Nature of Russia. Magadan. Magadan reserve. Spawning grounds for salmon.

The Kava-Chelomdzhinsky site is the largest in the Magadan Reserve. To get to a remote cordon, you need to overcome more than a hundred kilometers of wayward taiga rivers. There is a unique Khuren spawning ground. Salmon spawn in early summer. In autumn, the turn of chum salmon will come, then coho salmon. Every year, the spotted seal leaves the habitual waters of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and rushes to the rivers for abundant and affordable food. Fish is also the main source of food for the mighty bird - the Steller's sea eagle, listed in the International Red Book. The Steller's sea eagle lives in Kamchatka and along the entire coast of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. It breeds only in Russia. Every year, employees of the Magadan Reserve conduct a count of these huge birds of prey.
On the Koni peninsula, washed by the waters of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, there is the Olsky section of the reserve. The cordon of the reserve is located on Cape Plosky. Here, one of the largest rivers of the peninsula, the Khindzha, flows into the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Here, all the rivers are exclusively “pink salmon” - only this type of salmon comes here to spawn. The Koni Peninsula is a fertile land for the brown bear. Every season, generous nature offers local bears a variety of treats. In summer - exclusively fish table. Many birds nest on the steep cliffs of the peninsula. The most numerous here are slaty-backed gulls and kittiwakes. The Bering cormorant, the smallest and most widespread of the six cormorant species, also nests here. On the southern, sun-warmed, grassy slopes, there are colonies of puffins and puffins. The basis of life in the underwater world is algae. Like plants on land, they are involved in the process of photosynthesis and supply our planet with oxygen. Algae are a safe haven for many underwater inhabitants. A wide variety of organisms coexist side by side here. The harsh nature of the Magadan region is unique. There are still many roads, passing through which you can become a witness of a unique show that can amaze even the most sophisticated spectators.
