Ecology Ministry monitored beaches

Dissatisfactory environmental condition of the beaches, lack of development and security perspectives, illegal annexation of 130m coastal area and violation of sanitary norms and rules have been discovered as a result of monitoring. Most of the beaches are in bad condition due to anthropogenic influence.

As Trend reports, 20% of Nabran beach is covered by marches; phenols, heavy metals and oil products in excessive norms were found in the sea water.

Only 7 km out of 34 km coastal area of Sumgayit are suitable for beach. More than 4 m2 of Novhani beach is covered with swamps.
