I-Australia ibeka iiSensors zoMgangatho waManzi kwi-Great Barrier Reef

Urhulumente waseOstreliya ubeke izixhobo zoluvo kwiindawo ezithile zeGreat Barrier Reef ngelizama ukurekhoda umgangatho wamanzi.

IGreat Barrier Reef igubungela malunga ne-344,000 yeekhilomitha zesikweri sommandla kude nonxweme olusemntla-mpuma weOstreliya.Iqulethe amakhulu eziqithi kunye namawaka ezakhiwo zendalo, ezaziwa njengeingqaqa.

Abenzi boluvo balinganisa amanqanaba entlenga kunye nezinto zekhabhoni eziqukuqela ukusuka kuMlambo iFitzroy ukuya eKeppel Bay kwiphondo laseQueensland.Le ndawo ikwindawo ekumazantsi eGreat Barrier Reef.Ezo zinto zinokonakalisa ubomi bolwandle.

I-arhente karhulumente yase-Australia i-Commonwealth Scientific iqhuba inkqubo.I-arhente ithi umzamo usebenzisa i-sensor kunye nedatha yesathelayithi ukulinganisa utshintsho kumgangatho wamanzi.

Iingcali zithi umgangatho weendlela zamanzi eziselunxwemeni zaseOstreliya naphakathi kwelizwe usengozini ngenxa yokufudumala kwamaqondo obushushu, ukufudukela kwabantu ezidolophini, ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kunye nongcoliseko.

U-Alex Held ukhokela inkqubo.Uxelele iVOA ukuba intlenga inokuba yingozi kubomi bolwandle kuba iyakwazi ukuvala imitha yelanga emgangathweni wolwandle.Ukungabikho kokukhanya kwelanga kunokwenzakalisa ukukhula kwezityalo zaselwandle nezinye izinto eziphilayo.Intlenga isenokuhlala phezu kweengqaqa zekorale, nto leyo echaphazela ubomi bolwandle nalapho.

Ubambisene wathi izivamvo kunye neesathelayithi ziya kusetyenziswa ukulinganisa impumelelo yeenkqubo ezenzelwe ukunciphisa ukuqukuqela, okanye ukubaleka, kwentlenga yomlambo ukuya elwandle.

Ubanjelwe ukuba urhulumente wase-Australia sele eqhuba uluhlu lweenkqubo ezijolise ekunciphiseni imiphumo yentlenga kubomi bolwandle.Oku kuquka iinzame zokugcina izityalo zikhula ecaleni kwemilambo namanye amanzi ukuze kugcinwe intlenga.

Izazi ngemekobume ziye zalumkisa ngelithi iGreat Barrier Reef ijongene nezisongelo ezininzi.Oku kuquka ukutshintsha kwemozulu, ungcoliseko kunye nokuhamba kweemveliso zolimo.Ulwalwa – olubaleka malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-2,300 – lube kuLuhlu lweLifa leMveli leZizwe eziManyeneyo ukususela ngo-1981.

Sineentlobo ezahlukeneyo zezivansi zomgangatho wamanzi, ezisetyenziswa kakhulu kwishishini, i-aquaculture, ukhuseleko lokusingqongileyo kunye nezinye iindawo.
