Work to eliminate the consequences of the oil spill following the tanker accident in the Kerch Strait continues.
Monitoring is underway in the Black Sea, as well as the coasts of the Krasnodar Krai and the Republic of Crimea. No new oil spills have been recorded over the past week. Satellite images of the Black Sea tanker wrecks have revealed no confirmed oil spills.
The combined group of forces and resources involved in eliminating the consequences of the emergency consists of 793 people and 185 units of equipment.
Since the emergency, more than 185,000 tons of contaminated sand and soil have been collected in the Krasnodar Krai, the Republic of Crimea, and Sevastopol. More than 3,000 kilometers of coastline have been cleaned, including repeated cleanups.
In total, more than 181 thousand tons of contaminated sand and soil were disposed of by specialized organizations or sent into economic circulation.
A layer of clean sand was poured over a 1 km long test section to replace the previously collected contaminated soil.
"Rospotrebnadzor specialists are currently examining samples taken at the site. Based on their findings, the commission will consider the effectiveness of this restoration method and the possibility of replicating it on other affected beaches," noted Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev.
The final decision on the format for the 2026 beach season in Anapa and the Temryuk district will be made based on the results of the studies. Seawater tests conducted by Rospotrebnadzor since the beginning of this year have revealed no deviations from standards.
