The international environmental organization Greenpeace called it an “environmental disaster” and demanded an investigation into the incident.
In Kamchatka, there was a leak of petroleum products from a commercial tanker. Local residents found hundreds of dead marine animals off the shores of Paramushir Island. Eyewitnesses posted the corresponding video on social media.
“The scale of the contamination has not yet been determined, but the fact that dead animals are found all over the coast confirms the seriousness of the situation,” the Russian branch of Greenpeace said.
Russian blogger Dud also showed the consequences of the oil spill in Kamchatka.
According to TASS, the water poisoning in the Khalaktyrsky beach area in Kamchatka was caused by a leak of petroleum products from a commercial tanker, which was repaired.
In vidos – Kamchatka right now. In the photo in a respirator: Anton Morozov @snowave_kamchatka, the same surfer from our number on Kamchatka, who, together with his friends, turned Khalaktyrsky beach into a world attraction. Here’s what he writes: “Just 3 weeks ago, everyone started experiencing strange and unpleasant symptoms after surfing. Blurry, dry, painful and dull eyes. Sore throat, swollen ligaments and sitting. The taste of the ocean is bitter, not salty, completely unusual. After a while, we, about 20 people who live in the camp, who travel often, were poisoned. We decided it was an intestinal infection. And no parallels were established. It was strange, but the water was a bit clear, we attributed it to possible allergic reactions to plankton or other natural biological processes and waited for the predicted storm. There was hope that all this would happen to him. But that turned out to be the beginning. On Monday, the information went online. The authorities sent specialists to take samples. The water became more and more strange, muddy, thick. The photos and videos came from different ends of the coast, showing mountains of dead inhabitants everywhere. Preliminary sample results showed an excess of petroleum products 4 times and phenol 2 times. Yesterday and today, many rushed out of the ocean. Symptoms appear even without contact with water. New information arrives every hour and recently Greenpeace satellite images were received of the river that empties into the ocean and which, apparently, brought death to all living things. The chronology images of September 1, 9 and 24 show that on the 9th the river was already pouring tons of poison into the ocean. Turns out it’s been almost a month. There was no reaction to prevent the disaster and save the situation. Probably, if the people responsible for this event were more courageous and declared their mistake and began rescue operations, the magnitude of this could be kept under control. But poison has been coming out of the river for a month, killing everything around it. “(The first video is a stain in the ocean, the third is simply creepy)

It was previously reported that in Crimea, the level of pollution of the largest river Salgir within Simferopol is a thousand times higher than the norm. The reason for this was the sewage.
Let us remember that the UN noticed the deterioration of the environment. Face shields, gloves, hand sanitizer bottles, and food containers have all contributed to more environmental pollution.
