Bloggers have called for the removal of the remaining nets from the ramparts in Anapa.
The nets left on the shore in Anapa after the storm destroyed the protective embankments are no longer functioning properly and should be removed from the beaches before the next storm, bloggers noted.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot," the protective embankments hastily erected in Anapa in the fall of 2025 were virtually destroyed by strong storms and are no longer functioning properly, volunteers noted. Bloggers countered that berms and nets are a good way to protect beaches from fuel oil if they are constructed properly and regularly maintained, noting that fuel oil emissions were found behind the berm after the storm.
The environmental consequences of the fuel oil spill in the Kerch Strait have not been eliminated even a year after the tanker disaster, scientists and Kuban authorities acknowledged. A representative of the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported that all three cofferdams had been installed, and 29.6 kilometers of protective berms had been constructed along the coast to protect beaches. On January 1, after a strong storm, bloggers reported new fuel oil emissions and partial destruction of the protective berms. After the storm, protective nets are scattered along the shore in Anapa and the Temryuk district. In some places, they're covered in sand, in others, they're at the water's edge and could be carried out to sea, bloggers reported. The "Nets, Sieve, Shovel" headquarters has cleaned up the nets torn from the protective embankments by strong waves.
Blogger Max Anapsky published ten photographs today of nets remaining on the shore after the protective embankments washed away. "The Ministry of Emergency Situations, Kuban-SPAS, Anapa Resorts LLC, and the Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergencies of the Krasnodar Territory must remove the nets; another storm is coming soon," he wrote.
The next storm will begin on January 9th. By morning, the average wave will be 1.7 meters. It will last for several days, the logger noted, citing meteorological service data. "By January 9th, in a parallel universe where there is a federal emergency, the garbage and nets will definitely be removed," he remarked ironically.
Blogger Yuri Ozarovsky reported that protective embankments are being built again on the beaches. "On Dzhemete, they're building another embankment on the beach of the former Ellada, the current Kanikuly, and for some reason they're burying the nets in the sand. It seems they're against beach cleanups by sea." "Should the prosecutor's office intervene? Why is this equipment ruining the beach?" he asked today on his Telegram channel.
This message had garnered 13 comments by 12:14 Moscow time on the blogger's Telegram channel, which has over 49,000 subscribers.
"The sea and another storm will wash away the entire wave again!" Roma is confident.
"I wonder if anyone will be held accountable for these unnecessary waves and nets on all the beaches that were washed away by the storm? It turns out that the work was completely useless. "And now the beaches are all covered in nets; they all have to be dug up again," Larisa was indignant.
This situation in Anapa is unclear. It seems like the administration doesn't care about its region! It's possible to clean everything up, but it has to be done! It seems like someone is profiting from this," commented Albert Istomin.
"We need to file a collective complaint with the prosecutor's office," Andrey believes.
