The Express Pearl is on the verge of another catastrophe.
Chinthaka Waragoda, a renowned innovator in Sri Lanka, is in charge of removing waste such as plastic chemicals that have washed up on the coast of Sri Lanka following the sinking of the Express Pearl.
During a discussion with Chamuditha Samarawickrema on an internet channel, he had given a lengthy account of this devastation as well as the impending devastation.
He states that the chemical has already been deposited on the beach with a thickness of about 7 feet and the oil has been mixed with the sea water.
As soon as the devastation to his country’s ocean system was witnessed on television, he devised a new invention that could mitigate the devastation. The product is said to be of excellent quality and has been commissioned for beach cleaning.
There, he once again used more technology than this invention to come up with another device that can remove even the micro-plastic level waste on the beach and remove the beach waste from it.
He told the foreigners that he had the ability as well as the technology to complete the process in about two months, and had told them to estimate the cost and that it would take six months to complete the process.
He has so far spent a lot of money on this process but so far he has not received a single rupee as per the agreement with Meepa.
This new device, which he designed, also has the ability to remove micro-plastics and chemicals, which has been a big problem for these foreigners. He added that they were scared because the compensation they would have to pay would be huge. .
They have objected to the removal of the microplastics and have stated that the microplastics may have been on the same beach. Was.
But in the end, he was threatened with death by the foreigners for opposing all this.
He points out that the entire process is being carried out as required by the foreign institution and that Meepa has not taken any action against it so far.
The clean-up, which is 13.5 meters wide and 1.5 meters deep on a 100-meter stretch of coastline, has so far yielded a total of about 130,000 liters of debris, more than 15% of the sea sand. These chemicals are present in quantities at present.
Meepa has a team to assess the damage caused by the Express Pearl and so far no one has taken a single sample of the waste, he said.
Mr. Chinthaka Waragoda says that about 8 turtles have died in one day in recent days and a large part of the marine resources such as fish have already been destroyed.
It was revealed that there are about 52 tanks scattered on the seabed and that they have the technology to recover the tanks and submitted a project proposal to the Chairperson of Meepa, but they said that Sri Lanka could not have such technology.
Mr. Chinthaka Waragoda also warned of a possible catastrophe in the future and said that an American company was already planning to cut down and unload the containers on the seabed.
“We do not know what kind of chemical is in the containers, and if these boxes are cut up and piled up in this way, the ocean could be devastated,” he said.
He also requested the President to appoint a separate expert committee to oversee the destruction.
