Moriah Byrd mudiki anochengetedza kuchengetedza ari kutsvaga kutsika kwake muchikamu chinoshaya anomiririrwa akasiyana. Chikwata chedu chakakoka Moriah kuti ashande semuenzi blogger kuti agovane zvaakasangana nazvo uye njere dzine chekuita nebasa rake remugungwa rekuchengetedza gungwa. Blog rake rinoratidza kukosha kwekusiyanisa zvikamu zvedu, sezvo akafemerwa nevaya vaitaridzika zvakafanana naye. 

Kuvaka makwikwi munharaunda dzese munharaunda yekuchengetedzwa kwemakungwa kwakakosha mukuchengetedza nekuchengetedza gungwa redu. Vechidiki vedu, kunyanya, vanofanirwa kuve vakashongedzerwa nezvishandiso uye zviwanikwa zvinodiwa kuchengetedza simba redu apo tinorwira pasi redu. Verenga nyaya yaMoriah pazasi, uye unakirwe ichangoburwa yeReal uye Raw Reflections.

Kune vazhinji, denda reCCIDID-19 rakakurudzira imwe yenzvimbo dzakaderera dzehupenyu hwedu zvichitimanikidza kurasikirwa zvakanyanya. Takaona vanhu vepedyo vedu vachinetseka kuchengetedza mararamiro edu. Mabasa akanyangarika usiku hwose. Mhuri dzakaparadzaniswa nerambidzo dzokufamba. Panzvimbo yekutendeukira kumapoka edu erutsigiro enguva dzose, takanga tiri toga tichimanikidza kuti tinzwe nhamo yedu tega. 

Zviitiko zvatakasangana nazvo tese panguva yedenda iri zvainetsa zvakakwana asi vanhu vazhinji veruvara (POC) vakamanikidzwa kusangana nezviitiko zvinoshungurudza panguva imwe chete. Mhirizhonga, rusarura, uye kutya kwakaonekwa nenyika panguva ino chaive chidimbu chezvinotarisana nePOC zuva nezuva. Tichiri kupona kuhusiku hwekuzviparadzanisa nevamwe hwaive COVID-19, takaenderera mberi nekurwira kusingaperi kuti nyika iremekedze kodzero dzevanhu. Kurwa kunoputsa simba redu repfungwa kuti tivepo uye tiite senhengo dzinoshanda dzenzanga. Zvisinei, sevanhu vakauya pamberi pedu, tinowana nzira dzokufambira mberi. Kuburikidza nechakaipa, takawana nzira kwete yekuvandudza pane yekare chete asi yekutsigirana panguva ino yakaoma.

Munguva dzino dzinoedza, nzanga yezvekuchengetedzwa kwegungwa yakabvuma kudiwa kwekutsigira Vatema, Marudzi, uye vamwe vanhu vane ruvara pamwe chete nemamwe mapoka akakanganiswa netsika dzekuMadokero. Kuburikidza nesocial media uye nedzimwe nzira dzekutaurirana dziri kure, vanhu vakasarudzika vakaungana kuti vagadzire nzira nyowani dzekudzidzisa, kubata, uye kutsigira vanhu vakasarirwa kwete mukati mesainzi yegungwa chete asi hupenyu hwedu pachedu. 

Mushure mekuverenga chirevo chaMoriah Byrd pamusoro, zviri pachena kuti social media yakasimudza ruzivo rwematambudziko akatarisana nevanhu veruvara. Nekudaro, paakabvunzwa kana anonzwa social media - kana vezvenhau kazhinji - anoratidza vanhu vane ruvara uye vechidiki mune yakanakisa mwenje iye ane mhinduro inonakidza. Moriah anoti zvakakosha kuti nharaunda dzakarambwa dzitarise nzvimbo dzenhau dzinofambiswa nevatungamiriri vakasarirwa kuitira kuti rondedzero yako igadzirwe nekubuditsa pachena kubva kune vezvenhau. Kazhinji hazvitiratidzi mune yakanakisa, uye zvinogadzira maonero akavhiringika munharaunda medu. Tinovimba kuti zano raMoriah rinotorwa zvakakomba, kunyanya munguva dzedenda, sezvo pacharo rakaburitsa nyaya dzakawanda dzinonetsa dzimwe dzacho dzinoratidzwa naMoriah pazasi.

Pakatanga denda, ini, sevanhu vazhinji, ndakanetseka kuti ndichinje kune chiitiko chepamhepo uye ndikachema yangu yakarasika yezhizha internship. Asi ndakapoterawo pamifananidzo yechisimba uye mashoko eruvengo aiiswa pasocial network zvandaimboona sekutiza. Kuti ndisiyane nemifananidzo iyi ndakatanga kutevera mapeji ekuchengetedza mugungwa paTwitter. Sezvineiwo, ndakasangana nenharaunda inoshamisa yevatema vezvesainzi vezvikepe vaitaura nezvemamiriro ekunze azvino uye kuti akavakanganisa sei. Kunyangwe panguva yandisina kutora chikamu, ndichiverenga kuburikidza nematweets evanhu vakaita seni uye vaive mumunda mumwechete neni, ndakaona kuti ndakanga ndisiri kusangana nechiitiko ichi ndega. Zvakandipa simba rekuenderera mberi kune zviitiko zvitsva. 

Dema muSainzi yeMarine (BIMS) isangano rinopa tsigiro kunyanzvi dzesainzi dzemugungwa dzevatema. Vanotanga nekudzidzisa vechidiki vachiri kusimukira kuti vanzwisise nzira dzisingayereki dziri mukati mesainzi yegungwa. Inopa rutsigiro kuvadzidzi vari kufamba pari zvino matambudziko pakutanga kwerwendo rwavo rwakasiyana. Uye pakupedzisira, inopa tsigiro yenguva dzose kune avo vakatogara mubasa ravo vanoda sangano rinonzwisisa kutamburira kuva mutema mundima yesainzi yegungwa.

Kwandiri, chikamu chinonyanya kukosha chesangano iri kumiririra. Kwenguva yakawanda yehupenyu hwangu, ndave ndichiudzwa kuti ini ndakasiyana nevanoshuva kuva mutema wesainzi wemugungwa. Ini ndinowanzo kupihwa chitarisiko chisingatendese sekunge hapana nzira yekuti mumwe munhu akaita seni akwanise kuwana mundima ine makwikwi uye inonetsa. Chinangwa changu chekubatanidza tsvakiridzo yehunyanzvi, kururamisira munharaunda, uye mutemo zvinorambwa nekuda kwekunyanya kuda chinzvimbo. Zvisinei, pandakatanga kushamwaridzana neBIMS, ndakaona hupamhi hwounyanzvi hwevatema vesainzi vegungwa. 

Dema muMarine Sayenzi yakabata Dr. Letise LaFeir, Mutevedzeri Mukuru weNOAA uyo anonyanya kugadzirisa marine biology uye mutemo, kuti ave nehurukuro pamusoro peOcean Championship. Sezvo Dr. LaFeir akatsanangura rwendo rwake, ndakaramba ndichinzwa zvakaitika kare, zvazvino, uye ramangwana munyaya yake. Akawana gungwa nekuona zvidzidzo zvedzidzo paDiscovery Channel nePBS nenzira imwechete yandaidyisa zvido zvangu kuburikidza nezvirongwa zvezviteshi izvi. Saizvozvowo, ndakatora chikamu mukudzidzira mukati mebasa rangu repasikiriyiti kukudziridza zvandaifarira musainzi yemugungwa saDr. LaFeir nevamwe vatauri. Pakupedzisira, ndakaona ramangwana rangu seshamwari yeKnauss. Ndakapihwa simba ndichiona vakadzi ava vakasangana nemiedzo mizhinji nenhamo seni, vachizadzisa zviroto zvangu. Chiitiko ichi chakandipa simba ndichiziva kuti ndakanga ndiri munzira yakarurama uye kuti paiva nevanhu vaigona kubatsira munzira.  

Kubva pandakawana BIMS, ndakakurudzirwa kuzadzisa zvinangwa zvangu. Apo pandinotanga rwendo rwangu rwekudzidzisa, chimwe chinangwa chikuru ndechekudzorera chandakapiwa nekuva chipangamazano wezvimwe zvidiki musainzi yegungwa. Saizvozvo, ndine chinangwa chekuvandudza masisitimu ekutsigira pakati pevezera rangu. Uyezve, ndinovimba kuti nharaunda yekuchengetedzwa kwemakungwa yakafemerwa zvakaenzana. Nekutanga kudyidzana nemasangano akadai seBIMS, nharaunda yezvekuchengetedza mugungwa inogona kudzidza nzira yekutsigira zvakanyanya vanhu vasina mimiriri. Kuburikidza nekudyidzana uku, ndinotarisira kuona nzira dzakawanda dzemikana mukuchengetedza zvikepe zvakagadzirirwa vanhu vasingamiriri. Idzi nzira dzakakosha masisitimu ekutsigira kune vanhu vasina kumirirwa avo nekuda kwemamiriro ezvinhu vaisazopihwa mikana iyi. Kukosha kwenzira idzi kunoonekwa muvadzidzi vakaita seni. Kuburikidza nechirongwa chenzira dzemugungwa chinopihwa neThe Ocean Foundation, nzvimbo yese yekuchengetedza yegungwa yakavhurwa kwandiri, ichindibvumira kuwana hunyanzvi hutsva uye kuita hukama hutsva. 

Tese tiri Makwikwi eOcean, uye nebasa iri, tinofanira kuzvigadzirisa kuti tive vabatsiri vari nani kurwisa kusaenzana. Ndinokurudzira isu tese kuti titarise mukati medu kuti tione kwatingape rutsigiro kune avo vakaremerwa nemamwe matambudziko.

Sezvambotaurwa, nyaya yaMoriah inoratidza kukosha kwekusiyana muchikamu chedu. Kubatanidza nekuvaka hukama neavo vaitaridzika saiye kwaikosha pakukura kwake, uye zvakapa nzvimbo yedu nepfungwa dzakajeka dzatingadai takarasikirwa. Nekuda kwehukama ihwohwo, Moriah akapihwa mukana weku:  

  • Kuwana kuwana zviwanikwa zvakakosha pakukura kwake nebudiriro;
  • Gamuchira kutungamira uye kudzidziswa semhedzisiro yekubatana kwakagadzirwa; 
  • Kunzwisisa uye kuwana kuratidzwa kumatambudziko aaizosangana nawo semunhu ane ruvara munharaunda yegungwa;
  • Ziva nzira yebasa kumberi, inosanganisira mikana yaasina kumboziva kuti iripo.

Mutema muSainzi yeMarine zviri pachena kuti akaita basa muhupenyu hwaMoriah, asi kune mamwe akawanda maMoriah munyika yedu. The Ocean Foundation inoda kukurudzira vamwe kutsigira BIMS, sezvakaitwa neTOF nemamwe mapoka, nokuda kwebasa rakaoma ravanoita uye vanhu vamwe navamwe—saMoria—nezvizvarwa zvavanokurudzira! 

Nyika yedu iri pamapfudzi evadiki vedu kuti tienderere mberi nezvatakatanga. Sekutaura kwakaita Moriah, ibasa redu kuchinjika uye kuva vabatsiri pakurwisa kusaenzana. TOF inodenha nharaunda yedu uye isu pachedu kuvaka shasha dzemunyanza kumativi ese, kuti tinzwisise zviri nani uye titsigire nharaunda dzatinoshandira.
