Kulumikizananso ndi Nyanja

Ife amene timathera nthawi yochuluka m'zipinda zochitira misonkhano zopanda mawindo kukambirana za tsogolo la nyanja nthawi zambiri timamva chisoni kuti tilibe nthawi yochulukirapo, mkati, kapena panyanja. Kumayambiriro kwa masika ku Monaco, ndinadabwa pang'ono kupeza kuti chipinda chathu chamsonkhano chopanda mawindo chinali pansi pa Nyanja ya Mediterranean.

Pamisonkhano imeneyo, timakambirana za kubwezeretsa kuchuluka, kuonetsetsa kuti nyanja ikupitirizabe kutulutsa mpweya ndi kusunga mpweya wochuluka wa carbon-ntchito zonse zomwe zimakhudzidwa ndi ntchito za anthu. Chofunika kwambiri n’chakuti nyanjayi imaperekanso mipata yambiri yosangalalira ndi zosangalatsa—monga mmene anthu mamiliyoni ambiri amene amapita kugombe la nyanja kukapuma angatsimikizire.

Kaŵirikaŵiri, ndimalephera kugwiritsira ntchito mwaŵi umene uli nawo, ndikukhala monga momwe ndimachitira m’mphepete mwa nyanja. Chilimwe chatha, ndinali ndi ulendo wabwino kwambiri watsiku komwe ndidayendera zilumba zapadera kwambiri komanso kukwera pamwamba pa nyumba yowunikira ya mbiri yakale ya Seguin. Zochitika m'chilimwechi zidaphatikizapo ulendo watsiku wopita ku Monhegan. Kwa alendo a nyengo yabwino, Monhegan ndi yoyendayenda, kuyendera nyumba zakale za Lighthouse Hill, kuyang'ana m'mabwalo, ndikudya nsomba zatsopano kapena kusangalala ndi mowa wamba. Ndi malo omwe ndiafupi pamadzi komanso aatali pa chithumwa ndi mbiri yakale. Makilomita khumi ndi awiri kuchokera ku gombe la Maine, lakhala ndi anthu kwa zaka zoposa 400. Chiwerengero cha anthu chaka chonse ndi anthu osakwana 100, koma m’chilimwe, anthu masauzande ambiri amayenda ulendo wa boti.

Ma puffin anawulukira utawo pamene tinkayenda molunjika pachilumba cha Monhegan kwa tsikulo. Kulira kwa mbalame zotchedwa cormorants, akalulu, ndi mbalame zina za m’nyanja zinatilanditsa pamene tinkakwera doko. Momwemonso ma pickups ochokera m'nyumba zogona alendo pachilumbachi, okonzeka kunyamula katundu kwa alendo omwe adagona usiku wonse pamene tinkatsika m'bwato ndikupita pachilumba pa tsiku lowala kwambiri.

Sindikadakhala ndikugwira ntchito yanga ndikadapanda kunena kuti usodzi wa nkhanu wa Monhegan ndi gwero la anthu, lomwe limayendetsedwa pamodzi ndikukololedwa, ndikuyang'aniridwa posachedwa ndi dipatimenti ya Marine Resources ku Maine. Kwa zaka pafupifupi zana, mabanja ophera nkhanu a Monhegan ayika misampha yawo m'madzi pa Tsiku la Trap (tsopano mu Okutobala) ndikuyikokera kumtunda pafupifupi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi pambuyo pake. Anali m’gulu la anthu oyambirira kubweza nkhanu zazing’ono kunyanja kuti zikamere zina. Ndipo amalota m'miyezi yozizira pomwe mitengo yokwera imatha kupirira nyengo. 

Kuwoloka kubwerera ku Boothbay Harbor kunabwera ndi zithumwa zake: Kapitala wodziwa zambiri, kuona shaki, ma puffin ambiri, ndi porpoises ochepa. Tinagawana malo athu ndi ena. Tinakumana ndi akazi a m’banja la asodzi akumtunda akubwererako, atamva za kugwira nsomba yotchedwa bluefin tuna ndi kukweza manja kwa mabanja awo pamene anatilowetsamo. Pamene anthu ogwira ntchito m’sitimayo ankamangirira botilo pamalo okwera ndegeyo ndipo ifenso tinaima pamzere kuti tithokoze woyendetsa sitimayo pamene tikutsika, mmodzi wa anyamatawo anayang’ana kwa iye n’kunena kuti: “Kukwera panyanja kunali kwabwino kwambiri.

Nthawi zina, ziwopsezo za m'nyanja ndi moyo wamkati zimawoneka ngati zochulukira tikafika m'khosi mwathu mu zomwe, ngati, ndi zotani. Nthawi zimenezo mwina ndi pamene tifunika kukumbukira malingaliro oyamikira omwe amachokera ku tsiku lalikulu panyanja ndi mphamvu ya anthu kuti abwezeretse. Ndimakonda kuganiza kuti ndimayamika gulu la The Ocean Foundation tsiku lililonse—ndiponso ndizoona kuti mwina sindingathokoze nonse mokwanira chifukwa cha chithandizo chomwe mumapereka.

Kotero, zikomo. Ndipo mulole inu mupeze nthawi yanu pamadzi, pamadzi, kapena mmadzi momwe mukufunira.
