Authorities in Volos, Greece, have reported a significant environmental crisis as more than 100 tons of dead fish have been collected in and around the port area. The mass die-off is believed to be a result of extreme climate fluctuations that have impacted the region.

The dead freshwater fish have filled the bay of Volos and nearby rivers, following a series of events that began with floods last year and were exacerbated by months of severe drought. The situation has had a profound impact on local businesses, with commercial activity along the seafront reportedly reduced by 80% in just three days.
