飓风加布里埃尔过后对海洋生物的影响

Share:

NIWA(国家水与大气研究所)正在研究泰拉怀蒂和霍克斯湾的海域。目的是评估飓风加布里埃尔对渔业栖息地和海底生态系统的影响。

气旋可以极大地改变海洋环境。这包括淤泥从陆地涌入海洋、海洋混合量增加以及海底沉积物动荡。

项目负责人丹尼尔·勒杜克博士提到,尽管气旋明显破坏了土地和财产,但其对海洋的影响却不那么明显。他说:“飓风加布里埃尔过后,许多房屋被埋在沉积物下。同样,我们的海洋环境也面临着这样的挑战,但由于水流的动态变化,很难绘制图表。”

NIWA的研究小组正在重点评估这些影响,尤其是在海洋物种居住在靠近海底的地区。

为了确定沉积物的最终安息地,NIWA正在开发模型。这些模型将纳入海上航行期间收集的来自卫星图像、海底录像片段和沉积物样本的数据。

4月初,NIWA结束了使用多波束声纳的为期13天的海底测绘演习。他们旨在识别气旋造成的沉积物。在这项活动之后,6月进行了为期19天的海上航行,以收集更多数据。

令人鼓舞的是,勒杜克博士在沉积物样本中报告了海洋生物的迹象,例如寄居蟹和幼贝类。

但是,NIWA的海洋地质学家Joshu Mountjoy博士说,不同的海底区域受到的影响不同。他指出:“在某些地方,沉积物样本显示出可能的气旋影响。相比之下,其他区域的海洋生物最少,但木屑却很多。”

新西兰渔业局委托进行这项研究。这些发现将有助于了解气旋对当地渔业的影响。

科学与信息总监西蒙·劳伦斯强调了这项研究的必要性。他说,理解当前的水下变化对于为未来做出明智的决定至关重要。他还提到,NIWA计划在10月进行另一次航行,以追踪正在进行的发展
