Watamu m\u00e1 jedine\u010dnou historii. Toto je m\u00edsto v Keni s p\u0159ev\u00e1\u017en\u011b italsk\u00fdm obyvatelstvem. \u0158\u00edk\u00e1 se mu tak\u00e9 Mal\u00e1 It\u00e1lie. Nebyl jsi tu dlouho; Bav\u00edme se o druh\u00e9 a t\u0159et\u00ed generaci. O tom, jak se sem dostali, koluje mnoho, n\u011bkdy i protich\u016fdn\u00fdch, p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh\u016f. Nejnap\u00ednav\u011bj\u0161\u00ed p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh je o sicilsk\u00e9 mafii. \u0158\u00edk\u00e1 se, \u017ee se tu usadili, aby v kvetouc\u00edch restaurac\u00edch prali \u010dern\u00e9 pen\u00edze.

Prvn\u00edm hotelem postaven\u00fdm ve Watamu byl Ocean Sports, kter\u00fd za\u010d\u00ednal jako bar na pl\u00e1\u017ei v Turtle Bay (stejn\u00e9 m\u00edsto, kde se po ztroskot\u00e1n\u00ed nach\u00e1zely \u010d\u00e1sti prvn\u00ed irsk\u00e9 rodiny) a postavil ho Ian Pritchard, kter\u00fd tam p\u0159ist\u00e1l v roce 1951. Bar byl pozd\u011bji roz\u0161\u00ed\u0159en na hotel a byl prvn\u00edm st\u0159ediskem vodn\u00edch sport\u016f.
Druh\u00fdm hotelov\u00fdm pokojem byla budova Watamu Beach s v\u00fdhledem na z\u00e1liv Watamu.
Kombinace t\u011bchto komunit s jejich odli\u0161n\u00fdmi kulturami a ekonomick\u00fdmi aktivitami dala vzniknout Watamu, kter\u00e9 z\u016fst\u00e1v\u00e1 obl\u00edbenou pr\u00e1zdninovou destinac\u00ed a mo\u0159skou oblast\u00ed bohatou na biologickou rozmanitost. Tato oblast je podporov\u00e1na organizac\u00ed Kenya Wildlife Service, kter\u00e1 v roce 1968 zalo\u017eila n\u00e1rodn\u00ed mo\u0159sk\u00fd park a rezervaci Watamu, kter\u00fd se rozkl\u00e1d\u00e1 na 42 kilometrech \u010dtvere\u010dn\u00edch pod\u00e9l pob\u0159e\u017e\u00ed a poskytuje p\u0159\u00edrodn\u00ed rezervaci pr\u00e1vn\u00ed ochranu.
V roce 1979 se Watamu dostalo v\u011bt\u0161\u00ed mezin\u00e1rodn\u00ed ochrany, kdy\u017e bylo prohl\u00e1\u0161eno za lidskou a biosf\u00e9rickou rezervaci OSN (UNMBR).
Watamu je nyn\u00ed kosmopolitn\u00ed spole\u010dnost s populac\u00ed 2 000 obyvatel a rozrostla se na 16 hotel\u016f a resort\u016f od dvou do p\u011bti hv\u011bzdi\u010dek, \u010detn\u00e9 hotely a soukrom\u00e9 vily a byla zvolena CNN Travel v roce 2012 jako druh\u00fd nejlep\u0161\u00ed pl\u00e1\u017eov\u00fd p\u00edsek v Africe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watamu ob\u00fdvali arab\u0161t\u00ed kupci, kte\u0159\u00ed na po\u010d\u00e1tku 18. stolet\u00ed dobyli velkou \u010d\u00e1st pob\u0159e\u017en\u00ed Keni. Podle archeologick\u00fdch n\u00e1lez\u016f bylo Watamu \u00fadajn\u011b os\u00eddleno ji\u017e od 13. stolet\u00ed. Svatyn\u011b a posv\u00e1tn\u00e1 m\u00edsta, nyn\u00ed ruiny, jsou obl\u00edben\u00fdmi atrakcemi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zaj\u00edmavost: V roce 2007 byl ve Watamu objeven nejv\u011bt\u0161\u00ed druh plivaj\u00edc\u00ed kobry na sv\u011bt\u011b (Naja ashei), had z \u010deledi Elapidi, naz\u00fdvan\u00fd tak\u00e9 kobra ob\u0159\u00ed. Jed tohoto druhu je sv\u00fdm slo\u017een\u00edm velmi podobn\u00fd (neurotoxiny a cytotoxiny) jako u jin\u00fdch kobry plivaj\u00edc\u00ed, v\u010detn\u011b kobry \u010dernokrk\u00e9 (Naja nigricollis) a kobry \u010derven\u00e9 (Naja pallida), kter\u00e9 se ob\u011b vyskytuj\u00ed v stejn\u00e9 oblasti. Tento druh je v\u0161ak schopen vst\u0159\u00edknout do jednoho kousnut\u00ed mnohem v\u011bt\u0161\u00ed mno\u017estv\u00ed jedu ne\u017e ten druh\u00fd. Specifick\u00e9 epiteton pro tento druh je poctou zesnul\u00e9mu Jamesi Asheovi, kter\u00fd zalo\u017eil had\u00ed farmu Watamu a byl jedn\u00edm z prvn\u00edch odborn\u00edk\u016f, kte\u0159\u00ed navrhli, \u017ee Naja Ashei je nov\u00fd druh.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
