Arbatsky zakaznik

Arbatsky Zakaznik is a protected natural area along the Sea of Azov coast on Arabat Peninsula. The reserve covers wetlands and coastal zones where different plant and animal species thrive in their natural habitats.

The area was established as a protected reserve in 1974 to safeguard the local natural environment. This designation recognized the importance of its wetlands and coastal zones for regional wildlife.

Scientists and researchers regularly visit this reserve to study and document the migration patterns of birds across the Black Sea region.

A visit requires special permits that must be obtained in advance from local authorities. Plan ahead to arrange the necessary permissions before traveling to the site.

The reserve contains both freshwater and saltwater zones that support rare plant communities and fish populations. This mixing of different water systems creates distinct conditions for specialized species.
