An oil spill from the marine terminal in Tuapse, Russia, has partially entered the Black Sea and contaminated the coastline. Due to heavy rains, the water level in the Tuapse River rose, causing oil products to overflow previously installed containment booms. The pollution has spread downstream, affecting marine waters and the coastal zone, where cleanup crews are now manually scooping up the slick with buckets, shovels, and excavators.
