Zingaphi iirekhodi esiya kuziqhekeza?

Andizange ndiyibone ngolu hlobo ngaphambili. Oko koko ndiye ndakuva ngokuphindaphindiweyo njengoko ndandisiya kwimimandla eyahlukahlukeneyo kwezi veki zimbalwa zidluleyo—eLa Jolla naseLaguna Beach, ePortland naseRockland, eBoston naseCambridge, eNew Orleans naseCovington, eKey West naseKey Savannah.

Yayingeyiyo nje irekhodi elaphula ukufudumala kwe-9 kaMatshi kumntla-mpuma okanye izantyalantyala zemvula ezalandela iintsuku zemvula eLouisiana nakwezinye iindawo ezisemazantsi. Yayingekokuqala nje ukuntshula kwezityalo ezininzi okanye umsinga oyityhefu obulala izilwanyana zaselwandle kunye nokonakalisa isivuno soonokrwece kulo lonke unxweme olusentshona. Yayingazange ilunywe nayingcongconi kwangaphambi kokuba intwasahlobo iqalise ngokusemthethweni kummandla osemantla we-hemisphere! Yayiyimvakalelo eyothusayo yabantu abaninzi, kubandakanywa nabanye abadlali bephaneli nabathabathi nxaxheba kwezi ntlanganiso, ukuba sikwixesha lotshintsho olukhawulezileyo ngokwaneleyo ukuba sibone kwaye sizive, nokuba yintoni na esiyenzayo yonke imihla.

ECalifornia, ndathetha kwi-Scripps malunga nendima enokubakho yekhabhoni eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ekuncedeni ukucima ezinye zeempembelelo zemisebenzi yabantu elwandle. Abafundi abaphumeleleyo abanethemba, abajolise kwisisombululo abadibene nam kwaye babuza imibuzo emikhulu balazi ngokupheleleyo ilifa elivela kwizizukulwana ezingaphambi kwabo. EBoston, ndanikela intetho ngemiphumo enokubakho yokutshintsha kwemozulu kukutya kwaselwandle—ezinye sele sizibona, yaye ezinye sinokuzibona. Kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo, zininzi esingenakuzilindela ngenxa yendalo yotshintsho olukhawulezileyo—asizange siyibone ngolu hlobo ngaphambili.

ECambridge, abaxhasi ngezimali kunye nabacebisi bezemali bebethetha ngendlela yokulungelelanisa utyalo-mali kunye nemisebenzi yethu yesisa kwintlanganiso yonyaka. I-Confluence Philanthropy. Uninzi lwengxoxo lujolise kwiinkampani ezizinzileyo ezifunayo, kunye nokuvelisa, izisombululo ezizinzileyo ezinikezela ngembuyekezo yezoqoqosho engasekelwanga kumafutha efosili. I-Divest-Invest Philanthropy iqokelele amalungu ayo okuqala ngo-2014. Ngoku ibamba imibutho engaphezu kwama-500 exabisa ngaphezu kwe-3.4 yezigidigidi zeedola kunye abathembise ngokuzikhupha kwi-200 ye-carbon based stocks kunye nokutyala imali kwizisombululo zemozulu. Asizange siyibone ngolu hlobo ngaphambili.

Ilungu leBhunga le-TOF Seascape Council u-Aimée Christensen uthethe ngendlela ukuzinikela kosapho lwakhe ekwandiseni utyalo-mali lwamandla elanga kwidolophu yakowabo i-Sun Valley kuyilelwe ukuphucula ukomelela koluntu ngokuguqula imithombo yalo yamandla-kunye nokulungelelanisa umdla wabo nomsebenzi wabo. Kwakwiphaneli enye, uSihlalo weBhodi yabaCebisi be-TOF, u-Angel Braestrup, wathetha ngenkqubo yokulungelelanisa abaxhasi, amashishini, kunye namaqumrhu angenzi nzuzo ukuchonga utyalo-mali olulungileyo kuluntu oluselunxwemeni kunye nemithombo yolwandle ebagcinayo. URockefeller & Company's Rolando Morillo kunye nam sibonisa ngeSicwangciso-qhinga saseRockefeller Ocean kunye nendlela amalungu okuqala ebhodi ye-Ocean Foundation aye anceda ngayo ekuphembeleleni uphando lotyalo-mali olwalusebenza kakuhle elwandle, kunokuba lungabi mbi elwandle. Kwaye wonke umntu waphuncuka kumagumbi enkomfa angenafestile okwethutyana ukuze athambe emoyeni oshushu wasentwasahlobo. Asizange siyibone ngolu hlobo nge-9 kaMatshi ngaphambili.

Kwi-Key West, thina malungu eKomishoni yoLwandle lwaseSargasso sadibana ukuze sithethe ngokulondolozwa koLwandle lwaseSargasso (kunye neemethi zalo ezidadayo zekhusi, ukondla ukhula lwaselwandle). Ulwandle yenye yezona ndawo zibalulekileyo zokuhlala elwandle kumantshontsho olwandle kunye nee-eels. Ukanti, kwiminyaka yakutshanje, kuye kwakho ulwando olumangalisayo lokuhlanjwa kweemethi ze<em>sargassum kumanxweme anqumla kwiCaribbean, olona lubi kakhulu ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ngo-2015. Sijonge ukuba yintoni ebangele oku kukhula kukhulu kwe-sargassum ngaphandle kwemida yayo? Kwakutheni ukuze ivelise iitoni ezininzi kangaka zobutyobo obunukayo obugubungele izidalwa zolwandle ezikufuphi nonxweme zenza ukuba abo babeza kuba ngabakhenkethi batshintshe izicwangciso zabo? Asizange siyibone ngolu hlobo ngaphambili.

KwiSiqithi saseTybee naseSavannah, le ntetho imalunga nezinto ezibizwa ngokuba yi-king tide events-ixesha lobugcisa bokuhamba kwamaza aphakamileyo abangela izikhukula kwiindawo ezisezantsi, njengeSavannah ngokufanelekileyo ebizwa ngokuba yiRiver Street. Ebudeni beenyanga ezintsha nezizeleyo, ilanga nenyanga ziyafola, yaye umxhuzulane wazo ziyadibana, zirhuqa ulwandle. Oku kubizwa ngokuba ngamaza asentwasahlobo. Ngasekupheleni kobusika nasekuqaleni kwentwasahlobo, njengoko umhlaba udlula kufutshane nelanga kumjikelezo wawo, kukho ukutsalwa okwaneleyo okongeziweyo elwandle ukuze kuguqulwe amaza asentlakohlaza abe ngamaza ookumkani, ngakumbi ukuba kukho umoya oselunxwemeni okanye enye imeko exhasayo. Inani leziganeko ezikhukulayo ezivela kwi-king tides liyakhula ngenxa yokuba umgangatho wolwandle sele uphezulu. Ngo-Oktobha ophelileyo ukumkani wakhukula iindawo ezithile zeTybee Island kunye neenxalenye zeSavannah, kuquka neSitalato saseRiver. Kusongelwa kwakhona kule ntwasahlobo. Iwebhusayithi yeSixeko igcina uludwe oluluncedo lweendlela ekufuneka ziphetshwe kwiimvula ezinkulu. Inyanga epheleleyo yayiyi-23 kaMatshi kwaye umsinga wawuphezulu kakhulu, ngokuyinxenye ngenxa ye-noreaster yexesha elidlulileyo elingaqhelekanga. Asizange siyibone ngolu hlobo ngaphambili.

Kuninzi okuseza kumalunga nokuziqhelanisa nokucwangcisa. Sinokunceda ekuqinisekiseni ukuba i-king tides ayihlambi imithwalo emitsha yeplastiki kunye nolunye udoti lubuyela elwandle. Sinokusebenza kwiindlela zokucoca iimfumba zokhula lwaselwandle ngaphandle kokwenzakalisa ngakumbi izilwanyana zaselwandle, kwaye mhlawumbi nangokulujika lube yinto eluncedo njengesichumiso. Sinokutyala imali kwiinkampani ezilungele ulwandle. Sinokujonga iindlela zokunciphisa unyawo lwethu lwemozulu apho sinakho, kwaye silungise kangangoko sinako. Kwaye singakwenza oko nangona ixesha elitsha ngalinye linokuzisa into esingazange siyibone ngaphambili.
