Authorities have announced the absence of new fuel oil emissions in Kuban.
Monitoring from November 22 to 27 revealed no new fuel oil emissions in Anapa and the Temryuk district, the task force announced.
As reported by Kavkazsky Uzel, on November 22, authorities reported that diving inspections of the sunken fragments of the Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239 tankers revealed no oil product leaks. Also, no new oil spills were reported on the coast of Anapa and the Temryuk district over the past week.
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 has begun. Over the course of four days, from October 22 to 26, a 23-kilometer protective embankment was erected along the main beaches in Anapa.
No new fuel oil emissions were recorded on the beaches of Anapa and the Temryuk district from November 22 to 27. This is the result of daily coastline monitoring, the Krasnodar Krai task force reported today on its Telegram channel.
Specialists are currently continuing to work on the beach areas and "monitor the condition of the special embankment," the report stated.
The Krasnodar Krai task force also published photographs of the beaches in the village of Vityazevo and the Malakhit boarding house in Anapa, where a delicate cleanup is underway on one section of the coast.
Volunteers regularly report new fuel oil emissions and Old deposits discovered. On November 19, the Dolphins headquarters reported that fuel oil residues had been detected in the Surov area, posing a danger to the ecosystem and living organisms. "Despite the fact that the territory is within the federal emergency zone, no cleanup work is being carried out in this area," the volunteers emphasized.
Only two volunteer headquarters remain on the entire coast of the Temryuk district, attempting to clean up the large fuel oil deposits. However, without government support and an influx of new people, the task is becoming insurmountable, the Dolphins headquarters reported.
As a reminder, 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. In addition, 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".
"Caucasian Knot" also reported that, over the next two years, Kuban authorities planned to transfer more than 439 million rubles to the budgets of Anapa and the Temryuk District to restore beaches after the fuel oil spill.
