As a result of the implementation of the environmental measures taken by the "Sevan National Park" SNCO special task force, 19 illegally installed crab traps of 10 m in length were found and removed from the water part of the area called "White Beach" of Norashen reserve in the conservation zone of the Sevan branch of the national park.
The protocols on the violation of the law were directed to the environmental protection and subsoil inspection body for appropriate processing.
Environmental measures are continuous in nature.
Dear citizens, we urge you to refrain from prohibited activities and not to overload the lake with illegally installed crab traps and fishing nets, thereby not only the ecosystem of the lake is violated, but also its fauna and flora are endangered.
