- Wahi: kahi ma waena o ka Great Barrier Reef, Belize.
Ma kahi o kahakai o Belize a hiki i ke kahakai o Guatemala, ma kahi o 30 meters ka mamao o ka Belize Barrier Reef . ʻO ka nani o kēia mau wahi he mea kupaianaha loa ia, aʻaʻole loa e hoʻoholoʻia ua hoʻoholoʻia i kēia mau wahi e hoʻonohonoho i kahi'āina mālama'āina moanaʻo Gladden-Spit ma ka moana.
He aha nāʻenehana kūlohelohe e pili ana i nā holokaʻi?
He nani loa keʻano o Belize a heʻano likeʻole ka mea e kūpono ai i ka hoʻolālā kipa me nā hana kuhi a me nā kiʻi kuhi. ʻO ka'alele koleʻeleʻo Belizean he'auwaʻa me ke kai eʻe maopopo loa i ke kai eʻe, ma laila e ulu ai nā kola koala i lilo i wahi noho no nāʻano iʻa.
Me ke kūkuluʻana i ka hoʻokipa ma Belize, ua lilo ka Barrier Reef i kekahi o nā mea nui o kēia mau wahi. I kēia lā, ke kipaʻia kēia wahi e kahi 130,000 mau mākaʻikaʻi i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
Ua hoʻonohonohoʻia nā kaiaolaola ma waena o ka papa e like me he hoʻoilina waiwaiʻole a UNESCO mai ka makahiki 1996. Ma kahi wale nō, ma waho o ke kahakaiʻo Belize ka Waiwai Waiwaiʻo Gladden-Spit. Hoʻohiwahiʻia e pili ana i 25 mauʻano iʻa iʻa he nui, 15ʻanoʻano'āleʻa a me nā mea kanu likeʻole e hiki ke ulu ma kahi kokoke i nā puʻu. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona kūikawā no nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi keʻikeʻiaʻana o nā mane kahakaiʻole e holo ana i loko o ka wai o Gladden-Spit i ka manawa o ka neʻeʻana eʻimi i ka meaʻai. ʻO ka meaʻai nui o kēiaʻano manō he iʻa liʻiliʻi a me ka papa honua, he nui ka nohoʻana i kēia mau wahi. E hālāwai i ke one eʻe i loko o ka wai o ka Belize Barrier Ke kahawai i loko o Malaki-ʻApelila, ka pule mua ma hope o ka mahina piha.
ʻO ka luʻuʻana i ka'āina
Hoʻokumuʻia nā punawai waipahē ma Belize i nā wahi āpau. I loko o ka wai o ka mālama'āina, kahi o nā pipi maikaʻi. I ke kai aniani e hiki ai iāʻoe ke nānā i ka iʻa kai'ālohilohi aʻauʻau me nā mane ākau. Ua kapu loa ia e hōʻole i ka pono o ke kaula o ke kola, iʻole e hoʻopau i ke kaiaola oʻoleʻa i ka manawa like.
I ka wa e luʻuʻana me nā manō, ponoʻoe e mālama i nā kānāwai kūpaʻa i paʻa loa:
- ʻO ka bapetizoʻana i ka wā o ka neʻeʻana o nā mākenaʻaʻole iʻoi aku i ka hola a me ka hapalua;
- i nā manō ua pāpāʻia keʻauʻana ma mua o 3 m;
- ʻaʻohe hiki ke kiʻiʻia me ke'ōlaʻi, a iʻole e hiki ke hoʻoweliweli i ka'āina o ka'āina.
Akāʻo nā kuʻikoa e pili ana i nā minuke i hoʻohanaʻia ma ka pili kokoke i nā manō.
Pehea e hele ai i kahi hoʻolālā?
ʻO ka palenaʻo Gladden-Spit kahi kokoke i ka Plainscia Peninsula ma Belize , kahi o 100 kilomita ma ka hema o ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Belize . No ka heleʻana i kona'āina, hiki ke hiki i kahi o nā huakaʻi hele ma nā moku.
