A Supreme Court prosecutor has ordered an urgent investigation into the mass fish deaths that have turned the waters of Volos port blood red. The incident, captured in a viral drone video, has sparked widespread concern about its environmental, public health, and economic implications.
Authorities are battling to contain the spread of dead fish into the Pagasetic Gulf, using a 500-meter net around the affected area. Meanwhile, machines are working tirelessly to remove the dead fish, whose blood continues to flow downstream, creating a disturbing spectacle.
The prosecutor's investigation is focusing on why the watergate leading to the tunnel, the only exit for waters from the Larissa-Karla plain into the Pagasetic Gulf, was open, potentially exacerbating the disaster. The incident has garnered international attention, highlighting the gravity of the environmental crisis unfolding in Volos. As the investigation progresses, questions persist about the environmental management and protection measures in the area.
