Khumbula Izinsalela Zomfula

Lokhu kuyingxenye yochungechunge olunezingxenye ezintathu mayelana nokuphuthuma kokuvikela iMallows Bay.

Ukuhlala untanta phakathi nokushintsha kwamagagasi kubaluleke kakhulu njengoba kwenzeka eminyakeni engu-90 edlule ukuphahlazeka kwemikhumbi eMallows Bay. Amamayela angamashumi amathathu eningizimu yeWashington, DC eduze nomfula i-Potomac, imikhumbi emikhulu, yakudala eyenziwe ngokhuni neyensimbi eyake yasebenzela i-US Shipping Board Fleet, manje esebenzela imvelo. I-Sunken futhi yashiswa othulini lwe-Chesapeake Bay, "i-Ghost Fleet" yase-Mallows Bay - iqoqo lemikhumbi engaba ngu-100 kuya kwangu-200 kusukela ku-Revolutionary kanye neMpi Yezwe Yokuqala - ishintshile kusukela lapho yaba indawo yomlando yezilwane zasendle ezihlukile zesifunda.¹

I-Mallows Bay kanye nenethiwekhi ye-Potomac River trail exhunyiwe iheha izivakashi eziningi ngezizathu eziningi. Ukudoba okudumile, izikebhe zokungcebeleka, ukuxoxa izindaba kanye nezinhlelo zokufundisa konke kuncike empilweni yaseMallows Bay. Lesi siqephu esiyingqayizivele samanzi aseMaryland sibonisa umlando weChesapeake Bay. Ngo-1917, uMongameli uWoodrow Wilson wayala ukuba kwakhiwe imikhumbi yempi engu-1,000 18 phakathi nezinyanga ezingu-1918. Cishe ingxenye eyodwa kuphela eyahamba ngomkhumbi i-Atlantic ngaphambi kokuba iJalimane icele umaluju ngo-XNUMX ishiya izikebhe ezisele, ezingasetshenzisiwe zingenalutho.² Izazi-mlando zasolwandle ziphinde zigcizelele ukuxhumana kwayo nomlando wezigqila zase-Maryland zase-Afrika zaseMelika phakathi neMpi Yombango kanye nokuba khona kokuxhumana kwemivubukulo namasiko esizweni sasePiscataway-Conoy.³ Uma iqokwa njengeNational Marine Sanctuary esemthethweni yi-NOAA, i-Mallows Bay-Potomac River izovikela izinsiza zemvelo zoMfula kanye nemvelo ebuthakathaka, ehlukahlukene yemvelo phakathi kwezinsalela ezinkulu.

Sinethuba lokuqinisekisa ukuthi iMallows Bay ithola ukuhlonishwa kanjalo nokuvikelwa ekudingayo ukuze iphumelele ezizukulwaneni ezizayo. Lawa amaviki okugcina okuzwakalisa ukwesekwa kwakho nokuphawula kwakho ku-NOAA ngokugcina iqoqo elikhulu kunawo wonke lokuphahlazeka komkhumbi eNtshonalanga Nenkabazwe kanye nezinhlobonhlobo zayo ezihambisana nayo.⁴ Iziphakamiso ezine zizodingidwa mayelana nokuthi izovikelwa kanjani iMallows Bay. Izinhlelo zisukela ku-zero, ukuya ekuhlanganiseni okugcwele kwesifunda okunwetshwa ngamamayela-skwele ayi-100.⁵ I-Ocean Foundation iyaziqhenya ngokusekela i-Chesapeake Conservancy eduze ne-Chesapeake & Coastal Service kanye noMnyango Wezemvelo waseMaryland kanye nezinkulungwane zabasekeli nezivakashi zaseMallows Bay Park ekutholeni isikhundla esisemthethweni se-NOAA sale ndawo emangalisayo. Akungabazeki ukuthi kungenxa yemizamo yenethiwekhi eyahlukene futhi eyandisiwe kanye nobudlelwano basekhaya lapho singamela futhi silondoloze iMallow's Bay.;

Ungabuka iziphakamiso kanye hambisa ukuphawula kwakho ukuze uthole ukwesekwa ngumphakathi lapha.
