Ukugcwala okukhulu kwe-sargassum seaweed ogwini lwaseCaribbean lwaseMexico sekuyinkinga enkulu kubahambi, abanikazi bamahhotela kanye neziphathimandla zendawo. Ezindaweni ezifana nePlaya del Carmen, amanzi, ngokuvamile aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ngezinye izikhathi abonakala ensundu futhi emuncu, kanye nokuqongelela kwe-algae okuguqula indawo. Njengoba lezi zitshalo zasolwandle zibola, zikhipha iphunga elibi , ngokusho kokulandisa okuhlukahlukene kanye nokuhlaziywa, elivimbela ezinye izivakashi.
Lesi simo asigcini nje ngobuhle: sithinta ukubhukha, ukubuyekezwa kwezivakashi, kanye nomfanekiso weRiviera Maya. Isizini ye-sargassum isibe yinto enqumayo ezinqumweni zokuhamba, ikakhulukazi ehlobo nasekwindla. Ngakho-ke, umkhakha wezokuvakasha kanye nezikhungo zifuna izixazululo ezidlula nje ukususa ukhula lwasolwandle ogwini.
Ugu lolwandle lungaphansi kwengcindezi namahhotela azama ukubuyisa imali
E-Riviera Maya, izikhungo eziningana ziqinise izinqubomgomo zazo zesinxephezelo ukuze zinciphise ukukhansela futhi zinikeze ukuzethemba okwengeziwe kulabo ababhukhayo. I-"Beach Promise" kaFairmont Mayakoba , eyasebenza phakathi kukaSepthemba 14 noDisemba 20, 2026, inikeza ubusuku obengeziwe uma isivakashi singakwazi ukufinyelela ogwini ngenxa yokuqongelela okukhulu kolwandle lwe-sargassum, uma nje belubika eresiphi futhi abasebenzi beluqinisekisa.
Lesi akusona isinyathelo esizimele. Kusukela ngo-2024, amahhotela aseCancún, ePuerto Morelos, naseTulum asebenzise izinyathelo ezifana nobusuku bamahhala, ukushintsha izinsuku ezingenasijeziso , kanye nemisebenzi yokuzilibazisa ehlukile lapho ulwandle olunolaka luvimbela izivakashi ukuthi zijabulele isihlabathi. Ezinye izinketho zifaka phakathi ukudluliselwa emabhishi angathinteki kakhulu, ukufinyelela emapaki nasema-cenotes, amakhredithi e-spa noma ezindawo zokudlela, kanye nokubuyiselwa kwemali okuyingxenye.
I-Riviera Maya Hotel Association (AHRM) igcizelela ukuthi isimo samabhishi siyaqhubeka nokuthonya ukubuyekezwa kanye nezinqumo zokuhamba. Lezi ziqinisekiso sezibe ithuluzi lokugcina ukubhukha nokuvikela isithombe seCaribbean yaseMexico, yize zingaxazululi umsuka wenkinga. Kulabo ababhukha besuka eSpain noma kulo lonke elaseYurophu, lezi zinhlobo zezinyathelo zingaba yisici esinqumayo lapho bekhetha indawo.
Ukuhlanzeka, idatha kanye nokubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe
Nakuba amahhotela ezama ukuphatha ulwazi lwezivakashi, imizamo yokuhlanza iyanda. I-Royal Caribbean Group, kanye ne-Less Plastic is Fantastic, bathuthukise uhlelo lokuphatha lwezinyanga ezinhlanu eMahahual. Kuleso sigaba sokuqala, kwasuswa amathani angu-977 e-sargassum , kwasetshenziswa amanetha okuqoqwa angu-3.054, kwakhiqizwa amasaka angu-560 olwandle olomisiwe.
Amaqembu aqoqa i-sargassum emanzini ngaphambi kokuba ifike ogwini ayithutha ayiyise ezindaweni zokomisa nezokucubungula. Lapho, kwahlukaniswa udoti nezinye izinto. Izinhlobo zasolwandle ezihlobene nolwandle, njengezinkalankala , i-triggerfish encane, i-shrimp, kanye ne-frogfish , nazo zabhalwa phansi, ngaphezu kwe-macroplastics etholakale ngesikhathi sokuhlanza.
Inkampani yemikhumbi ihlela ukwandisa ukusebenza kuze kube uNovemba, yandise imikhumbi yayo kusukela emikhunjini emibili kuya kwemithathu futhi ihlanze isiteshi sokuzulazula phakathi kweMahahual ephakathi nendawo kanye nomnyango oya eQuebrado Norte. Umgomo uwukususa amanetha phansi kolwandle kanye nemfucumfucu eqoqwe eduze kwezithiyo, ngokubambisana neKomiti yeMahahual Sargassum kanye neMexican Navy.
Ngokusho kukaSemarnat, cishe u-10% wokhula lwasolwandle i-sargassum oluhamba eCaribbean yaseMexico lugeleza ogwini lwaseQuintana Roo ngenxa yendawo olukuyo. Lokhu kusiza ukuchaza ukuthi kungani inkinga inkulu kakhulu ogwini lwaseQuintana Roo.
IYurophu ingena kulesi sibalo: kusukela ekuvuneni ukhula lwasolwandle kuya ekudaleni imakethe
Ingqungquthela yesine ye-European Union-Caribbean Conference on Sargassum, ebibanjelwe eCancún, ilethe ushintsho endleleni yokwenza izinto. Abameleli bakahulumeni, ososayensi, nabaholi bamabhizinisi bavumile ukuthi ukususa ukhula lwasolwandle akwanele : kubalulekile ukwakha uchungechunge lwenani lesifunda oluvumela ukusetshenziswa kwalo kwezimboni futhi lusekele imisebenzi kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali.
Umhlangano ubuhanjelwe abameleli abangu-350 abavela emazweni nasezindaweni ezingu-45, kanye noMyriam Ferrán, iPhini likaMqondisi-Jikelele we-Directorate-General ye-European Commission for International Partnerships. I-EU ibheka ukukhula okungalawulwa kwe-sargassum njengenselele yomhlaba wonke futhi isebenzisa isu layo le-Global Gateway ukusekela ohulumeni baseCaribbean.
UNobhala Ongaphansi Wentuthuko Eqhubekayo kanye Nomnotho Ojikelezayo eSemarnat, uJosé Luis Samaniego Leyva, uthe lesi sifunda sihlose ukuqoqa nokucubungula okungenani amathani angu-660.000 e-sargassum seaweed phakathi kuka-2026 no-2027. Ukuze bafeze lokhu, basebenza ukunqoba izithiyo ezifana nokubikezela okwabiwe, amazinga ahlangene, ukuqoqwa nokomiswa kwempahla, kanye nokuxhaswa ngezimali okunwebekayo.
Izibalo ezixoxwe ngazo emihlanganweni zibonisa ukuthi amathani ayizigidi ezingu-38 emfucumfucu antanta e-Atlantic ngo-2025, izigidi ezingu-60 ngo-2026, kanye cishe nezigidi ezingu-80 ngonyaka olandelayo . Umbusi waseQuintana Roo, uMara Lezama, wakhuthaza ukuhlanganiswa kwesayensi nokutshalwa kwezimali ukuze kuguqulwe lesi sibopho semvelo sibe yimpahla yentuthuko.
IDominican Republic neBarbados bavumelana ngesidingo esiphuthumayo sokuqinisa uchungechunge lwenani oluqhubekayo ngokusekelwa kwesayensi kanye nezezimali. Ukubambisana kwamazwe ngamazwe kubhekwa njengokubalulekile ekuvikeleni ezokuvakasha kanye nokudoba, kanti ingqungquthela elandelayo izobanjelwa eDominican Republic.
Kusukela emfucumfucwini kuya ezinsizakalweni: umnotho ojikelezayo kanye nezinselele ezisalindile
IMexico ithole izinhlelo ezingu-198 zokusebenzisa i-sargassum, ezingu-38 zazo ziyimikhiqizo yokuthengisa kanti ezingu-11 sezilungele ukukhuliswa kwezimboni. I-National Fisheries Charter ebuyekeziwe ihlukanise kabusha i-sargassum kusukela emfucumfucwini ibe yimithombo yokudoba , futhi kungenzeka ukuthi ibanjwe ngamathani afinyelela ku-945.000 olwandle olomisiwe minyaka yonke.
Isikhungo Sokuthuthukiswa Komnotho Esijikelezayo ePuerto Morelos sinikeza izikhuthazo zesikhala kanye nezentela zokucubungula amathani afinyelela ku-4.000 e-sargassum nsuku zonke, sigxile ekukhiqizweni kwe-bioplastics kanye ne-biocardboard. Kuhlelwa futhi ukuhlanganisa i-sargassum emakethe yekhabhoni yokuzithandela , okuqinisekisa ukuncishiswa kokukhishwa kwe-methane uma iqoqwa olwandle ngaphambi kokuba ibole.
E-Playa del Carmen, i-Mexican Caribbean Recycling and Circular Economy Convention yesibili ibhekane nalezi zinselele ngokungeniswa kwamahhala kanye nefomethi yemicimbi engenakusetshenziswa. Isethulo mayelana nokuguqulwa kwe-sargassum sibuyekeze izixazululo ezifana nokufaka umquba ngemva kokunciphisa nokususa izingxenye zamakhemikhali, kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho kokuvuselela kwangaphambilini.
Izinhlangano zemvelo ezifana neCenotes Urbanos zixwayisa ngokuthi ezinye izindawo zokuqoqwa kwemfucuza yesikhashana azinazo izinhlayiya ezingenakungenwa ezidingwa yi-Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat). Kukhona ingozi yokuthi i-leachate equkethe izinsimbi ezisindayo izofika emanzini angaphansi komhlaba, okuyinkinga ebucayi kakhulu endaweni encike kwezokuvakasha kanye nezinsiza zemvelo.
Isimo semfucuza sibucayi futhi: I-Playa del Carmen ikhiqiza amathani aphakathi kuka-800 no-900 kadoti nsuku zonke, inani elingafinyelela amathani ayi-1.000 ngosuku ngesikhathi sesizini esimatasa. Ukuphathwa kukamasipala, ukuvuselelwa kwengilazi, izindwangu, izinqamu zikagwayi, uwoyela, amakhadibhodi, kanye nemfucuza yezinto eziphilayo kuvela ohlelweni njengezingcezu zephazili efanayo.
Isimo se-sargassum eCaribbean yaseMexico siyinhlanganisela eyinkimbinkimbi yezokuvakasha, imvelo, isayensi, kanye nemali. Amabhishi aseQuintana Roo asalokhu eyimbangela yenkinga, kodwa impendulo isishintshele ekunxephezelweni kwamahhotela, ekuhlanzweni kwamanzi, ezivumelwaneni phakathi kweYurophu neCaribbean, kanye nasekufuneni ukusetshenziswa kwezimboni kwezitshalo zasolwandle. Inselele akuyona nje ukususa ibala elinsundu ogwini, kodwa futhi nokuvimbela inkinga ukuthi iphindaphindeke njalo ngesizini ngaphandle kwesu elihlangene.
