Fuel oil spills occurred on the shore in Anapa.
Small fuel oil spills were discovered today on the seashore in the village of Blagoveshchenskaya and on the Bugayskaya Spit.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on October 24, volunteers discovered fuel oil spills in Anapa and the Temryuk district. Environmental activists began cleaning up the fuel oil spills, and authorities brought in local administration staff. On October 27, minor fuel oil spills were discovered near Taman.
On October 23, Kuban authorities announced that a fuel oil slick weighing up to 900 tons was moving across the Black Sea toward the shores of Anapa and the Temryuk district. Restoration of coastal embankments and ditches in front of them has begun. Over the course of four days, from October 22 to 26, a 14-kilometer protective embankment was erected along the main beaches in Anapa.
Today, "fine fractions of fuel oil" were detected near the Malakhit boarding house in the Anapa village of Blagoveshchenskaya, and "isolated inclusions of oil product droplets" were detected on the Bugaz Spit, the Kuban task force reported on its Telegram channel.
"Contamination cleanup efforts have begun at all sites. There are no new emissions at other coastal sites. Work continues on the beaches in the village of Vityazevo to gently clean the sand and restore protective nets, some of which were damaged during the storm," the publication stated.
In the village of Volna, which is located in the Temryuk district near Taman, there were no emissions today. Environmental activists reported on the Telegram channel of the Dolphins volunteer center that the pollution has been recorded. "There is clean seaweed and some storm debris on the shore. The situation is stable," the report noted.
As a reminder, in August, satellite images showed that the Black Sea was continuing to be polluted with fuel oil from sunken tankers. Most of the fuel oil settled to the seabed, including in the area of Taman, Anapa, and the Bugay Spit, scientists concluded.
On December 15, 2024, two tankers carrying fuel oil sank in the Kerch Strait. A crew member of one of the tankers died as a result. Additionally, an oil spill occurred, leading to catastrophic environmental consequences, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Fuel Oil Spill in the Kerch Strait".
Materials on the consequences of the fuel oil spill have been collected by the "Caucasian Knot" on the page "Eco-disaster in Kuban".
