“About 15,000-20,000 birds have already died due to the fuel oil spill in the Kerch Strait – biologistAbout 15,000-20,000 birds have died due to the fuel oil spill in the Kerch Strait after the Russian tanker accident. According to the biologist, 90% of rescued birds have a low chance of survival due to impaired thermoregulation.”, — write on: unn.ua
There are still a lot of birds hanging out in the sea. They are stressed and soon they are back on shore. This disaster, it is more difficult than the disaster of 2007, when only 30 thousand birds died according to official data,
According to Rusev, as soon as a bird finds itself in fuel oil or an oil film, it experiences severe stress and intoxication.
In theory, those birds that are washed are released, they have very little chance of survival. According to my estimates, based on the various information I receive from various parts of the world, at least 90% die. Those 10% who theoretically survive have a chance to die, because their thermoregulation is disturbed,
We will remind
The coast of occupied Feodosia, Alushta and Sudak suffered from fuel oil pollution. Satellite images have shown patches near ports and along coastlines, and environmentalists are warning of possible consequences.
It is also noted that more than 30 dolphins died near the shores of the occupied Crimea after the Volgoneft tanker accident. Oil pollution stretches for kilometers.
