Authorities reported no new fuel oil emissions in Kuban.

From November 2nd to 6th, shoreline monitoring in Anapa and the Temryuk district did not detect any oil spills.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on October 23rd, Kuban authorities announced that a fuel oil slick weighing up to 900 tons was moving across the Black Sea toward the shores of Anapa and the Temryuk district. Restoration of coastal protective embankments and ditches in front of them has begun. Over the course of four days, from October 22nd to 26th, a 23-kilometer-long protective embankment was erected along the main beaches in Anapa. By October 24th, volunteers had already detected fuel oil spills in Anapa and the Temryuk district. Environmental activists have begun cleaning up fuel oil spills, and authorities have recruited local administration staff.

"From November 2 to 6, no oil spills were recorded in Anapa and the Temryuk District," the Krasnodar Krai Operational Headquarters reported on its Telegram channel.

This report is based on the results of daily shoreline monitoring.

In turn, environmental volunteers stated that on November 3, as in previous days, new fuel oil spills occurred in the Temryuk District.

The protective embankments will not withstand strong storms, and the oil slick they were built to protect against was the result of oil being pumped out of sunken tankers. The cleanup of the fuel oil spill in Anapa and the oil spill in Tuapse following a drone attack revealed systemic problems in the authorities' response, according to environmentalists.

As a reminder, after the November 2 night attack, drone debris was found in Anapa, Gelendzhik, Tuapse, and four other towns in the Tuapse District. Two civilian vessels, several houses, and the railway station in Tuapse were damaged. At the Tuapse port, where an oil tanker was damaged, buildings and terminal infrastructure were damaged.

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