The seventh environmental festival “Oceans Day” was held in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk with the support of the Sakhalin-1 project. This environmental education event is timed to coincide with World Maritime Day and is traditionally celebrated at the end of September. Festival visitors were told what everyone can do to protect the fragile marine ecosystem.
The world ocean is one of the largest ecosystems on the planet, a source of oxygen and an absorber of carbon dioxide. 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. More than 2 million species of various organisms live in rivers, lakes, seas and oceans: invertebrates, fish, mammals, birds and many others.
Festival guests took part in various educational stations, where they learned the “ABCs of Marine Mammals”, were able to draw their own whale, learn about the impact of human activity on the animal habitat and how to protect the sea from waste. Particularly popular were the stations “Inhabitants of the Deep Sea” and “Getting to Know the Seals”, “Pacific Eagle”, where you could learn about rare species of fish, mammals and birds of the Pacific coast of Russia.
Environmental care is an integral part of Rosneft’s corporate culture and social responsibility. The Company’s activities are based on the principle of preserving a favorable environment and biological diversity in the regions of its presence. A number of initiatives are aimed at studying and restoring rare species of animals, including conducting environmental education events and developing a responsible attitude to the use of natural resources.
The Okhotsk Sea gray whale population monitoring program has been implemented in the northeast of Sakhalin Island for 27 years. Scientists note that the population is growing and today there are already more than 350 individuals. Every year, the number of mammals is counted, their behavior is observed, and the food supply is studied, photo-identification studies and acoustic monitoring are carried out. The studies are carried out jointly with the leading scientific organizations of the country.
In 2024, the Company developed a new research program, which received positive reviews from experts at the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources. Scientists, together with the Company’s relevant specialists, will monitor gray whales throughout the navigation period until the Sea of Okhotsk is covered with ice and the whales head to their wintering grounds.
