サイクロン・ガブリエル後の海洋生物への影響

NIWA(国立水大気研究所)は、タイラフィティとホークスベイの海域を調査しています。その目的は、サイクロン・ガブリエルが漁業の生息地と海底生態系に及ぼす影響を評価することです。

サイクロンは海洋環境を劇的に変化させる可能性があります。これには、陸から海へのシルトの流入、海洋混合の増加、海底からの堆積物の激変が含まれます。

プロジェクトリーダーのダニエル・ルダック博士は、サイクロンによって土地や財産に目に見える被害が及ぶ一方で、海洋への影響はそれほど明白ではないと述べています。彼はこう述べています。「サイクロン・ガブリエルの後、多くの家屋が堆積物に埋もれてしまいました。同様に、私たちの海洋環境もこのような課題に直面していますが、水の動きのダイナミクスのために海図を作成することは困難です。」

NIWAのチームは、特に海洋生物が海底近くに生息する地域において、これらの影響を評価することに注力しています。

NIWAは、堆積物の最終的な休息場所を特定するために、モデルを開発しています。これらのモデルには、航海中に収集された衛星画像、海底のビデオ映像、および堆積物サンプルからのデータが組み込まれます。

4月の初め、NIWAはマルチビームソナーを用いた13日間の海底マッピング演習を終了した。研究チームは、サイクロンによる堆積物の特定を目的としていました。この活動に続いて、6月には追加のデータ収集のために19日間の海上航海が行われました。

勇気づけられることに、ルダック博士は堆積物サンプルにヤドカリや幼魚などの海洋生物の兆候があることを報告しました。

しかし、NIWAの海洋地質学者であるジョシュ・マウントジョイ博士は、海底地域によって受ける影響はそれぞれ異なると述べています。彼はこう述べています。「一部の地域では、堆積物サンプルがサイクロンの影響を示した可能性がある。対照的に、他の地域では海洋生物はごくわずかだが、木の残骸は豊富に生息していた。」

ニュージーランドの水産省がこの調査を委託しました。今回の調査結果は、サイクロンが地域の漁業に与える影響を理解する一助となるだろう。

科学・情報部長のサイモン・ローレンスは、この研究の必要性を強調しました。彼は、将来に向けて情報に基づいた意思決定を行うには、現在の水中の変化を理解することが重要であると述べました。また、NIWAは進行中の開発状況を追跡するために10月に別の航海を予定しているとも述べました
