Telegram users lamented the lack of action to clean the beaches of Anapa from algae.

Some beaches in Anapa are covered with algae, but no one is taking action to clean the shore, commentators noted on Telegram.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", tourists vacationing in Anapa complained that the sea is covered with algae for many meters, essentially turning into a swamp. Other commentators counter that this picture is observed here every year. At the Central beach of Anapa, to get into the sea, one must overcome several meters of algae. Commentators asked the authorities about the timeline for cleaning the shore.

Blogger Yuri Ozarovsky published a video showing the shore and entrance to the sea covered with a layer of algae.

"The beaches in Anapa have turned green today... What do you think? Meanwhile, in Vityazevo, people swam in crystal-clear water today," wrote Anapa blogger Yuri Ozarovsky on the evening of July 7 in his Telegram channel.

"I really want them to clean all this near the hotel. It's impossible to swim," wrote Alena.

"Unfortunately, in Anapa, you just have to put up with it. Or choose another place. No one is cleaning and no one will.
Wait for the sea to wash it away itself. Maybe it will be clean tomorrow, or maybe it will stay like this for a week or two. It's a lottery here," commented Yulia I.

Today he published a video of the beach near the "Grand Hotel".

"The area of the 'Grand Hotel', the beach. Unfortunately, algae," wrote the blogger.

"People have long been chuckling: the most expensive hotel and the worst beach," noted GM.

"It's always like this. I'm curious, why? Could it be that there is some kind of discharge at the bottom? A pipe? Sewage, drainage, etc.?" asked Yulia I.

"Such a natural landscape of the shore in this place. <...> The relief of the shore. Depth. Water stagnates, shallow.
Warm. A good environment for the reproduction of organisms, including algae," indicated her interlocutor.

The resort season in Anapa opened against a sharp contrast in the state of the coastline. Some beaches are open and deemed safe, while other areas are closed due to erosion, unstable ground, and ecological risks. Which beaches are ready for visitors and which pose a danger is detailed in the report "Caucasian Knot" "Beaches of Anapa: open and dangerous zones".

On December 15, 2024, two tankers with fuel oil sank in the Kerch Strait. As a result, a crew member of one of the tankers died. Additionally, there was an oil spill, leading to catastrophic ecological consequences, according to the report "Caucasian Knot" "Oil spill in the Kerch Strait".

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