Palm oil spills worsen environmental problems on the Kuban coast

Local fuel oil spills on the coast in the Temryuk district are being quickly cleaned up by volunteers, but large volumes of palm oil and petroleum products spilled into the sea create a toxic mixture that poses a serious environmental threat.

At the same time, employees of the EFKO Group of Companies (the group includes a food handling terminal in the port of Taman - note from "Caucasian Knot") worked on the shore and collected 350 sacks of palm oil. "This is a significant amount of work and a great help to the coast," the volunteers write.

It should be noted that on the night of May 29, a fire broke out in the Taman seaport following a drone attack, rescuers are extinguishing the fire. The massive attack lasted about two hours, residents reported.

Materials on the consequences of the fuel oil spills in the Kerch Strait and Tuapse have been collected by the "Caucasian Knot" on the page "Eco-disaster in Kuban". Data on the scale of coastal pollution was collected by the "Caucasian Knot" in the reference material "Fuel Oil Spill in the Kerch Strait".
