I-Australia Ifaka Izinzwa Zekhwalithi Yamanzi eGreat Barrier Reef

Uhulumeni wase-Australia ubeke izinzwa ezingxenyeni ze-Great Barrier Reef emzamweni wokurekhoda ikhwalithi yamanzi.

I-Great Barrier Reef ihlanganisa indawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angu-344,000 ogwini olusenyakatho-mpumalanga ye-Australia. Iqukethe amakhulu eziqhingi kanye nezinkulungwane zezakhiwo zemvelo, ezaziwa ngokuthi ama-reef.

Izinzwa zilinganisa amazinga enhlabathi nezinto zekhabhoni ezigeleza zisuka eMfuleni iFitzroy ziye eKeppel Bay esifundazweni saseQueensland. Le ndawo itholakala engxenyeni eseningizimu yeGreat Barrier Reef. Izinto ezinjalo zingalimaza impilo yasolwandle.

Inhlangano kahulumeni wase-Australia i-Commonwealth Scientific iqhuba lolu hlelo. Le nhlangano ithi lo mzamo usebenzisa izinzwa kanye nedatha yesathelayithi ukukala izinguquko ekhwalithini yamanzi.

Ochwepheshe bathi ikhwalithi yemigwaqo yamanzi yase-Australia esogwini nasezweni isongelwa amazinga okushisa afudumele, ukwanda kwamadolobha, ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kanye nokungcola.

U-Alex Held uhola lolu hlelo. Utshele i-VOA ukuthi inhlabathi ingaba yingozi empilweni yasolwandle ngoba ingavimba ukukhanya kwelanga phansi kolwandle. Ukuntuleka kokukhanya kwelanga kungalimaza ukukhula kwezitshalo zasolwandle nezinye izinto eziphilayo. Inhlabathi ingase ihlale naseziqongweni zamatshe e-coral, ithinte nokuphila kwasolwandle lapho.

UHeld uthe izinzwa namasathelayithi kuzosetshenziswa ukukala ukusebenza kahle kwezinhlelo ezenzelwe ukunciphisa ukugeleza, noma ukugeleza, kwenhlabathi yomfula olwandle.

UHeld waphawula ukuthi uhulumeni wase-Australia usevele usebenzisa uchungechunge lwezinhlelo ezihlose ukunciphisa imiphumela yenhlabathi ezimpilweni zasolwandle. Lokhu kuhlanganisa imizamo yokugcina izitshalo zikhula eceleni kwemifula kanye nezinye izindawo zamanzi ukusiza ukugcina inhlabathi ingangeni.

Izazi zemvelo zixwayise ngokuthi iGreat Barrier Reef ibhekene nezinsongo eziningana. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu, ukungcola kanye nokugeleza kwamanzi kwemikhiqizo yezolimo. Leli dwala - elihamba amakhilomitha angaba ngu-2,300 - belilokhu lisohlwini lweGugu Lomhlaba lweZizwe Ezihlangene kusukela ngo-1981.

Sinezinhlobo ezahlukene zezinzwa zekhwalithi yamanzi, ezisetshenziswa kabanzi embonini, ekufuyweni kwezinhlanzi, ekuvikelweni kwemvelo nakweminye imikhakha.
