Volunteers reported fuel oil deposits on the shore.

Old fuel oil spills and nets left over from washed-out protective embankments have been discovered on the shores of Anapa and the Temryuk district, volunteers reported.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," scientists and authorities in Kuban acknowledged that the environmental consequences of the fuel oil spill in the Kerch Strait have not been eliminated even a year after the tanker disaster. A representative of the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported that all three cofferdams have been installed, and 29.6 kilometers of protective embankments have been constructed along the coast to protect beaches. However, the protective embankments failed to withstand the winter storms. In January, volunteers reported fuel oil spills and partial destruction of the protective embankments.

Volunteers created a Telegram bot to collect signals about coastal pollution in Anapa and the Temryuk district, which suffered from the environmental disaster in Kuban. They publish reports of discovered spills in the "Monitoring Report" Telegram channel, which has 80 subscribers.

For example, on January 27, volunteers discovered a net buried in sand near Veselovka, and a large piece of old fuel oil on the shore near the Chateau del Mare cottage community.

Today, they reported the discovery of fine fuel oil chips in an area of ​​approximately 1,000 square meters near the Seaside Village cottage community in Anapa. A net from the protective embankment, buried in sand, was also found there. Volunteers dug the network out of the sand today and assembled it, the report says.
