IVeki yoKwazisa ngeCoral Reef

Nangona ndingazange ndihlale esiqithini, entliziyweni ndiyintombazana kwaye bendisoloko ndinjalo. Andizange ndamkele ingqele nekhephu kwaye ndiyathanda ukufukama kwiinyanga zasebusika. Abahlobo bam bawazi ngakumbi lo mkhwa, bahlala bendibuza ukuba "ngaba uyafuna ukucwangcisa uhambo lwangaphandle lomhla othile, okanye uza kube ulala phantsi ngelo xesha?" Ndiyakuthanda ukusebenza ngaphandle, kodwa xa ubusika bubetha, uya kundifumana ndihleli endlini ndisitya ukutya okuthuthuzelayo ndisongelwe ngengubo yam eshushu ndibukele iimuvi zeholide ezishibhileyo. Ndiyazi, ndiyazi, akukho ngqiqweni ukuba ndihlala kwindawo evalelwe umhlaba kunye nobusika obunekhephu, kodwa xa ndihamba, ndiqinisekisa ukuba ndihlala ndikhetha indawo efudumeleyo yokuya!

Zininzi kakhulu izibonelelo zokuphuma ngaphandle ekukhanyeni kwelanga, nokuba kulapha eColorado okanye kwindawo eshushu yokusingwa. Ukukhanya kwelanga kunokuba nemiphumo emihle kwimpilo yengqondo. Ukukhanya kwelanga kubalulekile ukuvelisa ivithamin D kwaye kubangele ukukhutshwa kwe-serotonin kwaye badlala indima ebalulekileyo ekusebenzeni kwengqondo kunye nokulawula imo. Amanqanaba aphantsi evithamini D adityaniswa nomngcipheko owongeziweyo wokudakumba kunye nezinye iingxaki zempilo yengqondo. I-Serotonin inceda ukulawula isimo sengqondo, ukuthanda ukutya, kunye nokulala, yiyo loo nto ndihlala ndiqala usuku lwam ngokuhamba ngaphandle. Iyandinceda ndivuke kwaye ndiqale usuku lwam ndikwimo elungileyo!

Enye yezinto endizithandayo endimele ndiyenze xa ndifuna i-adventure yesiqithi kukuntywila kwiingqaqa zekorale. Ubuhle obuchukumisayo kunye neentlobo-ntlobo zezinto eziphilayo ezingaqhelekanga zeingqaqa zekorale ziyandichukumisa yaye zisoloko zindigcina ndibuya. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba kangaphi ndihamba nge-snorkeling okanye ukuba zininzi kangakanani iindawo ezahlukeneyo endizityelelayo, umlingo uhlala ukhona kwiingqaqa zekorale. Ezi zinto zibalulekileyo ezihlala elwandle azibonisi nje imibala eqaqambileyo kodwa zikwabonelela ngekhaya lentaphane yezinto zaselwandle. Nangona iingqaqa zekorale zigquma ngaphantsi kwe-0.1% yolwandle, ngaphezu kwe-25% yeentlobo zolwandle zihlala kwiingqaqa zekorale. Nangona kunjalo, ukusukela ngeminyaka yee-1950, iingqaqa zekorale ziye zajongana nemingeni engazange ibonwe ngaphambili ngenxa yokutshintsha kwemozulu, ungcoliseko, kunye nokuloba ngokugqithisileyo, okusongela ubukho bazo. Uninzi lwezoyikiso kwiingqaqa zekorale zibangelwa ngabantu.

Nazi ezinye iinyani ezothusayo malunga nokuhla kwee-coral reefs:

• Ukuya kuthi ga kwisiqingatha seengqaqa zekorale zehlabathi sele zilahlekile okanye zonakaliswe kakhulu kwaye ukwehla kuqhubeka ngesantya esothusayo.
• Iingqaqa zekorale ziyalahleka okanye zonakaliswe ngokuphindwe kabini kumlinganiselo wamahlathi emvula.
• Iingcali zenzululwazi ziqikelela ukuba zonke iikorale ziya kusongelwa ngo-2050 kwaye i-75% iya kujongana namanqanaba aphezulu okusongela.
• Ngaphandle kokuba senza konke okusemandleni ukunciphisa ubushushu bufikelele kwi-1.5 ngokukaCelsius, siya kuphulukana ne-99% yeingqaqa zekorale zehlabathi.
• Ukuba iimeko zangoku ziyaqhubeka, zonke iingqaqa zekorale zinokuphela ngo-2070.

Kodwa kuninzi esinokukwenza ukucothisa ukutshintsha kwemozulu kunye nokufudumala kweelwandle zethu! Nangona sihlala iikhilomitha ezininzi kude nolwandle, kukho izinto ezahlukahlukeneyo esinokuzenza ukuze sigcine iingqaqa zekorale zisempilweni. Makhe siphonononge iindlela esinokuba negalelo ngazo ekugcinweni kwezi zinto zigqwethekileyo zangaphantsi kwamanzi:

Inkxaso yemihla ngemihla:

• Thenga ukutya kwaselwandle okugcinwe ngokuzinzileyo (sebenzisa gov ukufumana amashishini alungele iikorale).
• Ukonga amanzi: amanzi owasebenzisayo mancinci, ayancipha ukubaleka kunye namanzi amdaka aza kubuyela elwandle.
• Ukuba awuhlali kufuphi nonxweme, zibandakanye ekukhuseleni amachibi asekuhlaleni, imithombo yamanzi, amadama, njl.
• Ukuphakamisa ulwazi ngokusasaza ukubaluleka kweengqaqa zekorale kunye nezoyikiso esizibeka kuzo.
• Ekubeni utshintsho lwemozulu sesinye sezona zisongelo ziphambili kwi-coral reef, sebenzisa iibhalbhu zokukhanya ezonga amandla kunye nezixhobo zombane ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi ye-greenhouse. Khetha imithombo yamandla ahlaziyekayo kwaye unciphise ukuthembela kwakho kumafutha efosili.
• Ukuphelisa okanye ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kweeplastiki ezisetyenziselwa enye. Iiplastiki zinokuphelela elwandle, zibembise ubomi baselwandle kwaye zikhuphe imichiza eyingozi kulwandle lwethu.
• Nciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwezichumisi. Ukusetyenziswa kakhulu kwezichumisi kwingca kuwonakalisa umgangatho wamanzi kuba izondlo (nitrogen kunye ne phosphorus) ezisuka kwisichumiso zikhukuliseka zingene emanzini kwaye zingaphelela elwandle. Izakhamzimba ezisuka kwisichumiso esigqithisileyo zonyusa ukukhula kwe-algae nto leyo ethintela ukukhanya kwelanga kwiikorali-oku kubangela ukuqaqamba kwe-coral, okunokubulala.

Ukuba undwendwela i-coral reefs:

• Nxiba i-sunscreen ehambelana ne-reef !! Imichiza evela kwi-sunscreen eqhelekileyo iya kubulala iingqaqa zekorale kunye nobomi baselwandle obuhlala apho. Okungcono nangakumbi, nxiba iihempe ezinemikhono emide okanye iigada ezikhusela irhashalala ukunqanda ukutshiswa lilanga ukunqanda imfuneko yokuzikhusela elangeni.
• Ukuba urhubuluza, untywila, uqubha, okanye ukhwele isikhephe kufutshane neengqaqa zekorale, musa ukubamba ikorale, musa ukuma kuyo, musa ukuyithabatha, kwaye musa ukumisa iankile.
• Xhasa abaqhubi bezokhenketho eco-friendly xa ucwangcisa uhambo lwakho.
• Ivolontiya ukucoca ulwandle lwasekuhlaleni okanye ulwalwa.

Ukukhusela izixhobo ze-coral kufuna umgudu odibeneyo kwaye wonke umntu unokwenza impembelelo ebalulekileyo. Ngokwazisa, ukwamkela izenzo ezinoxanduva, ukunciphisa ukungcoliseka kwendalo, kunye nokukhuthaza amaphulo okulungelelana nolwalwa, sinokuba ngabagadi bolwandle. Masizibophelele ekulondolozeni le mizobo yendalo imangalisayo, siqinisekisa ukusinda kwazo kunye neengenelo ezixabisekileyo ezizibonelela kwisijikelezi-langa sethu. Sikunye, sinokukhusela ikamva eliqaqambileyo nelonwabisayo leengqaqa zekorale kunye nentaphane yezilwanyana ezizibiza ngokuba zikhaya.
