How will the catastrophe in Anapa affect people's health, tourist season and ecology?

Natalia Chernova spent three days in Anapa, suffering from an environmental disaster for three days.

On December 15, due to the fault of the buildings of two oil tankers during a storm in the Kerch Strait, about 8 thousand tons of fuel oil, due to the fault of the buildings of two oil tankers. The environmental disaster has threatened the entire ecosystem of the coast, the full restoration of which, according to ecologists, can take up to 10 years. Today, five months after the disaster, it is obvious that the life of the resort city of Anapa and its inhabitants will no longer be the same. The authorities have already been issued an official ban on swimming in the sea. And this, in fact, means a breakdown of the holiday season. How to survive Anapa, who was captured by fuel oil, she herself does not fully understand.
