Greece installs floating barrier to prevent toxic fish from entering waters, prioritizing safety
Greece has installed its first floating sea barrier in Evia to protect swimmers from toxic, invasive pufferfish, which have migrated into the Mediterranean due to rising sea temperatures. The barrier aims to prevent the fish, known for their dangerous jaws and neurotoxin, from entering popular swimming areas and poses a proactive response amid concerns about ecological and public health risks associated with climate-induced species spread. Authorities also plan to implement fishing and eradication programs to control the pufferfish population, which has increased due to warming waters from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal.
