Wise Voyage Logs: Chikamu I

Anotevera matanda emazuva ese akanyorwa naDr. John Wise. Pamwe chete nechikwata chavo, Dr. Wise vakafamba mukati nekutenderera Gulf yeCalifornia vachitsvaga mawhale. Dr. Wise vanomhanyisa The Wise Laboratory yeEvironment & Genetic Toxicology.

Day 1
Mukugadzirira rwendo, ndakadzidza kuti kune huwandu hunoramba huchiwedzera kuedza, kuronga, kuzvipira uye rombo rakanaka kutibvumira kuti tisvike kuchikepe, kuungana sechikwata uye kugadzirira mazuva ekushanda mugungwa. Miniti yekupedzisira snafus, mamiriro ekunze asina chokwadi, zvinhu zvakaomarara zvese zvinorangana mune symphony yemhirizhonga kutikanganisa uye kutipikisa isu tichigadzirira rwendo rwuri pamberi. Pakupedzisira, tinogona kutendeukira kune basa riripo totsvaka ma<em>whale. Mazuva mazhinji ekushanda nesimba ari mberi nemiedzo nenhamo dzavo uye tichazvigadzirisa nekuedza kwedu kukuru. Zvakatitorera zuva rose (9 maawa) muzuva rinopisa reCortez uye rimwe rinoshamisa basa remuchinjiko rakaitwa naJohnny, uye takakwanisa kuenzanisa mawhale ese ari maviri. Inzira yakanaka yekutanga rwendo - 2 biopsies pazuva rekutanga mushure mekukunda kwezvipingamupinyi zvakawanda!

Day 2
Takasangana nemadhadha akawanda akafa. Chikonzero chekufa kwavo hachizivikanwi uye hachizivikanwi. Asi mitumbi yakawanda yakazvimba ichiyangarara semabhuya ari mumvura yaiita kuti zvive pachena kuti pane chimwe chinhu chisina kumira zvakanaka chaiitika. Hove dzakafa dzatakaona nezuro, uye shumba yegungwa yakafa yatakapfuura nhasi inongoshanda kusimudzira chakavanzika uye kusimbisa kudiwa kwekutarisa kuri nani uye kunzwisisa kwekusvibiswa kwegungwa. Ukuru hwegungwa hwakauya apo hove hombe inonzi humpback whale yakabhururutswa nefashoni pamberi chaipo peigwa isu tose takatarisa! Takawana biopsy yedu yekutanga yemangwanani kubva kuhumpback yekudyisa nekuratidzira kwakanaka kwekubatana sezvo Mark akatitungamira nehunyanzvi kune whale kubva kunhau dzegunguwo.

Day 3
Ndakaona kuti nhasi richange riri zuva rekuvaka hunhu kwatiri tese. X aisazomaka nzvimbo pazuva iri; maawa akawanda ekutsvaka aizodiwa. Nezuva richitipisa kwezuva rechitatu - whale yakanga iri mberi kwedu. Ipapo yaive kumashure kwedu. Rakabva rasara kwatiri. Ipapo zvakanga zvakarurama kwatiri. Wow, whale yaBryde inokurumidza. Saka takananga. Takatendeuka ndokudzokera. Takaenda kuruboshwe. Takafamba zvakanaka. Kwese uko hove yaida kuti titendeuke. Takatendeuka. Zvakadaro hapana padhuze. Zvino sekunge yaiziva kuti mutambo wapera, whale yakaonekwa uye Carlos akadanidzira ari mudendere regunguwo. “Ipo ipapo! Padivi pechikepe chaipo”. Chokwadi, whale yakasvika padivi peaya maviri mabiopsies uye sampuli yakawanikwa. Isu ne whale takaparadzana. Takazowana imwe whale gare gare muzuva - fin whale panguva ino uye takawana imwe sampuli. Chikwata chakanyatsobatana uye chiri kushanda pamwe chete zvakanaka. Yedu yese ikozvino 7 biopsies kubva ku5 whales uye 3 mhando dzakasiyana.

Day 4
Ndichingogutsurira hope dzemangwanani, ndakanzwa kudanwa "ballena", Spanish for whale. Chokwadi, chinhu chokutanga chandaifanira kuita kuita chisarudzo chokukurumidza. Fin whale yaive mamaira anenge maviri munzira imwe. Mahumpback whales maviri aive akareba mamaira maviri kune rumwe rutivi uye maonero aisiyana kuti aende kupi. Ndakasarudza kuti taizopatsanurana kuita mapoka maviri sezvo pakanga paine mukana mudiki pane ese matatu whales seboka rimwe. Takaita sezvatinoita, uye takabvisa chinhambwe tichiswedera pedyo nekuswedera, asi tisamboswedera zvakakwana kune whale. Ukuwo igwa, sezvandaitya, harina kuwana mahumpback whales uye pasina nguva rakadzoka risina chinhu. Asi, kudzoka kwavo kwakagadzirisa imwe nyaya uye isu tichivatungamira, vakakwanisa kutora biopsy yewhale, uye isu takadzokera kunzira yedu yekuchamhembe takananga kuchinangwa chedu chekupedzisira cheSan Felipe kwatinozochinjanisa vashandi veWise Lab.

Day 5
Nhanganyaya dzechikwata:
Iri basa rinosanganisira mapoka matatu akasiyana - timu yeWise Laboratory, yeSea Shepherd crew uye Universidad Autonoma de Baja California Sur (UABCS) timu.

Chikwata cheUABCS:
Carlos naAndrea: vadzidzi vaJorge, anova mugamuchiri wenzvimbo yedu uye mushandirwi uye ane mvumo inodiwa yekuMexico yekuenzanisira.

Gwaii Mufudzi:
Captain Fanch: kaputeni, Carolina: nyanzvi yezvenhau, Sheila: mubiki wedu, Nathan: deckhand kubva kuFrance

Wise Lab Team:
Mako: Mutungamiri webasa redu reGulf of Maine, Rick: kubva kuGulf of Mexico neGulf of Maine nzendo, Rachel: Ph.D. mudzidzi paYunivhesiti yeLouisville, Johnny: whale biopsier extraordinaire, Sean: ari kuuya Ph.D. mudzidzi, James: musayendisiti
Pakupedzisira, ndiripo. Ini ndiri mukuru wechiitiko ichi uye mutungamiri weWise Laboratory.

Nemanzwi gumi nerimwe, kubva kuzvikwata zvitatu zvine 11 tsika dzakasiyana dzekushanda, harisi basa diki, asi rinonakidza uye riri kuyerera uye tiri kunyatsoshanda pamwe chete zvakanaka. Iboka guru revanhu, vose vakazvipira uye vanoshanda nesimba!

Day 6
[Paiva] nehove inonzi humpback whale pedyo nechiteshi chedu chaishambira ichienda nekudzoka, zvichida yakarara saka takatanga kutevera. Pakupedzisira, whale ichangoonekwa pachiteshi chedu chechikepe chiri munzvimbo yakakwana yebiopsy saka takatora imwe tikafunga nezvechipo chekutanga cheIsita. Nhamba yedu yebiopsy yaive pane imwe yezuva.
Uyezve… Masperm whale! Ndizvo nguva pfupi mushure mekudya kwemasikati - sperm whale yakaonekwa mberi. Awa rakapfuura, uye ipapo whale yakaonekwa, uye pamwe chete nayo yechipiri whale. Zvino takaziva kwavainanga. Ndekupi kunotevera? Ndakazvipa fungidziro yangu. Imwe awa yakapera. Zvino, nemashiripiti, whale yakaoneka ichibva kudivi rechiteshi chedu. Ndainge ndafungidzira zvakanaka. Takapotsa iyo whale yekutanga, asi biopsies yechipiri. Sere whales nemhando nhatu dzese biopsed mune rimwe zuva rakanaka reIsita! Takanga taunganidza 26 biopsies kubva 21 whale uye 4 mhando dzakasiyana (urume, humpback, fin uye Bryde's). 

Day 7
Zuva rakanyarara kune chikamu chikuru, apo isu takafukidza imwe nzvimbo mukutsvaga kwedu biopsy whale, uye kutora vashandi vatsva muSan Felipe. Kuchovha tichitarisana nemhepo muchiteshi kwaitinonotsa, saka Captain Fanch akasimudza seiri kuti ayambuke. Mumwe nemumwe wedu akafara nemukana wekufamba nechikepe zvishoma.

Day 8
Chese chiitiko chebiopsy nhasi chakaitika mambakwedza, uye kubva mugwa. Takanga tine matombo ane ngozi pasi pemvura, zvichiita kuti zvitiomere kufamba muMartin Sheen. Takamisa igwa sezvo mawhale akanga ava pedyo nemhenderekedzo, uye machati acho akanga asina chokwadi zvikuru kuti matombo acho akanga ari papi. Mushure menguva pfupi, Johnny naCarlos vakave ne 4 biopsy kubva mugwa, uye takanga tadzokera munzira yedu, uye tine tariro yezvimwe. Asi, izvo zvingave zvezuva iro, sezvo isu takangoona uye biopsied imwe whale pazuva. Tine 34 biopsies kubva kumawhale makumi maviri nemanomwe kusvika pari zvino ne27 whales dzatatora nhasi. Isu tine mamiriro ekunze ari kuuya saka tichafanirwa kunge tiri muSan Felipe zuva risati rasvika. 

Kuverenga zvinyorwa zvaDr. Wise kana kuverenga zvakawanda nezvebasa rake, ndapota shanya Iyo Wise Laboratory Webhusaiti. Chikamu II chiri kuuya munguva pfupi.
