Kuialnyk National Nature Park

Kuialnyk National Nature Park is a protected area along the Black Sea coast combining salt marshes, wetlands, and diverse ecological habitats across its territory. The park provides feeding and nesting grounds for white pelicans, swans, glossy ibises, and many duck species year-round.

The park was officially established through a presidential decree on January 1, 2022, adding to Ukraine's network of protected areas. Its creation responded to the need for safeguarding the unique ecosystems of this Black Sea coastal region.

Local communities participate in environmental education programs that focus on preserving natural habitats and understanding the regional biodiversity of Ukraine.

Visitors can use marked hiking and biking trails for exploring while following conservation guidelines that protect the habitat. Bird watching is best done with patience and attention to disturbance-free zones throughout the area.

The oxidation ponds in Karaholska Bay function as key feeding grounds that support bird populations throughout all seasons. These man-made basins play an important ecological role within the park's natural system.
