Izenzo Zomusa Wolwandle Ezilingana Nomkhomo

UDkt. Steven Swartz ubuyile enkathini eyimpumelelo yocwaningo lomkhomo ompunga ebusika e-Laguna San Ignacio, e-Baja California futhi wabelane ngalokho okwenzeka eqenjini lakhe kulobu busika okuvuza “izenzo ezingahleliwe zomusa wolwandle” nokukhuthaza Ukuqwashisa nge "Blue Marble". njengengxenye ye ILaguna San Ignacio Uhlelo lweSayensi Yezemvelo's Imizamo yokufinyelela.

Ngonyaka wesibili olandelanayo i-Laguna San Ignacio isingathe irekhodi eliphezulu lemikhomo empunga (emidala engama-350 esiqongweni sesizini), futhi irekhoda izinombolo zamapheya kamama namathole, abebukeka ephile saka, okuqinisa idolo kusukela ezikhathini ezinzima. ngasekupheleni kwawo-1990 nasekuqaleni kwawo-2000 lapho ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu emhlabeni wonke kwakuphazamisa ukutholakala kokudla kwemikhomo empunga e-Arctic. Konke lokhu kusikisela ukuthi imikhomo ithola indawo evikelekile yasolwandle i-Laguna San Ignacio njengendawo ehlangene yasebusika enethezekile nendawo yokuzalanisa, ngaleyo ndlela ifinyelela imigomo nomsebenzi we-Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve yaseMexico, okuyingxenye yayo leli chibi.

Njengengxenye yokuxhumana kwethu nomphakathi wendawo wezokuvakasha kwemvelo kanye nezivakashi ezibuka imikhomo, sethule ama-Blue Marbles angu-200+ kubabukeli bemikhomo abavela kuwo wonke umhlaba, kwabasebenza nge-eco-tourism, nakubafundi bezikole zamabanga aphezulu zasendaweni. Sabatshela ukuthi ngokuthatha isikhathi sabo nezindleko zabo ukuvakashela e-Laguna San Ignacio ukuze bazizwele futhi bafunde ngemikhomo nezinye izilwane zasolwandle ezibiza lesi simiso semvelo esiyingqayizivele ikhaya labo, banikeze inani lezomnotho futhi (endabeni yabasebenzi be-ecotourism nabafundi. ) insiza yezemfundo esekela futhi ithethelele ukugcinwa kwalesi simiso sezinto eziphilayo nendawo yazo ezungezile njengendawo evikelekile yezilwane zasendle kunokuba siyenze isizinda sikasawoti wezimboni, imayini ye-phosphate, noma enye inhlangano engavumelani nokongiwa kwemvelo. Futhi, lokho ngokombono wethu bekuyi-“Random Act of Ocean Kindness” efanelwe i-Blue Marble. Sakwenza kwacaca ukuthi babengabagadi be-Blue Marbles yabo, futhi babenomthwalo wemfanelo wokuwadlulisela kwabanye ukuthi ngokwahlulela kwabo benze ezinye “Izenzo Ezingahleliwe Zomusa Wasolwandle.”

Kodwa asigcinanga lapho… I-Laguna San Ignacio idume “Ngemikhomo Enobungane” noma “i-Las Ballenas Misteriosas.” Kusukela ngawo-1970, eminye imikhomo empunga yasendle, ekhululekile iye yenza umkhuba wokubhukuda ize iyofika ezikebheni ezibuka imikhomo ukuze ihlangane futhi ibingelele abagibeli, ivumela umbukeli womkhomo ukuba abaphulule futhi abahlikihle ekhanda. Labo abahlangana ne-gray whale eduze futhi siqu ngale ndlela baye bathinteka ngobuqotho, futhi bafika nokwazisa okuthuthukisiwe kwemikhomo, nolwandle. Eminyakeni engu-30+ lesi senzakalo saqhubeka, imikhomo iye yahlaba umxhwele izinkulungwane zezivakashi ezingabantu eLaguna San Ignacio, futhi ngokwenza kanjalo ziye zakhuthaza ukulondolozwa nokuvikelwa kwemikhomo, futhi mhlawumbe okubaluleke nakakhulu, ukulondolozwa kwe-ecosystem ye-Laguna San Ignacio kanye nemvelo. izindawo zasolwandle ezihlukile ezifanayo ezivikelwe emhlabeni wonke.

Ngakho-ke, ekuhloleni kwethu, imikhomo empunga iye yenza “Izenzo Ezingahleliwe Zomusa Wasolwandle” ngezinkulungwane. Ngakho-ke, siklomelise “Amamabula Aluhlaza” imikhomo empunga yaseLaguna San Ignacio, njengophawu lokuzibophezela kwabo ekukhuthazeni abantu ukuthi bakuthathele phezulu ukulondolozwa kwasolwandle futhi bakhuthaze ukongiwa kolwandle emhlabeni wonke.
