From the Central Asian Blue Community ‘Save the Caspian Sea’:
The biggest slick of the week is 6 km² of pollution on the border of Russian and Kazakh waters.
A Sentinel-1A satellite image from July 16 (05:52 Moscow time), obtained by Transparent World on the Caspian, showed a large ship oil spill covering an area of 6 square kilometers.
