Foam, Fish, and Fear on River Tame | Manchester News

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

A major industrial fire in Greenfield sent foam into the River Tame, killing hundreds of fish and sparking alarm among locals. Though containment measures helped, some foam still drifted downstream, visible on the surface and breaking apart like icebergs. Residents like Craig Hannah, a former countryside warden, expressed dismay at the ecological toll, recalling the river’s past struggles and fearing this could undo years of wildlife recovery. The Environment Agency remains vigilant, monitoring long-term impacts as the foam disperses and new fish deaths haven’t been reported since Monday.
