Climate change cause mass die-off of fish in Greece: "There are millions of dead fish"

The Greek port city of Volos has declared a state of emergency after being completely flooded with dead fish. Pictures show how huge amounts of fish have accumulated along the coast and in rivers. The stench is described as unbearable and tourists have left the area.

“There are millions of dead fish all the way from Lake Karla and 20 kilometers (12 miles) eastward,” Anna Maria Papadimitriou, the deputy regional governor of the central Thessaly area, told state-run television, AP News report.

Authorities in Greece have linked the mass die-off to extreme weather fluctuations due to climate change. The mass die-off occurred after a nearby lake flooded last year, followed by a severe drought this summer that forced freshwater fish into the sea, where they cannot survive.

The stench must be unbelievably bad. 

We will probably see more and more of these mass die-off events as the effects of climate change worsens.
