Syvash Bay, Salt water lagoon system in southeastern Ukraine
The Syvash consists of shallow inlets covering 2,560 square kilometers along the western edge of the Sea of Azov, separated by the Arabat Spit.
During the Russian Civil War in November 1920, the Red Army executed a crossing operation through the Syvash waters in the Perekop-Chongar campaign.
The mineral-rich waters of Syvash influence local traditions and industries, with salt extraction activities shaping the regional economic practices over generations.
Access to Syvash requires navigation through local roads, with Krasnoperekopsk serving as the main industrial center for mineral salt processing in the region.
The waters of Syvash contain approximately 200 million metric tons of various salts, creating conditions where specific micro-algae turn the water red.
