   Several days ago, opening social media, I was horrified that my feed was filled with strange photos of the ocean and its shores. Reading several articles, I understood that in the eastern Kamchatka region of Russia, happened an ecological catastrophe. The first to sound the alarm were surfers, who began to feel bad after classes near Khalaktyrsky beach - they complained about painful eyes, sore throat, vomiting, and high temperature. Later, was reported that the water turned yellow, and the famous bay was strewn with the corpses of ocean marine dwellers. According to scientists, 95% of marine life along the seabed in Avacha Bay has been killed. What is causing the eco-disaster on the shores of Kamchatka? Testing shows the water is filled with toxic chemicals, but no one seems to know from where. The scientists assume that that the scale of the disaster will only increase. Some surviving species are likely to die in the near future because their food supply has been destroyed. Also, the researchers believe the area of pollution is much wider than the territories they investigated. Overall, I think it is a global problem if it is not somehow solved, these toxins can have a harmful impact on other parts of the Pacific ocean.
