Environmental Crisis in Chiloé Island in Chile (Video)

Activists and researchers from Greenpeace Chile have travelled to Chiloé Island to document the crisis caused by the mass mortality of marine species on the coast of Chile. In the last month alone, thousands of marine animals including birds, crabs and seals have washed ashore, dead, on Chiloé’s beaches. The call for an investigation comes after approximately five thousand tons of rotting salmon was discharged from salmon farming centers into the ocean on the largest island of the Chiloé Archipelago off the coast of Chile, in the Pacific Ocean.
