Umnenga ofileyo ubalaselisa iimpazamo ezinkulu kushishino lokuloba nge-octopus eFalse Bay

Omnye umnenga kaBryde oziimitha ezilishumi elinesibini obhubhileyo ufunyenwe eFalse Bay kufutshane neKapa kwiveki ephelileyo emva kokubanjiswa iintambo zengwane. Imigibe ibisetyenziswa yinkampani enye ukusukela ngo-12, ekucingelwa ukuba iphantsi “kwemvume yokuhlola”.

Amalungu oluntu abone umnenga obambeneyo – indoda endala emalunga neminyaka elishumi ubudala – malunga neekhilomitha ezimbini kude nonxweme ukusuka eMiller’s Point, indawo yokwazisa ngesikhephe edumileyo ngaphakathi koMmandla oKhuselweyo waseLwandle eTable Mountain National Park.

Iqela elisuka kwisiXeko saseKapa elikwiphenyane elivuthekileyo lasika umnenga ofileyo lakhulula iintambo laza latsala isidumbu seetoni ezintandathu kwisipopu ukuze sisuswe ngelori ukuya kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma yaseVisserhoek kumntla weMelkbos, apho wangcwatyelwa khona.

AmaNgqina akwi-slipway athethe ngendlela umzimba womnenga owawungxwelerheke ngayo ngokunzulu, ebonisa iimpawu zentlungu kunye neenzame ezililize zokuzikhulula kwiintambo zenayiloni ezimalunga neesentimitha ezintlanu ubukhulu. Ulwimi lomnenga lwaluthe kratya yaye ludumbile.

Umnenga kaBryde ofileyo (obizwa ngokuba “yi-Brooders”) ngumnenga wesithandathu eFalse Bay othe wabhubha ngenxa yokurhaxwa kwiintambo zokuloba iingwane kule minyaka mine idlulileyo, litshilo igosa leSixeko saseKapa elisebenza kulawulo lonxweme nelicele ukungachazwa kwamagama. .

Igosa lesixeko lathi: “Ubuncinane iminenga esibhozo iye yabanjiswa, kwaza kwafa emithandathu. Kodwa kusenokwenzeka ukuba omabini la manani ajongelwa phantsi, njengoko singawazi onke amatyala.

Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambili, ngoMgqibelo we-8 kaJuni, amavolontiya akhulula i-whale encinci ye-humpback kwi-octopus trap rop, nayo kufuphi ne-Miller's Point.

“Sifumene ithole lomnenga i-Humpback libotshelelwe ngentambo emzimbeni kunye namaphiko kwaye libotshelelwe kumandlalo wolwandle,” utshilo uCraig Lambinon weSAWDN. "Kwakukho umnenga omkhulu esikrokrela ukuba lilungu losapho lwethole."

Ukufa komnenga we-Bryde kunye nokubanjiswa kwe-humpback kwenzeka ekuqaleni kwexesha leminenga yaseKapa, ​​xa ininzi iminenga ebonwa kumanzi aseKapa ebusika nasentlakohlaza. Izixeko kunye needolophu ezifana neKapa, ​​iHermanus kunye nePlettenberg Bay zibonelela ngokubukela iminenga esezikhepheni nasemhlabeni. Uninzi lweentlobo eziqhelekileyo zokubona ziquka i-Southern Right, i-Humpback kunye neminenga ye-Bryde.

Inye kuphela inkampani esebenzise imigibe yokuloba iingwane ukusukela ngo-1998 phantsi kwemvume ebizwa ngokuba “yimvume yokuhlola”, enikwe liSebe lezoLimo, amaHlathi nezokuLoba.

Igosa lesixeko lichaze ukuba injongo yemvume yokuphonononga kukuseka ngezifundo zenzululwazi ukuba ukuloba iingwane zizinzileyo na.

Kodwa kulwazi lwethu, alukho uhlalutyo lwesayensi olukhe lwenziwa kwaye inkampani iyaqhubeka nokusebenza, ibambe amawaka eengwane ngaphandle kovavanyo lokuzinza. Yaye iminenga iyaqhubeka isifa. Luvavanyo olungaphumeleliyo, kwaye ushishino lokuloba kufuneka luvalwe ngokukhawuleza.”

Ngokwemiqathango yemvume, inkampani ivumelekile ukuba isebenze kwiindawo ezininzi e-False Bay, ibeka amakhulu aliqela imigibe yeengwane emazantsi olwandle kwimigca enokuthi inabe phakathi kweekhilomitha ezintlanu ukuya kwezingama-20.

Okubizwa ngokuba "izimbiza" - okanye izibatha - zilala phantsi kolwandle, kwaye zixhunywe ngamaketanga anzima kunye neentambo ezikhokelayo. Le minenga inokubambisa, ibambe izilwanyana ngaphantsi komphezulu, ize ekugqibeleni iyirhaxwe.

Ukusukela ngo-1998 inkampani isuse ukuya kutsho kwiitoni ezingama-50 zengwane ngonyaka eFalse Bay. Imigibe ekuqaleni yayijongwa “njengenobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo”, kuba ukubanjiswa ngengozi kwakujongwa njengephantsi ngokwamkelekileyo. Kodwa iminyaka eliqela ukubanjiswa kunye nokufa kweminenga kuye kwaphakamisa inkxalabo malunga nomgangatho wokuziphatha kunye noqoqosho lweshishini.

Umfoti kunye nomenzi wefilimu uCraig Foster wayekho kwi-slipway yaseMiller's Point xa umnenga ofileyo wasiziswa elunxwemeni. Kangangeminyaka elishumi uye wantywila phantse yonke imihla e-False Bay, ebhala ngezilwanyana zaselwandle njengenxalenye yeSea Change Project, umbutho ongajonganga ngeniso othe wasebenzisana neengcali zebhayoloji yaselwandle kwiYunivesithi yaseKapa.

"Kutheni le nkampani incinci ivunyelwe ukubaleka kule nto? Iqeshe abantu abambalwa kuphela. I-False Bay lelinye lamaziko aseMzantsi Afrika anezityalo nezilwanyana ezohlukeneyo, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo ukuba ishishini lokuloba iingwane linafuthe lini kuzo zonke ezinye izilwanyana zaselwandle.”

“Akukho mthethweni ukuba uluntu lusondele kumnenga kumgama ongangeemitha ezingama-300, kwaye lubeke esichengeni sokuvalelwa entolongweni okanye amakhulu amawaka eerandi,” utshilo uFoster. “Kodwa inkampani yokuloba inoxanduva ekugqibeleni lokubulala iminenga, kwaye ayifumani ntlawulo okanye ukunqunyanyiswa? Ayinangqondo kwaphela.”

Iindleko zemali zokuqhawula kunye nokukhulula iminenga ebanjwe, kunye nokulahla iminenga efileyo, ibalulekile, kodwa inkampani ayinaxanduva.

Eli gosa lathi: “Kubiza imali, ixesha nomsebenzi onzima ukuncothula umnenga, ukuwurhuqela elunxwemeni, ukuwusa kwindawo yokulahla inkunkuma, nokuwungcwaba. “Inkampani ayilihlawuli eli tyala, sisixeko kunye nabahlawuli berhafu. Abemi baxhasa ngokufanelekileyo ukubulawa kweminenga ngelixa inkampani ivunyelwe ukuloba amawaka eengwane eFalse Bay ngeendleko ezinkulu zokusingqongileyo, ezoqoqosho nezokuziphatha.”

“Ayikukuba le nkampani iqeshe amakhulu abantu basekuhlaleni, okanye ibonelela ngokutya kwiimarike zalapha. Yonke ingwane ifakwa emkhenkceni kwaye ithunyelwe kumazwe aseAsia. Inkampani yabalobi abancinci iyaxhamla ngelixa igama leKapa kwihlabathi njengendawo yokhenketho lingcoliswa ngokubulawa kweminenga.”
