Urgent Call to Action from Greek Fishermen Amidst Rising Sea Challenges

Fishermen from the Fishers’ Association of Korseon, ‘O Glaros,’ are sounding the alarm over the threats to their livelihoods, citing increased populations of invasive species like Lagocephalus and Pterois, which damage fishing gear and deplete local fish stocks. They express concern over illegal fishing practices by Turkish fleets and rising fuel costs. The association is urging authorities to take concrete actions, including fuel price reductions and compensation for damages caused by wildlife and bad weather. A recent parliamentary inquiry has highlighted these challenges, prompting discussions on managing invasive species.
