Izenzo zoBubele boMnenga woLwandle

nguGqr Steven Swartz, iLaguna San Ignacio Inkqubo yeNzululwazi ye-Ecosystem - iprojekthi ye-Ocean Foundation

UGqr. Steven Swartz ubuyile kwixesha eliyimpumelelo lophando lomnenga wasebusika eLaguna San Ignacio, eBaja California kwaye wabelane ngamava eqela lakhe kobu busika buvuza “izenzo ezingaqhelekanga zobubele bolwandle” kunye nokukhuthaza. "Blue Marble" ulwazi njengenxalenye ye INkqubo yeSayensi yeLaguna San Ignacio's Iinzame zokufikelela.

Kunyaka wesibini olandelelanayo iLaguna San Ignacio iye yabamba irekhodi eliphezulu leminenga engwevu (emalunga nama-350 abantu abadala ngexesha lonyaka eliphezulu), kwaye irekhoda amanani amabini amathole, ebekhangeleka esempilweni kakhulu, nto leyo eqinisekisayo ukusuka kumaxesha anzima. ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1990 nasekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-2000 xa utshintsho lwemozulu yehlabathi lwaluchaphazela ukufumaneka kokutya kweminenga engwevu eArctic. Konke oku kucebisa ukuba iminenga ifumana indawo ekhuselweyo yaselwandle yaseLaguna San Ignacio njengendawo ekhululekileyo yokudibanisa ebusika kunye nendawo yokuzalanisa, ngaloo ndlela ifezekisa iinjongo kunye nomsebenzi weVizcaíno Biosphere Reserve yaseMexico, eyinxalenye yechweba.

Njengenxalenye yokufikelela kuluntu lwasekuhlaleni lwe-ecotourism kunye nabakhenkethi ababukele iminenga, siye sanikezela nge-200+ Blue Marbles kubabukeli beminenga abavela kwihlabathi lonke, kubaqhubi be-eco-tourism, kunye nabafundi abavela kwizikolo eziphakamileyo zasekuhlaleni. Sabaxelela ukuba ngokuthatha ixesha labo kunye neendleko zokutyelela iLaguna San Ignacio ukuze bafumane amava kwaye bafunde malunga neminenga kunye nobunye ubomi baselwandle obubiza le ecosystem ikhethekileyo likhaya labo, babonelela ngexabiso lezoqoqosho kwaye (kwimeko yabaqhubi be-ecotourism kunye nabafundi. ) isibonelelo semfundo esixhasa kwaye sithethelela ukugcinwa kwale nkqubo yezinto eziphilayo nendawo eziphila kuyo njengendawo ekhuselweyo yezilwanyana zasendle endaweni yokuba ijike ibe yindawo yetyuwa yoshishino, umgodi wephosphate, okanye elinye iqumrhu elingenalo ulondolozo. Kwaye, oko kumbono wethu "Sisenzo esiNgaqhelekanga soBubele baseLwandle" obufanele iBlue Marble. Sayenza yacaca into yokuba babengabagcini beeBlue Marbles zabo, yaye babenoxanduva lokuzidlulisela kwabanye ukuba ekugwebeni kwabo benze ezinye “Izenzo Ezingacwangciswanga Zobubele Baselwandle.”

Kodwa asiphelelanga apho… ILaguna San Ignacio idume “ngeMinenga enobubele” okanye “iLas Ballenas Misteriosas.” Ukususela ngeminyaka yee-1970, eminye iminenga engwevu nengalawulekiyo iye yenza umkhwa wokuqubha ukuya kutsho kwizikhephe zokubukela iminenga ukuze idibane nokubulisa abakhweli, ivumela lowo ubukele iminenga ukuba ayiphulule aze ayihlikihle entloko. Abo badibana nomnenga ongwevu kufutshane kunye nobuqu ngale ndlela baye bachukunyiswa ngokunyanisekileyo, kwaye beza noxabiso olongeziweyo lweminenga, kunye nolwandle. Kwiminyaka eyi-30 + le nto iqhubekile, iminenga iye yachukumisa amawaka eendwendwe zabantu eLaguna San Ignacio, kwaye ngokwenza njalo baye bakhuthaza ukulondolozwa kunye nokukhuselwa kweminenga, kwaye mhlawumbi kubaluleke kakhulu, ukugcinwa kwe-ecosystem ye-Laguna San Ignacio iindawo zolwandle ezifanayo ezizodwa ezikhuselweyo kulo lonke ihlabathi.

Ke, kuvavanyo lwethu, iminenga engwevu iye yazibophelela ngokudibeneyo “Izenzo ezingaqhelekanga zoBububele boLwandle” ngamawaka. Ke ngoko, siwonge “iiMarbles eziBlue” kwiminenga engwevu yaseLaguna San Ignacio, njengophawu lokuzinikela kwabo ekukhuthazeni abantu ukuba baluthathele ingqalelo ulondolozo lwaselwandle kunye nokukhuthaza ukulondolozwa kolwandle kwihlabathi liphela.
