Kupirira Kwa Anthu ndi Ma Coral Zimayendera Pamodzi

Mu Julayi 2021, The Ocean Foundation's Blue Resilience Initiative (BRI) ndi anzathu adalandira thandizo lalikulu la $ 1.9M kuchokera ku Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF) kuti achite kulimba kwa m'mphepete mwa nyanja kuzilumba ziwiri zazikulu za Caribbean: Cuba ndi Dominican Republic. Tsopano, zaka ziwiri mu ntchito ya zaka zitatu, tili pa nthawi yovuta kwambiri kuti tiwonetsetse kuti tikugwiritsa ntchito bwino chuma chathu chaumunthu, luso, ndi ndalama kuti tigwire bwino ntchito ndikuwonetsetsa kuti tikhoza kupitiriza kukweza ntchito yathu kwa zaka zikubwerazi.

Kuti tipititse patsogolo ntchito yathu yoyambitsa kufalitsa mphutsi zamakorale, mamembala a gulu lathu la BRI adapita ku Havana, Cuba kuyambira June 15-16, 2023 - komwe tidachita nawo msonkhano ndi Centro de Investigaciones Marinas (Center for Marine Research) ya University of Havana (UH).

Tikuthandizana ndi asayansi, oteteza zachilengedwe, anthu ammudzi, ndi atsogoleri a boma kuti tipeze mayankho okhudzana ndi chilengedwe, kulimbikitsa madera a m'mphepete mwa nyanja, komanso kulimbikitsa kulimba mtima ku ziwopsezo za kusintha kwa nyengo.

Dziwani zambiri

Tsiku loyamba la msonkhanowo lidapangidwa ngati malo ophunzirira, pomwe ophunzira ndi asayansi achichepere ochokera ku Acuario Nacional de Cuba ndi UH atha kupereka zomwe apeza zokhudzana ndi ntchitoyi.

Ntchito yathu ku Cuba ikuyang'ana kwambiri za kubwezeretsa kugonana ndi kugonana ku Guanahacabibes National Park ndi Jardines de la Reina National Park, Cuba. Kubwezeretsa kwamtundu wakale kumaphatikizapo kusonkhanitsa, kusakaniza, ndikukhazikitsa mbewu kuchokera kumadera akutchire a coral - pomwe kubwezeretsa kwachilengedwe kumaphatikizapo kudula zidutswa, kuzikulitsa m'malo osungiramo ana, ndikuzibzalanso. Zonsezi zimaonedwa kuti ndizofunikira kwambiri pakuwonjezera mphamvu za coral.

Ngakhale ndalama za CBF zikukhudzana ndi kubwereketsa zombo ndi kugula zida ndi zida zobwezeretsanso ma coral, pulojekiti yathu imatha kupereka nsanja yamitundu ina ya kafukufuku wamakorale owonjezera kapena njira zowunikira zatsopano kuti zithandizire kuwunika kupambana kwa kubwezeretsanso ma coral. Asayansi aku Cuba akulemba za thanzi la matanthwewo pofufuza zakuti ma coral bleaching ndi matenda, jellyfish, lionfish, ndi herbivores monga urchins ndi parrotfish.

Tidachita chidwi kwambiri ndi chidwi cha asayansi achichepere awa omwe amagwira ntchito molimbika kuti aphunzire ndikuteteza zachilengedwe zaku Cuba. Asayansi achichepere opitilira 15 adatenga nawo gawo ndipo opitilira 75% mwaiwo anali akazi: umboni wa gulu la sayansi yapamadzi ku Cuba. Asayansi achicheperewa akuyimira tsogolo la ma corals aku Cuba. Ndipo, chifukwa cha ntchito ya TOF ndi SECORE, onse amaphunzitsidwa njira yatsopano yofalitsa mphutsi, zomwe zidzatsimikizire luso laukadaulo lodziwitsa ma corals amitundu yosiyanasiyana ku matanthwe aku Cuba kosatha. 

Patsiku lachiwiri la msonkhanowu, gululi lidakambirana zotsatira zazaka zam'mbuyomu ndipo likukonzekera maulendo atatu mu Ogasiti ndi Seputembara 2023, kuti abwezeretse. Acropora ma coral ndi kuwonjezera mitundu yatsopano kusakaniza.

Chotsatira chachikulu pamapulojekiti mpaka pano chakhala kupangidwa kwa kalendala yobereketsa ma coral ku Cuba ndi asayansi ophunzitsidwa bwino opitilira 50 ndi anthu ammudzi pantchito zobwezeretsa ma coral. Msonkhanowu udalola gulu lathu kukonzekera kubwezeretsedwa kwa ma coral kupitilira thandizo la CBF. Tidakambirana za mapulani azaka 10 omwe adaphatikizanso kukulitsa njira zathu zogonana ndi kugonana kumasamba 12 atsopano ku Cuba. Izi zidzabweretsa akatswiri ambiri atsopano ku polojekitiyi. Tikukhulupirira kuti mu Meyi 2024 tidzakhala ndi msonkhano waukulu wophunzitsira asayansiwa. 

Chotsatira chimodzi chosayembekezereka cha msonkhanowu chinali kukhazikitsidwa kwa maukonde atsopano obwezeretsanso ma coral ku Cuba. Netiweki yatsopanoyi idzawongolera kupanga zisankho ndikukhala ngati maziko aukadaulo pantchito yonse yobwezeretsa ma coral ku Cuba. Asayansi asanu aku Cuba omwe asankhidwa adzalumikizana ndi akatswiri a TOF ndi SECORE papulatifomu yatsopano yosangalatsayi. 

Msonkhano wathu unatilimbikitsa kupitiriza ntchito imeneyi. Kuwona asayansi achichepere komanso achangu aku Cuba odzipereka kuteteza malo apadera am'madzi ndi m'mphepete mwa nyanja kumapangitsa TOF kunyadira kuyesetsa kwathu mosalekeza.
