Background of the society

After visiting of Danish ecology group to Aralsk in 1991 there appeared an idea to revive the sea by supporting a sustainable fishery in the sea. It was the basis for the creating of the International Danish Kazakh fishery project “From Kattegat to the Aral sea”. As the result of the project work the first Kazakh delegation visited Denmark to exchange experience. Aral fishermen joined into fishery cooperatives and in 1996 on the Smal Aral sea there was organized the trial fishery of the flounder. It was the prove that there is a potential to develop the fishery on Aral! The initiative group which worked with the Danish delegation was an establisher for the NGO “Aral Tenizi” in 1998.
