Authorities reported on the cleanup of three sections of the Tuapse coastline.

The collection of oil products has been completed in the villages of Novomikhaylovskoye, Yuzhny, and the village of Nebug, while rescuers continue to clean beaches in the villages of Tyumenskoye, Volny, and the village of Olginka, the task force reported.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," the mayor of Tuapse did not recommend volunteers participate in beach cleanups, as it is dangerous due to the equipment. Officials advised women cleaning the beaches to protect their reproductive health. Volunteers are not allowed to work on the coastline; only specialized organizations are working in coastal areas, according to representatives of the volunteer task force. The mayor of Tuapse announced plans to open all beaches by June 1.

Three sections of the coastline in the Tuapse Municipal District have been cleared, the Krasnodar Krai task force reported. "Oil product collection work has been completed in the villages of Novomikhaylovsky and Yuzhny and the village of Nebug. A total of 1,280 bags of contaminated soil have been collected there. They are gradually being removed from the coastline for disposal. Kuban-SPAS employees continue cleanup in the village of Tyumensky and the village of Olginka. Work has also been organized in the village of Volny, where a small area of ​​emissions was recorded," the report says.
 
"We are talking about localized emissions of oil products recorded by monitoring groups in areas ranging from 100 to 300 meters in length. These are the consequences of oil products spilling into the sea after large-scale fires that occurred in Tuapse at the marine terminal and oil refinery due to drone attacks," the report notes.

As a reminder, by May 1, according to Kuban authorities, 13.3 thousand cubic meters of fuel oil, contaminated soil, and a water-fuel oil mixture. Volunteers cleaning up areas outside the city center complained that they are not receiving enough help from the authorities. In the village of Tyumensky alone, they stated, at the current rate, it will take about two months to clean up the emissions.

A regional emergency is in effect throughout the entire Tuapse District . You can read about emergency assessment criteria, response levels, structures, and resources for eliminating the consequences in the Caucasian Knot's document "Emergency Situation Regime (ES)".

Materials on the consequences of the fuel oil spill have been collected by the Caucasian Knot on the page "Eco-disaster in Kuban".
