According to the research on the oceans carried out by the National Geographic, every year some eight million tons of plastic end up in the sea, which take centuries to disappear, and the beach at Fort San Gil joins every day this fateful statistic for lack of intervention.
The Malecón de Santo Domingo has recently been renovated by the City Council of the National District and also by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications, however, the local authorities and the central government have forgotten to rescue this space where hundreds of tourists, families and friends arrive to have a good time looking towards the sea, but find this unpleasant view of garbage.
Likewise, this accumulation of lilacs, bottles, organic waste and sometimes dead animals emanate in the area a pestilent stench and stagnant water.
In different areas of the country they have been placed in rivers and gorges biobardas, which are made with loop, mesh and plastic bottles to create a barrier for solid waste and thus prevent contamination from reaching the channels.
In other scenarios, the authorities have ensured the acquisition of a special mesh to retain these wastes, but so far no government agency has been interested in achieving a solution to this evil that affects all Dominicans.
Also an Internet campaign directed to the Dominican public alleges that "we are more animals" and "less human", stating that animals do not throw garbage when they go to beaches, forests and mountains, however, citizens do. Meanwhile, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in a commercial analysis in fisheries indicates that "The plastic penetrates the aquatic environment through the current and disintegrates in plastic waste of greater or smaller size
These elements normally come from untreated wastewater, as a result of inadequate industrial control or also due to inappropriate human behavior and fishing gear abandoned or lost. "
Water impact
The study points out that because of the contamination of the oceans and coasts by plastics, around one million birds and more than 100 thousand aquatic mammals die because they confuse the plastic with food that later reaches humans in the most exuberant dishes in restaurants and the homes.
Present inside marine foods
Likewise, it emphasizes that microplastics have been found in twelve of the twenty-five most important species and genera that contribute to the world's marine fisheries and pose an emerging problem in terms of "food safety due to the toxicity of plastic and its components" (polymerized monomers, additives) present in the oceans that has not been evaluated by the international scientific committees of experts.
