Thanks to the work of many professionals, it is possible to protect an incredible marine corner of Russia from poaching. The people who work here are completely dedicated to the cause of nature conservation.

Much has been done in recent years. To strengthen protection and with the aim of patrolling more effectively, the reserve fleet has been significantly updated, modern guard posts are operating, and the burning of the territories of the protected area of ​​the reserve has been removed.

Here are the ranges of northern and southern animal and plant species. In particular, the Far Eastern trepang and the giant octopus are subject to special protection. On the island of Fugurelma, the southernmost island of Russia, the lesser spoonbill nests – one of the rarest birds in the country.
