Astaninskie plavni, Protected wetland area in Republic of Crimea, Russia.
Astaninskie Plavni is a wetland area situated along the Kakhovka water reservoir, featuring reed beds, shallow water zones, and natural channels. The site spans several kilometers with a mosaic of open water, vegetation patches, and low-lying shorelines.
The area received protection in 1974 as part of efforts to preserve the wetland ecosystem. This designation reflected broader conservation priorities for the region's natural resources.
Scientists and researchers from multiple institutions conduct regular field studies in this wetland to document species and monitor environmental changes.
Access to the area may be restricted and visitors should check local regulations before planning a visit. The warmer months offer better conditions for exploring and observing wildlife activity.
The wetland serves as a breeding ground for rare bird and fish species that depend on these shallow waters for reproduction. This role as a refuge for specialized species gives it particular ecological value.
