  • Authorities have removed over 160 tons of dead fish from the waters around Volos.
  • The die-off is attributed to freshwater fish being forced into saltwater after severe flooding.
  • Local businesses are severely impacted, with an 80% drop in tourist traffic.
  • Special nets and cleanup crews have been deployed to contain and remove the fish.
  • An investigation has been launched to determine the cause and prevent future occurrences.
