A recent investigation by the Volos Prosecutor's Office has concluded that failure close the watergate at Lake Karla during recent flooding led to a massive fish kill, with over 200 tons of dead fish removed from the Pagasetic Gulf so far.

Tests, meantime, have confirmed that

the waters from the lake were not contaminated, and the quality of the Pagasetic Gulf's waters was not significantly affected.

Despite the findings, the environmental impact remains severe, and residents, especially in the Alykes area, are dealing with a strong odor from the decomposing fish. 

Experts warn of potential health risks and urge people to avoid swimming and fishing in affected areas.

The crisis has also sparked a heated political dispute, with Mayor Beos accusing Regional Governor Kouretas of mishandling the cleanup. 

The governor denies this, claiming the fish are being properly removed and incinerated.
