Kua Whakatakotoria e Ahitereiria ngā Pūoko Kounga Wai ki te Reef o Great Barrier

Kua whakatūria e te kāwanatanga o Ahitereiria ētahi pūoko ki ētahi wāhanga o te Great Barrier Reef hei hopu i te kounga o te wai.

E 344,000 kiromita tapawha te rahi o te Papa Ārai Nui i te takutai raki-mā-rāwhiti o Ahitereiria. He rau ngā moutere me ngā mano tini o ngā hanganga taiao, e mōhiotia ana ko ngā papa ākau.

Ka ine ngā pūoko i ngā taumata o te paru me ngā rauemi waro e rere ana mai i te Awa o Fitzroy ki Keppel Bay i te kawanatanga o Queensland. Kei roto i te taha tonga o te Great Barrier Reef te rohe. Ka taea e ēnei matū te kino i ngā mea ora o te moana.

Ko te tari kāwanatanga o Ahitereiria, ko Commonwealth Scientific, te kaiwhakahaere o te kaupapa. E ai ki te tari, ka whakamahia e te kaupapa ngā pūoko me ngā raraunga amiorangi hei ine i ngā panonitanga o te kounga wai.

E ai ki ngā tohunga kei te mōrearea te kounga o ngā awa takutai me uta o Ahitereiria i te mahana haere o te pāmahana, te noho tāone, te whakangaromanga o ngā ngahere me te parahanga.

Ko Alex Held te kaiārahi o te kaupapa. I kōrero ia ki te VOA he kino ngā paru ki ngā mea ora o te moana nā te mea ka ārai i te hihi o te rā mai i te papa moana. Ka pā kino te kore o te hihi o te rā ki te tipu o ngā tipu moana me ētahi atu rauropi. Ka tau hoki ngā paru ki runga i ngā tihi o ngā toka korara, ka pā kino hoki ki ngā mea ora o te moana i reira.

I kī a Held ka whakamahia ngā pūoko me ngā amiorangi hei ine i te whai huatanga o ngā kaupapa hei whakaiti i te rere, te rerenga rānei, o te paru awa ki te moana.

I kī a Held kei te whakahaerehia e te kāwanatanga o Ahitereiria ētahi kaupapa e aro ana ki te whakaiti i ngā pānga o ngā paru ki ngā mea ora o te moana. Kei roto i ēnei ko ngā mahi ki te pupuri i ngā tipu kia tupu i te taha o ngā awa me ētahi atu wai hei ārai i ngā paru.

Kua whakatūpato ngā kaitiaki taiao kei te tūtaki te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa ki ētahi tūmomo mōrearea. Kei roto i ēnei ko te huringa āhuarangi, te parahanga me te rerenga o ngā hua ahuwhenua. Ko te moana-nui-a-Kiwa – e 2,300 kiromita te roa – kua whakaurua ki te Rārangi Taonga Tuku Iho o te Ao o te Kotahitanga o ngā Whenua o te Ao mai i te tau 1981.

He maha ā mātou momo pūoko kounga wai, e whakamahia whānuitia ana i roto i te ahumahi, te ahuwhenua ika, te tiaki taiao me ētahi atu mara.
