Kuze kube manje, ososayensi baphinda baphinda bakhulisa izidalwa ezingozini ngenxa yabantu.
Ukhukhamba lolwandle, obizwa nangokuthi ama-skins noTrepangs, adume ezimakethe zase-Asia nase-East Africa - athengiswa ngesimo sobuhle obungama- $ 80 (cishe ama-ruble ayizinkulungwane eziyisithupha) ngekhilogremu. Ngenxa yokubanjwa, inani lezinto eziphilayo liyancishiswa: kusuka ezinhlotsheni eziyi-1150 eziyisikhombisa zisongelwa ngokunyamalala, kepha zisengozini eyisishiyagalolunye.
Phambilini, abantu bebengaqageli ukubaluleka kwamakhukhamba olwandle kanye nezinduna zazo ezinhlelweni zamadwala, zaphawula i-Reef Ecologist kanye nombhali ophathelene nocwaningo lwe-Gotus Vincent Raul. Manje ukubaluleka kwezinto eziphilayo kusobala.
Amakhukhamba olwandle adle ama-microorganisms amunca imali esihlabathini. Izinduku zazo zilusizo ngake zaba khona kanye izakhamizi zasolwandle eziningana. Zigcwele ungqimba oluphezulu lwenhlabathi, enikeza indawo ephephile yama-crustaceans. I-FECES "Faka Umanyolo" Amanzi nge-nitrogen edingekayo ekukhuleni kwe-algae, futhi i-calcium carbonate-ekhishwe i-carbonate inomthelela ekukhuleni kwamathambo amakhorali, ngenxa yokuqothulwa kwawo ososayensi abashaqisa hhayi ngonyaka wokuqala.
Ama-deposits ezitsheni zamakhorali kungenzeka adlule kaninginingi ngekhukhamba lolwandle, "Ngakho-ke, ukunyamalala kwalezi zidalwa kuzoba nomthelela omubi endalweni yezemvelo," kufakwa raul.
Ukuze uqonde ukuthi mangaki ukhukhamba wasolwandle anikeza impilo yezixhobo zamakhorali esiqhingini sase-Australia saseHeron eQueensland, ososayensi babalwela ngesandla. Kusuka esikebheni noma ngosizo lwe-snorkeling, "baqopha yonke ikhukhamba lolwandle ohlezi" - kwathatha isikhathi esiningi nocwaningo olunamanzi.
Muva nje, ochwepheshe baqala ukusebenzisa ama-Drones anamakhamera wokuxazulula okuphezulu. "Ngosizo lwedatha kusuka kuma-Drones kanye nama-satellite, singakwazi ngokushesha futhi ngokunemba okuphezulu ku-MAP izindawo ezinkulu zeReef," kusho uRaoul. Engxenyeni eseningizimu ye-Barrier Reef enkulu, ososayensi bafunda insimu yamamitha ayizinkulungwane ezingama-27 babeka izithombe ekhadini. Ngosizo lwama-drones, kwavela ukuthi amakhukhamba acishe abe yizigidi ezintathu zasolwandle ahlala engxenyeni engaphakathi neyangaphandle yeReef.
Ngemuva kwalokho ososayensi baphinde babuyela ekuqoqweni kwedatha yencwadi. Babuke amakhukhamba olwandle futhi baqoqa izindunduma zabo ukubala ukuthi malini ukuchitha isilinganiso esikhiqizayo. "Njalo ngehora sathatha isipuni saqoqa ama-granule amancane e-fecal," kusho uRaoul. Ngokusho kososayensi, ngosuku, ikhukhamba yolwandle ibiza amagremu acishe abe ngu-38 ama-FECES, ngonyaka - amakhilogremu ayi-14. Amakhukhamba ayizigidi ezintathu akhiqiza amathani ayizinkulungwane ezingama-64 ngonyaka, ososayensi aqhathaniswa nesisindo semibhoshongo emihlanu ye-Eiffel (ngokweminye imininingwane, isisindo cishe silingana nemibhoshongo eyisithupha).
Ososayensi baqhathanisa isisindo solwandle ikhukhamba izinduku ngombhoshongo we-eiffel ngenxa yobuzwe bomunye wabo: "Ngingumuntu waseFrance," kusho uRaoul.
