Since the beginning of summer, efforts have been underway on Son-Kul Lake to identify and extract old synthetic nets lying on the bottom. These measures are aimed at preserving fish resources and improving the ecological state of the water body.
Handing over nets for disposal
Previously, extracted illegal fishing gear was burned after official reports were filed. However, the approach has now changed to avoid polluting the environment with combustion products. The seized materials are planned to be handed over to the municipal enterprise Kochkor Tazalyk.
"If nets remain on the lake bottom, many fish get entangled and die. Therefore, we are continuing our work to clear Son-Kul of illegal fishing gear and improve its reclamation state."
Context
The waterway cleaning operations are being carried out by the Son-Kul Fisheries state enterprise. Ormon, a fisherman for the enterprise, reported the results of the net extraction.
