Enye yemikhumbi emikhulukazi nenethezeka kakhulu emhlabeni yehle e-Batemans Bay, iletha nenqwaba yabagibeli abacebile.
Kodwa ezinye izazi zendawo zemvelo zesaba ukuthi umkhumbi, i-The World, ungalimaza i-ecosystem ebuthakathaka ye-Batemans Marine Park.
Umhlaba uyaziqhenya “ngokufinyelela okukhethekile kokuhamba phambili ekuhambeni” futhi ukhokhisa ngokufanele. Izindleko zelinye lamafulethi ayo angu-165 zisuka ku-$1300 ziye ku-$4750 ngobusuku. Umkhumbi wamamitha angu-200, obhaliswe e-Bahamas, ufike e-Edeni ngeSonto ngaphambi kokudlulela e-Batemans Bay ngoMsombuluko. Ilindeleke eJervis Bay, nayo eyipaki yasolwandle ethambile, kusasa.
UMnyango Wezemvelo kanye Nokuguquguquka Kwesimo Sezulu wakwa-NSW ukugunyazile lokhu kuvakasha.
"Lolu hambo luhlelelwe isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka futhi luhlangabezana nemithetho yepaki yasolwandle," kusho umkhulumeli womnyango. "Umkhumbi unezindinganiso zemvelo ezisebenza kahle kakhulu emhlabeni futhi sikholelwa ukuthi buncane ubungozi bemvelo."
Kodwa izazi zemvelo zesaba ukuthi izinambuzane zasolwandle zinganamathela ezingxenyeni zemikhumbi futhi zingene emanzini azwelayo.
UMark Fleming, iphini likamongameli we-Coastwatchers Association futhi omele ukongiwa kwemvelo ku-Batemans Marine Park Authority, uthe ukhathazekile ngomthelela ezinkundleni zokuzalanisa ukhwathu.
"Sinemboni ebalulekile yezasemanzini lapha," kusho uMnu Fleming. "Kumele sikhathazeke ngokuthuthwa kwezinambuzane zasolwandle, ngoba zingaba nomthelela omkhulu."
Esinye sezinambuzane ezinjalo, inkanyezi yasolwandle yaseNyakatho yePacific, sithuthele eTasmania, kwase kuba yiPort Phillip Bay futhi sasihamba ngasogwini lwase-Victorian sibheke e-NSW, esho.
UMnu Fleming wayekhathazeke ngisho nangezikebhe ezibuyela oGwini oluseNingizimu esuka eTasmania ngemva kokuncintisana emjahweni we-yacht osuka eSydney-to-Hobart.
"Bangikhathaza kakhulu ukwedlula lo mkhumbi [The World] futhi sidinga ukuqwashisa ngalolu daba," esho.
U-Julia Mayo-Ramsay, ummeli wezemvelo osogwini oluseNingizimu nochwepheshe kwezomthetho wasolwandle, uthe imikhumbi ejulile ibeka engcupheni utshani basolwandle e-Batemans Bay naseJervis Bay. "Uma kufanele umise umkhumbi ongaka, kuhlale kunengozi," kusho uNkz Mayo-Ramsay.
Isiphathimandla sezokuvakasha e-Eurobodalla Shire sikwamukele ukufika kwe-The World futhi sihlelele abagibeli baso uhlelo olubanzi, okuhlanganisa nohambo oluya ezindaweni ezikhangayo zasendaweni njenge-Mogo Village, i-Original Gold Rush Company kanye ne-Mogo Zoo, kanye nokuhamba ngomkhumbi emfuleni i-Clyde, lapho ingxenye enkulu yemboni ye-oyster igxile khona.
