12 August 2022, Schwedt: A large number of dead fish are floating in the waters of the Oder River, bordering Germany and Poland, in the Lower Oder National Park, north of the town of Schwedt. According to local German authorities, a large amount of mercury was detected in the river water. According to Polish meidoenvironmental authorities, the fish mortality was probably caused by industrial pollution. Photo: Patrick Pleul/dpa
