A gri gri unloaded approx 5 tons of "dashkas", a tuna-like fish, shocking local residents who speak of ecological disaster. Local authorities are going to ask the prosecutor for help, to clarify whether the heron "squeezed" the herd in the bay of Galaxidi, where fishing by mechanical means is prohibited. The incident happened two days ago. A grunt, derived, according to testimonies, from Patras, "moored" in Galaxidi and unloaded a huge amount of fish. "They were selling them as much as they were, 2 euro per kilo instead of 8-9 what is their value", says the owner of an adjacent tavern. "After a while a truck came and took them away, rather to be sold on the fish ladder".
The image of fish piled up on the pier disturbed the residents of Galaxidi, especially those dealing with the sea. "We believe that the gri gri “squished” the herd in the Chrissian Gulf, where fishing by mechanical means is prohibited, and peeled it off. Otherwise he would have gone to another port, in Patras or Corinth, to unload", argues Tasos Drosopoulos, vice-president of the Chrissian Gulf divers' association and member of the federation of ecological organizations of the Corinthian Gulf "Alkyon". "People are very upset, professional fishermen cannot make a living and they see this devastation. Corinthiakos is overfished and trawlers and trawlers should not have been allowed anywhere". The club "Alkyon" will appeal to the prosecutor, in order to request information from the Ministry of Shipping about the "stigma" of the specific gri gri, to clarify whether he fished in a prohibited area or not.
