- 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 Bahía 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.
