Khumbula Iintsalela zoMlambo

Le yinxalenye yoluhlu olunamacandelo amathathu malunga nokungxamiseka kokukhusela iMallows Bay.

Ukuhlala udada phezu kokutshintsha kwamaza kubaluleke kakhulu ngoku njengoko kwakuyiminyaka engama-90 eyadlulayo ukuphukelwa kweenqanawa eMallows Bay. Iimayile ezingamashumi amathathu emazantsi eWashington, DC ecaleni koMlambo iPotomac, iinqanawa ezinkulu zomthi zamandulo kunye nentsimbi yomphunga ezazifudula zisebenzela i-US Shipping Board Fleet, ngoku zisebenzela indalo. Itshiswe kwaye yatshiswa kwintlenga yeChesapeake Bay, “iGhost Fleet” yaseMallows Bay – ingqokelela yeenqanawa ezimalunga ne-100 ukuya kuma-200 ezisuka kwiNguqulelo kunye neMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala – itshintshile ukusukela oko yaba yindawo yokuhlala eyimbali yezilwanyana zasendle ezikhethekileyo zommandla.¹

IMallows Bay kunye nenethiwekhi yendlela yoMlambo iPotomac itsala abatyeleli rhoqo ngezizathu ezininzi. Ukuloba okudumileyo, ukukhwela amaphenyane ukuzonwabisa, ukubalisa amabali kunye nenkqubo yokufundisa zonke zixhomekeke kwimpilo yaseMallows Bay. Olu luhlu lukhethekileyo lwamanzi aseMaryland lubonisa imbali yeChesapeake Bay. Ngowe-1917, uMongameli Woodrow Wilson wayalela ukuba kwakhiwe iinqanawa zokulwa ezili-1,000 18 kwisithuba nje seenyanga ezili-1918. Kuphela malunga nesiqingatha sahamba ngomkhumbi iAtlantiki ngaphambi kokuba iJamani inikezele ngo-XNUMX ishiya izikhephe eziseleyo, ezingasetyenziswanga zingenaxabiso.² Ababhali-mbali baselwandle baphinda bagxininise uqhagamshelo lwayo kwimbali yamakhoboka yaseMaryland yase-Afrika yaseMelika ngexesha leMfazwe yamakhaya kunye nobukho bonxibelelwano lwezakudala kunye nenkcubeko kwisizwe sasePiscataway-Conoy.³ Ukuba ichongelwe ngokusesikweni iNational Marine Sanctuary yiNOAA, iMallows Bay-Potomac River iya kukhusela izibonelelo zokusingqongileyo zoMlambo kunye ne-ethe-ethe, i-biodiversity ecosystems phakathi kwezo ntsalela zibalulekileyo.

Sinethuba lokuqinisekisa ukuba iMallows Bay ifumana ukuwongwa kwaye ngoko ke ukhuseleko eludingayo ukuze ikhule kwizizukulwana ezizayo. Ezi ziiveki zokugqibela zokuvakalisa inkxaso yakho kunye nezimvo zakho kwi-NOAA ngokugcina eyona ndibano inkulu yembali yokuphuka kwenqanawa kwiNtshona yeHemisphere kunye neentlobo-ntlobo zezinto eziphilayo ezihamba kunye.⁴ Izindululo ezine zisaxoxwa malunga nokuba iMallows Bay iza kukhuselwa njani. Izicwangciso zisusela kwinyathelo elingu100, ukuya kugutyungelo olupheleleyo lwengingqi olunabela i-XNUMX yeemayile zesikwere.⁵ I-Ocean Foundation inebhongo yokuxhasa iChesapeake Conservancy ecaleni kweChesapeake & Coastal Service kunye neSebe lezeNdalo laseMaryland kunye nenkitha yabaxhasi kunye neendwendwe zaseMallows Bay Park ekufumaneni iwonga le-NOAA ngokusemthethweni kule ndawo imangalisayo. Ngokungathandabuzekiyo kungenxa yeenzame ezohlukeneyo nezandisiweyo zothungelwano kunye nentsebenziswano yasekuhlaleni esinokuthi siyithethelele kwaye siyigcine iMallow's Bay.;

Uyakwazi ukujonga iziphakamiso kunye Ngenisa izimvo zakho ukuze ufumane inkxaso yoluntu apha.
