Amaqiniso Ngomzila wamanzi aseMiddle Atlantic
I-Chesapeake Bay, i-estuary enkulu kunazo zonke e-United States, ilula malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-200 ukusuka kuMlambo u-Susquehanna ukuya e-Atlantic Ocean. Ummandla womhlaba ogqitywa kwi-bay, eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Chesapeake Bay Watershed, ingamayela angama-64,000 eekhilomitha kwaye iquka iingxenye zithandathu: Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, nase-West Virginia, kwakunye neWashington DC . Imisebenzi e-Chesapeake Bay njengokuloba, ukukrazula, ukubhukuda, ukuhamba ngeenqanawa, i-kayaking, kunye nokuhamba ngomkhumbi zidume kakhulu kwaye zinegalelo elikhulu kwezoqoqosho kwezokhenketho lwaseMaldin naseVirginia.

Ukuwela i-Bay
- I-Chesapeake Bay Bridge idlula e-Maryland ukusuka eSandy Point (kufuphi nase-Annapolis) ukuya eKit Island. Ibhuloho ihamba ngeekhilomitha ezili-4.3 kwaye inamandla okuhamba ngeenqwelo ezili-1,500 ngeyure, ngeyure.
- I- Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel eVirginia idibanisa iVirg Beach Beach eKapa Charles. I-line-4-long-long-long-carle cross crossing enikezela ukufikelela ngokuthe ngqo ukusuka kwiSouth-mpuma yeVirginia ukuya kwi-Peninsula yaseDelmarva.
Amazwi anomdla malunga neChesapeake Bay
- I-Bay ibingamaekhilomitha ezili-30 ububanzi kwindawo ephakamileyo kunazo zonke kwaye i-2.8 miles kwiindawo zayo ezincinci. Ubunzulu bomyinge weChesapeake Bay bunamamitha angama-46 kwaye ubunzulu bunzulu buyi-208 inyawo.
- Kukho imilambo engaphezu kwe-100,000, iislamane, okanye imilambo kwindawo yamanzi e-Chesapeake, kuquka nemifula emikhulu eyi-150.
- Iqula le-Bay libonelela ngeendawo zokutya, amanzi, kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezidlulileyo kwiintlobo ezingaphezu kwama-3 600 ezityalo kunye nezilwanyana, kuquka neentlobo ezingama-350 zeentlanzi.
- Izigidi ezigidi ezili-500 zezilwanyana zaselwandle zivunwa kwi-Bay minyaka yonke.
- I-bay's skipjack yeenqwelo zokudoba yayisisigxina sokugcina uhambo lokusebenzisa uhambo lokusebenzisa umbane waseNyakatho Melika.
Izilwanyana zokuLwandle, iWillife kunye neZityalo zityalo
I-Chesapeake Bay iyaziwayo ngokuveliswa kwayo kwintlanzi, ikakhulukazi izibhakabhaka eziluhlaza, i- clams, i- oysters kunye ne-rockfish (igama lesithili leengqungquthela ezinqamlekileyo).
I-Bay iyindawo yokuhlala ezingaphezu kwama-350 iintlobo zeentlanzi kuquka i-Atlantic menhaden kunye ne-eel yaseMelika. Izidalwa zezilwanyana zibandakanya i-American Osprey, i-Great Blue Heron, i-Eagle Bald, ne-Falgone Falcon. Iindidi ezininzi zenza iChesapeake Bay ikhaya labo kokubili komhlaba nasemanzini.

Ukusongela nokukhusela i-Chesapeake Bay
Ingongelo ekhokelela kwimpilo ye-Chesapeake Bay i-nitrogen engaphezulu kunye nokungcola kwe-phosphorus evela kwezolimo, izityalo zonyango lweendlela zokukhutshwa kwamanzi, ukuhlaselwa kwimizi yasezidolophini nakwiindawo zasemadeni, kunye nokungcola komoya kwimimoto, iifemu kunye nezityalo zamandla. Imizamo yokubuyisela okanye yokugcina umgangatho wamanzi wangoku weBa uye waba nemiphumo edibeneyo. Isisombululo sokubandakanya ukuphucula izityalo zonyango, ukusetyenziswa kobuchwepheshe bokususa i-nitrogen kwiinkqubo ze-septic, kunye nokunciphisa izicelo zokucoca izitshalo. I-Chesapeake Bay Foundation yinhlangano exhaswa ngemali, engekho inzuzo eyenzelwe ukukhusela nokubuyisela i-Chesapeake Bay.
