Thousands of pellet balls accumulate on the Galician and Asturian coasts after the shipwreck, they are not biodegradable and it is feared that fish will feed on them and then humans.

More 26.3 tons of pellets and containers with tires and plastic wrap fell into the sea from the Toconao ship on December 13, 2023.

Level two is already activated in Asturias, in Galicia level 1, even without agreeing on its responsibilities, but the important thing is to collect it and clean it as soon as possible.

Hundreds of volunteers on the community beaches to collect them and clean the Galician beaches since the pellets have already arrived in Ons, Nigrán (A Madorra) O Grove, Cangas, Canido and Villagarcia de Arousa. Volunteer groups circulate by telegram.

Ecoloxistas en Acción is going to file a lawsuit in the court of Noia against the company that owns the ship. They indicate that the bags are labeled with the name of the company Bedeko Europe.
