I-Australia ifaka izinzwa zekhwalithi yamanzi eGreat Barrier Reef

Uhulumeni wase-Australia ubeke izinzwa ezingxenyeni ze-Great Barrier Reef ukuze ziqophe ikhwalithi yamanzi.
I-Great Barrier Reef ihlanganisa indawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angaba ngu-344,000 ukusuka ogwini olusenyakatho-mpumalanga ye-Australia. Iqukethe amakhulu eziqhingi kanye nezinkulungwane zezakhiwo zemvelo ezibizwa ngokuthi ama-coral reef.
Izinzwa zilinganisa amazinga enhlabathi kanye nezinto zekhabhoni ezigeleza zisuka eMfuleni iFitzroy ziye eKeppel Bay eQueensland. Le ndawo itholakala engxenyeni eseningizimu yeGreat Barrier Reef. Lezi zinto zingalimaza impilo yasolwandle.
Lolu hlelo luphethwe yi-Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), inhlangano kahulumeni wase-Australia. Le nhlangano ithe lo msebenzi usebenzisa izinzwa kanye nedatha yesathelayithi ukukala izinguquko ekhwalithini yamanzi.
Ochwepheshe bathi izinga lemifula yase-Australia esogwini nasezweni lisengozini ngenxa yokushisa okwandayo, ukwanda kwamadolobha, ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kanye nokungcola.

U-Alex Held uphethe uhlelo. Utshele i-VOA ukuthi inhlabathi ingaba yingozi ezimpilweni zasolwandle ngoba ivimba ukukhanya kwelanga phansi kolwandle. Ukuntuleka kokukhanya kwelanga kungalimaza ukukhula kwezitshalo zasolwandle nezinye izinto eziphilayo. Inhlabathi iphinda ihlale phezu kwamadwala e-coral, okuthinta impilo yasolwandle lapho.
UHeld uthe kuzosetshenziswa izinzwa namasathelayithi ukukala ukusebenza kahle kwezinhlelo ezihlose ukunciphisa ukugeleza noma ukukhishwa kwendle yomfula olwandle.
UHeld uphawule ukuthi uhulumeni wase-Australia usebenzise izinhlelo eziningana ezihlose ukunciphisa umthelela wodaka ezimpilweni zasolwandle. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukuvumela izitshalo ukuba zikhule eceleni kwemifula kanye nezinye izindawo zamanzi ukuvimbela udaka ukungena.
Izazi zemvelo zixwayisa ngokuthi iGreat Barrier Reef ibhekene nezinsongo eziningi. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu, ukungcola kanye nokugeleza kwamanzi kwezolimo. Leli dwala lifinyelela cishe amakhilomitha angu-2,300 futhi belilokhu lisohlwini lweGugu Lomhlaba lweZizwe Ezihlangene kusukela ngo-1981.
Ukufudukela emadolobheni inqubo lapho abantu abaningi beshiya izindawo zasemakhaya bezohlala emadolobheni.
