According to eyewitnesses, today about 10 dead birds were found on the Belosarayskaya Kosa. According to A. Bronskaya, the head of the scientific department of the National Nature Reserve “Meotida”, the reason may be poisoning or entanglement in fishing equipment.

“Since the beginning of May, when we began to find the first bodies, we counted more than a thousand dead birds and about twenty dolphins. As a biologist, I can say that such a death is not typical for this period, so it's a mass one. Most of the dead birds are grebes. They were here in April. During this period they live on the water, so they could get tangled in the fishing-nets. But the fact that the death is very local and for a short period of time, can be poisoning,” – Bronskaya said.

The State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection began to collect tests to understand the cause of the death of animals.

“Blood or liver is needed for the study in order to have accurate results of the tests. Blood can be taken with either live or with a half-dead bird. They were already dead. And the liver in the corpses has become so decomposed that it is difficult to study it somehow,” – Bronskaya says.
