Izinkulumo-mpikiswano Zoshaka Zamazwe Ngamazwe zibeka Izikhundla zase-US Ekukhanyeni

Ukuqhubeka kobuholi emhlanganweni wezokudoba e-Atlantic kungasindisa ama-kos Asengcupheni kanye nokulwa nokuqothulwa kwezinhlanzi

Washington, DC. Novemba 12, 2019. Abalondolozi bemvelo babheke e-US ukuze bahole ngaphambi komhlangano wamazwe omhlaba wabadobi ongaguqula isimo se-Endangered mako sharks futhi usize ekuvimbeleni ukuxoshwa (ukusika amaphiko kashaka nokulahla isidumbu olwandle). Emhlanganweni wayo wangomhla ziyi-18-25 kuNovemba eMallorca, Ikhomishana Yamazwe Ngamazwe Yokongiwa kwe-Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) izocubungula okungenani iziphakamiso ezimbili zokongiwa koshaka: (1) ukuvimbela ukugcinwa kwama-shortfin makos adotshwe ngokweqile, okusekelwe eselulekweni esisha sesayensi esisangulukisayo, kanye (2) nokufuna ukuthi bonke oshaka abavunyelwe ukugitsheliswa bahlale besanamathiselwe amaphiko abo, ukuze kube lula ukuphoqelelwa kokuvinjelwa kokufakwa kwezinsimbi. I-US ihole imizamo yokuqinisa ukuvinjelwa kokufakwa kwezimali kwe-ICCAT iminyaka eyishumi. Naphezu kokunciphisa kwakamuva, i-US isakleliswe endaweni yesithathu phakathi kwama-ICCAT Parties angama-53 ngo-2018 ekufikeni kweNorth Atlantic shortfin mako (okuthathwe ezindaweni zokudoba zokungcebeleka nezohwebo); Isimo sikahulumeni mayelana nokuvalwa kwe-mako okuhlongozwa yiSenegal akukacaci.

"I-US ibilokhu ihamba phambili emhlabeni wonke kwezokongiwa koshaka amashumi eminyaka futhi ayikaze isekele izeluleko zesayensi futhi indlela yokuqapha ibibaluleke kakhulu," kusho uSonja Fordham, umongameli weShark Advocates International. "I-ICCAT ibhekene nesimo esibucayi ekulawuleni ukudoba oshaka, futhi indlela yase-US ezingxoxweni ezizayo ingase inqume ukuthi ngabe umzimba uyaqhubeka yini nokwehluleka kwalezi zilwane ezisengozini noma uphendukela ezinyathelweni ezinomthwalo wemfanelo ezibeka izibonelo ezinhle emhlabeni jikelele."

I-shortfin mako iwushaka oyigugu ngokukhethekile, ofunwa inyama, amaphiko, nomdlalo. Ukukhula kancane kubenza babe sengcupheni yokudoba ngokweqile. Ososayensi be-ICCAT baxwayisa ngokuthi ukutholwa kwe-shortfin makos eNyakatho ye-Atlantic kuzothatha iminyaka engu-~25 ngisho noma kungabanjwanga. Batusa ukuthi abadobi banqatshelwe ukugcina noma yimaphi ama-shortfin makos avela kulaba bantu.

NgoMashi 2019, i-International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) yahlukanisa ama-shortfin (kanye ne-longfin) mako ngokuthi Asengcupheni, ngokusekelwe kumbandela wohlu Olubomvu. Ngo-Agasti, i-US ivotele ngokumelene nesiphakamiso esiyimpumelelo sokufaka ohlwini zombili izinhlobo zezilwane ku-Appendix II ye-Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). I-US - njengawo wonke Amaqembu e-CITES (kuhlanganise nawo wonke Amaqembu e-ICCAT) - kuyodingeka ngasekupheleni kukaNovemba ukuze ibonise ukuthi ukuthunyelwa kwe-mako kwamanye amazwe kutholakala ezindaweni zokudoba ezisemthethweni, ezisimeme, futhi kakade ihola umhlaba wonke ekuthatheni izinyathelo zokwenza lokho.

“Izakhamuzi ezikhathazekile zingasiza ngokuzwakalisa ukweseka ubuholi obuqhubekayo base-US ekwamukelweni kweseluleko sesayensi nezindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokudoba oshaka,” kuqhuba uFordham. “Kumakos asengozini, akukho okubaluleke kakhulu njengamanje kunezinqumo ze-ICCAT zango-2019, kanye nokwesekwa kwe-US ngokuvinjelwa ososayensi abaluleka ngakho kubalulekile. Sekuyisikhathi noma sekhefu ngempela kulolu hlobo. "

Ukuvinjelwa kwe-ICCAT yokukhipha izimpiko zoshaka kuncike esilinganisweni esiyinkimbinkimbi sesisindo se-fin-to-body okunzima ukusiphoqelela. Ukudinga ukuthi oshaka bahlale befakwe amaphiko kuyindlela enokwethenjelwa kakhulu yokuvimbela ukudutshulwa. Iziphakamiso eziholwa yi-US "ezinamathiselwe" manje seziziqhenya ngosekelo oluvela kumaQembu e-ICCAT. Ukuphikiswa okuvela eJapan, nokho, kuvimbe ukuvumelana kuze kube manje.
