- Greece is paying fishermen to catch toxic toadfish invading the warming Mediterranean
Greece is offering 5.33 euros per kilogram for fishermen to catch toxic silver-cheeked toadfish invading the Mediterranean due to warming waters. The fish, migrating via the Suez Canal, damage fishing nets and pose health risks, prompting similar programs in Cyprus. Authorities state the fish pose no danger to bathers but emphasize public health warnings.
