Russian scientists are monitoring the ecological state of water on the north-eastern shelf of Sakhalin.
The research vessel Akademik Oparin left its home port on November 5 and during this time, the team of scientists has already made 125 stops in different parts of the Sea of Okhotsk to take water samples for study.
After the Fukushima nuclear plant accident, the study of the sea for radioactive contamination became one of the top priorities. The Japanese declare regular discharges of contaminated water from emergency storage facilities from time to time, vesti.ru reports.
