Baku bay waters cleared of waste and oil
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Azerbaijan’s Seaside Boulevard Department, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations’ Caspian Basin Rescue Service worked together to remove waste from the waters around Baku Boulevard and the Seaside National Park.
The group targeted organic waste, oil slicks, and other residues polluting the bay. The Caspian Basin Rescue Service specifically handled oil slick removal and cleaned the coastline during the operation. The cleaning efforts responded to changing conditions in the Caspian Sea.
Lower water levels and increasing shallows in parts of the bay required the use of specialised equipment to effectively collect the waste. The departments carried out the cleanup as part of a broader plan to improve the ecological health of Baku Bay, a coastal area of Azerbaijan. The agreement between the three organisations facilitated the coordinated removal of pollution from the water and surrounding areas.
