In Volyn, rescue divers examined and cleaned 10 lakes from the Shatsk group of debris in order to prepare them for the start of the bathing season.
A large amount of rusty iron, rubber bottles, bricks, broken glass and other garbage were recovered from the lakes, reports the Main Department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Volyn region on Facebook.

"Inspecting the bottom of the water area, divers remove a lot of rusty iron, broken glass and bricks, cans, plastic and other garbage, they use metal detectors to search for metal objects," the report said.
It is noted that 7 more lakes are planned to be cleaned in the coming days.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that the Lutsk city territorial community has joined the "LUN City AIR" network, which will allow citizens to receive information about air quality in real time.
As EcoPolitic reported earlier, in Kyiv, the clearing and beautification of the unique Sinye Lake, located in the Podilsky district near the Vynogradar housing estate, was included in the list of environmental protection measures for 2023. Over the past 40 years, the lake has become very shallow due to construction and rising air temperatures.
