Umphathi weNkonzo yeHlathi yase-USDA, uTom Tidwell, usanda kuthetha kwi Umbutho waMahlathi aseMelika intlanganiso yonyaka. Nantsi into awayithethayo ngamahlathi asezidolophini nasekuhlaleni:
“Ngenxa yabemi baseMerika abangaphezu kwama-80 ekhulwini abahlala kwimimandla emikhulu, iNkonzo Yehlathi iwandisa umsebenzi wethu kwiindawo ezinjengeNew York, Philadelphia, neLos Angeles. IMelika ine-100 yezigidi zeehektare zamahlathi asezidolophini, kwaye ngokusebenzisa yethu Inkqubo yamaHlathi eziDolophini nasekuhlaleni, sibonelela ngoncedo kuluntu lwe-8,550, ikhaya labantu abangaphezu kwesiqingatha sabemi bethu bebonke. Injongo yethu luthungelwano oluqhubekayo lweendawo ezinamahlathi aphilileyo, ukusuka kwiindawo ezikude zentlango ukuya kwiindawo zasezidolophini ezinomthunzi, iipaki, kunye neendlela eziluhlaza.
Olunye ubambiswano lokubuyisela kwiindawo zasezidolophini yi-Urban Waters Federal Partnership. I-White House yazisa ngokusesikweni intsebenziswano ngoJuni ophelileyo eBaltimore. Ibandakanya i-11 yee-arhente zomdibaniso ezahlukeneyo, kwaye yenzelwe ukubuyisela impilo yeendawo ezinamanzi asezidolophini, uninzi lwazo lunamahlathi ngokuyinxenye. Iziza ezisixhenxe zokulinga ziye zakhethwa, yaye iNkonzo Yehlathi ikhokela kwezintathu kuzo—eBaltimore, apho iqula loMlambo iPatapsco neeNgxangxasi zaseJones zikwimimandla yasemaphandleni esemantla nasentshona; eDenver, apho sisebenza kunye neDenver Water ukubuyisela imihlaba yamahlathi eyonakaliswe nguMlilo weHayman ngo-2002; nakumntla-ntshona we-Indiana, inxalenye yommandla omkhulu waseChicago, apho sisebenza eChicago Wilderness.”
