Ecological catastrophe in the Black Sea!

More than 30 minke whales have been found dead in the Black Sea after the sinking of two Russian oil tankers on December 15.

According to reports from the Russian non-governmental organization, "Delpha", which specializes in rescuing dolphins and other marine mammals, this was one of the latest environmental pollution incidents to occur in the Kerch Strait, between Russia and the Crimean peninsula, annexed by Moscow in 2014.

The two tankers, Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239, sank during a storm, spilling more than 9,200 tons of oil into the sea, of which about 40% may have ended up in the waters of the Black Sea.

According to the report by the organization "Delpha", a total of 61 dead whales have been recorded so far, 32 of which after December 15.

"The death of these marine mammals is most likely related to the oil spill," they emphasize.

Most of the dead whales are large, and according to the organization, most of them died within ten days of the disaster.

"We are receiving information about new deaths almost every day," said a representative of "Delpha", adding that water pollution is very serious and has had a severe impact on the life of marine fauna.

Faced with this alarming situation, Russian authorities and volunteers have launched a vast cleanup operation, which has included the washing away of more than 96,000 tons of oil-contaminated sand.

However, according to authorities' estimates, a total of about 200,000 tons of soil may have been affected.

Some experts warn that the consequences of this ecological disaster could be long-term for the marine ecosystem and faunal life in this region.
