The Sea of Azov bloomed abnormally in May and began washing algae onto the coast — Andriushchenko

In May, the Sea of Azov began to bloom abnormally and wash algae ashore due to environmental changes. Experts attribute this to the consequences of the occupation.
Unusual processes for the end of spring are being recorded in the Sea of Azov — the water has changed color in some places, and the coastline has begun to be covered with a large amount of algae. Such phenomena may indicate serious changes in the sea's ecosystem. This was reported by the head of the Center for the Study of Occupation, Petro Andriushchenko, according to UNN.
In May, the Sea of Azov is abnormally washing algae onto the shore and changing the color of the water. It looks like an active bloom. The problem is that previously such phenomena were characteristic of August, during the peak of the heat and seasonal changes. Now — it is the end of May
This phenomenon may indicate deep ecological changes in the Sea of Azov. Among the possible causes are changes in salinity and water temperature regimes, degradation of water exchange, pollution, destruction of the coastal ecosystem, and the consequences of uncontrolled human interference.
The situation in the Sea of Azov may indicate a critical state of the ecosystem, and such phenomena are increasingly less like ordinary seasonal fluctuations.
Yet more proof that the Russian occupation brings not only war, death, and the destruction of cities. It is systematically finishing off the environment. Even where it is not immediately visible
