View notes
Environment
In May 2021, the regional Ministerial Health Secretariat of Chile initiated six sanitary summaries for foul odors against this company and five other fishing companies in Coronel following complaints from local residents, according to Biobío Chile. Foul odors in Coronel have been a long-standing issue for decades, prompting the municipality’s Environmental Directorate to set up a WhatsApp number for reporting complaints. Thanks to coordination between residents and authorities, concrete sanctions were imposed on the companies affecting the community’s quality of life, said Javier Valencia, director of the municipality's Environmental Department. The companies involved were: Camanchaca Pesca Sur, Alimentos Pesqueros, Pesquera Fiordo Austral, Orizon, Blumar, and Ewos Chile.

At least 8,700 people lived within a half mile of this plant, over 1,600 of them under the age of 15, while more than 150,700 lived within a five-mile radius, of which over 28,200 were under the age of 15, according to 2025 data from World Pop, a research institute based at the University of Southampton. This matters because it gives a sense of how many neighbors experience the quality of life concerns and health impacts of the foul stench of rotting fish and other toxic chemicals released into the air.
