Iraq warns of environmental crisis after fish die in Maysan
A large number of fish have died in the Mijar Al-Kabir district of Maysan Province in southern Iraq, sparking concern among residents and fishermen. The phenomenon is attributed to water pollution, decreased levels of dissolved oxygen, and rising temperatures. Experts have indicated that the discharge of contaminated water and untreated sewage significantly contribute to environmental degradation. This issue recurs across different times and areas despite ongoing warnings, leading to threats to biodiversity and substantial economic losses for fishermen. Authorities emphasize the urgent need to take measures such as increasing water releases, enhancing monitoring, and implementing rapid interventions to prevent the crisis from worsening and to protect the fish resources and food security.
