ʻO nā kiʻekiʻe ʻike ʻole o ka limu sargassum i holoi ʻia ma nā kahakai Karipiano i ka makahiki 2018 ka hopena i nā kumukūʻai hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻo US $ 120 miliona, e like me ke Kuhina o Tourism and Co-Chair o ka Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Center (GTRCM), Hon. Edmund Bartlett.
Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana i ke kumu kūʻai, ua nui ka hopohopo o ka poʻe e pili ana i ka mākaʻikaʻi e pili ana i ke ʻano maikaʻi ʻole o ka limu, nā hoʻopiʻi malihini a me ka hiki ke hōʻino ʻia ka inoa, wahi a ke Kuhina Kaapuni.
"Ma ke ʻano he poʻe paʻa i ka ʻāpana ʻike mākou i ka waiwai ʻole o ka mākaʻikaʻi i nā ʻoihana Karipiano paʻa a pōmaikaʻi. ʻO ka mākaʻikaʻi ka mea nui loa o ka hoʻokele waiwai hoʻomau i ka ʻāina, "wahi a Kuhina Bartlett i ka wehe ʻana i nā ʻōlelo ma ka GTRCM Roundtable ma Sargassum i kēia lā (Iulai 26) ma ke Keʻena Poʻokela o ke Kulanui o West Indies, Mona.
ʻO ka Caribbean ka ʻāina i hilinaʻi nui ʻia i ka mākaʻikaʻi o ka honua, kahi ʻo ia ka ʻāpana waiwai nui ma 16 mai 18 mau mokuʻāina Caribbean a kākoʻo kokoke i 3 miliona mau hana.
Ma ka ʻike ʻana i nā wanana o ka ulu ʻana o 12% o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hiki mai ana i ka ʻāina no 2019, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kuhina Bartlett, "ʻOiai ʻo kēia mau hōʻailona hoʻohiki a me kāna mau mōʻaukala (ka mākaʻikaʻi), ʻike maopopo mākou he palupalu loa ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi a hiki i nā mea hoʻopilikia. ʻO nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala iho nei ua ʻike i ka ulu ʻana o nā mea hoʻoweliweli e kū nei i ka ʻāpana. Ua lilo kēia mau mea hoʻoweliweli i ʻike ʻole ʻia a ʻoi aku ka pōʻino i ko lākou hopena a ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka mālama ʻana. "
ʻO Sargassum kekahi mea hoʻoweliweli. No laila, ua ʻike ka GTRCM i ka pono wikiwiki e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka hui ʻana o nā mākaʻikaʻi kūloko a me nā mea e pili ana i ke kaiapuni e kaʻana like i nā manaʻo, nā hana maikaʻi loa a me nā hoʻonā kūpono i nā hopena ʻino sargassum i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻoihana aupuni a me ka ʻāina.
ʻO Professor Lloyd Waller (hema), Luna Hoʻokele, Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Center (GTRCM); Polofesa Mona Webber, Luna Hoʻokele, Center for Marine Sciences and Discovery Bay Marine Laboratory; a me ke Kuhina o ka Makaikai a me GTRCM Co-Chair, Hon. Kūkākūkā ʻo Edmund Bartlett (ʻākau) i ka hoʻoweliweli sargassum i ka mākaʻikaʻi Karipiano i ka wā o ka GTRCM Roundtable ma Sargassum ma ke Kulanui o West Indies Region Headquarters, Mona.
Mai ka makahiki 2011, ua hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o nā moena limu mānoanoa i mea e hoʻohua ai i ke kāʻei 8850-kilomita ka lōʻihi (ke kaupaona ʻana he 20 miliona metric tons) i kapa ʻia ʻo Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt mai ʻApelika Komohana a hiki i ke Kai Caribbean a me ke Kaiwa o Mexico. Manaʻo ka poʻe ʻepekema ʻo kēia pahū algal i ka Moana ʻAkelanika a me ke Kai Karipiana hiki ke hōʻike i kahi maʻamau hou.
Ua manaʻo ʻia ka mea sargassum e alakaʻi ʻia e ka hui ʻana o nā mea i hana ʻia e ke kanaka a me nā mea kūlohelohe, me ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau a me ka piʻi ʻana o ka mahana o ke kai; ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā makani ʻāpana a me nā ʻano o ke au moana; a me ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā meaʻai mai nā kahawai, nā mea ʻai a me nā mea hoʻomomona kumu.
Ma ke kai ākea, hāʻawi ka sargassum i nā wahi koʻikoʻi no ke ola kai a me nā manu. Eia nō naʻe, i ka wā e hoʻopiha ai i nā kahakai, popopo a pilau, a lilo ia i mea pōʻino a me ka hoʻokele waiwai. Ua hāʻule ka mākaʻikaʻi ma Mexico's Caribbean Coast ma kahi o 35% i ka makahiki 2018 ma muli o ka holoi ʻana i ka sargassum ma ke kahakai he 480 mau kilomita ka lōʻihi o nā kahakai maikaʻi ʻole.
Ua haʻi ʻo Kuhina Bartlett i nā poʻe komo kūloko a me nā ʻāina ʻē i ka GTRCM Roundtable e koi koke ʻia kahi pane kūloko ma ka pae politika a me ka ʻenehana e hoʻoponopono i kēia pilikia sargassum e ulu wikiwiki nei.
"ʻO ka hakakā maikaʻi ʻana o kēia hoʻoweliweli e koi i nā aupuni ʻē aʻe e hui pū e hana i ka noiʻi, e hoʻēmi i nā mea i hāʻawi ʻia, e ʻike i nā hana maikaʻi loa o ka honua i nā hoʻolālā hoʻololi a hoʻomohala i kahi hoʻolālā ʻepekema piha e hoʻokumu i nā ala maikaʻi loa e hōʻiliʻili i ka sargassum ma ke ākea. kai me ka hoʻopōʻino ʻole i ka kaiaola," wahi a ke Kuhina Hoʻokama.
