Gazprom Dobycha Krasnodar releases over hundred thousand carp fingerlings into Kuban liman

Employees of Gazprom Dobycha Krasnodar and the Caucasus Biosphere Reserve released 118,000 fingerlings of common carp into the Bolshoy Milashevsky Liman in the Slavyansky District of the Krasnodar Territory. The purpose of the initiative was to replenish the aquatic bioresources in the reed beds across Kuban. The fingerlings were grown by the Angelinskoye fishery for Gazprom Dobycha Krasnodar. The average weight of a fingerling was 30 grams.

“Initiatives of this kind are part of the measures aimed at preserving environment in the regions of operations of our company. We strictly follow international environmental standards and the principles of Gazprom’s Environmental Policy. This is our first campaign in partnership with the Caucasus Biosphere Reserve. I am convinced that we are laying the foundation for long-term cooperation for the benefit of our region,” said Alexander Nechaev, Chief Engineer and First Deputy Director General of the company.

The environmental campaign for bioresources replenishment has become a tradition for Gazprom Dobycha Krasnodar. Over the course of three years, the company has helped release more than 400,000 specimens of various fish into the limans and rivers of Kuban and the Komi Republic.
