Arkhangelsk Sea port threatened by oil wastes
According to regional representative of the Federal Service on Control of Natural Resources Exploitation (Rosprirodnadzor), the White Sea could be affected by the oil pollution.
According to regional head of sea and shelf control at Rosprirodnadzor Alexander Popov, continued discharges of oil substances into the Arkhangelsk port zone could affect the White Sea environment, BarentsObserver reports.
