‘Better safe than sorry’: Greece installs floating barrier to ward off toxic fish

Greece has taken a proactive step to protect its beaches by installing a floating barrier to keep out toxic long-toothed pufferfish, which are migrating due to the climate crisis and warmer Mediterranean waters. This barrier aims to safeguard swimmers from the potentially deadly venom of these fish, which have become more common in the region. The move highlights the broader implications of climate change on marine ecosystems and human safety, as warming waters disrupt traditional habitats and bring dangerous species closer to populated areas.
