26 Jan 2023 --- French authorities are hunting the culprits of a recent mass plastic pellet spill off the coast of Brittany, which is believed to have come from a shipping container somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Environmentalists say the pellets – also known as nurdles – have been appearing across the north-west French coastline since last year. Recovering the pellets entirely is said to be impossible as the quantity and area size is too large, according to Lionel Cheylus, spokesman of the Surfrider Foundation.
