On the movement of motorised vessels in the natural reserve “Luban wetlands”

From 16 June 2015, the natural reserve “Lubana wetlands” in the Nature Park area (Luban Lake and Rēzekne river) is permitted to navigate by means of vessels using internal combustion engines with a power not exceeding 7,46 kW. The aforementioned vessels will be able to be used by 1 March.

As of April 10, 2015, amendments to the regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers “Personal Protection and Use Regulations of the Natural Resistance Lubana Wetlands” (10.02.2009, No. 135) have been reported. They determine changes in forestry activity, the construction of tourism infrastructure, the organisation of mass events, etc. in the relevant territory.

The rules generally provide for easier conditions, as the protection regime for stricter regulation is not established in comparison with the previous version. Amendments have also been incorporated into the amendments to reduce administrative burdens. Situations where one activity, such as mining, tree felling, had to be subject to administrative acts of two or more national regulatory authorities.

Existing provisions can be found in the amendments of 7 April 2015 HERE.

Amendments may be made available HERE.
