Thousands of dead fish washed ashore at Mourteri Beach on the Greek island of Evia on Friday morning, prompting concern among local residents and beachgoers over a possible environmental incident.
The shoreline and large sections of the beach were covered with dead fish, creating a disturbing scene that drew widespread attention. Visitors attempted to remove as many fish as possible, but the sheer volume made cleanup impossible without assistance from the relevant authorities.
A local resident described the situation as unprecedented, saying beachgoers collected as many fish as they could, but the number was overwhelming.
The cause of the mass fish die-off has not yet been determined.
Authorities and environmental experts have not established whether the incident is an isolated event or linked to broader environmental factors that require further investigation.
