I heard about this on NPR today... It sounds promising, but we're going to need them everywhere (just like the scrubbers in The Peripheral), and they need to be affordable! #Nanobubbles help this lakeside cope with #ToxicAlgae — and the changing climate by Caleigh Wells Jun 5, 2024 "#ClimateChange is wreaking havoc on some freshwater lakes. They’re getting warmer, and that is spawning lots of toxic algae. When the algae runs rampant like it did 15 years ago, it can kill every other living thing in the lake. Sometimes the city of #LakeElsinore, situated halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego, has to close the lake to prevent people from getting sick." [...] "Fresh water bodies across the globe are falling victim to [the toxic algae] problem as the climate crisis makes water warmer. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 40,000 bodies of water are 'impaired' just in the United States. "Lake Elsinore is the largest natural freshwater lake in Southern California. Now the city on its shores is spending $2 million to try out a new technology to fix it." Read more: https://www.marketplace.org/2024/06/05/nanobubbles-moleaer-lake-elsinore-climate-change-algae/

A climate-related mass #dieoff leaves over 100 tons of dead #fish collecting at a Greek port

VOLOS, #Greece (AP) — "More than 100 tons of dead fish were collected in and around the port of #Volos in central Greece after a mass die-off linked to extreme weather fluctuations, authorities said Thursday.

"The dead #FreshwaterFish filled the bay 320 kilometers (200 miles) north of #Athens, and nearby rivers. Water levels were swollen by #floods in 2023, followed by months of #SevereDrought.

"The die-off has hit local businesses along the seafront, reducing commercial activity by 80% in the past three days, according to Volos’ Chamber of Commerce.

"Fishing trawlers have been chartered by the regional authorities, along with earthmovers, to scoop the dead fish out of the sea and load them onto trucks bound for an incinerator.

"The fish came from #LakeKarla in central Greece, a body of water drained in the early 1960s and restored in 2018 to combat the effects of drought.

“'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.

"'Right now, there is a huge effort underway to clean up the millions of dead fish that have washed along the shorelines and riverbanks … an effort that involves multiple contractors,' she said.

"Water levels rose abruptly in fall 2023 during a #DeadlyStorm that caused extensive flooding in central Greece, but have since receded due to low rainfall and successive summer #heatwaves ."

A climate-related mass die-off leaves over 100 tons of dead fish collecting at a Greek port

Authorities say more than 100 tons of dead fish have been collected in and around the port of Volos, in central Greece, following a mass die-off linked to extreme climate fluctuations. The dead freshwater fish filled the bay, 320 kilometers north of Athens, and nearby rivers after water levels were swollen by floods last year, followed by months of severe drought. Fishing trawlers have been chartered by the regional authorities, along with earthmovers, to scoop the dead fish out of the sea and load them onto trucks bound for an incinerator.
