Hūnā ʻo Bahía de los Ángeles, ma Baja Kaleponi, i lalo o kāna wai i kahi honua kupaianaha o nā ʻano wai ma lalo o ka wai a me nā kahakai, he paʻakikī ka hapanui o lākou e loaʻa i nā wahi ʻē aʻe ma Mexico. Mai hōʻoki i ka mahalo iā lākou!
I 1951 ka mea kākau moʻolelo ʻO Fernando Jordan Ua hana ʻo ia i ka huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi ʻole ma mua o ka penikala ʻo Baja Kaleponi e wehewehe nei i nā mea kupaianaha o ka mea āna i kapa ai ʻo "Mexico ʻē aʻe." Hōʻike kāna moʻolelo i kahi ʻano manaʻo i ka manawa 650 km ma ka hema o Tijuana ua ʻike ʻo ia i kekahi o nā kihi nani loa o ke kahakai ʻo Baja Kaleponi. Ua hiki mai ʻo Ioredane i Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles, momi o ke kūlohelohe ma ka moku waena o ka Kai o Cortez.
ʻO ka puka o nā Mokupuni Nui o ke Kai Kūʻono o Kaleponi
I ka hōʻea ʻana i Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles mai ke alaloa transpeninsular ka ʻāina i ka weliweli. Ma hope, ka hoʻokau Mokupuni Angel Angel (ʻo ka lua o ka nui loa ma ke kai ʻo Kaleponi, ma hope o Isla Tiburon) e hoʻopuni ana i nā mokupuni liʻiliʻi a me nā mokupuni i hoʻopuehu ʻia i loko o ke kai kūʻono. Coronado a i ʻole Smith Island, i ka ʻākau e hōʻike ana i kahi cone lua pele kiʻekiʻe he 500 m, ukali ʻia ma ka hema e Iwi poʻo poʻo, Louse, Paw, Pāpale, Hunchback, ʻĀlika, Kī, Loka, Pukaaniani, Ke poʻo o ka lio Y Nā Māhoe. Ma ke ʻano kūpono ʻike ʻia nā mokupuni a pau mai ke alanui, ma mua pono o ka iho ʻana i ke kaona.
ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o nā mokupuni a me nā kahawai o lalo o ka wai e hoʻoulu i nā kahe kai ikaika, ma kahi o ka hana nui a me ka waiwai biologie i loko o nā makahiki he nui i hāpai i ka hoihoi o ka poʻe ʻepekema a me ka hoihoi o nā huakaʻi, ʻO Fernando Jordan, lele lākou i kēia paradaiso.
Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles i noho mua ʻia e cochimíes. Ka ʻImiʻāina Francisco de Ulloa holo ma kahi e kokoke ana i 1540, akā ʻo ka ʻO Iesū Juan Ugarte ka Paniolo mua i iho i lalo i ka wahi, i ka makahiki 1721. I ka makahiki 1759, ua hoʻomaka ʻia ke kai kūʻono e like me ke awa pae no nā mea a me nā lako i hoʻohana ʻia i Mission o San Borja, aia ma 37 mau mile mai ke kahakai.
I ka 1880, nā waihona nui o kālā, ka mea i hoʻoikaika i ka wehe ʻana o kekahi mau mines. I kēlā manawa ua hiki ka heluna kanaka i 500 mau kānaka, akā ua hiki kēia ulu ʻana i kona piko ma kahi o 1910, i ka wā i luku ʻia ka ʻāina e nā filibusters. ʻOiai ka hapa nui o nā mea minia i haʻalele i ka ʻāina, ua hoʻomau kekahi mau prospecting a i hoʻokumu ʻia paha i nā mahiʻai. He nui nā kupa o kēia manawa o Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles iho lākou mai kēlā mau paionia paʻakikī.
I kēia manawa, noho ʻia ke kūlanakauhale ma kahi o 300 mau kānaka, hoʻolaʻa nui ʻia no ka lawaiʻa ʻana, ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana a me ke kālepa ʻana, ʻoiai ua aneane like ka helu o nā ʻAmelika i kūkulu i ko lākou noho hoʻomaha a hoʻomaha hoʻomaha paha ma aneʻi.
PARADISE NO KA HUAKAIʻI ME KA PALAPALA
Kakaikahi na wahi ma ka Kahawai o california waiwai nui i nā pua a me nā holoholona Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles. I kekahi o kaʻu kipa ʻana, ua kono mai kahi lawaiʻa iaʻu e mākaʻikaʻi i ke kai kūʻono i loko o kāna moku. Pīhoihoi wau, ma hope o kekahi mau minuke o ka hoʻokele, ua ʻike mākou i kahi manō kohola nui e ʻau mālie ana i ka papa. ʻO kēia ʻano pōʻino ʻole no ke kanaka, ʻoiai, ʻokoʻa ka ʻohana hopohopo, hānai wale ia i nā holoholona liʻiliʻi a me nā limu i hana ʻia ka plankton. ʻO kona waha, ʻoiai hiki ke ʻaneʻane i hoʻokahi mika ka laulā, nele i nā niho, no laila e kānana ʻo ia i ka meaʻai ma o kāna gills. Ma kahi huakaʻi pōkole ua hiki iā mākou ke ʻike ʻewalu manō kohola ʻākoakoa kēlā ma ka wēlau hema o ke kai kūʻono, kahi e hoʻopili ai nā kahawai i ka plankton.
ʻO nā wai o ke kai kūʻono kekahi puʻuhonua no ka kohola fin, ka lua o nā holoholona nui loa i noho ma ko mākou honua, ʻoi aku wale nō ma o kohola polū. Nui a lehulehu kekahi nā ʻāpāpā, a ma nā mokupuni kekahi mau kolone o liona kai.
I loko o Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles ka heluna kanaka o pelikani ʻeleʻele mea nui loa o Kahawai o california. Mai ka moku aʻu i nānā ai ua uhi ʻia nā kahawai a me nā pali o kekahi o kēia mau mokupuni e punana pelika. ʻAi nui kēia manu kai i nā sardine e hopu ia kokoke i ka ʻili, e hoʻohana ana i ka momona o kāna mau kula. I ka pūnana ʻana, maʻalahi ka pelicans i ka haunaele o ke kanaka, no laila pāpā ʻia e iho ʻole i kēia mau mokupuni i ke kauwela, i ko lākou wā hānau.
ʻO kekahi manu o ka nani kū hoʻokahi a maʻalahi hoʻi e ʻike ma ia wahi ʻo ia ka ʻaeto lawaiʻa, he laha e kūkulu i kona mau pūnana ma nā pali kiʻekiʻe loa o nā mokupuni o Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles. ʻAi maoli ka osprey i ka iʻa, no laila kona inoa. No ka huli ʻana i kāna mea pio, lele ia ma luna o ka wai a loaʻa iā ia kahi kula, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi i ka wai pāpaʻu. A laila hemo i loko o ka luʻu a luʻu i loko o ka wai, e hopu ana i kāna mea pio me kāna mau māiʻuʻu. I ka wā o ka pūnana ke kuleana o ke kāne no ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka meaʻai, ʻoiai e noho mau ana ka wahine i ka pūnana e pale ana i kāna mau pua mai ka lā a me nā mea ʻino.
Kiʻi ʻia e nā wai emerala, ka pae ʻāina o Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles maikaʻi ia no ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana kayak. Mokupuni Coronado ʻo ia kekahi o nā punahele no hoʻomoana a loaʻa iā ia kahi hiʻona kū hoʻokahi o kahi nui lagoon hoʻopiha i ke kai nui a ninini i ke kai haʻahaʻa, e hana ana i kahi muliwai ʻoiaʻiʻo ma o ka mokupuni.
Hele nā "kayakers" he nui i nā huakaʻi he nui i ka pae ʻāina holoʻokoʻa, a ʻo ka mea ʻike loea loa e hele i kēlā me kēia mokupuni, a i ka mokuʻāina ʻo Sonora. Eia nō naʻe, koi kēia ʻano ʻano huakaʻi i ka mākaukau loa a me ka ʻike o ka makani kūloko a me nā kahe, no ka mea, ʻike ʻia ka ʻāina e nā loli kū koke.
Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles He wahi kaulana loa ia no lawaiʻa haʻuki i loko o nā moku me ka motuka waho a i ʻole nā moku nui. Aia ma waena o nā lāhui nui loa ka mackerel lio, tuna, marlin a me dorado.
KE KAHU MARINA
ʻO ka manu kuhukukū ua hoʻohana ʻia lākou i kahi ala hoʻomau e nā lāhui ʻōiwi o ka ʻāina no nā kenekulia. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka lawaiʻa ʻana o nā makahiki he hala i hala aku nei ua alakaʻi aku lākou iā lākou i kahi kokoke i ka make. Mai ka 1940 ua hoʻomaka ʻia kēia ʻano e hoʻohana kalepa ʻia, ma nā makahiki 1960 i lilo i mea nui i loko Mekiko, a i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 1970, ua emi ka hopu ʻana.
Ua hopohopo e pili ana i ka emi nui ʻana o nā heluna honu, ma mua o 20 mau makahiki i hala i hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo Antonio lāua ʻo Beatriz Reséndiz ma Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles ka mua Ke kikowaena no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana o nā honu kai Komohana Hema o Mekiko. Kēia hana, kākoʻo ʻia e ka Kula Kaiwai Lawaiʻa Lāhui, ua lilo i haʻamau no ka mālamaʻana i nā koina kai kūʻono o ke kai kūʻono.
ʻO ka Kahua hoʻomoana ʻo Tortuguero Loaʻa iā de los Reséndiz he mau kipa he nui, e like me nā haumāna, nā ʻepekema a me nā mākaʻikaʻi, i hele mai e nānā i ka honu i ka lawe pio ʻana i loko o ke ʻano o nā loko i kūkulu ʻia ma kahakai. Ua ʻae kēia keʻena hoʻokolohua ʻokoʻa i ka biology a me ka physiology o nā kuhukukū e aʻo kikoʻī ʻia, a ua alakaʻi ʻia i kahi hoʻokolohua o ke koʻikoʻi honua holoʻokoʻa.
I ʻAukake 1996 ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi honu i lawe pio ʻia e ka Reséndiz ma ke kai Pākīpika o Baja Kaleponi. ʻO "Adelita", i ka bapetizo ʻia ʻana o ka honu, ua hoʻokomo ʻia i kahi transmitter e ʻae ai i ka ʻike i kona wahi. Hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻia, a ma hope o ka uhi ʻana 11,500 km ma kela aoao o ka Pakipika, ua hiki aku o Adelita i ka ʻO Senday Bay, i loko Iapana, ke hōʻike nei no ka manawa mua i ka hiki a me ke ala neʻe o nā honu. Ua hāʻawi ka loaʻa i kahi impetus hou i ke kikowaena Tortuguero o Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles, ka mea e haʻi mau nei i ka wahi e pono ai e hōʻoki i ka lawaiʻa clandestine a hana pū i ka mālama ʻana i kēia mau holoholona maikaʻi.
I KA WĀ E HIKI MAI
Kakaikahi nā wahi o ka honua i ka like ʻole o ke ola kai a me ka nani o nā hiʻohiʻona e like me Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles, ka mea e hāʻawi iā ia i kahi huakaʻi nui a me ka ʻepekema hoʻokalakiko. I ka pane i kēia hiki, mau nā hōkele, nā hale kūʻai a me nā hale ʻaina. Eia nō naʻe, ke kuleana o ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia mau kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe kekahi i ke kuleana nui, no ka mea pono ia e hoʻohana i kēia mau kumuwaiwai me ka ʻole o ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana i kā lākou mālama ʻana no nā hanauna e hiki mai ana.
Ke hoʻomaopopo nei i kēia kūlana, nā kamaʻāina o Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles a me ka hui mālama Pronatura paipai i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ʻO Bahia de Los Angeles National Park. E hoʻopuni ana kēia wahi kūlohelohe hou i nā mokupuni a me ka ʻāpana kai o ke kai kūʻono, e lawelawe ana ma ke ʻano he mea e hoʻoponopono a hoʻonui i ka hoʻomohala hoʻomau ʻana o ka lawaiʻa kalepa, lawaiʻa haʻuki a me ka mākaʻikaʻi i kēia wahi. E pōmaikaʻi kēia i ke kaiāulu kūloko, e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana i ka mālama ʻana o kēia mea nani o ke kai o Cortez.
KA HELE ANA I BAHÍA DE LOS ANGELES
No ka mea ʻO Tijuana hiki ʻoe i Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles e ke alaloa transpeninsular. 600 km i ka hema e lawe i ka lālā i ka hikina ma ka parador i kāhea ʻia Punta Prieta, ka mea i māka māka. Kahawai ʻo Los Angeles Aia ia ma 50 km mai ke alaloa transpeninsular a pāhola ʻia ke ala.
