In the central Greek city of Volos, authorities are grappling with the aftermath of a significant environmental incident. Hundreds of thousands of dead fish have flooded the port, believed to have been displaced from their freshwater habitats due to intense storms and flooding in 2023. The mass die-off, linked to extreme climate fluctuations, has resulted in more than 100 tons of dead fish being collected. The cleanup effort is ongoing, with local authorities racing to mitigate the environmental and economic impact on the area, as the stench and potential damage to ecosystems threaten local livelihoods.
