Chinese vessels are flushing 'human waste' in the #SouthChinaSea. The dumping levels are so intense that the waste has formed clusters and can be seen from space.

Raw sewage discharged from more than 200 Chinese fishing vessels around the contested Spratly Islands in the South China Sea is causing extensive damage to coral reefs, Simularity, a US satellite imagery analysis firm, said Monday.

"The sewage from the anchored ships in the Spratlys is damaging the reefs, and we can see this from space," Simularity founder and CEO Liz Derr said during a digital forum hosted by the Manila think tank Stratbase ADR Institute.

"The hundreds of ships that are anchored there are dumping raw sewage, every day onto the reefs they are occupying," said Derr during the presentation, adding "when the ships don't move, the poop piles up."

The satellite images taken over five years — between May 14, 2016 and June 17, 2021— show a stark contrast in alga growth. Researchers found that 236 Chinese vessels were recorded motionless In the waters during that time period.

Peter Koning, vice president of sales at Simularity, told Insider in an email that it is not normal for vessels to stay motionless for such long periods, and that they have been monitoring the ships for months.

Excess sewage encourages the growth of phytoplankton in the water, which can cause oxygen shortages. Without adequate oxygen supply in the water, coral reefs habitats can die.

"These bacteria consume oxygen that would normally be available to the fish, creating a 'dead zone,'" Simularity said in its report. Coral reefs take up to 10,000 years to form, and barrier reefs and atolls take between 100,000 and 30 million years to fully form.

"This is a catastrophe of epic proportions and we are close to the point of no return," Derr said.

Simularity warned that it's not just coral reefs that are at risk here, but fish stocks in the South China Sea — an important food source for the region.

The Philippines, one of the claimants to the South China Sea, said it is in the process of verifying Simularity's report.

"While we are confirming and verifying these wastes being dumped … We consider such irresponsible acts, if true, to be gravely detrimental to the marine ecology in the area," Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said in a statement, per Reuters.

"China treating us as its toilet is a clear violation of both international and local environmental laws," Philippines Senator Grace Poe said in a statement, reported the Inquirer.

At least five countries lay claim to islands in the South China Sea, including the Philippines, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. In 2016, the International Court of Justice, or The Hague, rejected China's claims in the South China Sea.

A 600-foot 'garbage belt' has taken over a Chinese UNESCO world heritage site and is overwhelming local herders tasked with cleaning it up
Years of trash building up in the tourist-filled region has littered the region with swathes of plastic bags, paint buckets, cans, and even dead sheep and yaks.

"While we are confirming and veriying..."
Basically still unconfirmed and unverified accusation per the news report.
Is such pick from the ether reporting just a way to divert attention from far more serious confirmed and verified contamination?
For example, 17 million gallons of sewage spill into Santa Monica Bay last week. Four miles of beach was closed for three days.

Islands in the South China Sea is causing extensive damage to coral reefs, Simularity, a US satellite imagery analysis firm, said Monday.

It's not believable!!!! 200 fishing vessels? with how many people on each? Don't they have families? Don't they have to make money to live???

Where's Greenpeace? They're probably afraid of becoming
involuntary organ donors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unXw_TQSpFw

or plastinated cadavers:
https://img.thedailybeast.com/image/upload/v1505520351/170915-BODY-SEX-tease_bbeddj.jpg

For years, American, and Japanese fishing boats and ocean fishing ships,
commercial ships like oil tankers and container ships, navy ships and
submarines, have all dumped their human wastes directly into the sea.

They never complained about themselves. They said they are okayed with that
because they are bio-degradable, as it is the waste from the digestion of
foods discharged from the human body.

Seriously, the American complainer who wrote about it, should visit India
and write how India is devastated with human wastes. The American writer on
this should be able to smell human waste from the moment when the airliner's
door is open for alighting at the aerobridge.

The shit smell pervades throughout the aerobridge to the escalators and to
the custom and immigration areas, and even to the arrival hall.

The 1.3 billion Indians in India are dumping tons of human wastes on the
grounds polluting the air as well as underground well water.

The carbon dioxide from the human wastes has depleted all the oxygen in the
air in India. No wonder, thousands of Indians are dying of Indian Covid -
the so-called Delta variant, is now choking the country to breathlessness of
deaths.

That's something that comes up again and again, the odor of human shit upon
de-planing.

You'd think they'd have SOME natural resistance, considering all the
pathogens they're exposed to on a daily basis. Even the Chinese are
repulsed:
