Volunteers will install oil spill containment nets in the Tuapse village of Tyumensky.

Volunteers reported on the purchase of special nets for the detention of petroleum products using funds received through express collection. They will be installed at sea by volunteers from the Tyumen headquarters in Tuapse.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" reported, a fundraising campaign was launched on Telegram to install oil-repellent nets on the beaches of the Tuapse village of Tyumensky. The required sum, 80,000 rubles, was raised in less than a day.

Fundraising for the purchase of oil spill nets was done using the account details of the "Volunteers of the SSL" volunteer headquarters from Anapa, which took on the purchase of the nets and ropes and will also help with their installation. Volunteers from the Tyumen headquarters in Tuapse will install them at sea, according to the Telegram channel "Priyom! Khroniki," which reports on volunteer activities in Tuapse.

In a video published by the Telegram channel, a female volunteer reports that they have purchased 40 nets, which will be dismantled and installed at sea.

The nets are needed to capture oil-containing pollution in the coastal zone and prevent it from spreading further. This method has already been used during the cleanup of oil pollution on the Black Sea coast and has proven its effectiveness as an additional measure to protect the water area.

Volunteers emphasized that the installation will be carried out by people who already have practical experience working with such structures, which is very important. After use, the nets will be removed and transferred for disposal in accordance with the established procedure with the support of local services.

On May 1, a fire started at the Tuapse sea terminal after a drone attack. It was extinguished on May 2. This fire is the fourth in Tuapse since April 16. Earlier, on April 24, after booms broke due to rising water levels in the Tuapse River, an oil spill occurred into the Black Sea. On May 27, another attack on the seaport was reported. A series of attacks on Tuapse's oil infrastructure has led to environmental consequences, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Fires and "oil rain": the main information about the environmental disaster in Tuapse".

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

All beaches except the city beaches have been cleared of oil spills, and work continues there, the Tuapse administration announced, reporting on final preparations for the resort season. A total of 69 beaches, including 11 public ones, are open. Volunteers continue to clean up fuel oil spills in Tyumensky and Nebug. Oil-soaked booms washed up on Primorsky Beach in Tuapse, and the beach of the former Vesna boarding house hasn't been cleared of oil, despite the authorities' announcement that the resort season has opened.

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