Peru fishmeal boom shifts pollution, overfishing burden to poor coastal communities
La República (Peru)LO·PE·1 day ago

The report highlights a geographic displacement of environmental and social costs, though specific data on catch volumes or conflict incidents is not provided. This underscores a structural trade dynamic with sustainability implications.
