Telegram users found the cleanup on beaches far from the center of Tuapse insufficient.

Pollution remains on the beaches of Shepsi, the Elektron sports camp, and the village of Novomikhaylovsky. A shortage of volunteers exists in some areas, Telegram users reported.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," sections of the Black Sea coast near Tuapse contaminated by oil products from the local oil refinery are being cleaned unevenly: active work is underway near city infrastructure, but remote and "wild" beaches are being neglected, local residents and volunteers stated. A satellite image captured stains in the sea from Shepsi to the port and the Tuapse city beach. The spots do not necessarily mean that there is an oil slick on the water, but film pollution has been recorded there before, the Transparent World project noted.

Questions about the condition of beaches in various locations in Tuapse are regularly raised on the Telegram channel "Razliv na svyazi" (Spill on the Line), which was created after the oil tanker disaster in the Kerch Strait and now covers Tuapse's beach cleanup efforts.

"Are there emissions in Agoy? Probably not a good idea to go there with a child either," wrote Jenny.

"What about Shepsi?" " Anna asked. "How far in the direction of Shepsi did the pollution reach?" Alexey inquired. "Although everyone wants to book early, the situation can probably change anywhere—storms, currents, the sea is still cold, and in the summer, you never know what will happen," Milla stated. Tatiana Bogomolova posted a video from the beach in Shepsi, showing small stains on the pebbles. "Right behind the Shepsi train station today, there are stains on the pebbles, but the water is clear," she wrote.

Daria Nechaeva also posted a photo from the beach in Shepsi. In one photo, the pebbles are densely covered with black stains, while in another, small stains are visible.

"There are some emissions, the beach was cleaned up a bit, and what wasn't cleaned up, they just covered it with clean pebbles. But there are also new small emissions," Evgenia described the situation in Shepsi.

Chat users reported emissions in other places as well.

"The Elektron sports camp village. The coast is stained with fuel oil," writes Viktoria Falman.

The photo attached to the publication shows large black stains.

The Telegram channel "My Tuapse" published an appeal to residents of Novomikhaylovsky to come out and clean the shore.

"Novomikhaylovsky. Rostov and Stavropol are shoveling with us today on the shore of the wild beach, Cape Guavga." The text says that people from these cities recently cleaned the shore in the village of Tyumensky. "They were able to come from far away. But what about us, Novomikhaylovsky residents? The bags are heavy, we don't have enough men," the authors noted.

A regional emergency is in effect throughout the Tuapse Okrug . For information on emergency assessment criteria, response levels, structures, and resources for eliminating the consequences, please see the Caucasian Knot document "Emergency Situation Regime (ES)".

Materials on the consequences of the fuel oil spill have been collected by the Caucasian Knot on the page "Eco-disaster in Kuban".
