NIBULON responsibly conducts its environmental activities; in particular, the company constantly implements measures to prevent natural resources depletion. Fish stocking is one of these measures. The company has stocked the river in Buzke village (Voznesensk district) at the site of Voznesenska branch. NIBULON purchased 4.3 tons of silver carp fry worth more than UAH 234 thousand from KARPIO Ltd, a local producer whose ponds are in Nova Odesa town (Mykolaiv region). The fish stocking process was monitored by representatives of the State Environmental Inspection of the Southwest District, the Department of the State Agency of Reclamation and Fishery in Mykolaiv region, as well as by representatives from the local community. “Fish stocking is an important process to preserve and improve water bioresources. The main goal is to renew the native fish population, its species composition and quantity. In addition, fish stocking contributes to the biological cleaning of rivers and the improvement of river ecosystems”, said a state inspector of environmental protection from the State Environmental Inspection of the Southwest District, Oleksiy Hluschenko. Yuriy Zavoloka, a head of the Buzke United Territorial Community, also acknowledged the importance of NIBULON’s actions to maintain proper conditions of the Southern Buh, “The Southern Buh has gradually become shallow. NIBULON built Voznesenska branch in 2016, dredged the river and revived navigation. The company helped to stop illegal fishing here. The fleet, navigating the river, prevents poachers from catching fish. The regular fish stocking of the Southern Buh demonstrates NIBULON’s socially responsible attitude towards the environment.”Please note that in 2016, the company started activities on the Southern Buh to prevent the depletion of natural resources. The company stocked the river with 152 thousand herbivorous fish (silver carp, grass) and carp. In 2017, NIBULON stocked the river with 246 thousand fry of silver carp, grass carp and carp, and in 2019 with 40 thousand silver carp. The total weight of fish, released into the main artery in Mykolaiv region for the past six years, comprises more than 15.6 tons. Since the company commenced its patriotic project to revive Ukrainian rivers as transport arteries in 2009, NIBULON has stocked rivers with fish 18 times. As a result of these regular compensatory measures, the company has stocked the Dnipro, the Southern Buh, the Kakhovka Reservoir, the Kaniv Reservoir, the Kremenchuk Reservoir, and the Dnipro Reservoir with about 70 tons of silver carp, grass carp and carp, worth more than UAH 3 million.
