As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote on July 25, the operational headquarters reported that systematic mechanized cleaning of beaches has been completed on 9.5 kilometers of the Anapa coastline.

Mechanized cleaning of beaches continues in Anapa. On August 7, work is underway in Vityazevo. The total length of the cleared area - from the Medical Beach of Anapa to the Central Beach of Vityazevo - was 10.5 kilometers, the operational headquarters of the Krasnodar Territory reported today.

Alexander Zverev, deputy head of Anapa Resorts LLC, reported that the cleaning is carried out in six stages: first, leveling the surface, then sifting the sand; then deep processing with a plow with a double turn of the sand; after this, the territory is leveled again. At the final stages, Puma 2200 and Puma 1600 beach cleaning machines are used for the final cleaning of oil products. Every day, 10-11 units of special equipment are used.

He also asked vacationers "to be careful and not to approach the operating equipment to avoid interference and for safety."

The author of the Telegram channel "Makovozovy" published a video this morning of equipment sifting sand in Vityazevo. "Finally, the equipment has reached here. At this rate, they will reach Blagoveshchenka in six months," he noted.

As can be seen from the video, there are employees on the beach who do not allow vacationers onto it, but people in bathing suits are moving along the seashore against the backdrop of working equipment.

Recall that Rospotrebnadzor has recognized 141 beaches in Anapa and nine beaches in the Temryuk district as unsuitable for recreation. There are signs with information about the ban on swimming, announcements about this are also displayed on video screens in different areas of Anapa.

In addition, government officials patrol the coastal areas and ask vacationers not to visit these places. When checking into hotels and sanatoriums, tourists are required to sign written notices about the ban on swimming and health risks.
