Areas littered with plastic bottles, bags, buckets, parts of film and other waste

In Odesa, the territories adjacent to the Saryary River were littered with household waste in the area of the Zhovtiy Yar village of the Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky district.

The river and its mouth itself flows into the Karachaus estuary, which is included in the boundaries of the Tuzlivski Lymani National Nature Park, says biologist and ecologist from the national park Ivan Rusev on Facebook.

He emphasized that in order to preserve the ecology of estuaries, an inflow of water from the sea is needed, as well as fresh clean water from rivers.

The territories are littered with plastic bottles, bags, buckets, pieces of film and other waste.

Rusev emphasized that the river itself sandwiched between vast fields that are cultivated and polluted with chemicals.

Earleir, EcoPolitic wrote, that thousands of mammals and birds died in Odesa, including more than 1,000 pheasants, hundreds of gray crows, rooks, badgers, foxes, jackals, etc. Biologist and ecologist of the national natural park "Tuzlivski lymany" Ivan Rusev suggested that the cause of such ecological disaster was the "free" issuance of permits for agrochemicals.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, about 100 dead birds were found in Odesa region in the National Natural Park "Tuzlivski Lymani" that were poisoned by a substance similar to rodenticide (poison for rodents).
