As you know, the Tyligul estuary is located within the Odesa and Mykolaiv regions. He is included in the list of wetlands of international importance . A significant number of unique animals, fish and plants live on the territory of the Tyligul estuary. In addition, the estuary has a unique water salinity and large reserves of healing mud.

Let us remind you, in the Mykolaiv Region in the regional landscape park "Tyligulskyi" Chilova Kosa was built by MAFs and turned it into a popular place for recreation. Hundreds of people in hundreds of cars come every weekend to nesting places of red-listed birds, habitats of animals and plants. They park in the middle of the protected steppe to relax on the beach and ride ATVs.

As previously reported by EcoPolitics, near Odesa, at the end of July, the Khadzhibey estuary began to dry up in the villages of Khomynka and Yehorivka of the Rozdilnian district.
