Namuhla, i-SeaWorld San Antonio yethule iTurtle Reef, enendawo yokuqala yohlobo lwayo yokuhlunga kwe-biofiltration. Izivakashi zingathola ukubhekisisa eduze izimfudu zasolwandle ezisengozini futhi ezisindisiwe nezinhlanzi ezinemibala eminingi, kuyilapho zifunda kabanzi ngomthelela womuntu olwandle.
Ukwengeza, leli paki livule izindlela ezimbili ezintsha zokugibela ezithokozisayo ezithuthukisa itimu ekhangayo yokongiwa kofudu lwasolwandle. I-Riptide Rescue iwuhambo olujabulisayo lokuhlenga, oluthatha imindeni kumkhankaso wokusiza ukusindisa izilwane zasolwandle kanye ne-Sea Swinger, ukugibela okujabulisayo okushwiba phezulu okuzokwethula abagibeli ku-arc ecishe ihambisane nomhlabathi phezulu kwendlela yayo, ngaphambi kokubathumela phezulu. eqophelweni elifanayo ngokuphambene—konke ngemizuzwana nje.
Lokhu kugibela kanye nendawo yokuhlala yofudu kuphawula unyaka wesihlanu ilandelana leli paki lengeze izinto ezintsha ezikhangayo.
Imvelo ye-Turtle Reef engu-126,000-gallon coral reef-themed yaklanywa njengohlelo lwemvelo lokuhlunga ukuze kwakhiwe uhlelo lokuhlunga oluseduze kwemvelo, olusekelwe endaweni ezungezile oluheha izilwane zasendle futhi lunciphise ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi namandla epaki, okwenza ipaki iqhubekisele phambili i-eco-friendly yayo. umsebenzi. Le ndawo yokuhlala ye-biodynamic, enezinhlobo eziningi izohlalwa izimfudu zasolwandle ezihlengiwe nezingakhululeki ekunakekelweni okusezingeni lomhlaba kwe-SeaWorld, okuhlanganisa nezimfudu zasolwandle ezisengozini yokushabalala, kanye no-Big Mama, ufudu lwasolwandle oluyisisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-250 olwahlengwa ngasogwini eGulf of Mexico ngemva kokuba. ukulimala okukhulu emaphepheni akhe angaphambili nangemuva.
UDan Ashe unguMongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-Association of Zoos and Aquariums, kanye nomqondisi wangaphambili we-US Fish and Wildlife Service. Uthe, “I-Turtle Reef iyisibonelo sokuzibophezela kwe-SeaWorld ekuvikeleni ulwandle. Lo mbukiso omangalisayo wezithandani ubeka engcupheni yokuhlenga ufudu lwasolwandle ngesipiliyoni esihehayo nesikhuthazayo sezivakashi, futhi sisebenzisa ukuhlunga kwesimanjemanje, kwe-biodynamic. Kubonisa ubuholi obuhlinzekwa ngezindawo ezihlala emanzini zesimanje nezigunyaziwe kanye nama-zoo ekusindiseni izilwane ekuqothulweni.”
“Ukungcoliswa kolwandle, ukuchitheka kukawoyela kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwezindawo zokuhlala ezinye zezinselele ezinkulu ezibhekene nezimfudu zasolwandle, futhi iTurtle Reef inikeza ithuba lokucwilisa izivakashi ukuze zifunde ukuthi zingasiza kanjani lezi zilwane,” kusho umongameli wepaki i-SeaWorld kanye ne-Aquatica San Antonio uCarl Lum. "Sijabule ukukhombisa uhlobo lwezilwane olungakaze luvezwe e-SeaWorld San Antonio, kuyilapho sifundisa izivakashi ngomgomo wethu wokuvikela izilwane nezindawo zokuhlala emhlabeni wonke."
I-SeaWorld San Antonio ikujabulele ukusebenzisana ne-University of Texas Marine Science Institute's Amos Rehabilitation Keep (ARK) njengozakwethu wezokongiwa kwemvelo weTurtle Reef. Amaphesenti amahlanu enzuzo yokuthengwa kwempahla ekhethiwe yofudu oluthengiswa e-SeaWorld San Antonio izoya enhlanganweni engenzi nzuzo umgomo wayo oyinhloko ukuhlenga kanye nokuvuselela izimilo zezimfudu zasolwandle ezigulayo nezilimele, izinyoni, izimfudu nezimfudu zasolwandle ezitholakala eduze neSouth Texas. ugu.
"Sihlonipheke ngokujoyina i-SeaWorld San Antonio ekuzibophezeleni kwethu okwabiwe ukuze siveze usizi lwezinhlanzi zasolwandle ezisengozini yokushabalala endle," kusho uDkt Robert Dickey, uMqondisi we-University of Texas Marine Science Institute. "Lo mbukiso uzosiza ukusekela umsebenzi wokuhlenga izilwane zasendle kanye nomsebenzi wokufundisa wesikhungo i-Amos Rehabilitation Keep (ARK) ePort Aransas, futhi uthuthukise kakhulu ukuqonda komphakathi ngezinhlobonhlobo ezimangalisayo zezilwane zasolwandle okufanele sisize ukuzilondolozela izizukulwane ezizayo."
