What images do you have the word "sea"?Surely the cold winter evenings or damp and dank autumn plays the most memory sun-drenched beaches, warm, enveloping though, saltwater, shells, sea pebbles, pebbles.Guess?
I most likely am just enough for a small group.I love to wander for hours of winter, just powdered, waterfront.A late autumn, when the leaves are off the trees almost flew over, and the sun shines a special light yellowish, I can spend hours in any cafe on the beach, listening to the cries of seagulls and enjoying the sounds rhythmically rolled on shore waves.
Russian Sea - are very different.We can say lucky, t. To. It is possible to find exactly the element that will meet our internal state.We can go to the harsh coast of the northern seas, and in the summer we are always happy to Black Sea coast.
Section 1. Sea Russia.General description
According to popular belief, the coast of the country washed by twelve seas.Why did I use the word "common"?Is there still any point of view on this?Yes there is.Sometimes in the literature you can find information about what is actually the seas 13. In this article, we will not take into account the Caspian Sea, which is called "sea", but by its very nature is the largest lake in the world.
Sea in Russia can be attributed directly to the three oceans:
- the Atlantic - three: Azov, Baltic, Black;
- to the Arctic - six: the Barents, White, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian and Chukchi;
- to the Pacific - three: Bering, Okhotsk, Japan.
Section 2 Sea Russia.Special features
We can boast some distinctive, I would say, unique features of our depths:
- Areas of Okhotsk, Bering and Barents Seas are the most productive in the world, and the productivity of our shelf in the West Kamchatka region reaches its highest levelin the world.
- in the waters of the seas of the Far East has enormous reserves of commercial fish species and other marine life that have global significance.For example, there live pollock, crab and Pacific salmon.
- If we compare, for example, from the North Atlantic, the stocks of cod in our Pacific and Arctic seas much more.
- Russian Sea contain the highest in the world a variety of salmon and sturgeon.
- most important migration routes of marine mammals and birds living in the northern hemisphere, pass it through the Russian coast of the seas.
Section 3 Sea Russia.Ecology and ways out of the situation
At the moment, people are actively affect the watery element, and most of this impact can be considered negative.Over the past few decades, especially affected the southern seas of Russia (Black and Azov).Under the influence of anthropological factors almost completely changed the local ecosystem of the region.
Among the major factors that pose a threat, I would have noted the following:
- Due to poaching and poorly regulated fisheries biological resources of the seas drastically reduced.
- Because of heavy traffic, as well as the active gas and oil offshore is not only the pollution of water supplies, but also disrupts the natural ecological processes.
- worst thing that happens at the same time, and pollution flowing into the sea, these rivers.
What to do?
Scientists suggest several ways out of this situation:
- should be almost completely and radically reforming the fishing industry of the country.Fishing should not deplete marine resources of the state.
- required to create a nationwide network of protected areas of the sea.For example, parks, reserves and sanctuaries.
- Before starting any project on the production of gas or oil, it is necessary to conduct a thorough environmental assessment of the terrain and the nature of the planned activities.
