The task force reported on the cleanup of "minor emissions" of fuel oil in Anapa.

Algae in fuel oil and minor spills were discovered on the Bugayskaya Spit. The task force described the incident as insignificant and reported cleaning up the beach area.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," authorities reported that more than 850 people were involved in the cleanup of the fuel oil spill. However, only a few Kuban-Spas personnel were visible on the coast, volunteers noted, inquiring about where the main forces were deployed. Only a few people remain at the Dolphins headquarters, trying to clean up kilometers of beaches of fuel oil.

Insignificant emissions of fine oil particles were collected at two sites in Anapa, the Krasnodar Krai task force reported today.

"Oil-contaminated algae were discovered the day before December 2 on a 4-kilometer stretch of Bugayskaya Spit and on a 1.5-kilometer section from the border outpost to the watershed," the statement said.

The agency reports that approximately 35 people cleaned the beach area. These are employees of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Krasnodar Territory and representatives of the Beloglinsky District, the operational headquarters claims.

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 personnel, 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 of one of the tankers died as a result. In addition, an oil spill occurred, which led 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".

"Caucasian Knot" also wrote that, over the next two years, Kuban authorities planned to transfer more than 439 million rubles to the budgets of Anapa and the Temryuk district for the restoration of beaches after the fuel oil spill.
