Chadwick Lakes becomes fish graveyard as water evaporates

Aug 24 2021

Excessive heat has led to evaporating waters which in turn caused Chadwick Lakes becoming a fish graveyard. The Environment Resources Authority (ERA) revealed that it is looking into the matter and revealed how initial statements point to the fish dying due to warm evaporating waters.

This is unfortunately a yearly tragedy when the dry season hits. Alien fish and freshwater animals introduced into the ponds are the creatures affected the most. ERA also urged people not to release any aquarium fish in local freshwaters due to them becoming invasive species.

A post released onto the famous ‘il-kabocc u xwejha’ Maltese Facebook group shows the horrific scene. Group creator Christopher revealed how his friend went to Chadwick Lakes only to find hundreds of deceased goldfish. He slammed authorities for leaving the fish there for people to see, despite not allowing people trying to save them with nets.

Today’s wholesome story involves a young boy opening a lemonade stand to help all the dogs at Noah’s Ark Dog Sanctuary. With the help of Gerbulin residents, Timmy’s lemonade stand was a great success as he collected money to buy food and deliver it to the sanctuary personally.

The young hero’s mother Barbara posted to Facebook, detailing how Timmy headed over to Paws N Claws to buy the food and fed some of the dogs himself.

Animal shelters all across Malta have been working hard night-and-day to provide the necessary nourishment and love to all the canines. Small acts such as these, which involved a traditional lemonade stand and a heart of gold, bring joy and help to many – and not just human lives! Well done Timmy!
