ATYRAU. KAZINFORM - In Atyrau, more than 1.5 thousand fishermen lost their jobs due to the silting up of the navigable canal "Zaroslyi".
Environmental prosecutor's office of Atyrau region recognized the problem.
"It is difficult to go to the sea because of the low water level in the canal. This is due to easterly winds which expel water from the canal. Another reason is that the canal dredging was last carried out in 2010-2011. Since that time, the channel has not been cleaned. Currently, prosecutors analyze the situation in details. Relevant authorities will be submitted with the acts of prosecutorial response," informed in the environmental prosecutor's office.
