Jessie Neumann, TOF Communications Mubatsiri

Seagrass. Wakambonzwa nezvazvo?

Tinotaura nezvehuswa hwegungwa zvakanyanya pano paThe Ocean Foundation. Asi chii chaizvo uye nei ichikosha?

Huswa hwegungwa zvirimwa zvinotumbuka zvinokura mumvura isina kudzika mumahombekombe uye mumadhamu. Funga nezvelawn yako yepamberi… asi pasi pemvura. Iyi meadows inoita basa rakakura muecosystem masevhisi, kabhoni inokwira uye kusimba kwemahombekombe. Vanogona kunge vasina chimiro chemukurumbira chekorari, asi ivo vakakosha zvakaenzana uye zvakaenzana mukutyisidzira.

Chii Chakanyanya Kukosha nezveSeagrass?
Izvo zvakakosha kuhupenyu hwemugungwa, hutano hwegungwa uye nharaunda dzemahombekombe. Chirimwa chiri kukura chakaderera chinoshanda senzvimbo yekuchengetera hove dzechidiki, ichipa chikafu nepekugara kusvika dzagadzirira kutama, kazhinji kuenda kumakorari ari pedyo. Eka imwe yeuswa hwegungwa inotsigira hove 40,000 50 uye XNUMX miriyoni madiki invertebrates. Iye zvino ndiyo nharaunda ine vanhu vakawanda. Uswa hwegungwa hunoumbawo hwaro hwematande echikafu akawanda. Dzimwe dzemhuka dzedu dzemugungwa dzatinoda dzinoda kudya uswa hwegungwa, kusanganisira turuti dzemugungwa dziri mungozi yekutsakatika uye manatees ayo ari ekutanga kudya.

Uswa hwegungwa hwakakosha kune hutano hwegungwa rose uye chikamu chakakosha chemhinduro yekushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze. Ichi chirimwa chinokatyamadza chinogona kuchengeta kabhoni yakapetwa kaviri kupfuura sango repanyika. Wazvinzwa here? Kaviri! Nepo kudyara miti iri nhanho munzira kwayo, kudzoreredza nekudyara uswa hwegungwa inzira inoshanda zvakanyanya yekusekera kabhoni uye kuderedza mhedzisiro yegungwa acidification. Unobvunzirei? Zvakanaka, muvhu rakanyorova mune okisijeni shoma, saka kuwora kwezvinhu zvezvirimwa kunononoka uye kabhoni inoramba yakavharirwa uye yakasimba kwenguva refu. Uswa hwegungwa hunogara pasi pe 0.2% yemakungwa epasi rose, asi ivo vane mhosva inodarika gumi muzana yekabhoni yese yakavigwa mugungwa gore rega rega.

Kunharaunda dzenharaunda, uswa hwegungwa hwakakosha pakusimba kwemahombekombe. Nzvimbo dzepasi pemvura dzinosefa zvinosvibisa kubva mumvura uye dzinopa dziviriro kubva mukukukurwa kwemahombekombe, mafashamu emvura uye kukwira kwemakungwa. Seagrass yakakosha kune kwete chete hutano hwepasi pegungwa, asiwo hutano hwehupfumi hwematunhu emahombekombe. Vanopa nzvimbo yakaorera yekuredza yekunakidzwa uye vanokurudzira zviitiko zvevashanyi, senge snorkeling uye diving. MuFlorida, uko huswa hwegungwa hunokura, hunofungidzirwa kuve nehupfumi hwemadhora makumi maviri nemazana mashanu paeka uye hupfumi hwenyika hwese hwemadhora 20,500 bhiriyoni pagore.

Kutyisidzira kuSeagrass

Dambudziko guru kune uswa hwegungwa ndisu. Zvese zviri zviviri zviitwa zvihombe nezvidiki zvevanhu, kubva mukusvibiswa kwemvura uye kudziya kwepasi kusvika kune mavanga epropeller uye pasi pezvikepe, zvinotyisidzira mafuro egungwa. Prop mavanga, mhedzisiro yeinotenderedza propeller sezvo igwa rinofamba pamusoro pebhangi risina kudzika richicheka midzi yemiti, inonyanya kutyisidzira sezvo mavanga anowanzokura kuita migwagwa. Mabhomba anovhuvhuta kana chikepe chadzika uye kuyedza kudzima mumubhedha usina kudzika wehuswa hwegungwa. Aya maitiro, kunyangwe achizivikanwa mumvura yemahombekombe eUS, ari nyore kudzivirira nenharaunda yekufambisa uye dzidzo yevanofamba nechikepe.

Kudzoreredzwa kwehuswa hwemugungwa hune mavanga kunogona kutora makore gumi nekuti kana huswa hwemugungwa hwadzurwa, kukukurwa kwenzvimbo yakapoteredza kwava pedyo. Uye nepo nzira dzekudzorera dzakavandudzwa mumakore gumi apfuura, zvinoramba zvakaoma uye zvinodhura kudzorera mibhedha yehuswa hwegungwa. Funga nezvebasa rose rinopinda mukudyara mubhedha wemaruva, zvino fungidzira uchizviita pasi pemvura, muSCUBA gear, pamusoro pemaeka akawanda. Ndosaka chirongwa chedu, SeaGrass Kura chakanyanya kukosha. Isu tatova nemitoo yekudzorera uswa hwegungwa.

2. Iva mutyairi ane hunyanzvi. Prop-dredging uye seagrass scarring isimba risingakoshi kune zviwanikwa zvaunogona kudzora. Dzidza machati ako. Verenga mvura. Ziva kudzika kwako uye kunyora kwako.
3. Deredza kusvibiswa kwemvura. Chengetedza buffer yezvirimwa padivi pemahombekombe ako kudzivirira kusvibiswa kuti kusapinda munzira dzedu dzemvura. Izvi zvichabatsirawo kuchengetedza chivakwa chako kubva mukukukurwa uye kunonoka kwemvura yemafashama panguva yezviitiko zvedutu.
4. Paridza shoko. Batanidza nemasangano emunharaunda anokurudzira kuchengetedza zvisikwa uye dzidzo yeuswa hwegungwa.
