The operational headquarters reported on the work of divers near the seashore in Anapa

In 10 days, divers raised 337 bags of soil contaminated with fuel oil from the seabed in the Anapa village of Dzhemete.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, from August 13 to 24, divers raised 2,022 bags of fuel oil from the seabed in Anapa, the Kuban operational headquarters stated. The regional authorities emphasized that the cleanup of the seabed in the village of Dzhemete has already entered "the final stage".

From July 25 to August 19, the authorities did not record new emissions of fuel oil on the coast in Anapa, although volunteers stated that emissions were continuing. Following the storm on August 24, new oil spills appeared on the coast.

From August 25 to September 3, 337 bags of fuel oil were raised from the seabed in Anapa, the Kuban operational headquarters reported today in its Telegram channel.

"In the village of Dzhemete Anapa is completing work to clean the seabed from oil products. On September 3, divers in the pier area collected and pulled 15 bags of oil-contaminated soil to the shore," the publication says.

Today, September 4, on the beaches of Anapa, "the sea is clear everywhere," said the author of the telegram channel "Max Anapsky", which has 5.4 thousand subscribers.

Recall that on December 15, 2024, two tankers with fuel oil sank in the Kerch Strait. As a result, a crew member of one of the tankers died. In addition, there was a spill of oil products, which led to catastrophic environmental consequences, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Fuel oil spill in the Kerch Strait".

As a result of the environmental disaster, Rospotrebnadzor declared 141 beaches in Anapa and nine beaches in the Temryuk district unsuitable for recreation. Materials about the consequences of the fuel oil spill have been collected by the "Caucasian Knot" on the thematic page "Eco-disaster in Kuban".
