Ezinye zezona zinto zibalulekileyo zokuchitheka kwe-oyile kwimbali yaseWashington State zenzeka kwiStrait yaseJuan de Fuca kunye noLwandle lwaseSalish.
Inqanawa yokuThola iiMpendulo zikaNgxamiseko (ERTV) ime ilungile 24/7 kumntla-ntshona we-Olympic Peninsula point kwiPort of Neah Bay ukuphendula ngokukhawuleza.Nangona kunjalo, amaza acela umngeni achaphazela ukulungela kwawo kunye nokukwazi kwesi sikhephe esinzulu sokuhamba ngejelo.
Oko sele kuza kutshintsha ngeprojekthi ye-US Army Corps of Engineers eqale nge-11 kaDisemba ukwenza uphuculo lokuhamba ngokunzulu ijelo lokungena kwizibuko.
Umbhobho we-hydraulic dredge uya kwenza nzulu umjelo wokungena oziimitha ezingama-4,500 ukuya kwi--21 yeenyawo ukusuka kubunzulu bawo bangoku, ivumela ukufikelela okungathintelwanga kokutsala okuhamba elwandle, iinqanawa ezinkulu, kunye neenqanawa ezinkulu ezidlula eNeah Bay ngexesha lokuza kwamanzi.
I-USACE kulindeleke ukuba isuse ukuya kuthi ga kwi-30,000 cubic yeeyadi zezinto zentlenga ezingazange zomiswe ngaphambili kumjelo ekulindeleke ukuba kuthathe iinyanga ezimbini ukugqiba, kuxhomekeka kwiimeko zemozulu.
"Le projekthi iya kunceda ukuqinisekisa ukuba ukuhlangula okusekelwe e-Neah Bay kukulungele ukuphendula kwiimeko ezingxamisekileyo zaselwandle kunxweme lwaseWashington," watsho u-Rich Doenges, umlawuli weNgingqi yaseMzantsi-ntshona kwiSebe le-Ecology laseWashington."Sicinga ukuba umjelo unzulu umele inyathelo eliyimfuneko lokuthintela iimpembelelo kwimekobume engaselunxwemeni yelizwe lethu kunye nokugcina unxweme lwethu lwePasifiki."
Umphathi weProjekthi yeSithili saseSeattle kunye nesazi ngebhayoloji uJuliana Houghton ugxininise indlela izinto ezotyiweyo ezilungele ngayo ukusetyenziswa kwakhona kwaye ziya kunceda ukuqinisa ulwandle olukufutshane.
“Siza kubeka ukusetyenziswa okuluncedo kwemathiriyeli eyotyiweyo kwindawo esecaleni konxweme efuna ukubuyiselwa kwisimo sangaphambili ngenxa yokunqongophala kwentlenga yomlambo eyenzeke ngokwendalo.," uthe.“Injongo kukubuyisela indawo yokuhlala ephakathi kwamaza ngokubeka izinto ezomileyo njengesondlo saselwandle.”
Ukuxinanisa ijelo lokungena laseNeah Bay kuya kunciphisa iindleko zokusebenza zokusabela ngokungxamisekileyo ngokunciphisa imfuneko yokuba iinqanawa zihlale ngaphandle kwebheyi kumanzi anzulu ngexesha lokuza kwamaza aphantsi.
