Authorities reported no new fuel oil emissions in Kuban.

Monitoring from November 14 to 20 revealed no new fuel oil emissions in Anapa and the Temryuk district, the task force reported. Authorities are not taking steps to clean up the shoreline in the Temryuk district from the remnants of previous emissions, volunteers noted.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," Kuban authorities planned to transfer more than 439 million rubles to the budgets of Anapa and the Temryuk district over the next two years to restore beaches after fuel oil emissions.

No new fuel oil emissions were recorded on the beaches of Anapa and the Temryuk district from November 14th to 20th. This is the result of daily shoreline monitoring, the Krasnodar Krai task force reported today on its Telegram channel.

Specialists continue to monitor the condition of the special embankment, which is designed to protect beaches from storm debris and possible fuel oil emissions during the autumn-winter period. "Over the past week, we have restored more than 10 km of nets along the coastline," the report stated.

Volunteers regularly report new fuel oil emissions and the discovery of old deposits. For example, on November 19th, the "Dolphins" task force reported that fuel oil residues were detected in the "Surov" area, posing a danger to the ecosystem and living organisms. "Despite the fact that the area is within the federal emergency zone, no cleanup operations are being carried out in this area," the volunteers emphasized.

Only two volunteer headquarters remain on the entire coast of the Temryuk District, attempting to clean up the massive fuel oil deposits. However, without government support and an influx of new volunteers, the task is becoming insurmountable, the Dolphins headquarters reported.

As a reminder, on December 15, 2024, two tankers carrying fuel oil sank in the Kerch Strait. A crew member from one of the tankers died as a result. In addition, 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".
