VOLOS, Greece – Greek authorities have started collecting hundreds of thousands of dead fish that poured into a tourist port in the central city of Volos this week after being displaced from their usual freshwater habitats during flooding last year.
On Wednesday, trawlers dragged nets to collect the fish that were then dumped in the back of trucks. More than 80,000 pounds have been collected in the last 24 hours, authorities said.Passenger destroys American Airlines counter with hammer after scammer sold him fake ticket A net was not placed at the mouth of the river leading into Volos, they said. When the fish met the sea, the saltwater likely killed them.“They didn’t do the obvious, to put a protective net,” Mayor Beos said, referring to government services.
The disaster is the latest impact of extreme weather in Greece that scientists link to climate change, including higher temperatures and erratic rainfall that cause wildfires and flooding.
