Amanzi Olwandle eFlorida Afudumele Kakhulu Ngokubhukuda

Uma kuqhathaniswa nosuku olushisayo lwasehlobo eHawaii, lapho amanzi ekhona 26.5 ° C / 79.7 ° F namuhla, Ukufudumala Kwembulunga yonke kuhlangana ne-Sunshine State.

Njengoba “amagagasi okushisa angakaze abonwe kanye nezinga lokushisa elikhuphukayo lamanzi” kubangela “isenzakalo esikhulu sokufiphala kwamakhorali,”, I-University of South Florida (USF) abacwaningi bathuthele izibonelo zamakhorali eziyi-1,500 emathangini asemhlabeni ngoMsombuluko.

Kubalulekile: Izixhobo zamakhorali zikhoselisa u-25% wezilwane zasolwandle futhi zisekela ingxenye yebhiliyoni yabantu.

ISouth Florida kanye ne Izinkinobho zeFlorida babe namarekhodi aphezulu okushisa olwandle. Isazi sesimo sezulu saseTampa Bay uJeff Berardelli sibike ukuthi kungenzeka kube nerekhodi lokushisa elingu-101° F olwandle ngoMsombuluko.

Lesi sifunda sinesexwayiso esiphezulu se-NOAA sokufiphalisa amakhorali.
Isimo: I-USF's Keys Marine Laboratory, elawulwa yi-Florida Institute of Oceanography, isingatha ama-coral specimens aqoqwe kusuka ezikhungweni ezingasogwini namakoloni abazali evikini eledlule.

I-USF ithi amakhorali amaningana e-KML amathangi angu-60 awavamile futhi asengozini.

I-USF ithi lesi sikhungo “sinamandla okuhlalisa izinkulungwane ezengeziwe njengoba umcimbi wokufiphala kwamakhorali kulindeleke ukuthi uqhubeke” ngamathangi asuka ku-40 kuya ku-1,000 XNUMX.

"Ngokujwayelekile, amazinga okushisa amanzi ngalesi sikhathi sonyaka aphakathi kweminyaka yama-80s, kodwa iFlorida isivele iqopha amazinga okushisa angama-90 degrees, umqondisi we-KML uCynthia Lewis etshela abezindaba zendawo. “Kuyathusa kakhulu.”

Indawo yokubuyisela yeCoral Restoration Foundation yeminyaka engu-10 ubudala eFlorida Keys, eSombrero Reef, ikhombise imiphumela yamazinga okushisa aqinile ngoLwesine.

Okwatholakala kwakungacabangeki—ukufa kwamakhorali angu-100%. Cishe wonke amakhorali akuLower Keys Looe Key Nursery alahlekile.

Ngokusho kwe-NOAA, i-coral bleaching kwenzeka lapho amakhorali exosha ulwelwe ezicutshini zabo emanzini afudumele. Kungase kubangele ukufa.

Izindlu zokushisa zandisa izinga lokushisa kwamanzi ngokususa isibhakabhaka nokufudumala umoya.

Ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu kwenza amagagasi okushisa omhlaba nawolwandle abe namandla kakhulu futhi ahlale isikhathi eside.

I-USF ilindele ukuthi amakhorali ahlale ezinhlelweni ezisekelwe emhlabeni izinyanga, kanti amanye akhuliswa lapho.

“Uma singavumelani nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, sizobhujiswa“, kwakuyindaba eTurboNews eshicilelwe mayelana ne-Seychelles. Lokhu manje kuba ngokoqobo emhlabeni wonke.

Lapho lawa mazinga okushisa aphakeme ngokomlando abuyela kokujwayelekile, ososayensi be-USF ngokubambisana nabelaphi bokubuyisela kuwo wonke ama-Keys bangabuyisela amakhorali ezindaweni zawo ezingasogwini futhi ekugcineni indawo yawo yemvelo, bawaxhume kabusha emaweni besebenzisa i-epoxy, usimende, othayi be-zip, nezinzipho. .
