An operation is underway to clean up thousands of plastic nurdles spilled in the North Sea after a collision between a container ship and a US-flagged oil tanker. The incident, which occurred on March 10, resulted in one death and another missing person. The nurdles, small plastic pellets, have begun washing up on East Yorkshire beaches. Although not toxic, they pose significant risks to wildlife. Meanwhile, the ship's captain faces manslaughter charges as retrieval efforts are mobilized in response to the environmental impact of the spill.
