Marino Morikawa is a Peruvian-Japanese environmental scientist (b. 1977) who developed an original decontamination process applied to bodies of water using nanotechnology. Career His work became well-known when a short NatGeo news reportfeatured him for the decontamination process that successfully restored the small Lake El Cascajo in Chancay, Peru, his home town , using what he terms "bubble nanotechnology. " He had already researched this process, however, he had never tried it before. His father contacted him when he heard that there were plans to cover the lake due to the fact it was so thoroughly contaminated. The recently graduated Morikawa decided to travel to his childhood home and decontaminate it himself. Many residents warned him that the lake was so fouled that he would get sick, but he ignored them. Decontaminating the lake took him 15 days. Because of his efforts, more than 70 species of birds and fish returned to the area, as well as people.
