Greece’s central port city of Volos has declared a month-long state of emergency after thousands of dead freshwater fish washed ashore on its coast and rivers. The mass die-off, which has accumulated over several days, prompted authorities to take immediate action. This event marks the second significant environmental disaster in the region this year.
In response to the crisis, local authorities have committed to providing additional funding and various forms of assistance to manage the situation and prevent further environmental damage. The cause of the fish deaths has not yet been disclosed, but the scale of the disaster has raised concerns about the health of the local ecosystem.
