The condition of the sand on the beaches of Anapa has raised complaints from commentators.
The sand on the city beaches of Anapa has been washed away and partially carried out to sea, and restoration will require bringing sand back to the shore. The sand was washed away because the sand brought in by the authorities is not suitable for the shore, commentators pointed out.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on September 12, the beaches of Anapa were filled with vacationers, while earlier tourists and locals had repeatedly pointed out problems with the quality of the sand brought in after the oil spill. On September 11, activists suggested before winter to plow the beaches, or better replace the sand with a more suitable one for the coast. The sand brought in after the oil spill on the beaches of Anapa has turned into a dense clay mass, complained a tourist and a local blogger. Environmentalists pointed out that the new sand does not match the previous Anapa sand, pollution remains on the coast, and eliminating the consequences of the oil spill will take several more years.
On December 15, 2024, two tankers with fuel oil crashed in the Kerch Strait. As a result, a crew member of one of the tankers died. In addition, there was an oil spill, which led to catastrophic environmental consequences, according to a report from "Caucasian Knot" "Oil spill in the Kerch Strait".
The sand from the central beach of Anapa has been washed out to sea, resulting in damage to the structures installed on the beach, writes blogger Yuri Ozarovsky in his Telegram channel.
"The area that was under the recreation zone has been washed away. The thing is that large mounds of new sand formed on the left and right of it. Usually, the sea bypassed this section on the right side, but this time it went straight through it. This point turned out to be the path of least resistance and the first on the water's path, and because the structures were on a pile foundation, they mostly withstood," he noted.
The therapeutic central beach suffered less, but there is still erosion, he pointed out in another publication.
"To restore it, we will again have to take sand, bring it here, and fill in the damaged areas. Interesting questions arise: where will they get it from and how exactly will the work be carried out?" the blogger writes. These publications received four comments each.
"Loam instead of that very Anapa sand," commented Msk.
"The sand brought in is good, according to all norms and standards. Let it all be washed away out of sight!" writes Lor@.
"In the Emirates, they don't wash away the reclaimed islands, but here they do," exclaimed G M.
