ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION FOR THE RELEASE OF STERLET FRY INTO THE WILD

RTL always pays special attention to the environment when implementing logistics projects, so together with Gazpromneft-MNPZ JSC, the Russian Federal Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography and the Moscow-Oka Territorial Directorate of the Russian Federal Fisheries Agency, we held an environmental action to release sterlet fry into the wild.

The Russian Federal Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography bred three and a half thousand sterlet fry specifically for our environmental action, and the Moscow-Oka Territorial Directorate of the Russian Federal Fisheries Agency issued a permit and coordinated the place where the fry were released into the Oka River in the Tula Region.

We invited children of our employees to take part in the environmental action in order to demonstrate by example the necessity of careful handling of natural resources and wealth of our Motherland. The main specialization of RTL is the logistics of high-tech equipment for oil and gas companies, so the students of the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas also took part in the environmental action. Specialists gave a fascinating talk about fish, the conditions under which they are kept and their habitat.

The event was interesting and informative not only for children but also for adults. The RTL company is not stopping there and is also implementing a tree planting project as one of its environmental initiatives.
