Cleaning of protective nets on the last section of Anapa beaches has begun

Polypropylene nets have begun to be removed on the last five kilometers of the protective embankment from the Era Technopolis to the mouth of the Mozhepsin River, after which leveling and sifting will be carried out. A representative of Kuban-Spas said that the need for protective embankments has disappeared.

On the Anapa coast, they have begun to remove polypropylene nets on the last five kilometers of the protective embankment. The work began at the pier of the Era Technopolis - on the last section of the coast to the mouth of the Mozhepsin River, where the protective barrier was still in place. This was necessary due to diving operations to collect fuel oil that had settled on the seabed, which created the risk of local emissions of oil products, the operational headquarters of the Krasnodar Territory reported today.

The marine rescue service in the area of the Era Technopolis has completely completed the removal of fuel oil from the bottom. Ejector units have pumped out several dozen tons of oil products for subsequent disposal, said Igor Kulaev, First Deputy Head of the Kuban-SPAS Service.
 
"There is no longer a need for a protective embankment, since we do not expect secondary pollution of the coastline. At the first stage, we remove the protective embankment nets, after which we will move on to the second stage - leveling the territory for subsequent sifting by Anapa Resorts LLC. Three pieces of equipment are involved in the work: a front-end loader and two excavators. Over the past six months, the nets have significantly penetrated the sand after winter storms, and now heavy equipment is helping us extract them from the thickness of the beach so that they do not interfere with the operation of the sifting equipment in the future; To date, work has already been completed on a 1.5-kilometer stretch. The initial collection of nets has been carried out," he said in the video attached to the publication.
