The dam for transporting sand to the Anapa beaches has been dismantled.

The temporary crossing built for filling the beaches of Anapa with imported sand, which were affected by an oil spill, has been dismantled, and at the same time, the mouth of the Anapka River was cleaned.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the crossing over the Anapka River was built to fill the beaches with imported sand after the oil spill, and upon completion of the work, the resort authorities planned to remove it. However, despite the fact that the sand transportation work has been completed, the structure still remains, Telegram users pointed out. The river has turned into a swamp, which indirectly caused the death of fish.

The temporary hydraulic structure on the Anapka River has been removed, reported ecologist Roman Pukalov, director of environmental programs at the "Green Patrol" organization.

"The river has returned to its natural hydrological regime, and the mouth has even been slightly deepened," he reported on his Telegram channel.

Work has been carried out to clean the shoreline of the Anapka River, reported Anapa's deputy mayor Sergey Donets. "Specialists cut down reeds, removed accumulated garbage, and collected plant debris. Cleaning the banks and riverbed helps prevent the accumulation of garbage and vegetation that can obstruct water flow in case of flooding," he noted on his Telegram channel.

This message was reposted by blogger Max Anapsky on his Telegram channel, where it received three comments.

"We go every morning to see how the work is progressing. There is still a lot of garbage to clean up there," noted Natalia Ifraimova.

"The bottom should be cleaned," commented Android.

"Well done, what can I say. They finally got to Anapka," wrote Larisa.
