Under the Surface Black Sea
Black Sea support visual

Why support matters

The damage does not end when the surface looks clean.

Fuel oil pollution can remain in sand, sediment and shallow coastal areas long after the first spill. What disappears from view can still affect birds, marine life and the fragile systems that keep the Black Sea alive. Surface Aid exists to keep this hidden impact visible — and to turn awareness into support for recovery, protection and long-term attention.

What your support helps do

Every act of support helps the Black Sea stay seen.

01

Wildlife care

Help bring attention to birds and marine animals affected by fuel oil pollution, and support the need for cleaning, treatment and safe recovery.

02

Coastal recovery

Support visibility for polluted beaches, shallow waters and coastal habitats where traces of fuel oil may remain even after the shoreline appears cleaner.

03

Public awareness

Help create visual campaigns, educational materials and digital stories that explain what is happening beneath the surface.

04

Long-term attention

Environmental damage does not follow the news cycle. Surface Aid helps keep the Black Sea visible after public attention begins to fade.

The damage is not always visible, but support can be.
