Kusimba kwevanhu neCoral kunofambidzana

Muna Chikunguru 2021, The Ocean Foundation's Blue Resilience Initiative (BRI) uye vatinoshanda navo vakagamuchira mari inodarika $ 1.9M kubva Caribbean Biodiversity Fund (CBF) kuita zvisikwa-kwakavakirwa kusimba kwemahombekombe muzvitsuwa zviviri zvikuru zveCaribbean: Cuba neDominican Republic. Ikozvino, makore maviri muchirongwa chemakore matatu, tiri panguva yakaoma kuona kuti tiri kushandisa nemazvo zviwanikwa zvedu zvevanhu, zvehunyanzvi, uye zvemari kuita zvizere uye kuona kuti tinogona kuramba tichisimudzira basa redu kwemakore anotevera.

Kufambisira mberi purojekiti yedu yekutanga kuparadzira maruva emakorari, nhengo dzechikwata chedu cheBRI dzakaenda kuHavana, Cuba kubva munaChikumi 15-16, 2023 - kwatakaita musangano neCentro de Investigaciones Marinas (Center for Marine Research) yeYunivhesiti ye Havana (UH). Takabatanidzwa nenyanzvi yezvekudzoreredza makorari ane mukurumbira pasi rose Dr. Margaret Miller, Mukuru Wekutsvagisa kuSECORE inova mubatsiri mukuru wehunyanzvi hwekudzoreredza makorari pachirongwa cheCBF.

Tiri kushanda pamwe nevesainzi, vezvekuchengetedza, nhengo dzenharaunda, uye vatungamiriri vehurumende kugadzira zvigadziriso zvinoenderana nezvisikwa, kusimudzira nharaunda dzemahombekombe, uye kukurudzira kusimba kubva mukutyisidzirwa nekushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze.

Dzidza zvimwe

Zuva rekutanga remusangano raiitirwa senzvimbo yezvidzidzo, uko vadzidzi nemasayendisiti madiki kubva kuAcuario Nacional de Cuba neUH vaigona kupa zvakawanikwa zvine chekuita neprojekiti.

Basa redu muCuba rakanangana nekudzoreredza pabonde uye pabonde kuGuanahacabibes National Park uye Jardines de la Reina National Park, Cuba. Iyo yaimbova mhando yekudzoreredza inosanganisira kuunganidza, kusanganisa, uye kugadzika kwemafuro kubva kusango remakorari - nepo kudzoreredza kweasexual kunosanganisira kucheka zvimedu, kuzvikura kunze mumafuro, uye kuzvidyara zvakare. Ose ari maviri anoonekwa seyakakosha kupindira kwekuwedzera koral resilience.

Nepo mari yeCBF iri kuvhara kubhadharisa ngarava uye kutenga giya nemidziyo yekudzoreredza makorari, chirongwa chedu chinogona kupa chikuva chemamwe marudzi ekuwedzera ekutsvagisa korari kana nzira dzekutarisa dzinoverengeka kubatsira kuyera budiriro yekudzoreredza koral. Masayendisiti eCuba ari kunyora nezvehutano hwereef kuburikidza nekutsvaga kuchena kwemakorari nezvirwere, jellyfish, lionfish, uye herbivores senge urchins neparrotfish.

Isu takafadzwa zvikuru nekufarira kubva kune masayendisiti madiki aya anoshanda nesimba zvinoshamisa kudzidza nekuchengetedza Cuban coral ecosystems. Vanopfuura gumi nevashanu vesainzi vakapinda uye vanopfuura makumi manomwe neshanu kubva muzana vavo vaive vakadzi: ufakazi kunharaunda yeCuba yesainzi yemugungwa. Aya masayendisiti vechidiki anomiririra ramangwana remakorari eCuba. Uye, nekuda kwebasa reTOF neSECORE, vese vakadzidziswa mune inoveli nzira yekuparadzira maruva, ayo anovimbisa kugona kwehunyanzvi kuunza makorori akasiyana siyana kumatombo eCuba nekusingaperi. 

Pazuva rechipiri remusangano, timu yakakurukura mhedzisiro yemakore apfuura uye yakaronga nzendo nhatu muna Nyamavhuvhu naGunyana 2023, kudzorera. Acropora makorari uye kuwedzera mhando itsva kumusanganiswa.

Mhedzisiro yakakosha kubva kumapurojekiti kusvika pari zvino kwave kuumbwa kwekarenda yekubereka makorari yeCuba uye vanopfuura makumi mashanu vakadzidziswa masayendisiti uye nhengo dzenharaunda mukuedza kudzoreredza makorari. Musangano uyu wakabvumira timu yedu kuronga kudzoreredzwa kwemakorari kupfuura iyo CBF mvumo. Takakurukura hurongwa hwekuita hwemakore gumi hwaisanganisira kuwedzera nzira dzedu dzepabonde nedzebonde kune zvingangoita gumi nembiri nzvimbo muCuba yese. Izvi zvichaunza gumi nevaviri vevashandi vatsva kuprojekiti. Tinotarisira kuita musangano mukuru wekudzidzisa masayendisiti aya muna Chivabvu 50. 

Imwe mhedzisiro isingatarisirwe yewekishopu yaive kusikwa kweCuban itsva coral restoration network. Iyi network nyowani inokwenenzvera kuita sarudzo uye kushanda senge hwaro hwehunyanzvi hwese basa rekudzoreredza coral muCuba. Iwo mashanu masayendisiti eCuba akasarudzwa achabatana neTOF uye SECORE nyanzvi mune iyi inonakidza puratifomu. 

Wekishopu yedu yakatipa kurudziro yekuenderera mberi nebasa iri. Kuona vadiki uye vanofarira masayendisiti eCuba akazvipira kuchengetedza nzvimbo dzakasarudzika dzemugungwa nemahombekombe egungwa zvinoita kuti TOF idade nekuedza kwedu kunoramba kuripo.
