The new agreement, which Kamchatka and the Sakhalin Region plans to sign, will allow regulating the transit salmon fishing in the region of the Northern Kuril Islands, an employee of the press service of the government of the Kamchatka Territory told RIA Novosti.

After that, the catch of salmon of Kamchatka, Magadan and Khabarovsk origin along the routes of their migration in the coastal waters of the Northern Kuriles acquired an "unlimited" character. Now the governor of the Kamchatka Territory, Vladimir Solodov, has agreed with his Sakhalin counterpart to sign a new agreement. The parties will develop proposals to support conscientious miners of aquatic biological resources and to more effectively combat poaching.
"The problem is in the center of our attention, because there is an active illegal fishing with the use of prohibited drifter nets. The border department of the FSB of Russia is working there intensively enough to curb illegal fishing. We agreed with Valery Igorevich Limarenko that we will create a joint working group, in order to develop clear rules for fishing in this zone, as well as conclude a new agreement on the volume of catch of aquatic biological resources between Sakhalin and Kamchatka, "the press service quotes Solodov as saying.
