Isn't this the start of tourist season in Venice? The National Post had the "waters turned green" story yesterday. And the pictures show the water to be fluorescent green.
The Post says that environmental groups have been colouring monuments, including vegetable charcoal to turn the waters of Rome's Trevi fountain black in a protest against fossil fuels.
It started as a patch - a "verdant blob" according to CNN. So far it has been identified as a type of dye that is used to trace water leaks.
This is the Vogalonga boat event, so there are lots of spectators to observe the spectacle. No one has come forward so far.
The last time Venice's water got a lot of press was during the pandemic when the waters cleared up and dolphins were swimming in the harbour. |
