On the south-eastern coast of the Crimea , the dolphins continue to be massively thrown ashore. According to the marine biologists of the “Serene Sea” project, created to protect the Black Sea dolphins, more than 50 dead dolphins have been thrown out of the sea since the beginning of March this year. Scientists did not name the exact cause of the mass death of Red Book mammals.
Kerch activists of the NGO “Republican Anti-Corruption Bureau”, referring to Kerch environmentalists, argue that the mass death of dolphins can be associated with the uninterrupted destruction of the Lower Churbash tailing dam. The Nizhne-Churbash tailing pond is a hydraulic structure intended for burial of toxic waste tailings formed during the enrichment of iron ore.
Andrei Artov, deputy head of the republican public organization “Ecology and Peace” on the contrary, argues that the death of dolphins is associated with fishing.
“Virtually all the dead dolphins thrown ashore, died in the nets. Up to 95% of them die in this way. The probability of poisoning is extremely small. The dolphin is one of the highest biological life forms in the sea. If there was a water contamination, then more primitive species would first have to die. As far as I know, this does not happen, so you should not worry, “the biologist noted.
