Development of racks for maximization of biological harvesting of N and P from sea and marine through aquatic birds producing resource guano

Abstract

Huge increase of global population was creating stress on terrestrial ecosystems which worry food policy thinkers and planners. Biological nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) harvesting was an innovative research development using well accepted and circulated data about seven decades before, which was accepted as innovative way of linking hydro, fishery, aquatic birds, agriculture and environment. This linkage made easy way of opening vast ocean and marine resources harnesssible for extracting organic macro nutrients for agriculture and industrial products. Objective of this study was to develop racks for enabling harvest of the guano. Study facilitated birds social and stochastic and heuristic on inspire design for racks for sitting of aquatic birds and collection of bird droppings in daily routines. The architecture of racks and materials of construction were developed. It was suggested to launch operational research project on harvesting of guano for intended use. Thus new world was created to harness sea resources for innovative product to benefit agriculture, industry and environment by effective use of vast ocean and other existing aquatic systems. This research created new dimension of linking ocean, fish, birds, agriculture, environment and human life easy and reducing stress on terrestrial ecosystems.
