Mantabin can collect plastic, paper, metal and glass wastes including microplastics up to 2 mm on the sea surface. Mantabin has a capacity of 25 kg per day to collect surface waste. It can collect 9.125 Kg of waste annually. Mantabin cleans surface water waste without causing any harm to sea creatures.
- Waste should be prevented from entering the sea. Waste management facilities should be established on the coasts of public or private enterprises.
- Awareness raising activities should be carried out on marine waste, and the public and private sectors should cooperate on this issue.
- Beach cleaning and training programs should be established.
- Projects that will ensure plastic waste recycling should be created.
- Programs that increase waste collection and recycling efficiency should be encouraged.
Sea wastes are mainly human-made garbage floating on the sea surface or suspended in water. Approximately 80% of these wastes are plastic. When all plastic wastes such as plastic bags thrown into the sea, they threaten wildlife and fish basins.
It is estimated that 300 million tons of plastic is used per year worldwide, and approximately 2%, ie 6 million tons, is released into the seas after this use. In Turkey, where you belirtiliyor.de 144 tons per day into the sea of plastic waste in plastic not no rest for a long period in water, they are revealed microplastic divided up into smaller pieces that we see. People also consume these microplastics through seafood. Plastic waste damages natural life and plays a role in the extinction of some marine creatures.
We must take precautions by fulfilling our duty to prevent wastes, which take a long time to disappear spontaneously in nature, to the seas. It is the responsibility of all of us to be sensitive to the increasing problem of sea pollution and waste islands and not to harm nature.
Marine pollution is a type of environmental pollution caused by chemical, industrial, agricultural and domestic wastes pouring into the seas or mixing them into the water bodies on the earth. The reason for this destruction in the marine ecosystem is that foreign matter or energy is released to the marine environment directly or indirectly by humans.
"Environmental pollution" is the intensive mixing of foreign substances that affect the life activities of the living elements of the environment negatively and cause structural damages on non-living elements and spoil their qualities with air, water and soil. The rapidly increasing human population increases the needs, and the extent of the damage caused by the pollution created by man to the nature and the environment is increasing day by day. With the developing technology and industry, the production and applications made to meet the increasing needs damage natural resources, water, air and soil in rural and urban areas. With the deterioration of the ecosystem, plant, animal and human health are destroyed, causing irreversible destruction of nature.
