Dead Fish Blanket Greek Tourist Port After Massive Flooding

VOLOS, Greece – Greek authorities are working to remove hundreds of thousands of dead fish that have inundated a tourist port in Volos, following last year’s severe flooding. The decaying fish have formed a silvery blanket across the water, emitting a strong odor that has raised concerns among locals. Over 80,000 pounds of fish were collected in just 24 hours, with officials warning of potential environmental risks if the situation isn't addressed promptly. The flooding, linked to extreme weather events tied to climate change, continues to impact the region's tourism industry.
