Since then the station has been in a state of uncertainty, it seems residents will also be relocated but when is uncertain. Photo July 1 2019, 02:52 7 800 просмотрs

​Chronicles of an unofficial catastrophe in Atyrau

​Chronicles of an unofficial catastrophe

The first public reports of the mass death of fish in Ural River in Atyrau were registered on the 2nd of December, last year. Today, the 7th March, hundreds of thousands of fish carcasses are almost evenly distributed in the thickness of the river ice. These fish, swollen from corpse gas, floated to the surface and were icebound. Underwater surveys prove that more than one thousand tons have decomposed on the bottom, not visible to the eye. The worst thing is that they continue to die. But Atyrau officials believe there is no reason for concern. Photo Video March 11 2019, 10:53 5 996 просмотрs
