Telegram users assessed the chances of beaches opening in Anapa.

The targets proposed by Rospotrebnadzor for reopening Anapa's beaches are unrealistic, according to some users. Other commentators opined that the reopening of the beaches depends less on the test results than on the completion of the process of pumping out fuel oil from sunken ships.

As reported by "Kavkazsky Uzel," an assessment of the official beaches of Anapa and the Temryuk district regarding their suitability for the resort season will be conducted in late spring or early summer. Authorities have denied reports of emissions at official beaches, citing petroleum products, for example, in protected areas, particularly on the Bugayskaya Spit.

Blogger Yuri Ozarovsky sparked a debate today about the validity of beach closures based on sand samples. He published the results of two samples taken from one of the beaches on May 29, 2025.

"Any movement of equipment and vessels pollutes the environment. The sea (or river) washes everything onto the shore. The wind carries it around. Fuel combustion products settle on surfaces, including in the sand. The first sample was taken from the beach area and did not meet the standard. The second sample, behind the dune, also did not meet Rospotrebnadzor standards. Even in places where there was no visible fuel oil, the sand failed the test. Bringing in new sand—what difference will that make if after the first serious storm it becomes polluted at the same level? And I'm not even mentioning the fact that during the delivery, equipment will be operating, diesel fuel will spill, and the area will be further burdened," the blogger believes.

"No one's going to argue with Anapa about the Central Beach not having fuel oil and the Mozhepsin Beach having it. That's not how it works. The general media narrative influences people's perceptions. No one will bother to look into the length of the beach or who cleaned where," says Denimo.

"Considering the sand on a public beach crystal clear is fundamentally wrong. Lots of people, trash, and equipment driving around, not even taking into account the standard technical emissions from ships in the sea," agreed Tatiana.

"Don't officially open it; the prices won't go up much. Those who need to will go anyway," suggested a user with the nickname "Payment after passing".

Blogger Max Anapsky objected that the standards for oil products in the sand should be revised. "They won't open the beaches until they revise the 5 mg limit. We need to demand a revision," he said.

"What kind of test results do you expect, considering that shoes get dirty with fuel oil while walking on the beach? It's obvious there was fuel oil, there is fuel oil, and there will be fuel oil (during pumping, etc.)," ​​countered Alexander.
