Pitirizani Kuchitapo kanthu

Tikudziwa zomwe zili pachiwopsezo. Zoposa masikweya kilomita 50 zamitundumitundu ya m'mitsinje yodzala ndi cholowa chokonda dziko lanu mosiyana ndi china chilichonse padziko lapansi. Mallows Bay, komwe kuli zombo mazana ambiri zomira zomwe zidamira kuyambira Nkhondo Yadziko Lonse, posachedwapa kwakhala nyama zakuthengo zolemera komanso malo ochitira masewera olimbitsa thupi amtchire omwe amakayenda pafupipafupi, asodzi ndi ofufuza. Koma nchifukwa chiyani tiyenera kusamala kwambiri za zotsatira za chisankho choyembekezera National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) kuchokera ku NOAA?

Monga zomwe tikuyembekeza kuti zikhala imodzi mwa malo oyamba osankhidwa kudziko lonse m'zaka 15, Mallows Bay ndi labotale yamoyo yamayunivesite am'deralo ndi kafukufuku wapamadzi komanso kwa ophunzira osawerengeka omwe amaphunzira za biology ndi sayansi ya chilengedwe pamaulendo ophunzirira kusukulu. Kutchulidwaku kudzasintha malowa kukhala okopa alendo, kuyitanitsa alendo kuti agwiritse ntchito mbiri yake, zosangalatsa komanso kukongola kwachilengedwe. Zachuma zozungulira ku Mallows Bay zitha kuwonanso ndalama zowonjezera¹.

Pa Marichi 7, NOAA idachita msonkhano wapagulu ku La Plata (MD) kuti imve malingaliro a anthu omwe ali ndi dongosolo lomwe lingakhale labwino kwambiri pakusankhidwa kwawo.². Madzulo adatsindika zovuta zomwe ndondomeko za anthu zimakumana nazo pamene nkhani ndi mayankho ake sali akuda ndi oyera. Watermen, motsutsana ndi dera lalikulu lotetezedwa, adawonekera mwamphamvu, akuwonetsa kukhudzidwa ndi lamuloli pazakukhudzidwa kwausodzi wamalonda ndikuyimilira pakusankha kwawo kwa "Alternative A" - palibe malo opatulika.³. Kumbali ina, aphunzitsi, ofufuza ndi okhalamo - akuda nkhawa ndi kuipitsa ku Chesapeake - akuwopa kuti dzina lowoneka bwino lingasinthe Mallows Bay kukhala mtundu, osachita pang'ono pazachilengedwe komanso zachuma.⁴.

Chitetezo cha federal ku Mallows Bay, chomwe chinkawoneka kuti chivomerezedwa ndi mgwirizano, tsopano chikuyang'aniridwa kwambiri. Sindingakuuzeni chifukwa chomwe inuyo panokha muyenera kusamala, kapena chomwe chimapangitsa Mallows Bay kukhala yofunika ku tanthauzo la moyo wanu kapena momwe imachirikizira zikhalidwe zanu. Kusankhidwa kwa National Marine Sanctuary ku Mallows Bay kumayimira mphamvu zomwe tili nazo monga nzika zokweza mawu athu kukhala gulu lomwe lingathe kulimbikitsa kuchitapo kanthu. Malo a Mallows Bay adakhala malo olemekezeka, osati okha, koma chifukwa omwe amadalira adamvetsetsa kwanthawi yayitali kufunika kwake komanso kufunika kwake.

Ndilibe mayankho angwiro kuzinthu izi, ndipo ndikukhumba ndikadatero. Ndizotheka kuti dzina lamalo opatulika lipatse Mallows chitetezo chochulukirapo kuposa momwe ena angafune, kupatula mitundu ina ya zochitika ndikukopa ena. Koma osachepera, ndondomekoyi yakhala ikuyambira pansi, ikuwonetseratu anthu osiyanasiyana omwe akufotokoza maganizo awo. Kwa onse amene amakhulupirira kuti zotsatira zake ndi zoipa, zidzamva ngati kuti zofuna zawo sizinamvedwe, maganizo awo ndi nkhawa zawo sizikuwerengedwa.

Kwa ine, mogwirizana ndi chikhulupiliro changa cha kuthekera kwa kulinganiza kwabwino kwa anthu ndi malo okhala zachilengedwe, Mallows Bay imatanthauzira chithunzithunzi cha kukongola kwa maphunziro a zachilengedwe. Zomwe misonkhano ya anthu onseyi imatiwonetsa ndi kusiyanasiyana kwa zikhalidwe zapayekha komanso mkangano wamakangano pakuwongolera cholowa chathu chachilengedwe - chuma chathu chaboma. Kaya zotsatira zake zinali zotani, tiyenera kuganizira za kukwaniritsidwa kwa ndondomeko ya anthu, kuti chigamulocho chinapangidwa ndi makutu otseguka komanso ndi zolinga zabwino. Kumasuka kunawonetsa kufunika, osati ku Mallows Bay kokha komanso kusunga chuma cha boma mokulirapo - pazomwe timapeza pamene mawu onse, ngakhale zachilengedwe ndi mbiri yakale, zimamveka.

Nthawi ya ndemanga ya mtsinje wa Potomac National Marine Sanctuary's NOAA proposal imatseka March 31. Pali kale ndemanga za 700, ndi zina zomwe zikubwera, kuphatikizapo zanu! Mumve mawu anu Pano.
