In the annexed Crimea, on beaches prone to fuel oil pollution, they began to place nets with a small cell for catching petroleum products discharged by sea, but this method did not become a panacea in solving the problem. About this Crimea.Realitiestold the Crimean local scientist-tour guide.

According to his observations, now this method of beach protection is actively used on the coast of the Sudanese region.

“This method is really effective, but provided that there are people on the beaches who regularly fix the nets, they will not let the surf throw them with sand and pebbles. There are no such queues, so the efficiency of the nets for catching fuel oil is low,” the local expert said on condition of anonymity.

According to him, the big problem remains the removal of bags with used nets and fuel oil collected on beaches.

“Now many professional bloggers and volunteers are warming their hands on this plight. They come, take pictures of the assembly, ask to donate. Then they throw the bags on the shore and go on to PR. Residents of coastal settlements try to raise money to ensure the removal of bags and for consumables for volunteers, but this often ends in swearing and quarrels. In general, as there was no coordinated organized work to eliminate the consequences of the ecological disaster, there is no,” the local expert noted.

According to zookeepers, the Russian authorities in the annexed Crimea dumped the lion's share of the work on rescuing birds affected by fuel oil on volunteers.

In the annexed Crimea, volunteers launched a large campaign to save birds affected by fuel oil, but its effectiveness is rather low due to its chaos, lack of coordination on the part of a single center, a huge shortage of ornithologists and responsibility on the part of the overwatch sites for the preservation of the life of the targeted tourists birds.

As a result of the tanker accident in the Kerch Strait on December 15, 2.4 thousand tons of oil products leaked into the Black Sea, according to the Russian Maritime Service.
