Salt Harvest Declines Sharply - Iraq

Men work around salt ponds in Garmian, southwest of Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, on August 15, 2025. In the plains of Garmian, hundreds of residents continue an ancient salt-harvesting trade once known as "white gold." Production has sharply declined, with ponds now yielding less than a third of their former output, leaving villagers struggling against harsh natural conditions and poor infrastructure. Local harvester Peshkewt Saadoun explains that they collect two types of salt—coarse and fine—and notes that annual production has fallen from 800–900 tons in the past to about 250 tons today.

Plastic Pellets Polluting Spanish Beaches After Container Ship Spill

A volunteer from the Noia Limpa organization participates in the collection of pellets on Bos beach, January 13, 2024, in Noia, A Coruña, Galicia (Spain). Already known as the "white tide", it is expected to come from the six containers from the ship Toconao that fell into the sea in Portuguese waters. At least one of the six containers, weighing around 20 tons, is believed to contain between 800 and 1,000 25-kilogram sacks of pellets. Pellets are small plastic balls of less than five millimeters that are used to manufacture plastic products. Because of their small size and light weight, it is "almost impossible to clean them up" once they are scattered on the beaches. Photo by Elena Fernández / Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM
