Ukuphatha kukaTrump Kuphika Ukuvikelwa KoMthetho Wezilwane Ezisengozini Ye-Pacific Bluefin Tuna

Ngemva Kokuncipha Kwamaphesenti angu-97, Izilwane Zezilwane Zibhekana Nokuqothulwa Ngaphandle Kosizo

I-SAN FRANCISCO- Ukuphatha kukaTrump namuhla wenqaba isicelo ukuvikela i-Pacific bluefin tuna esengozini ngaphansi koMthetho Wezilwane Ezisengozini. Lesi silwane esizingelayo esinamandla, esikhokhela amanani aphakeme ezindalini zezinhlanzi eJapane, siye sadotshwa ngokweqile safinyelela ngaphansi kwamaphesenti amathathu enani laso elingokomlando. Nakuba iNational Marine Fisheries Service kumenyezelwe ngo-Okthoba 2016 ukuthi ibicabanga ukufaka kuhlu i-Pacific bluefin, manje isiphethe ngokuthi ukuvikela akuqiniseki. 

“Ukube imali yabaphathi bezokudoba nezikhulu zikahulumeni ibiboshelwe esimweni salesi sidalwa esimangalisayo, bebeyobe benze okufanele,” kusho uCarl Safina, umongameli weSafina Centre nososayensi nombhali osebenze ukuze adonse ukunaka komphakathi. osizini lwe-bluefin tuna. 

I-Japan, i-South Korea, i-Mexico, i-United States namanye amazwe ahlulekile ukunciphisa ukudoba ngokwanele ukuze kuvikelwe lolu hlobo lwezilwane ezidumile, into ewubukhazikhazi kumamenyu e-sushi.

I-Endangered Species Act iyasebenza, kodwa hhayi lapho abaphathi bakaTrump benganaki usizi lwezilwane ezidinga usizo,” kusho uCatherine Kilduff, ummeli weCenter for Biological Diversity. “Lesi sinqumo esidumazayo sikwenza kubaluleke kakhulu kubathengi kanye nezindawo zokudlela i-boycott bluefin kuze kube yilapho uhlobo lululama.”  

NgoJuni 2016 abafakisicelo bacela ukuthi Isevisi Yezokudoba ivikele i-Pacific bluefin tuna njengesengozini. Umfelandawonye uhlanganisa iCentre for Biological Diversity, The Ocean Foundation, Earthjustice, Centre for Food Safety, Defenders of Wildlife, Greenpeace, Mission Blue, Recirculating Farms Coalition, The Safina Center, SandyHook SeaLife Foundation, Sierra Club, Turtle Island Restoration Network kanye neWildEarth.

Kunezigaba ezimbalwa nje zabantu abadala zePacific bluefin tuna, futhi lezi zizoshabalala maduzane ngenxa yokuguga. Ngaphandle kwezinhlanzi ezincane ezizovuthwa esitokweni sokuzalela ukuze zithathe indawo yabantu abadala asebekhulile, ikusasa libi ngePacific bluefin ngaphandle kwalapho kuthathwa izinyathelo ezisheshayo zokumisa lokhu kuncipha.

“Esikhundleni sokugubha i-Pacific bluefin tuna ngendima yayo emangalisayo nebalulekile olwandle, abantu ngokudabukisayo bayidoba ize iyoshabalala ukuze bayibeke esitsheni sakusihlwa,” kusho uBrett Garling we-Mission Blue. “Kuyadabukisa kakhulu ukuthi lesi simila se-gastro-fetish siphuca ulwandle olunye lwezinhlobo zalo ezivelele kakhulu. Isikhathi manje sokuvuka futhi siqaphele ukuthi i-tuna ibaluleke kakhulu ukubhukuda olwandle kunesoso yesoya epuletini.”

I-Center for Biological Diversity iyinhlangano kazwelonke, engenzi nzuzo yokongiwa kwemvelo enamalungu angaphezu kwesigidi esi-1.3 nezishoshovu eziku-inthanethi ezizinikele ekuvikeleni izilwane ezisengozini nezindawo zasendle.
