʻoluʻolu kēia ʻano i ka poʻe hele kahakai me kahi kahakai maʻemaʻe, Sargassum-free ma ke ʻano ʻaʻole e hoʻopilikia i nā holoholona hihiu kūloko a pono hoʻi i ka ʻōnaehana kahakai.

2. Hana hou ia!
Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Sargassum ma ke ʻano he fertilizer a me ka compost. I ka wā e hoʻomaʻemaʻe pono ʻia a maloʻo ʻia he nui nā meaʻai e hoʻoikaika ai i ka lepo maikaʻi, hoʻonui i ka paʻa ʻana o ka wai, a pale i ka ulu ʻana o ka mauʻu. Ma muli o kona kiʻekiʻe o ka paʻakai, ʻo Sargassum kekahi mea pale no nā snails, slugs, a me nā mea ʻino ʻē aʻe āu e makemake ʻole ai i kāu māla.
 
3. Ai ia!
Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka limu i loko o nā kīʻaha ʻAsia a he ʻono ʻawaʻawa i makemake nui ʻia e nā poʻe he nui. ʻO ke ala kaulana loa e lawelawe ai iā Sargassum, ʻo ia ka ʻai wikiwiki ʻana a laila e hoʻomoʻa i ka wai me ka soy sauce a me nā mea ʻē aʻe no 30 mau minuke a 2 mau hola, e like me kāu makemake. E hoʻomaʻemaʻe maikaʻi ʻia ke ʻole ʻoe makemake i ka ʻono o ka ʻōpala kai!

Me ka loaʻa ʻana o ka hopena o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau a me ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka piʻi ʻana a me ka hoʻomehana ʻana o ke kai - palekana ke ʻōlelo - aia paha ʻo Sargassum i ka wā e hiki mai ana. Pono e hana ʻia nā noiʻi hou aʻe e hoʻomaopopo pono i kona hopena.
