In Anapa, fortifying groynes are being built to prevent repeated oil contamination. At the moment, the length of the line is 7.5 km, the Krasnodar Territory Operational Headquarters reports.

A special map with the fortifications and explanation of how they work has been made.

"First, about 1 m deep ditchers are being excavated, than groynes nearly 2 m high are being poured. A polypropylene net about 3 m wide is laid in front of the ditch. It will retain fractions of fuel oil that the sea throws out,”
