Staff drained the water from the Canal Saint-Martin until there were just 20 inches of water remaining. First and foremost, they needed to get the fish to safety. The cleanup crew fished for carp, salmon, and bream for three days in the water. They apprehended the animals and moved them to another part of the river.

Authorities took advantage of the opportunity to discuss the situation. “If everyone mucks in and avoids throwing anything into the water,” said Celia Blauel when she spoke to the MailOnline, “we might be able to swim in the canal in a few years.” She’s the deputy mayor.
