An investigation carried out after a signal was received about an unnatural dark brown colour of the water near the beach in the Varna district of Asparuhovo, as well as in the entire area of the port of Varna on the Black Sea coast, has revealed that the cause is not pollution, but a natural phenomenon.

The information was provided by BNR correspondent in Varna Daniela Stoynova.
