Straw

Next to one of Scotts Huts in Antarctica can be seen a pile of straw
or chaff. Because of the strong winds and occasional handling by
humans and penguins the straw appears to be disintegrating and
spreading its load over a wide area.  Has anyone any experience to
relate or advice  for the Antarctic Heritage Trust (who look after
this site).  We have considered some type of netting but realise it
must be invisible, closed and not endanger any species on the ice.
Has anyone any thoughts?
