WASHINGTON - Dera lalikulu la Mtsinje wa Mobile-Tensaw ndi pafupifupi maekala 200,000 a zamoyo zosiyanasiyana zachilengedwe zomwe zimakhala zovuta kuzikhalidwe komanso zamtengo wapatali pazachuma. Ilinso mutu wa lipoti latsopano la "mkhalidwe wa chidziwitso cha sayansi" lolembedwa ndi gulu la asayansi ndi akatswiri omwe ali ndi chidwi ndi tsogolo la dera lakum'mwera chakumadzulo kwa Alabama.

Wothandizira wake wamkulu ndi wopambana Mphotho ya Pulitzer Dr. Edward O. Wilson, wasayansi pa yunivesite ya Harvard komanso mbadwa ya Alabaman. "Greater Mobile-Tensaw River Area ndi chuma chadziko chomwe changoyamba kumene kutulutsa zinsinsi zake," akutero Wilson. “Kodi pali malo ena alionse ku America kumene okhalamo ndi alendo angakhale mumzinda wamakono koma n’kupita kudera losaiwalika pasanathe ola limodzi?”

Malinga ndi akonzi a lipotilo, kukwera kwa tectonic kudapanga matanthwe omwe ali m'mphepete mwa nyanja kum'mawa kwa Mobile Bay ku Montrose, Alabama, komanso mapiri otsetsereka a Red Hills omwe amatambasulira chakumpoto komwe kumapereka malo apadera a zomera ndi nyama zambiri zomwe zapezeka. 

Dr. Greg Waselkov wa pa yunivesite ya South Alabama, mmodzi wa akonzi a kafukufukuyu ananena kuti: “M’derali muli mitundu yambiri ya mitengo ikuluikulu, nkhanu, nkhanu, abuluzi ndi akamba ambiri. Ndipo zingakhalenso chimodzimodzi kwa mabanja ambiri a tizilombo omwe tsopano tikuyamba kuzindikira zamoyo zomwe zili mu labotale yayikuluyi.

Ndipo, anafunsa mkonzi wophunzirira C. Fred Andrus wa ku yunivesite ya Alabama, “Ndani pakati pathu amene ankadziwa kuti zamoyo zambiri zopezeka m’derali ndi zosaoneka bwino, zamanyazi zomwe zimathandiza kwambiri kuti madzi azikhala bwino komanso kasamalidwe ka kaboni m’madambo? Mtsinje wa Mobile-Tensaw uli wodzala ndi zodabwitsa, monganso kwa wasayansiyo monganso kwa mlendo wamba amene akusangalala ndi usodzi, kuonera mbalame, kapena kungopalasa bwato la m’madzi.”

Lipotilo limachokera ku mgwirizano pakati pa National Park Service's Biological Resources Division ndi Southeast Regional Office, University of South Alabama, ndi University of Alabama ndi Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystems Unit. 

State of Alabama ndi National Park Service ali ndi mbiri yolimba ya mgwirizano kudzera m'mapaki, malo odziwika bwino, malo odziwika bwino, komanso mapulogalamu othandizira anthu ammudzi. Pakati pa 1960 ndi 1994, malo asanu ndi limodzi a National Historic Landmarks adasankhidwa m'derali, kuphatikiza Fort Morgan, Mobile City Hall ndi Southern Market, USS Alabama, USS Drum, Government Street Presbyterian Church, ndi Bottle Creek ofarchaeological site. 

Mu 1974 Mobile-Tensaw River Bottomlands inasankhidwa kukhala National Natural Landmark. Ngakhale kuti anthu ammudzi akhala akuyamikira kuthengo komanso kusaka ndi kusodza komwe kumapezeka kumunsi kwa Mobile-Tensaw Delta, lipoti ili limapereka chidziwitso chokhutiritsa chakuti machitidwe akuluakulu achilengedwe, chikhalidwe, ndi zachuma ozungulira chigwa cha delta ndi ogwirizana kwambiri ndi mapiri ozungulira. Kukula kwakukulu kwa chilengedwe kudera la Greater Mobile-Tensaw River la maekala mamiliyoni angapo.

Elaine F. Leslie, mkulu wa National Park Service Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Biological Resources Division anati: “Dera limeneli la ku North America ndi limodzi mwa malo olemera kwambiri pankhani ya zamoyo zosiyanasiyana. "Ndipo mbiri ya chikhalidwe chake ndi cholowa chake ndi chuma chofanana."  

Pali zambiri zoti tiphunzire za Delta. Kodi mawonekedwe a geology ndi ma hydrology amderalo amathandizira bwanji machitidwe osiyanasiyana achilengedwe, ndipo palimodzi amakonza bwanji chilengedwe cha ubale wa anthu ndi madera, madzi, zomera, ndi zinyama za Delta?

Kuphatikizika kwa zokumana nazo zaumwini, mbiri yachilengedwe ndi chikhalidwe, ndi sayansi kumatithandiza kumvetsetsa kuti kulumikizana kwachilengedwe ndi chikhalidwe kumalumikizana pamodzi Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Othandizira lipotili amafufuza momwe kulumikizana kwa malowa kumapangidwira ndikuwonetsa zotsatirapo ngati gulu lathu la oyang'anira likulephera kusunga Delta yomwe tidatengera.
