fuel oil continues to wash up on the beaches of russia's resort city anapa after the wreck involving two volgoneft tankers last sunday. according to russian authorities, cleaning up the shoreline will take at least a month, though mazut will likely continue to wash up for many months, depending on the sea currents. the sand on the beaches will remain toxic for another 10 years, russian media report. following the spill, several environmental groups expressed concern over the ecological threat the russian oil trade represents.  greenpeace and bellona warn that the continued operations of russia's shadow fleet, which consists of outdated, uninsured vessels, will inevitably lead to more disasters like this, but on an even bigger scale.   s/1870421550651908597
