Experiencing Interruptions?

White Devil

The Earth’s ocean is suffering. Styrofoam (Expanded Polystyrene) is being pointed out as the culprit. It pollutes sea water and threatens the ecosystem as marine debris having being used up. However, research or a solution is only at an initial stage being unprecedented at this time. This programme seeks an essential solution and directivity through positive methods of various experiments with styrofoam that has now became a white devil of the sea. Specifically, this programme confirms styrofoam’s micro fragmented phenomenon and organisms’ feeding problem through various experiments that have never been proved or have existed only as assumptions thus far. In the case of the organisms’ feeding problems, it has been proven that humans can actually have a harmful impact on those styroform pieces by experimenting on primary and secondary consumers, zooplankton and fish, in the food chain. This programme not only reports on environmental pollution but also finds an alternative suggestion towards solving the issues. As an active solution, replacing styrofoam buoys with bio-degradable buoys is presented in the programme.
