Bystroye Canal, Navigation canal in Odesa Oblast, Ukraine
The Bystroye Canal stretches from the Danube River to the Black Sea through multiple distributaries, providing a maritime transportation route between Ukraine and international waters.
The canal operated as a Soviet waterway until 1959, when silting problems led to its closure before reopening in 2007 following extensive dredging operations.
The waterway sustains local communities through traditional fishing practices, reed harvesting, and transportation activities that shape the regional identity.
Maritime vessels accessing the canal receive guidance from multiple piloting services provided by the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority to ensure safe navigation.
The canal intersects with protected wetlands that support 330 bird species, including substantial populations of white pelicans in their natural habitat.
