Venice canals are clearing up
Venice, one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, is usually loaded with thousands of tourists this time of year, leading to cloudy canals and increased water pollution. According to local citizens of this waterlogged city, the canals are getting a much-needed break from the constant traffic and the water is becoming clearer, with fish even visible beneath the surface. Though the coronavirus is truly a tragedy, the decrease in boat traffic and break in tourism could be just what the fragile city needs to help combat pollution.
