Proposals
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines contaminated water as water whose
"composition has been modified so that it does not meet the conditions for the use
that would have been intended for it in its natural state." The port beaches have a
high level of pollution causing social and health problems.
Intercultural education can play a fundamental role in raising awareness and
mitigating pollution on the beaches of Puerto Escondido, Mexico. Here I present
three proposals for educational solutions that can help address this problem
effectively:
1.- A crucial aspect is what is dumped on the beaches of Puerto Escondido. The
treatment, recycling and reuse of wastewater must be increased. Connect all homes
to the sewer system and reduce pollution of storm drains. Wastewater should be
seen as a resource, which must be used safely and sensibly to avoid health
problems.
2.- A good idea for the reduction of this problem is to make people participate in the
solution of this problem, doing it in a fun way, where from the youngest to the oldest
can have fun and be part of a little grain of help for the beaches of Puerto Escondido.
The idea is to put a whirlpool filtering microplastics from the sand, it consists of
reducing the garbage that the sand of the beach contains and where the majority is
part of it day by day. This idea has been applied in different countries, the best thing
about this is that it can be made with recyclable material, the importance is to reduce
pollution.
3.- Another proposal is a trash fishing tournament. In Puerto Escondido, exists a
fishing tournament very famous and important in this city. The idea is make the
collection of microplastics and plastics a fun and visible action,as well as the fishing
tournament, make it a fun practice of social interest, especially for young children,
who are the future of Mexico.This dynamic would consist of taking people of all ages
into the sea and removing the greatest amount of plastic from the corals, the ocean
floor, etc.; and at the end, the boat with the most plastics wins the tournament.
For the first proposal, the information was collected from a new report on the
Caribbean Sea, where its inhabitants depend on the “blue economy,” which includes
tourism and fishing.
A World Bank report “Marine pollution in the Caribbean: not a minute to lose”,
reveals that around 80% of pollutants come from land, while more than 320,000 tons
of plastic waste remain uncollected each year in the blue waters and white sands of
the Caribbean beaches. The degradation of coral reefs and marine pollution in the
basin represents an annual loss of between 350 million and 870 million dollars.
One of the proposals discussed in this report is to revive untreated sewage
discharges. The economic impact of marine pollution must be better understood to
prioritize and guide changes in pollution control policies. This requires common
standards to measure existing and potential losses.
For the second proposal, a German company, Wasser 3.0, was taken into account.
This company believes it has found the answer to cleaning up microplastic pollution
before it reaches the ocean, using a hot tub and a specially developed hybrid silica
gel.
The process involves creating a vortex in a water tank. A compound is added, called
Wasser 3.0 PE-X, which acts as a binding agent, gathering the microplastics into
popcorn-shaped clumps that rise to the surface and can be removed with a strainer.
"The removal technology is very simple," says Dr. Katrin Schuhen, inventor and
founder of Wasser 3.0, adding that the process can be used in any type of water,
from freshwater and seawater to industrial and wastewater. .
Wasser 3.0 wants this technology to be used as a new step in wastewater treatment
plants or industrial processes. With current technology, microplastics from
toothpaste, skin care products or clothing do not tend to leach into sewage plants,
according to the United Nations Environment Programme, and are released directly
to the ocean, lakes or rivers.
Wasser 3.0, founded as a company in 2020 after starting as a university research

project, is already in operation at a municipal wastewater treatment plant in
Landau-Mörlheim, Germany, and at a paper processing factory, together with other
customers. industrial plants currently in operation. feasibility studies. During a
12-month test at the Landau site, about 600 pounds of microplastics were removed,
Schuhen says.
The third proposal took into account a group called KIMO, which since 2009, the
KIMO group, a northern European environmental group, has been recruiting
fishermen in areas of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Sweden and the Faroe
Islands for a similar program, called Fishing for Litter.
The Indian program may have broader potential, based on "the fact that it is the
fishermen who take the initiative," says Pahl. In his research, he has discovered that
the most effective environmental initiatives are those carried out by the community
itself and those that are intrinsically motivated; This means that they are motivated
by altruism and love for nature and wildlife.
"It's really powerful, because the fishermen are in a very good position to convince
the rest of the community (their families, neighbors) of the dangers of plastic," he
explains.
And that's exactly what they are doing. Many of the fishermen in Kollam Harbor say
that nine months of the program has significantly reduced the amount of waste
caught in their nets. And they hope, ultimately and as a community, to stop the flow
of plastic that ends up in the ocean. To achieve this, the 5,000 have committed to
reducing personal use of plastic, or at a minimum, ensuring it ends up in a recycling
plant and not the ocean.
