Over 30 dead dolphins found at sea after tanker wrecks and fuel oil spills in the Kerch Strait.
The Scientific and Ecological Center for the Rescue of Dolphins "Delfa" provided such data, News.Az citing the Interfax."Summary as of January 5, 2025 on the situation with the dead dolphins and what we have managed to do (...) Since the emergency, we have recorded 61 dead cetaceans, including 32 individuals that died after December 15, whose death is most likely related to the fuel oil spill. The rest died before the emergency - very old bodies," the center clarified.
