Ecological problems of Kosino
Lake Beloe in Kosino today hasa number of problems that arose due to a lack of oxygen in the water. After the fishing and sports club "Fortuna" relocated to another location, the artificial aeration of the reservoir stopped. Because of this, there was a massive loss of fish in the winter.
The main reason for this phenomenon isthe wrong policy of the administration of the Kosinsky Nature Park. If previously the care for the ecosystem of the reservoir was handled by the club "Fortuna", then after the court's decision about self-seizure by the given organization of the territory, all responsibility was transferred to the administration of the park. However, the necessary measures were not taken. First, the state of water worsened, including after winter ice-sheets, when there was a decrease in the level of oxygen in the reservoir. Secondly, the catching of fish has become massive, including repeated attempts by poachers to use the lake network. These two factors played a key role in the fact that the ichthyofauna lost its diversity. In addition, the fact of water decay from a large number of surfaced fish affected the quality of tourists' rest.
Таким образом, на сегодняшний день встал вопрос о The preservation of the unique ecosystem of the White Lake in Kosino. Only a competent policy of the administration, environmental organizations and the correct position of tourists will help preserve the pristine beauty, picturesqueness of places and the rich flora and fauna of the famous triozero of Kosino-Ukhtomsky district.
