Nyanja ikupereka, ndipo nyanja ikuchotsa…

Ndipo mwanjira ina, m'mibadwo, zonse zimalumikizana, nthawi zambiri. Koma ndendende basi izi zimagwira ntchito bwanji?

Pamsonkhano waposachedwa ku Vienna wokhudza kuchuluka kwa akavalo padziko lonse lapansi, katswiri wodziwa za chibadwa cha anthu Philip McLoughlin adakambirana za kafukufuku wake wokhudza funso lalikululi powerenga chilumba chaching'ono chomwe chili pamtunda wa makilomita pafupifupi 300 kum'mwera chakum'mawa kwa Halifax, Canada.

Chilumba cha Sable, chomwe tsopano ndi malo osungirako zachilengedwe ku Canada, ndi malo ochepa chabe a mchenga, m'malo movutikira, pamwamba pa North Atlantic. Zoonadi, chisumbu chomwe chili pakati pa nyanja yamkwiyo yapakati pa nyengo yachisanu ndi malo oopsa kwa nyama zoyamwitsa zokonda nthaka.

Komabe magulu ang'onoang'ono a akavalo akhala akukhala kuno kwa zaka mazana angapo, atasiyidwa kumeneko ndi Bostonian woyenera zaka zisanachitike kusintha kwa America.

Kodi mahatchiwa amapulumuka bwanji? Kodi angakhale akudya chiyani? Kodi amabisala kuti mphepo yachisanu?

Nanga n’chiyani chimene nyanja yamchere imapatsa padziko lapansi nyama zoyamwitsa zosweka mtimazi?

McLoughlin amalota kupeza mayankho a mafunso awa ndi ena ambiri pazaka 30 zikubwerazi.

Ali kale ndi chiphunzitso chimodzi chochititsa chidwi.

M'zaka zingapo zapitazi, Sable Island akuti idakhala malo akulu kwambiri osindikizira zisindikizo kulikonse kumpoto kwa Atlantic. Chilimwe chili chonse amayi zikwi mazana angapo a grey seal amabereka ndi kusamalira ana awo pamphepete mwa mchenga wa pachilumbachi. Popeza kuti chilumbachi ndi kachigawo kakang'ono kokha ka masikweya mailosi 13, ndimatha kulingalira milingo ya decibel masika ndi koyambirira kwa chirimwe.

Kodi mahatchi amatani ndi chipwirikiti chokhudza chisindikizo chimenechi? McLoughlin sakudziwabe, koma adaphunzira kuti akavalo achulukirachulukira popeza zisindikizo zawonjezera kuchuluka kwawo.

McLoughlin akunena kuti zakudya zochokera m'nyanja zimadyetsa mahatchiwo posinthidwa kudzera pazisindikizo kukhala ndowe zomwe zimamera pachilumbachi ndikuwonjezera zomera. Zomera zomwe zikuchulukirachulukira, akuti, zitha kukhala zikuchulukitsa kuchuluka kwa fore komanso mwina michere yazakudya, zomwe mwina zikuwonjezera kuchuluka kwa anapiye omwe amatha kukhala ndi moyo….
