Azov-Syvash National Nature Park

The park comprises 52,582 hectares of land and water, including Byriuchyi Island, Syvash Bay, and parts of the Sea of Azov.

The Ukrainian government established this protected area on February 25, 1993 to safeguard the coastal environment of the northwestern Azov region.

Salt extraction remains an active industry in the region, with a salt plant producing pink salt containing natural carotene from local algae.

The park divides into four zones: protected area, regulated recreation, local recreation, and economic activities, each with specific access rules.

Over one million birds pass through the park annually during migrations, including ducks, swallows, Kentish plovers, and Pallas's gulls.
