- BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BEACHES
- Description
-
Bioremediation consists of using bacteria and enzymes to solve contamination or environmental problems. This technology allows two applications for tourist destinations in sand and water.
The application of biotechnology on beaches is centred on three uses:
- Elimination of biological remains on dog-friendly beaches. The bacteria and enzymes act on biological remains, decomposing the chain compounds into simple molecules, thus eliminating not only biological remains, but also odours.
- Treatment of seaweed. Many town councils pile up the seaweed that washes up along the coast, generating unpleasant smells and annoyance to holidaymakers. Biotechnological treatment makes the seaweed composting time much quicker, removing larvae, mosquitoes and, above all, the bad smells from decaying seaweed.
- Stains from petroleum products. In the event of the appearance of diesel or tar stains, biotechnology allows the hydrocarbon molecules to break them down, not only at a surface level, but to penetrate the earth by removing the remains to a depth of up to approximately 4 metres.
