Chengeta Chiito Chiripo

Tinoziva zviri mungozi. Anopfuura 50 square mamaira estuarine biodiversity yakazadzwa nenhaka yekuda nyika kusiyana nechero chimwe chinhu pasirese. Mallows Bay, kumusha kune mazana ezvikepe zvakanyura zvakanyura kubva kuHondo Yenyika I, nguva pfupi yadarika yanga iri musha kune mhuka dzesango dzakapfuma uye nzvimbo yekutandara yemusango yemhando yevanogara kayaker, vabati vehove uye vanoongorora. Asi nei tichifanira kuita hanya zvakanyanya nezve mhedzisiro yekumirira kwayo National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) sarudzo kubva kuNOAA?

Sezvatinotarisira kuti ichave imwe yenzvimbo dzekutanga dzakasarudzwa nenyika mumakore gumi nemashanu, Mallows Bay irabhoritari mhenyu yemayunivhesiti ematunhu ecosystem uye tsvakiridzo yemvura uye yevadzidzi vasingaverengeki vanodzidza nezve biology nesainzi yezvakatipoteredza panzendo dzekufunda dzechikoro. Iyo saiti ichashandura saiti kuita yekukwezva zviri pamutemo, ichikoka vashanyi kuti vatore mukana wenhoroondo yayo, zvinopihwa zvekuvaraidza uye runako rwechisikigo. Hupfumi hwakatenderedza hweMallows Bay hwaizoonawo yakawedzera mari¹.

Musi wa7 Kurume, NOAA yakaita musangano weruzhinji muLa Plata (MD) kuti inzwe pfungwa dzevamiriri pamusoro pechirongwa chakanakira kudomwa kwakamirira.². Manheru acho akasimbisa dambudziko rinosangana neveruzhinji kana nyaya nemhinduro dzisiri dema nechena. Varwi vemvura, vachitarisana nenzvimbo yakakura yakachengetedzwa, vakaratidzira musimba, vachitaura kushushikana pamusoro pekukanganisa kwemutemo pakubata hove dzekutengesa uye kumira nesarudzo yavo ye "Alternative A" - hapana nzvimbo yenzvimbo tsvene.³. Nekune rimwe divi, vadzidzisi, vaongorori nevagari - vachinetsekana nekusvibiswa muChesapeake - kutya kuti zita rinotyisa rinogona kushandura Mallows Bay kuita mucherechedzo, kuita zvishoma kunyaya dzezvakatipoteredza uye hupfumi hwepanyama.⁴.

Dziviriro yemubatanidzwa yeMallows Bay, yaimboonekwa zvakanyanya kubvumidzwa nekubvumirana, yave kutariswa zvakanyanya. Ini handikwanise kukuudza kuti sei iwe semunhu wega uchifanira kuva nehanya, kana chii chinoita kuti Mallows Bay ive yakakosha kune zvinoreva hupenyu hwako kana kuti inotsigira sei tsika dzako. Kudomwa kweNational Marine Sanctuary yeMallows Bay inomiririra simba ratinaro sevagari rekuisa manzwi edu musimba rinokwanisa kupesvedzera chiito. Mallows Bay yakava nzvimbo inoremekedzwa yairi, kwete yega, asi nekuti avo vanovimba nayo vagara vachinzwisisa kukosha kwayo uye kukosha kwayo.

Handina mhinduro dzakakwana kune izvi zvinonetsa, uye ndinoshuva kuti dai ndaita. Zvinogoneka kuti zita renzvimbo tsvene rinopa Mallow dziviriro kupfuura zvingada vamwe, kusasanganisa mamwe marudzi ezviitwa uye kukwezva vamwe. Asi zvirinani, maitiro acho anga ari pasi-kumusoro, achiratidza vanhu vakasiyana-siyana vanotaura maonero avo. Kune vese vanotenda kuti mhedzisiro yakaipa, vanonzwa sekunge zvishuwo zvavo hazvina kunzwika, maonero avo uye zvinovanetsa zvisingakosheswi.

Kwandiri, maererano nekutenda kwangu mukugona kwehutano hwakanaka hwevanhu nenzvimbo dzekugara, Mallows Bay inotsanangura mufananidzo werunako rwedzidzo yezvakatipoteredza. Zvatinoratidzwa nemisangano yeruzhinji iyi ndiko kusiyana-siyana kwehunhu hwemunhu uye kusimba kwemakakatanwa mukutonga nhaka yedu yese yechisikigo-zviwanikwa zvedu zveruzhinji. Chero zvingave zvakaguma, tinofanira kufunga kubudirira kwehutano hwevanhu, kuti sarudzo yakaitwa nenzeve dzakazaruka uye nemafungiro akanaka. Kubudirana pachena kwakaratidza kukosha, kwete kweMallows Bay chete asi kwekuchengetedza zviwanikwa zveveruzhinji zvakanyanya - zvezvatinowana kana manzwi ese, kunyangwe echisikigo nenhoroondo, anzwika.

Nguva yekutaura yePotomac River National Marine Sanctuary's NOAA proposal inovhara March 31. Patova nepamusoro pemashoko e700, uye nezvimwe zvinouya, kusanganisira yako! Inzwa inzwi rako pano.
