In the Black Sea near the coast of the occupied Crimea and the Caucasus, more than 950 points of active methane emission were found, which indicates the threat of an ecological disaster.
About this it is said in publication eat Center of National Resistance.
According to RBC-Ukraine, the situation worsened due to Russia’s activities, including drilling on the shelf for oil and gas extraction, construction of military facilities and conducting exercises.
Many emissions are registered at depths of up to 725 meters in the form of gas hydrates, which can uncontrollably release methane when conditions are violated.
Scientists who recorded these processes were advised to refrain from public comments after the data leak.
Uncontrolled emissions of methane depressurize the bottom layers, lead to degradation of the seabed and increase the risk of a chain reaction.
Methane traps heat 25 times more efficiently than carbon dioxide, which can cause a decrease in oxygen in the water and mass death of marine organisms.
If the situation remains unchecked, the deep-sea areas of the Black Sea may become dead.
The methane wave caused by explosions or tectonic landslides will affect not only Crimea, but also the coastal areas of Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria.
Experts point out that, under the guise of developing resources, the occupiers are actually creating a man-made risk zone, where military interests are placed above environmental safety.
If the emergency continues, a wave of methane will affect the coastal areas of Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria, endangering not only ecological stability, but also security in the region.
Thus, the current situation in the Black Sea highlights serious man-made risks caused by the military interests of the occupiers.
