The Port of Volos in Greece has been inundated with hundreds of thousands of dead fish displaced from freshwater during last year's flooding.

According to Reuters, authorities in the central Greek city have started collecting dead fish from the tourist port.

The officials announced on Wednesday, August 28, that they had discarded more than 40 tonnes of fish in the previous 24 hours.

Stelios Limnios, a local council member, told Reuters: "It spans km. It's not only on the coast, but also in the heart of the Pagasetic Gulf."

Furthermore, during the press conference on Wednesday, the mayor of the city, Achilleas Beos, claimed that the smell of the dead fish is unpleasant, criticising the government for not dealing with the problem.

Mayor Beos blasted the Greek government, saying, "They didn't do the obvious, which is to put a protective nett."

Furthermore, Dimosthenis Bakoyiannis, a restaurant owner near Volos Beach, stated that tourist turnover fell by 80% following the inundation.

Stefanos Stefanou, president of the local restaurant and bar association, expressed concern that "the situation with this dead fish will be our death." "Who will visit our city after this?"
