Spawning of fish, including those listed in the Red Book, takes place in Luzhanka

In Transcarpathia in In the Tyachevsky district, an illegal structure was discovered on the Luzhanka River, which completely blocked it and created a kind of pool.

In the river above the structure, fish have completely disappeared, the State Environmental Inspectorate in the Transcarpathian region reports on Facebook.

Environmental inspectors called an investigative team of police officers to the scene, who documented the violation. They should bring it in Unified register of pre-trial investigations and open criminal proceedings. Law enforcement must identify the violators.

The message emphasized that in the event of significant damage to the environment, the culprit will be prosecuted, and the materials will be sent to law enforcement agencies for an appropriate response.

It is noted that spawning of fish takes place in Luzhanka, including those listed in the Red Book.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Transcarpathia in the resort town of Solotvyno sewage treatment plants are in critical condition, overloaded and working ineffectively, which is why untreated wastewater pollutes the Khustets River, a tributary of the transboundary Tisza.

As EcoPolitic reported earlier, in the Zaporizhzhia region, the occupiers began to destroy the banks of the Molochnaya River, which is the largest in the northwestern Azov region. The Russians plan to use the river water to fill irrigation canals.
