Hōʻike ka koholā make i nā hewa nui me ka lawaiʻa ʻaʻe heʻe ma False Bay

Ua ʻike ʻia kekahi kohola a Bryde he 12 mika i make ma False Bay kokoke i Cape Town i ka pule i hala ma hope o ka hoʻopili ʻia ʻana i nā kaula pahele heʻe. Ua hoʻohana ʻia nā pahele e kahi hui hoʻokahi mai ka makahiki 1998, i manaʻo ʻia ma lalo o kahi ʻae "exploratory permit".

ʻIke nā lālā o ka lehulehu i ke koholā paʻa - kahi kāne makua kāne ma kahi o ka ʻumi mau makahiki - ma kahi o ʻelua mau kilomita ma waho o ka ʻāina mai Miller's Point, kahi kahua hoʻokele waʻa ma waena o ka Mountain Protected Area o ka Mountain Mountain Park.

Ua ʻoki kahi kime mai ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Cape Town ma luna o kahi moku inflatable i ke koholā make me ka ʻole o nā kaula a huki i ke kino make ʻeono tonona i ka paheʻe no ka lawe ʻia ʻana e ke kalaka i ka ʻāina pae ʻāina ʻo Visserhoek ma ka ʻākau o Melkbos, kahi i kanu ʻia ai.

Ua kamaʻilio nā mea ʻike ma ka paheʻe e pili ana i ke kino o ka kohola i lacerated hohonu, e hōʻike ana i nā hōʻailona o ka hoʻāʻo ʻeha a makehewa hoʻi e hoʻokuʻu iā ia iho mai nā kaula nylon a ʻelima mau kenimika ka mānoanoa. Ua hele a waliwali ke alelo o ke koholā.

ʻO ke koholā a Bryde i make (i kapa ʻia ʻo "Brooders") ʻo ke ono ia o ke koholā ma False Bay i make i ka make ʻana i ke kaula lawaiʻa ʻaʻe heʻe i loko o nā makahiki ʻehā i hala aku nei, i ʻōlelo ʻia e kahi luna o ke Kaona o Cape Town e hana nei i ka hoʻokele kahakai nāna i noi e noho inoa ʻole. .

"Ma ka liʻiliʻi he ʻewalu kohola i hihia, a ʻeono i make," i wehewehe ai ka luna o ke kūlanakauhale. "Akā, hoʻowahāwahā ʻia nā helu ʻelua, ʻoiai ʻaʻole maopopo iā mākou nā hihia āpau."

I kekahi mau lā ma mua, i ka Pōʻaono 8 o Iune, ua hoʻokuʻu nā mea manawaleʻa i kahi koholā ʻōpio humpback ʻōpio mai nā kaula o ka heʻe e heʻe ai, a ma kahi kokoke hoʻi i ka Wahi a Miller.

"Ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi keiki bale kohola ʻo Humpback i hoʻopili ʻia i ke kaula a puni kona kino a me nā wili a heleuma i ka moe kai," wahi a Craig Lambinon mai SAWDN. "Aia he koholā nui aʻe i manaʻo ʻia he lālā ʻohana o ka bipi keiki."

ʻO ka make ʻana o ka kohola ʻo Bryde a me ka hihia o ka humpback i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kau o ke koholā o Cape, ke ʻike ʻia nā koholā he nui i nā wai o Cape i ka wā hoʻoilo a me ka puna. Hāʻawi nā kūlanakauhale a me nā kaona e like me Cape Town, Hermanus a me Plettenberg Bay i ka nānā ʻana i nā kohola i hoʻokumu ʻia ma luna o ka moku. ʻO nā laha like ʻole i ʻike maka ʻia e pili ana me nā ʻĀkau Hema, Humpback a me Bryde.

Hoʻokahi wale nō ʻoihana i hana i nā lawaiʻa lawaiʻa heʻe mai ka makahiki 1998 ma lalo o kahi palapala i kapa ʻia ʻo "exploratory permit", i hāʻawi ʻia e ka ʻOihana Mahiai, Nāhelehele a me nā lawaiʻa.

Ua wehewehe ka luna o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo ke kumu o ka ʻae exploratory e hoʻokumu ʻia ma o ka noiʻi ʻepekema inā he kūpaʻa ka lawaiʻa heʻe.

"Akā i ko mākou ʻike, ʻaʻole i mālama ʻia kekahi ʻepekema ʻepekema a hoʻomau ka hana a ka ʻoihana, e hopu ana i nā heʻe he mau tausani heita me ka ʻole o ka loiloi hoʻomau. A ke hoʻomau nei ka make ʻana o nā koholā. He hoʻokolohua maikaʻi ʻole ia, a pono e paʻa i ka lawaiʻa i ka wā hiki loa. ”

Wahi a nā kūlana ʻae, ʻae ʻia ka ʻoihana e hana ma nā pūnaewele he nui ma False Bay, e waiho ana he mau haneli heʻe haneli ma lalo o ke kai ma nā laina i hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia ma waena o ʻelima a me 20 mau kilomita.

ʻO nā mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "ipu hao" - a i ʻole nā ​​pahele - moe i ka papakū, a pili ʻia ma o nā kaulahao kaumaha a me nā kaula alakaʻi. Hiki i kēia mau mea ke hoʻopili i nā koholā, e paʻa ana nā holoholona i lalo o ka ʻili, a make loa hoʻi iā lākou.

Mai ka 1998 ua hoʻoneʻe ka hui i 50 mau ton o ka heʻe i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma False Bay. Ua manaʻo ʻia nā pahele he "ʻoluʻolu kūlohelohe", no ka mea, ua manaʻo ʻia he haʻahaʻa ka hopu ʻana. Akā no kekahi mau makahiki he nui ka hihia a me ka make ʻana o nā koholā e pili ana i ka pono a me ka hoʻokele waiwai o ka ʻoihana.

Aia ka mea paʻi kiʻi a me ka mea hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Craig Foster ma ka paheʻe o Mill's Point i ka wā i lawe ʻia aku ai ke kohola make i uka. No ka ʻumi mau makahiki ua luʻu ʻo ia ma aneane i kēlā me kēia lā ma False Bay, e kākau nei i ke ola kai ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka Sea Change Project, kahi hui waiwai ʻole i hui pū ʻia me nā loea biology kai mai ke Kulanui o Cape Town.

"No ke aha e ʻae ʻia ai kēia ʻoihana liʻiliʻi e pakele me kēia? Hoʻohana ia i kekahi mau kānaka wale nō. ʻO False Bay kekahi o nā kikowaena meaola o ʻApelika Hema, a ʻaʻohe mea e ʻike i ka hopena o ka lawaiʻa lawaiʻa i nā ʻano kai ʻē aʻe. ”

"ʻAʻole kūpono i ka lehulehu ke hoʻokokoke i kahi koholā i loko o 300 mau mika, a makaʻu i ka uku o ka paʻahao a i ʻole nā ​​haneli tausani mau rand," wahi a Foster. “Eia naʻe ke kuleana nui o kahi ʻoihana lawaiʻa no ka pepehi ʻana i nā koholā, a loaʻa ʻole ka uku a hoʻokuʻu ʻia paha? ʻAʻohe kumu iki. ”

ʻO nā kumukūʻai kālā o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā koholā paʻa, a me ka hoʻolei ʻana i nā koholā make, mea nui, ʻaʻole naʻe kuleana ka ʻoihana.

"Kūpono ke kālā, ka manawa a me ka hana e hoʻokaʻawale i ke kohola, huki i uka, kalaka iā ia i kahi pae ʻāina, a kanu iā ia," wehewehe a ka luna o ke kūlanakauhale. “ʻAʻole uku ka ʻoihana i kēia pila, uku ke kūlanakauhale a me nā ratepayers. Ke kōkua maikaʻi nei nā kamaʻāina i ka luku ʻana i nā koholā ʻoiai e ʻae ʻia ka ʻoihana e lawaiʻa i nā heʻe he mau tausani heʻe ma False Bay ma nā koina kaiāulu, a me nā hoʻokele waiwai.

“ʻAʻole ia me he mea lā ke hoʻohana nei kēia ʻoihana i mau haneli mau poʻe kūloko, a i ʻole ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka meaʻai i nā mākeke kūloko. Kau ʻia ka heʻe a pau i ka hau a hoʻolilo ʻia i nā ʻāina ʻAsia. Ke pōmaikaʻi nei kahi ʻoihana lawaiʻa liʻiliʻi ʻoiai ke kiʻi kūwaho o Cape Town ma ke ʻano he wahi huakaʻi i ulana nui ʻia e ka make ʻana o nā koholā. ”
