Hundreds of Chinese fishing vessels illegally occupying the Philippines’ Spratly Islands are allegedly dumping vast amounts of human waste into the surrounding South China Sea causing an ecological “catastrophe” that threatens the health of local marine ecosystems and fishing stocks, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
“Swarms of Chinese vessels have dumped human waste and wastewater for years in a disputed area of the South China Sea, causing algae blooms that have damaged coral reefs and threatened fish in an unfolding catastrophe,” Liz Derr, the co-founder and CEO of Simularity Inc., told reporters on Monday.
Simularity Inc. is a software company that creates artificial intelligence (A.I.) technologies for satellite imagery analysis. The U.S.-based company recently published satellite images of Spratly Reef that allegedly show how illegal Chinese fishing fleets “anchored in the Spratlys are dumping raw sewage onto the reefs they are occupying.”
Satellite imagery reviewed by Simularity Inc. indicates that “at least 236 ships were spotted in the atoll … on June 17 alone,” Derr told journalists at a Philippine online news forum discussing China’s illegal actions in the South China Sea on July 12.
“When the ships don’t move, the poop piles up,” Derr said, adding that monster algae blooms caused by the sewage are “so intense you can see [them] from space.”
“This is a catastrophe of epic proportions and we are close to the point of no return,” she warned.

Obviously Trump’s fault.

Would it help if we increased taxes on the American middle class?
Why isn’t Scoldilocks over there asking them How Dare You !?!
China want the South China Sea because there’s a humongous amount of oil there, if they coat the surface with turds it will just be that much more of a deterrent and won’t hurt the oil a bit.
The Huangpu River that runs thru Shanghai has been an open sewer for years, “Pu” indeed.
“Scoldilocks.” I love that and shall steal it. :)

You saying jen psakee is a planet?
LOL - those are good too. She’s an annoying little snot and so is the bartender from NYC.
Grrrrrrrrr. Her and her ‘nude green eel’.
I’ve read that the number on my license plate is visible from space.
Seems like a crappy way to build new islands.
In theory with a large enough aperture and active optics resolving down to 1 to 2 cm resolution is possible from low orbit. Think Hubble space telescope sized mirror only nation technical means level of raw technical force would accomplish such things. I have seen xx cm level space imagery good enough to tell if someone is wearing a two piece or not on a beach and if they are sunburnt or not.
China showing itself to be the grungiest nation in the world.....dumping toxins in the air and seas! Soon they’ll match India!
