The Dominican Republic can apply responses to lessen the effect of sargasso on the tourism sector, which would create merit over other Caribbean countries to attract tourists after the opening of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The expected responses allow harvested sargazo to be used as raw curtains for other industries to produce biological fertilizers and biomass to generate energy, and would also create jobs by hiring local labor to operate the machines.
“From now on, it is imaginable to take advantage of these tourist situations to make the Dominican Republic the first Caribbean country loose or with less effect on sargasso, which would allow it to have a differentiating detail of its competence as Mexico. and Jamaica, which also face sargon problems,” explained mechanical engineer Andrés Bisono.
He understands that competitive responses will have to be incorporated to prevent sargamy from reaching Dominican beaches as a component of the recovery plan of the tourism sector, creating a bad joy for tourists.
He noted that in collaboration with American scholars, Alexander Slocum and Luke Gray have developed two types of machines to solve the sargassum challenge well at the lowest cost imaginable. The machines were created after studies that began in June 2018 at the leading American university. the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
He said they had studied the sargon and how to treat it to affect the marine environment and ecosystem.
This led to the creation of two machines, one to collect Sargassum from the higher seas and immerse it in the depths of the sea (stay there and complete its life cycle), and to collect Sargassum before he dies. get to the coast.
Bison explained that both systems are state-of-the-art and download foreign patents in the United States.
Last year, their studies and progression led them to use a shipment from the Dominican Navy to adapt it to the machines of the deepwater sargamzo harvesting formula and see its functionality, now they are committed to offering these facilities in personnel. This commission was held by public and personal institutions.
He added that the machinery to collect sargons off the coast creates jobs as artisan boats are used, the concept is to use fishing crews, making it a tool to generate jobs and solve a problem.
He pressed that he sought to draw attention to the sargon at the moment, which seeks to reactivate the tourism sector. “It can’t necessarily be through us, but through the search for the right device to provide an effective service. “or solution at the lowest cost imaginable, ” he said.
He said competitive responses will be sought to combat sargamousness and jobs will also be created.
