The pellet dumping, which took place earlier this year, has helped raise awareness of the seriousness of the problem plaguing the Spanish coastline.
Ecologists in Action has placed 48 “black flags” on the Spanish coast for poor environmental management and pollution, focusing this year on the Canary Islands because of tourism and urbanization.
Since 2005, Ecologists in Action has been carrying out the report “Black Flags” , a new edition of which they presented this Wednesday at the Canarian Center for Popular Culture after checking more than 8,000 kilometers of the Spanish coast and which provides a total of 48 alerts.
This decision contrasts with the 638 blue flags awarded by the Association of Environmental and Consumer Education (Adeac) for the best beaches to visit in Spain. This recognition is due to the good condition of the water and the high level of services, as well as the safety of vacationers.

The Nordic country, along with Japan and Norway, authorizes the hunting of these animals.
Iceland, Japan and Norway continue to hunt whales, a family of cetaceans “essential” to the oceans and their biodiversity, which for centuries suffered from culling that decimated its population to the point of near extinction until environmental protests began and a moratorium was signed. succeeded in halting the extermination.
The International Whaling Commission (IWC), meeting in Brighton, UK, signed a moratorium on whaling in 1982, which came into effect three years later and was adhered to by Spain; however, due to legal loopholes in the document, several countries continue to allow their capture.
In the case of Iceland, environmentalists expressed their disagreement with the “unnecessary” decision announced this week by the Icelandic government to allow the hunting of 128 more whales, when there are several endangered species of whales that, according to Greenpeace, have led to the extinction of three million specimens in the last century alone.
Among the most endangered is the Basque or Basque whale (Eubalaena glacialis), so named because it was a staple catch of whalers in northern Spain from at least the 8th century until its near extinction in the early 20th century: only a few hundred specimens now remain.

A report by UNICEF and the U.S. Health Impact Institute says 8.1 million people will die globally from this cause in 2021.
Deadlier than tobacco, diabetes or unsafe water. In the fifth edition of the State of the World’s Air Report, released today, air pollution is the second leading cause of death worldwide after hypertension and malnutrition among children under five. The document, prepared by the U.S.-based Health Effects Institute in collaboration with UNICEF, shows for the first time that 8.1 million people worldwide died from air pollution in 2021 alone, and that 700,000 of those deaths were children who were not affected by air pollution. It also details that 500,000 of the latter died because of air conditions in a place that should have been safe for them: their homes, due to the use of polluting cooking fuels, mostly in Africa and Asia.
