Seabin Using Plastics to Fight Plastics
According to Seabin Using Plastic to Fight Plastic (2019),
Seabin Project states that microplastics and microfibres are one of the
greatest threats to the marine ecosystem. They collect organic pollutants
faster than inorganic particles where marine animals will mistake them as food and
eventually "travel up the food chain" and "reaching our plates". The article states that microplastics and microfibres are plastics pieces that are smaller
than 5 mm. The Seabin Project mentions that Seabin Technology captures and
removes all surrounding debris and microplastics. A study was conducted and
observed that Seabin was able to remove finer plastics, of sizes 2 to 5 mm in
diameter. A comparison was conducted with Mantra trawl and a modified Seabin
filter. Mantra trawl is the standard sampling method where a special net is
dragged behind a boat. The article mentions that the physical traits of the
samples are near identical and both are effective in sampling microplastics. As explained in the article, the reason why Seabin is a preferred method is that it is reliable, time-saving and inexpensive.
Dear Syafiq,
ReplyDeleteGlad to be able to see your 2nd draft so that refer and share with you some points and hope you do as well
you wrote the part where you as "as food and eventually "travel up to food chain" and "reaching our plates"."
as food, eventually travel up to food chain" and "reaching our plates".
you squeeze too much information in one sentences maybe you could break it down a little
