Environmentalists warn that Russia’s aggression against Ukraine leads to significant ecological changes in the Black Sea.
About this writes Crimea. Realii .
In particular, the construction of the Kerch bridge, which began in 2014 after the annexation of Crimea, significantly changed the natural currents and marine ecosystem. It is known that as a result of this, organisms that are important for the bottom have disappeared underwater, and in addition, the threat of pollution due to military operations, oil spills and ammunition dumping is increasing. According to scientists, the Black Sea can undergo significant changes, turning into a completely different body of water.
Scientists note that the war affected the ecosystem of the sea in a similar way to the effect on a person with a chronic disease that responds to minor stimuli.
In recent years, a sharp increase in the mortality of dolphins has been recorded, indicating serious changes in the marine environment. At the same time, Russian scientists talk about “biodiversity”, although they confirm the appearance of invasive species that can harm the local ecosystem.
War, in addition to direct physical intervention, leads to a significant increase in the flow of biogenic pollution into the sea, which is caused by the destruction of infrastructure, as well as anti-environmental actions.
Residual fuel, heavy metals and munitions fragments complicate the situation, dangerously affecting maritime productivity. The Black Sea is under threat, and if the situation remains unchanged, the results will be catastrophic for the region.
