Lunsky Bay, Protected natural bay in Sakhalin Oblast, Russia
Lunsky Bay extends into the Sea of Okhotsk with deep waters and rocky shorelines that support numerous marine species throughout the seasons.
The bay gained protected status in 1997, following decades of scientific research that documented its ecological importance to the Russian Far East region.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices in the waters of Lunsky Bay, following patterns established by generations of maritime inhabitants.
Winter visitors should prepare for temperatures below freezing from October to June, when ice covers large portions of the marine area.
The bay serves as a critical migration route for multiple fish species, while its waters contain substantial unexplored underwater geological formations.
