Summary In the second episode of "Sen de Fark Et," Engin Altan explores the enchanting Phi Phi Islands of Thailand, which have been closed to tourists to protect marine life and population. Alongside experienced guide Naffa Billateh, they investigate the threats posed by human activity to the natural beauty of the islands, particularly focusing on the dangers to underwater life from plastic waste. The journey continues to Koh Lan Island, known for its beaches and year-round tourism. Here, Engin Altan uncovers a stark contrast at the island's peak: a garbage center that reveals the ugly truth behind the tourist paradise. The mountains of waste left by visitors threaten the island's natural splendor. Engin Altan meets with Kesinee Yupapong and Jittakorn Pukdeepunya from the Koh Municipality Environmental and Human Health Unit to learn about their efforts to clean, secure, and preserve the island. Preparing for a dive near the Phi Phi Islands, Engin Altan and professional diver Treesak Somanawat collect single-use plastic waste from the ocean depths and observe the alarming decline of coral reefs and the exodus of fish from the area. In the United Kingdom, at Coventry University, Engin Altan meets with marine life experts studying the impact of plastic on fish and birds. The research reveals the dire future of these species, as evidenced by the plastic waste found in bird stomachs and the high levels of microplastics in fish. Engin Altan then discusses the future of underwater life with Neil Robinson and Howard Wilson, who work in the fishing industry in Phuket. They investigate the traces of marine life in the open sea and gather information on illegal fishing. Neil Robinson and Mike Bailey, having left their lives in England, have settled in Thailand and established a natural fish farm in Phuket. Engin Altan visits the farm to discuss the future of marine life, highlighting that the issues of illegal fishing and toxic waste are not unique to Thailand but are also present in Malaysian fish farms. Traveling to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Engin Altan visits a special fish farm in the port area. He learns from the farm's owner, Syed Ahmad Putra, about the health threats posed by illegal recycling plants that dump toxic waste into local waterways. The episode also addresses the controversy in Malaysia over waste containers shipped from Western developed countries to Kuala Lumpur's port. Engin Altan meets with Heng Kiah Chun from Greenpeace Southeast Asia and visits the waste-filled Klang port amid public protests. The episode exposes the illegal acquisition of areas like Klang, Sungai Petani, and Janjarum for profit. Engin Altan and Heng embark on a journey to meet with the local community in Sungai Petani, where Engin Altan questions whether recycling is truly an effective solution to the plastic waste problem. The episode concludes with a look at the state of recycling and waste management in developed Western countries and the health hazards posed by illegal recycling centers in Sungai Petani, which have filled living spaces with toxic toxins, causing public outrage and health threats. "Sen de Fark Et" episode two is a deep dive into the global issue of plastic waste, illegal recycling, and the urgent need for sustainable solutions to preserve marine life and protect human health from the dangers of environmental pollution.
