Tons of fish die in Polish canal as toxic algae bloom spreads alarm

Dead fish have been removed from Poland’s Gliwice Canal after a toxic algae bloom. This event mirrors the devastating 2022 ecological disaster in the Oder River system. Authorities are monitoring the affected waters to prevent further spread of the harmful organism. Elevated salinity and warm temperatures create conditions for golden algae to flourish. Scientists warn climate change may increase the likelihood of such ecological crises.
