Volunteers reported collecting 635 bags of fuel oil near Cape Tuzla.

Two volunteers managed to collect 635 bags of fuel oil in one day near Cape Tuzla and remove them from the shore. The work could have been even more effective if the volunteers had additional equipment for the all-terrain vehicle, the "Dolphins" headquarters reported.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," on January 6, the Kuban operational headquarters reported on its participation in the net cleanup, noting that no new fuel oil spills were recorded. On January 8, volunteers from the Dolphins headquarters reported a large amount of discarded garbage, as well as old and new fuel oil spills, in the Tuzla area.

Today, on the Black Sea coast near Cape Tuzla, two volunteers collected, loaded, and removed 635 bags of fuel oil from the shore, the Dolphins headquarters reported on its Telegram channel. "The work is far from complete: 20-30 cubic meters of already collected solid waste remain to be loaded and removed from the shore near Tuzla; plus, approximately 150 cubic meters of waste still need to be collected and prepared for removal," the publication states.

"To enable our Pioneer all-terrain vehicle to more effectively clear the beach of trash and solid fuel oil, we need a transverse hay rake, an adapter for it, and its adaptation to the Pioneer," another statement from the headquarters stated. Such a device will help: collect trash and solid fuel oil on the shore, and keep the shoreline clean faster and more efficiently, the volunteers emphasized, noting that the total cost of the rake and adapter will be approximately 35,000 rubles.

"Perhaps some of the farmers already have a similar rake or adapter, and you could donate this tool for working on the Black Sea coast. This would be a huge help for us," the volunteers emphasized. This message on the headquarters' Telegram channel, which has 774 subscribers, had not been commented on by 7:20 PM Moscow time.

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. 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".
