Installation of barriers to catch dead fish from poisoned Oder River
epa10124242 Firefighters from the State Fire Service install a flexible floating barrier on the Odra (Oder) River, aimed at catching more dead fish from its waters in Gryfino, in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, 16 August 2022. The Oder (Odra, in Polish) river is suffering from an environmental disaster after over 10 tons of dead fish were spotted floating in its waters since July, although no toxic substances were detected, Poland's climate and environment minister said. The exact cause of the mass fish die-off, which was labeled as an 'ecological disaster,' is under investigation by authorities in Poland and neighboring Germany downstream.
