With the opening of the fishing season, the Inspectorate for the Protection of Fauna and Flora urges amateur anglers and citizens visiting water bodies to treat natural resources with care, not to leave litter on the banks of reservoirs and at campsites, not to throw it into the water, not to cut down trees, and to light fires only in designated areas.

Water and fish are two invaluable gifts of nature, inextricably linked. Humans constantly use these resources, therefore they are simply obliged to treat them rationally. Nevertheless, the culture of nature management, characteristic of some of our compatriots, leaves much to be desired. Many fishermen recall how, during fishing trips, they had to pull the most unexpected items out of the water – footwear, clothing, household utensils. Often these "trophies" are left behind by their own companions after ice fishing, as well as a mass of other small debris, which after the ice melts settles at the bottom or washes ashore.
The Rules for Fishery Management and Fishing oblige anglers to maintain the proper sanitary condition of fishing grounds, not to leave litter and other waste on their banks, and to prevent pollution and contamination. State inspectors will monitor compliance with these requirements in the upcoming season. Malicious violators will be brought to administrative responsibility in the form of a fine of up to 20 base units.
Also, the Rules for Fishery Management and Fishing prohibit the parking of motor vehicles within the boundaries of the coastal strips of water bodies up to 30 meters from the shoreline of a water body, and the washing of vehicles and other technical equipment within the water protection zones of water bodies. For violation of these requirements of the Rules, administrative responsibility is also provided in the form of a fine of up to 20 base units.
