POSCO creates artificial reefs from steel slag in sea of Japan
In early may, the largest South Korean company POSCO established on the seabed 100 so-called "Tritons" (the Greek God of the sea, in this case means artificial reef made from slag), and 750 "trifonovich" blocks. All this gave rise to a new "Maritime forest", which in turn is designed to absorb carbon dioxide and give food to the marine inhabitants.
More material
the Most surprising thing in that entire process used by the waste industry in the form of slag with the necessary minerals for the growth of algae. Moreover the artificial reef can withstand any marine disasters (typhoons, tsunamis).
brief History
POSCO in early December last year explored the area around ulleung-do island, which is located in the sea of Japan and chose the best places for the cultivation of marine forests.
the Future
POSCO plans to further Refine marine fertilizer, which will yield a contribution to the restoration of aquatic ecosystems, which in turn will lead to increased profits from local fishermen.
