Is there a danger in the Sea of ​​Azov. Sea of ​​Azov: problems, features and interesting facts. Black business drains

The Sea of ​​Azov is considered cheap, shallow and safe, which is why it is popular among families with small children and the same financial capabilities.

But it's not that safe.

radioactive sands

After each storm, black stripes of radioactive thorium appear on the beaches of the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov. On city beaches, it is mixed with ordinary sand to reduce exposure, but on wild beaches it all depends on your care.

1. The radiation background on black sand sometimes exceeds the norm by three times and amounts to 90-100 microroentgen per hour. So take a dosimeter with you, like this girl.

When I wrote about thorium sands for a newspaper, SES doctors tried to console me - moderate exposure is good for health, there are specialized clinics. And here, they say, you can heal yourself with radiation for free. Oh well.

2. Do not sunbathe on black sand.

Bermuda Triangle in Yurievka

In Yuryevka there is a boarding house "Mashinostroitel", and next to it is a beach where people regularly die. Moreover, in the same place, which was even marked with buoys and warning signs.

5.

Do not think that this is a horror story, even experienced swimmers, healthy and sober men are dying.

6. Three years ago, Vlad almost drowned in this dead place, and the two people who saved him died.

       The Sea of ​​Azov is rich in mysteries and even peculiar myths. One of these, as many believe, is the "myth of quicksand", which is stable in local population, but did not find confirmation from experts. In the Russian part of the coast there are persistent rumors about mysterious "underwater pits" that appear and disappear. It would seem that you should not pay attention to philistine rumors, but “fear has big eyes” and anyone who has swallowed sea water, due to not being able to swim or in a corresponding not very sober state, can “weave” and not like that.
       But, however, completely incomprehensible events very often occur on the coast.
       Place of frequent incidents Belosaraisky Bay (between Mariupol and Berdyansk),

       There are active accumulative processes and the spit is growing noticeably enough (for 10-20 years, there is an old aerial photograph).
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp opposite Koski is also clearly visible in pronounced underwater shafts.

       Various explanations for the frequent loss of life in this place have been put forward (Priazovsky Rabochy No. 90 of July 15, 2009), but they are all contradictory.

       Azov Research Station (ANIS), a joint project of Priazov State Technical University and Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, it was assumed that there was gas under the scythe and its periodic exits through the lagoon and in some places into the sea, possibly at the place indicated above.
                             It is proved by the Azov station that gas is available on the coast and in the sea by collecting gas from bottom silt deposits and from wells on the coast in other places.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp all the bottom of the Belosarai Gulf is covered with a multi -meter layer of silt with a high content of organics.

        In some places, the silt comes to the very shore, as it happens in the village of Yalta, and behind the village itself towards the village of Belosarayskaya Spit, the shore is a continuous swamp, which is a big problem for this once excellent resort place.
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbspo -silt is rich in organicism (more than 10%), an active formation of biogas is underway, anis gas is collected and analyzed, high methane content is shown.
                         It has been suggested that due to the active growth of the scythe, the silt gas-bearing deposits are overlapped by dense sedimentary rocks, which causes the accumulation and periodic release of gas from under the scythe deposits in certain places.

       Suggested gas outlet between the shore and the buoys (the place is indicated by signs on the beach and buoys in the sea, but vacationers carelessly ignore them), in these places people drowned most often, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact location due to the inconsistency of the testimonies of witnesses of the incidents and constant change coastline. The constant change of the coastline is associated with the complex geomorphology and hydrodynamics of this place, and possibly also with gas seeps.

& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp is the time of the periodical gas output in certain places the formation of a water-gas mixture, the density of which is significantly less density ordinary sea water, and even a good swimmer is not able to stay on the surface, there is a "failure" as in a hole and a feeling of "quickness" of the bottom. After the gas escapes, the sandy-silt viscous medium quickly closes the formed hole, which is then difficult to detect using non-instrumental methods. This explains the systematic non-detection of a dangerous object by rescuers. During the release of gas, a witness from the side can see something like a "whirlpool", which strangely occurs in the absence of visible currents in shallow water and in calm weather!
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp fuccation of gas and exit site can be found only by instrumental geophysical methods. One of such methods is georadar survey. ANIS together with the Zaporozhye organization GeoPhysProekt conducted a study of the danger zone by this method (with the financial support of the public environmental organization "DOVKILLYA", chairman Olga Ivanovna Samoilova).
(Report of "Geofizproekt" (on the study of the danger zone in the village of Yuryevka))
(Report on electrical exploration (on the study of the danger zone in the village of Yuryevka))

        dangerous situation, it is necessary to “bleed” the accumulated gas, which is possible by opening the dome-shaped focus using drilling methods!
& nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsp & nbsphenis considers urgent conducting these works extremely necessary to prevent emergency situations on the coast and calls on the administration and responsible structures to take the necessary measures to immediately take the necessary measures!
       This work was continued by a group of geophysicists of the Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, who conducted electrical exploration in the water area of ​​the dangerous zone and Belosaraisky Bay. Preliminary results of electrical exploration confirm the data obtained by GPR survey.

Stepanovka Pervaya is one of the most environmentally friendly places on the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov. Excellent climate, healing sea water saturated with nutrients, lack of crowds of people on the beach and a convenient location near Priazovsky National Park. All this is an excellent set of factors for rest and recovery.

On the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov, almost everything is beneficial for humans: the sea, air, sun, sand, clay. Each of these elements can have a beneficial effect on our body.

In the world, sea treatment is very popular, which is called Thalassotherapy (“thalassa” from the Greek language - sea). The water of the Sea of ​​Azov contains many useful salts and microelements. It helps the body not only get rid of harmful substances contained in the pores of the skin, but also nourishes with minerals. The iodine contained in sea water gives it antibacterial properties. Sea water has the ability to dry the skin, which contributes to the treatment of various skin diseases. Doctors often recommend that their patients go swimming or do special exercises in the water that develop the cardiovascular system. Bathing in water effectively strengthens the heart muscle, improves the rhythm of breathing and has a positive effect on the work of the entire nervous system. When you leave the hot beach and enter the sea, the temperature difference hardens your body, even if the sea is very warm. But do not dive too fast, it is better to enter the water gradually. Do not forget that breakfast before swimming should not be heavy. Eating too much before swimming will put an undue strain on your heart. Ideally, the gap between a hearty meal and a swim should be at least two hours.

Aerotherapy(regular intake of air baths) - is a fairly effective type of therapy. People need as much free time as possible fresh air thereby tempering your body. IN summer time it is morning outdoor activities, a walk or a short jog along the coast that will bring maximum benefit. You have a unique opportunity to combine walks in the fresh air with the contemplation of mesmerizing sunrises or sunsets. After all, the optimal temperature for taking air baths is 16-23 degrees Celsius. Sea air has a positive effect on the bronchial mucosa (it has a drying effect) and can relieve inflammation. In addition, it is enriched with ozone, a gas that sterilizes the air and kills harmful bacteria (there is especially a lot of ozone in the air during a storm). Those wishing to do aerotherapy do not need to take a prescription from their doctor, they just need to breathe the sea air.

There is also sun therapy. Heliotherapy). It is important to remember that sunbathing on the beach at noon is very harmful, you will be exposed to dangerous solar radiation. In summer optimal time for sunbathing from eight in the morning to eleven o'clock and from five to eight in the evening. In spring and autumn, you can sunbathe at noon without any problems. It is at this time that solar radiation will have the most beneficial effect on your body. While sunbathing on the beach, the sun's rays fall on your body and affect it with thermal and ultraviolet radiation. Solar heat helps to cure chronic diseases of the joints. Heat warms up the tissues of the body, improving the metabolism in the joints. Also, along with a slight tan on the skin, the human body begins to produce the hormone of happiness, which helps fight depression and mild nervous diseases. That's why you love to go on vacation to the sea so much.

There are also more non-traditional methods of treatment such as Psammotherapy (sand treatment). We have excellent fine sand on the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov, consisting of shells crushed by the sea. Such sand is able to warm up very quickly under the first rays of the sun and is well suited for medicinal purposes. Sea sand perfectly retains heat and gradually gives it to the human body. Warm sand with a temperature of 40-45 degrees can reduce pain, activate blood circulation and enhance the ability to get rid of harmful substances. It is also not worth it to abuse the treatment with warm sand. Adults are not recommended to take sand baths for more than 40 minutes, but for children 10-15 minutes.

Mud therapy and clay treatment are very popular. Mud is used to treat arthritis, osteochondrosis and many other diseases. The coast of the Sea of ​​Azov is famous for its therapeutic mud, which contributes to the treatment of various diseases. More detailed information You can find here.

Of course, in your city you can go to the pool, run in the morning and even sunbathe on the front lawn. But it is a reasonable combination of all these factors, which you can find only on the seashore, that can maximize the vital effect. And most importantly, for healing on the seashore, you don’t need to strain, just swim in the sea, sunbathe in the sun, walk by the water, and nature will do the rest for you. The main thing is to increase the load on the body gradually, do not try to do everything in one day.

The Sea of ​​Azov is truly unique. On the Azov coast sunny days no less than in the Crimea, and the water here warms up much earlier (especially in shallow lagoons). The climate on Azov is more comfortable than on the Black Sea, because there are no such obvious temperature differences here. The beach season here begins in early May, and ends beach season at the end of September.

In summer, the sea is warm due to its great depth, contains a large number of useful minerals and biological substances. During dawn and sunset, during complete calm and during a strong storm, the Sea of ​​​​Azov will surely captivate you with its incredible beauty.

Why is the Sea of ​​Azov so special? The waters of the Sea of ​​Azov contain more than ninety microelements, and while swimming, you not only give your body a light hydromassage, but also get useful minerals from the water. And the optimal solar regime allows you to regularly use sunbathing and bask on the warm sand. You have a unique opportunity to improve the respiratory, endocrine and cardiovascular systems. The air off the coast is simply unique! Your lungs are saturated with iodine, bromine and the aromas of steppe herbs and plants growing on the muddy shores of the Milky Estuary.

Local beaches are in no way inferior to Turkish ones, healing mud and ropa, extracted from estuaries and Sivash, helps restore youth and beauty and relieves many diseases, children gain health for a year in advance, and young people find interesting entertainment for themselves.

The tourism business on the shores of the Sea of ​​Azov is actively developing, many new hotels will open by next summer. If you know how to correctly find good hotels and boarding houses on the Sea of ​​Azov through virtual tours http://www.azov.zp.ua/kurort.swf, you can pay a very low price for quality service and comfortable accommodation on the Azov coast.

Why is Azov better than foreign

1. Here you will not encounter a language barrier - for all service personnel and the local population, Russian is native
2. Slavic cuisine. You don't have to get used to exotic food - the menu in Azov restaurants is almost the same as in establishments from your hometown.
3. The Sea of ​​Azov is very shallow and warm. Your kids can stay out of the water for hours without harm, and you won't need to test the water with your foot before taking a dip.
4. Low prices. If you understand the specifics of the local tourism business, you can save a significant amount, both on food and on accommodation.
5. Small distance. Citizens of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus can reach the Sea of ​​Azov even by train or car.
6. Variety of recreation. Sanatorium or boarding house, hotel room or a tent by the sea, a separate cottage or a room in the private sector - you can choose any accommodation option on the Azov coast.
7. Sandy beaches. Pebbles are very rare, most of the beaches are covered with fine sand, pleasant to the touch.
8. Steppe winds. The high air temperature on the coast of Azov is much easier to bear than in Turkey or Egypt, because steppe winds constantly blow here, bringing refreshing coolness.
9. Gorgeous. The Sea of ​​Azov is considered the first in the world in terms of the number of fish and other marine organisms.

Most of our fellow citizens prefer Crimea, the reason for this lies in the force of habit. During the Soviet era, the shores of Azov there were very few recreation centers and sanatoriums, tourism developed more in the Crimea, so many people got used to relaxing on this peninsula. But now we can safely say that the Crimean ones are losing a lot to the Azov ones, and here's why.

This is the most common type of residence on the Azov coast. Before the trip, carefully study the websites of hotels, but choose one of them only when you arrive at the place. Most local hotels will offer you comfortable living conditions and quality food, but it’s better to look at the hotel yourself, maybe in a neighboring boarding house there will be more low prices and more spacious rooms. Do not be afraid to bargain, this is also appropriate here.

This sea has several outstanding attributes of uniqueness and unusualness.
Firstly, the Sea of ​​Azov is the most shallow sea on the planet maximum depth less than 14 meters. If a whale or giant shark is placed vertically in it, then the tail (or head) will rise above the surface.
Secondly - it is the most productive sea on Earth - more animals live in a unit of its volume than in other seas. So, for example, in terms of productivity, it is 160 times greater than the Mediterranean Sea, although it is 66 times inferior to it in area!
But this is not all of its advantages - in terms of remoteness from the ocean, the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov is the most continental sea on the planet. It was formed approximately in the same years as its neighbor - the Black Sea, fenced off by the Kerch isthmus.

The Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov sheltered about 114 species of fish, and in years when its salinity grows (this happens occasionally), the number of species increases due to temporary migrants from the Black Sea, and can reach 150 species. But the permanent inhabitants of the fish world of the sea are much smaller - about 45 species.

Sharks in the Sea of ​​Azov.

In the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov, you can only find the ubiquitous katran, which penetrates here from the neighboring Black Sea through Kerch Strait. Other sharks do not live here. Even the cat shark, which occurs in the summer months in the Black Sea, cannot be lured here. Katran is not a dangerous marine animal - you can only get injured when dealing with him about his spines present on the dorsal fins, and if you stick your finger into the mouth of this predatory fish. His teeth are small, but sharp. By the way, the skin is also quite rough and tough - you can tear off the skin if you carelessly handle the fish.

Other dangerous inhabitants of the Sea of ​​Azov.

Found in the Sea of ​​Azov and stingrays(sea cats). These flat-bodied fish have a special weapon on their tail - a spike connected by a duct to a poisonous gland in the body. When struck with a tail, a stingray can seriously injure the offender and inject a portion of unpleasant poison into the wound, adding an unforgettable experience about a trip to the sea. But this happens extremely rarely, and the fatal outcomes of such incidents can not be mentioned - extremely rare, as a result of a combination of unpleasant circumstances.

In addition to stingrays, in the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov you can meet fox stingray, or prickly stingray. This fish is less dangerous than the stingray cat - you can get hurt only on its spiked skin.

Among the poisonous fish that can cause trouble with their thorns present in the fins, the sea ruff should be noted - scorpionfish And sea ​​dragon. Pricking the spines of these fish can be very painful and even cause inflammation of the area around the wound.

Common in the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov are such intestinal cavities as eared jellyfish, or aurelia, as well as rhizostomy - cornerot.
Aurelia has a pinkish umbrella, reaching 40 centimeters in diameter. Contact with this jellyfish is safe. You should not just allow the particles of her body to get on the mucous membranes. Aurelia stinging cells are harmless to humans.
The rhizostome, or cornerot, has a hemispherical whitish umbrella, decorated with a blue or purple border, as well as a bunch of tentacles under the umbrella. When meeting with this jellyfish, you should avoid contact with its body - touching it can cause a sensitive "burn" resembling a nettle.
For your information: both Aurelia and Cornerot have been eaten by humans since ancient times. IN Asian countries the product obtained from them is called "crystal meat". In our country, these animals are still ignored as a source of protein food.
