Kumbukirani Zotsalira za Mtsinje

Ili ndi gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu okhudza kufulumira kwa kuteteza Mallows Bay.

Kuyandama pakati pa mafunde akusintha ndikofunikira kwambiri popeza zinali zaka 90 zapitazo kuti ngalawa yotsala ya Mallows Bay idasweka. Makilomita 100 kum'mwera kwa Washington, DC m'mphepete mwa Mtsinje wa Potomac, zombo zazikulu, zakale zamatabwa ndi zitsulo zomwe poyamba zinkatumikira ku US Shipping Board Fleet, tsopano zimagwira ntchito zachilengedwe. Dzuwa ndikuyatsa dothi la Chesapeake Bay, "Ghost Fleet" ya Mallows Bay - zosonkhanitsira zombo 200 mpaka XNUMX zochokera ku Revolution ndi Nkhondo Yoyamba Yapadziko Lonse - zasintha kuyambira pomwe kukhala malo odziwika bwino a nyama zakuthengo zapadera.¹

Mallows Bay ndi maukonde olumikizidwa ndi mtsinje wa Potomac amakopa alendo pafupipafupi pazifukwa zambiri. Usodzi wotchuka, mabwato osangalatsa, kusimba nthano ndi mapulogalamu a maphunziro zonse zimadalira thanzi la Mallows Bay. Malo apaderawa amadzi a Maryland akuwonetsa mbiri yakale ya Chesapeake Bay. Mu 1917, Pulezidenti Woodrow Wilson analamula kuti zombo zankhondo 1,000 zimangidwe m’miyezi 18 yokha. Pafupifupi theka lokha linayenda panyanja ya Atlantic Germany asanagonje mu 1918 kusiya mabwato otsala osagwiritsidwa ntchito opanda pake.² Akatswiri a mbiri yakale am'madzi akugogomezeranso kugwirizana kwake ndi mbiri ya akapolo aku America ku Maryland pa Nkhondo Yapachiweniweni komanso kukhalapo kwa kugwirizana kwa zakale ndi chikhalidwe ku dziko la Piscataway-Conoy.³ Ngati asankhidwa kukhala National Marine Sanctuary ndi NOAA, Mtsinje wa Mallows Bay-Potomac udzateteza zachilengedwe za Mtsinjewo komanso zachilengedwe zosalimba, zamitundumitundu pakati pa zotsalira zazikuluzikuluzi.

Tili ndi mwayi wowonetsetsa kuti Mallows Bay ikulandira ulemu komanso chitetezo chomwe ikufunika kuti chikhale bwino ku mibadwomibadwo. Awa ndi masabata omaliza oti mufotokozere thandizo lanu ndi ndemanga zanu ku NOAA poteteza kusweka kwa zombo zapamadzi ku Western Hemisphere ndi zamoyo zosiyanasiyana.⁴ Malingaliro anayi akukambitsirana okhudza momwe Mallows Bay adzatetezedwa. Mapulani amayambira paziro, mpaka kufalikira konse kwachigawo komwe kumafikira ma kilomita 100.⁵ Ocean Foundation ndiwonyadira kuthandizira Chesapeake Conservancy pamodzi ndi Chesapeake & Coastal Service ndi Maryland department of Natural Resources ndi miyandamiyanda ya othandizira ndi alendo a Mallows Bay Park kuti alandire udindo wa NOAA pamalo ochititsa chidwiwa. Mosakayikira, ndi kudzera mu njira zosiyanasiyana zolimbikitsira maukonde ndi mayanjano amdera lanu komwe tingathe kulimbikitsa ndi kusunga Mallow's Bay.;

Mutha kuwona malingaliro ndi perekani ndemanga yanu kuti anthu athandizidwe pano.
