the RDB sturgeon can freely buy any Ukrainian market. Under whose roof rybachat poachers?
Sales
shrimp has become one of tributyl holiday bythe sea. Its offer directly on the beach vacationers, and even, perhaps, unaware that industrial shrimp fishing for ten years already banned in Ukraine. However, from next year are going to lift the ban, all the same effect on him whatsoever.
According to Goskomstat, for the six months of this year in all of Ukraine rybhozyaystvah caught 80.9 tons of fish and fish protection officers for the same period were seized 342.2 tons with an average price of fish 20 UAH /kg brakon ¬ EASURES able to earn about 7 million UAH. But in the State Ecological Inspectorate, said WA, that the Fisheries withdraws only a tenth of the illegal catch and the real earnings of poachers are 120-150 million UAH. season.
It
strangers In the spring on the market stalls are freely sold all sorts of fish fry. All this - poached products, caught during spawning. But rybinspektsii do not think so.
poaching fish in our markets there is little, - assured Dmitry Hutsal, a leading ichthyologist Sevastopol territorial department of fish protection. - Sturgeon for sale can be seen, but it's the imported fish which are not caught on our sites. But scientists say that listed in the Red Book of sturgeons in the Ukrainian market are more common than in the reservoirs.
The fact that fish in Ukrainian waters become less - a fact, but how - hard to say, the available statistics is distorted, - says Anatoly Podobaylo, Associate Professor of Zoology, Kiev National University. Shevchenko. - Recent academic research on the subject were more 1990-ies..
However, projections based on fishing appear annually. They are doing on the basis of last year's data, but take into account only the products, which comes to rybopriemnye items. Same goes to the left, not taken into account, respectively, limits and quotas on the catch does not apply.
But this does not mean that the poachers are no ways to get official permission for its activity. Home loophole - to work for the benefit of science. Last year for scientific purposes had been taken 460 tonnes of fish roe.
In the Azov Sea fishing net fishing is prohibited altogether, but all operate under the research program, allegedly carried out the study, but actually point to commercial fishing (get a license for research, but is caught in an industrial scale - Ed.), - says Sergey Prosyanyk, state inspector of the State Ecological Inspectorate of Kiev. - For quota fishing industry to pay for each kilogram.
But Dmitry Hutsal opportunity to purchase quota rybpredpriyatiyami denied, he said, the Black Sea quotas even underutilized - for example, instead of 50 tons per year sprat caught only 24 tons
muddy water
differences in assessing the scale of illegal fishing is just playing into the hands of poachers. Also, it helps to turmoil in the structures that are designed to combat the illegal fishermen. Since independence, controlling fishing department reformed more than a dozen times. Established in 1994, the Ministry of Fisheries was abolished in three years. Built on the basis of its state committee in 2000 was transformed into the State Department, and in 2006 - again in the State Committee, a division of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy. Now in the State Fishery Committee of the de jure head of the three: the current Nikolai Shvedenko and two of its predecessor, recovered by the court.
In this structure, all locked on one person: the head of the State Fishery Committee, - says Sergey Prosyanyk. - People who came into the system in 2006, far from the fish protection. They need to earn money for higher ranks and implement mechanism for the transfer of water facilities for rent . All this smells like criminals, but the power shift in the structure usually is an extreme (as a rule, the deputy head), but the system continues to work on still. So Sergei Prosyanyk explained why he declined in 2006 from the post of deputy head of the State Fishery Committee. Nevertheless, such as it is small.
Any chief rybinspektsii buys his position, as far as I know, this office is $ 40-60 thousand, - says Alexander Chistyakov, chairman of the Association of Fishermen of Ukraine. - In addition, the chief rybinspektsii puts money monthly to his superiors. That is why they are interested not so much in preserving the industry, but in return the money invested. Because under each rybinspektorom runs from 3 to 25 teams of poachers.
The State Fishery Committee information about buying posts rybinspektorov called fiction. And referred to the statistics: for the first half rybinspektora showed 62,7 thousand violations, arresting nearly 57 thousand poachers. In rybinspektsii complain: it is very difficult to prove that abandoned gear and catch is owned by the detainee. And yet, for the institution of criminal cases since the beginning of the year was referred 357 cases to 455 people.
However, these figures are not indicative of the effectiveness of the fight against poachers. For example, last year had opened a criminal investigation into poaching of 665 people, and convicted only 139. This year, inspectors imposed fines amounting to 2.58 million UAH. And recovered was only 1.47 million UAH. And this despite the fact that, under existing methods of calculation, the damage only caught and fined by poachers, was 30.32 million UAH.
After poaching fishing methods cause the death of a much larger quantity of fish, rather than take away the poachers - Alex complains Vasilyuk, deputy chairman of the National Ecological Center of Ukraine. - Also, poachers are often overlooked network of rivers and lakes, after which they are packed for months and diversified livestock perish.
Poacher roof
Living in one of the villages on the banks of the Dnieper in the Cherkassy region say that on the islands of the Dnieper whole summer living fishermen. Daily from the islands move off boat with fish. Salaries of hermits is about 50 UAH per day, plus food. They have there own hierarchy: managers, guards, laborers. Catch them red-handed almost impossible, very difficult to descend unexpectedly - on mobile alert for poachers in advance of an upcoming test. But even if it is possible to detain illegal fishermen to catch, those are usually only interested in the auditors office, and then dial the number.
Poachers are working under the umbrella of all who are called according to his service to follow the rule of law on water bodies and in their vicinity, - says Igor Tiholaz, head of the press center VROO Gromada Ribalok Ukraine. - This is the police, and Fisheries, and ekoinspektsiya, and officials of different ranks at the regional level up to the management of municipal and regional administrations. And roof is often in several layers: everywhere there is a cum-matchmaker-brother, who works in the right place, and then takes effect esprit de corps. The roof is not refuse fresh fish and, of course, the monthly dues.
In developed countries, punishment for violation of environmental legislation - from a few thousand dollars and imprisonment. Prison term for illegal fishing and is registered in the Ukrainian law. But neither in Gosrybhoze nor Gosekoinspektsii could not name even one case where rybinspektor fell behind bars for this article. Equally loyal to the courts and to those who are called to deal with poachers. Although occasionally there are reports about the detention rybinspektorov for accepting a bribe, further punishment - silence. This usually ends in dismissal, and where at least - probation. Moreover, it is possible that over time staff will return to work in the structure.
About a dozen rybinspektorov annual fall for bribes - believes Igor Tiholaz. - But it can hardly be called successful work UBEP or prosecutors, often detained or not shared with those who you want to or have exceeded their powers .
None of the interviewees could not recall an example where the offender was deprived of freedom. Proof of this and arrest for bribery this year - both inspectors are at large.
In most countries, protection of nature do one or maximum two state structures, responsibilities and functions which do not intersect and are not duplicated. In Ukraine, for the order on the water simultaneously satisfy several departments: conservation, environmental inspection, water police, the territories of Ichthyology and other sanctuaries - protection of conservation services in the forests, rich in natural waters closed - forest inspection. As a result, a clear separation of powers does not lead to clashes of vested interests.
Last year during the inspection of Ichthyology reserve Sulimsky to be a haven for fish, we found 19 seiners who caught the fish, spread out over 50 km of networks, - said Alexander Chistyakov. - As soon as we tried to stop fishing, rybinspektsii officers arrived, they tried to arrest us. And this is despite the fact that we were with the staff of the State Ecological Inspectorate.
attempts to unite all controllers in the same state environmental inspection, remove her from the ministry and is directly subordinate to the Cabinet for several years do not find support in the higher echelons. Environmentalists give this simple explanation: the roof of poachers and reaches such heights as the Committee BP to combat organized crime and corruption, the Interior Ministry and Prosecutor General's Office.
Fish Protection inspectors to toughen the penalties for bribe-taking can be reallocated to the category of civil servants, which sought and environmental inspection, and public organizations. And benefit from the innovation and rybinspektora receiving higher salaries and pensions. But to do so can only deputies of the Verkhovna Rada or the heads of relevant ministries. Have no reason to abandon the fresh poached fish.
Gregory Puga: To get to the good place, it must buy
O cover for poachers involved in illegal fishing check the structure and methods of protection racket black fishermen The Power of Money spoke with the Head of the protection of water biological resources and fisheries management of the State Committee for Fisheries of Ukraine Grigory Pugoy.
last year in the inland waters of Ukraine, according to Goskomstat, caught 41.1 tons of fish. What is the number of illegal catch?
- give an exact answer is impossible. It is in the woods you can calculate how many trees were cut down, and in the water can not see anything. No one really can say how many fish we took custody of her and how much is left after a year - there is no such statistics. I can only say that six months of this year we arrested more than 342 tonnes of fish, but over the past year - 262 m. But this is only identified violations.
What methods to combat poachers can reduce illegal fishing?
- is now difficult to remain unnoticed, perform one arrest - and all poachers already posted. There is a puncture in our midst - not managed operations groups to leave Kiev, and in the region it is already waiting. Therefore, try to foul the trail as we can.
Now
fish protection budget cut by half, even at a premium does not always have money. We have a system of 759 inspectors across the country. It is necessary to increase the staffing, funding, raise salaries, improve the material base. Furthermore, it should at least three to five-fold increase in the size of fines, which now amount to 17-340 UAH.
Fish Protection Inspectors blamed the roof that they were poachers. Is it true?
- If we do reveal such facts, then try to get rid of these people without bringing them to justice. Every year, in large offices, five to ten forced to lay off employees for abuse, that is updated about 5% of the state. In addition, cases of abuse of law enforcers identify. This year there have been two criminal cases against rybinspektorov, both in the Crimea, for receiving bribes. First he took $ 300 for something that supposedly not noticed illegal fishing (by the way, it already released). The second was arrested on suspicion of taking bribes of $ 1,800 UAH. the market, he was released under recognizance not to leave.
Is it true that for the appointment of the Chief rybinspektora or rybinspektsii paid tens of thousands of dollars?
- Unfortunately, this is not just talking about our structure, but all the rest - to get to a good place to buy it. But whatever said, these facts we can not identify. Regarding the appointment of leaders, I assure you: none of them did not extorted.
Maybe, there were no extortion, they have proposed?
- Perhaps there are people who voluntarily give money, but they are not so much. On rybinspektorah now runs many stories, but if you look at the conditions in which they live, the very rich do not find. We have a deficit rybinspektorov, only in the chapter's five vacancies. The problem also is that come the young employees who want to get a lot at once.
Ichthyologists note that the number of fish in reservoirs dramatically reduced. State Fishery Committee is working to restore fish stocks?
- Of course. Only in the Kherson region has three of the plant, which the state budget funds for reproducing sturgeon, carp, pike, perch, in the Chernivtsi region, a plant for the reproduction of trout fish. This year we zarybili more than a million copies of sturgeon, in the autumn will be more large-scale stocking. Although due to the reduction of public finance these plans may not come true.
