Greece’s Ministry of Rural Development and Food is preparing a series of measures to address the increasing presence of pufferfish, known locally as *lagokephalos*, in Greek waters. This initiative marks the first phase of a broader plan to manage the invasive species. Details of the specific measures have not yet been fully released, but the ministry indicates a comprehensive strategy is forthcoming. The rise in pufferfish populations poses a potential threat to the marine ecosystem and local fisheries. The plan aims to mitigate these risks and protect biodiversity. Further announcements regarding the implementation and scope of the measures are expected soon. The ministry is prioritizing a coordinated response to this growing environmental challenge.
