I-US ikwilizwe eliphambili lamazwe amathathu abalaseleyo kwi-snorkeling emhlabeni

I-Snorkeling ngumsebenzi weholide odume kakhulu osivumela ukuba sijonge ukuzonwabisa kunye nokuphonononga ihlabathi lasemzini nje ngaphantsi komphezulu wolwandle.

Kwakhona kunokusishiya sineenkumbulo zobomi bonke. Kodwa zeziphi iilwandlekazi kunye neelwandle ezizezona zilungele ukuba ama-snorkelers kunye nabo bantlithekileyo bafumane amava? 

Iingcali zohambo zilinganise awona mazwe abalaseleyo ahamba nge-snorkeling kwihlabathi jikelele, ngokusekwe kwizinto ezifana neendawo ze-coral reef, iintlobo zeentlanzi, kunye nokhenketho olukhoyo lokusnorkeling.

Ngokweengcaphephe, amazwe ali-10 aphambili e-snorkeling kwihlabathi liphela ngala:

1. I-Australia - Indawo ye-Coral Reef (km2) - 48,960, Iintlobo zeentlanzi - 4,934, iiNdwendwe ze-Snorkeling - 97, i-Temperature yoLwandle (C) - 12.41
2. iMaldives – iCoral Reef Area (km2) – 8.920, Iintlobo zeentlanzi – 1,122, uKhenketho lweSnorkeling – 21, uBubushushu boLwandle (C) – 0.45
3. EUnited States – iCoral Reef Area (km2) – 3,770, Iintlobo zeentlanzi – 3,074, uKhenketho lweSnorkeling – 251, uBubushushu boLwandle (C) – 3.8
4. Cuba – Coral Reef Area (km2) – 3,020, Iintlobo zeentlanzi – 1,103, Snorkeling Tours – 44, Ubushushu boLwandle (C) – 1.81
5. I-Bahamas - i-Coral Reef Area (km2) - 3,150, Iintlobo zeentlanzi - 884, uKhenketho lwe-Snorkeling - 43, uBushushu boLwandle (C) - 1.55
6. I-Papua New Guinea – i-Coral Reef Area (km2) – 13,840, Iintlobo zeeNtlanzi – 2,858, uKhenketho lwe-Snorkeling – 61, uBubushushu boLwandle (C) – 1.02
7. IiPhilippines – iCoral Reef Area (km2) – 25,060, Iintlobo zeentlanzi – 3,339, uKhenketho lweSnorkeling – 91, uBubushushu boLwandle (C) – 3.03
8. I-Indonesia - i-Coral Reef Area (km2) - 51,020, Iintlobo zeentlanzi - 4,772, uKhenketho lwe-Snorkeling - 166, uBushushu boLwandle (C) - 30.93
9. I-Fiji - Indawo ye-Coral Reef (km2) - 10,020, Iintlobo zeentlanzi - 1,302, uKhenketho lwe-Snorkeling - 20, uBushushu boLwandle (C) - 0.25
10. I-Micronesia - Indawo ye-Coral Reef (km2) - 4,340, Iintlobo zeentlanzi - i-1,230, iiNdwendwe ze-Snorkeling - i-25, i-Temperature yoLwandle (C) - 3.46

I-United States yaseMelika ibeke indawo yesithathu kunye neCuba kweyona ndawo ibalaseleyo yokuntywila emanzini.

I-US inelona nani liphezulu le-7 leentlobo zeentlanzi kumazwe angama-50, oku kuthetha ukuba uya kubona iintlobo ezininzi zeentlanzi apha.

Ikwalikhaya laseFlorida Reef, eyona nkqubo yesithathu ngobukhulu emhlabeni, eyenza iTallahassee ibe yeyona ndawo iphambili yokuya kubakhweli be-snorkelers.

Ostreliya, ngeGreat Barrier Reef yayo ehlala idume, ibekwa njengeyona ndawo ilungileyo yokundwendwela i-snorkeling emhlabeni.

Likhaya kwindawo yesibini ngobukhulu kwi-coral reef emhlabeni elingana ne-17.22% yommandla wehlabathi we-coral reef!

Okumangalisayo kukuba, ulwandle lwase-Australia lunegalelo nge-0% ekukhutshweni kwenkunkuma yeplastiki, okuthetha ukuba kukugcina iilwandle zethu zicocekile.

IiMaldives bathathe indawo yesibini kwezona ndawo zintle zokuntywila emanzini ehlabathini, kuba likhaya phantse kwi-3.14% yezixhobo zolwandle zekorale zizonke.

Ukusasazeka kobushushu bolwandle obusezantsi nge-0.45% kuthetha ukuba uya kufuna kuphela iseti enye yegiya kunye ne-wetsuit enye naphi na apho uya ku-snorkeling apha.
