Kusukela ku-Workshop ka-Rembrandt kuya kuma-Corals of the Deep Sea

Ukumbozwa komhlangano wesi-5 we-International Deep Sea Coral Symposium, e-Amsterdam

I-Atelier kaRembrandt e-Amsterdam

AMSTERDAM, NL, Ephreli 2, 2012 – Esitezi esiphezulu se-Rembrandt House, lapho kwakuhlala khona iciko lekhulu le-17, kunesitolo senkosi, esiphelele ngotshwala obudumile obukhunjulwa kweminye yemisebenzi yakhe edume kakhulu.

Eduze kwesitolo kukhona igumbi lezinto ezenziwe ngezandla, lapho osomabhizinisi base-Amsterdam bephumelele ngokwanele ukuthumela umdwebo ovela kungcweti bengakwazi ukukhetha phakathi kwezinto ezihlukahlukene ababefisa zifakwe esithombeni sabo. Izinqumo zabo zaziyobonisa indlela ababefisa ukubukwa ngayo izizukulwane ezizayo.

Amakhorali aboniswa e-Atelier ka-Rembrandt, e-Amsterdam

Kuningi phakathi kwezinto ezitholakalayo izinhlobonhlobo zezinhlobo zamakhorali ezomisiwe njengabalandeli bolwandle. Abanikazi bemikhumbi bangakhetha lokhu njengezimpawu zokukhalipha kwabo kwezezimali emhlabeni jikelele. Osomabhizinisi ababukhali kakhulu kuphela ababekwazi ukuhlela uhambo lokuya emazweni angaleso sikhathi e-Indies, eMpumalanga noma eNtshonalanga, ayezoqoqa futhi abuye namasampula ezinto ezingavamile zemvelo ezitholakala lapho.

Le nkathi yokuqala yokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi emhlabeni wonke ingase iphawule ukuqala kokushabalala kwezinhlelo zamakhorali eplanethi yethu. Okaputeni bemikhumbi bazimisele ukuhlola “iziLwandle Eziyisikhombisa” mhlawumbe balime phezu kwezixhobo, bazicekela phansi benganakile, noma badabula izibonelo kuzo zezazi zemvelo emuva eYurophu.

Ngakho-ke mhlawumbe kuyafaneleka ukuthi inkomfa yesihlanu yaleli sonto yomhlaba wonke yesayensi yamanzi abandayo noma i-deep-water-coral (I-International Symposium on Deep-Sea Corals) ibanjelwe lapha, edolobheni elibambe imisebenzi yokuqala yemikhumbi yezohwebo emhlabeni wonke.

Kuleli sonto ososayensi abangaphezu kuka-200 abahlola isimangaliso samakhorali amanzi abandayo - amakhorali akwazi ukuphila emanzini abandayo angakujabuleli ukukhanya kwelanga - bayahlangana ukuze baxoxe ngalokho abakutholile kwakamuva. Izingxoxo zizosukela ku-taxonomy kanye nezakhi zofuzo kuye ekutholweni kwakamuva kwezindawo ezibalulekile zamakhorali zamanzi abandayo kwezinye izindawo ezimangazayo - njengendawo eseduze nogu oluseningizimu-mpumalanga ye-United States noma ezindaweni ezizungeze i-Florida Keys.

Ucwaningo oluningi olwethulwe lapha kule nkundla luzohlinzeka ngesisekelo sesayensi senqubomgomo yamazwe ngamazwe yesikhathi esizayo futhi luzonquma ukuthi iziNdawo Zasolwandle Ezivikelekile zizomenyezelwa kuphi emhlabeni.

Izingxoxo zizosukela ekutholakaleni kwamakhorali amanzi abandayo oLwandle Olubomvu olucindezelwe ngokwezemvelo oluhlukanisa i-Afrika ne-Saudi Arabia kuya ocwaningweni lwe-paleontology yezindunduma zamakhorali zamanzi abandayo eDenmark.

Okugqamile kwengqungquthela kungase kube ingxoxo yangoLwesithathu ekuseni yokuphazanyiswa kwe-anthropogenic nempilo yemvelo yalezi zimiso zemvelo zasendulo. Ezinye zalezi zinhlelo sezikhule iminyaka engaphezu kuka-10,000, kusukela ngaphambi kwenkathi yokulima kwabantu.

Kodwa nokho, imisebenzi yabantu yesimanje njengokumba uwoyela negesi noma ukudobela izinhlanzi ngamanetha kungase kuqede noma kubambezele ukukhiqiza kwazo.

NgoLwesithathu ekuseni, uGregory S. Boland we-US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management uhlelelwe ukwethula inothi elibalulekile elinesihloko esithi “Deep-Sea Corals kanye Nemboni Kawoyela Negesi eGulf of Mexico.” Inkulumo kaBoland izolandelwa yizingxoxo zososayensi abaye bahlola imiphumela yokuchitheka kwe-Deepwater Horizon eGulf of Mexico ezimisweni zamakhorali zamanzi abandayo.

NgoLwesihlanu ntambama, ingqungquthela izophothulwa ngenkulumo yosuku emele inkampani yezamandla iStatoil, eyingxenye yabaxhasi bale ngqungquthela.
