  • The following priorities have been determined for the improvement of the condition of the international seawaters and the protection of the richest diversity of the coastal zone:

    1. Reducing the pollution level of the marine environment: purification of domestic and industrial waste waters, decrease of air pollution, etc. by means of construction of modern treatment facilities and introduction of new technologies of waste waters treatment at the existing enterprises, both at the coast of the East Sea and the Tumen River basin;

    2. Improvement of collection, storage and utilization of solid wastes by means of constructing reprocessing and sorting facilities, allocating ecologically reasonable sites for solid wastes. Introduction of recycling technologies;

    3. Taking measures to decrease atmospheric pollution;

    4. Cleaning and restoration of beaches, recreation zones, cleaning the river beds from garbage, including the program of cleaning the bays from oil products, polluted silt sediments, frames of sunk vessels;

    5. Protection of the forests of the Tumen River basin and the coastal zone and protection of the soil from erosion;

    6. Supporting FESMR, improvement of its protection, expansion of the nature reserve borders;

    7. Development and introduction of modern technologies in mariculture field;

    8. Reducing the level of poaching and uncontrolled fisheries by means of their prevention, strengthening of fisheries control, increasing the responsibility of poachers and illegal seafood traders before the law;

    9. Establishing a station of complex ecological monitoring in the near-mouth zone of the Tumen River on the crossing of the borders of three countries (Khasan railway bridge), organizing regular meteorological, hydrological and complex ecological observations of the condition of atmospheric air, water, soil, bottom sediments, biota, a study of the processes of transboundary transfer, which is most important for the assessment of the pollutants inflow to the marine environment with the waste waters of the Tumen River.

    10. Creating a network of marine monitoring stations in the southwestern part of Peter the Great Bay for the control of the environment and biota.

    11. For the Peter the Great Bay, it is necessary to create a modern system for accidental events prediction and development of measures for their liquidation. It should include online oil spill forecast system based on the standards of the existing world systems supported by WMO and nuclear wastes forecast system according with IAEA requirements.

    12. Development of economic measures to regulate nature management including preferential taxation, more strict punitive measures (up to criminal responsibility).
