"Three days later, there was nothing left to salvage". At Charente-Maritime, fishermen rescued fish asphyxiated by drought.

In the Charente-Maritime region of France, fishermen have been trying to save fish suffocating due to drought conditions. The situation has become critical after three days of extreme heat and lack of water flow, leading to oxygen depletion in local waterways. Fishermen are manually rescuing fish by transferring them to containers filled with fresh water in an effort to prevent mass die-offs. This crisis highlights the severe impact of prolonged drought on aquatic ecosystems and the urgent need for environmental management strategies.
