For the third day, the beach in Pomorie has been covered with oil slicks that continue to surface.

Although Pomorie Mayor Ivan Alexiev is aware of the problem, the municipality has not taken action to clean it up, according to the Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water-Burgas. The Executive Agency “Maritime Administration” said that no large ships have been detected passing through the area.

The pollution affects a three-kilometer zone in the Old Town area of Pomorie, including the beaches Kolchetata, Pompata and Skalichkite. The shoreline is crowded with beachgoers.
