Today on the world map you can find two geographic sites with the name "Tuzla". The first point is a cape called Tuzla. But the second location is about which and speech will be in this article. The full name of the island is Kosa Tuzla. The word "scythe" is not accidentally present in the name, because even in the last century this island was really scythe. An example of such an object today can be a spit called Chushka. It is she who adjoins to In 1972, the Tuzlinskaya Spit in the Kerch Strait became the landing site for the Cossacks of the Black Sea army, after which a rapid population growth began here, and several dozen farmsteads were formed in a short time.

History of the Tuzla Spit

As mentioned earlier, in 1972 the Cossacks of the Black Sea army arrived on the island. At the beginning of the 20th century, farms of Cossacks were successfully located on these lands, who lived here with pleasure. In the early 30s, it was decided to dig a canal, which was necessary for the convenience of the passage of fishing vessels. But just a month later, a very strong storm occurred in these places, as a result of which the small channel turned into a fairly wide strait. Thanks to this, the Tuzla Spit turned into an independent island. In the late 1940s, the island's authorities decided to restore the structure of the former spit. Thus, a special structure was created, with the help of which it was supposed to restore land in a natural way. Special metal piles were supplied with a mesh stretched between them. This idea seemed very good, but, unfortunately, the structure did not justify itself and collapsed in the first winter. Thus, the island was named the Middle Spit. After its formation, the island became subordinate to the Temryuk region Krasnodar Territory... But soon the disgruntled inhabitants of the island decided to write a paper on reassignment, and the island began to obey the Kerch City Council. Thus, he was to become part of the Crimean ASSR.

By coincidence, the island did not have time to re-subordinate, since the Great Patriotic War, and naturally, there was no time for papers. And only 20 years later, the borders were fully restored. But it didn't end there, the borders were revised in subsequent years.

The difficult fate of the Tuzla spit

In 2003, the authorities decide to make another attempt to restore the spit. This time the approach was more solid. An entire dam was erected. The initiative for the construction came from the authorities of the Krasnodar Territory. Thus, between the two states, namely Ukraine and the Russian Federation, there was a conflict over the borders of the states. The bone of contention was the ownership of the island. After a meeting of the authorities of the countries, the construction of the dam was frozen.

In 2005, Ukrainian experts conducted research, during which it turned out that the waves really destroy the island, and soon it may disappear. After these studies, it was decided to strengthen the perimeter of the island with special blocks that will protect it from the effects of waves.

In 2014, for some reason, all Crimean peninsula moved to Russian FederationTherefore, the problem of the Kerch Strait has ceased to be relevant for negotiations between the authorities of the two states. Today, bridges are being built between the spit and the island, which is necessary to preserve the beautiful nature reserve called the Tuzla spit. According to preliminary estimates, the bridge connecting the mainland of Russia with Crimea will be completed by 2018.

Tuzla Spit (Tuzla Spit) is a scythe in the Kerch Strait on the Taman Peninsula, near the village of Taman. There are many interesting geographical objects near the spit. There are place names such as Tuzla Island, Tuzla Lake, Cape Tuzla.
The Tuzla Spit was formed as a result of the unification of small islands and shoals, under the constant influence of the ebb and flow of the Black and Azov Seas. Due to this, there was a gradual deposition of sand and its accumulation on a long section of the formed spit. As a result of human economic activity, Tuzla Island was formed, which was part of the spit back in the 20s of the last century. The island was a part of Ukraine until 2014. In 2003, during border conflict between the Russian Federation and the Ukrainian Republic, the spit was strengthened and lengthened. It was planned to restore the eroded area between the skeleton and the spit. But as a result of the conflict, actions for further construction and strengthening of the banks ended. Its length is about 4 km.
The Tuzla Spit is a unique place on one side washed by the Black Sea and on the other by the waters of the Taman Bay belonging to the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov, from which you can also see the Tuzla Island and Cape Tuzla itself, the Kerch Strait, the Crimean Peninsula, the Taman Upland, anchorage of large-tonnage sea vessels, a panorama of the spit opens. Chushka and port Caucasus. This is a place for active fishing and recreation. In summer, there was a camping and a beach on the spit. I advise you to take warm clothes with you, as the place is open and the wind can be very, very cold.
IN this moment construction work is underway on the spit. A bridge is already being installed between the spit and the Tuzla island. Soon, very soon, the main bridge will be built.

What is a geographic map

A geographic map is an image of the Earth's surface with a grid and legend, the proportions of which directly depend on the scale. A geography map is a landmark by which you can identify the location of that, the yoke of an array, an object or a person's place of residence. They are indispensable assistants for geologists, tourists, pilots and military personnel, whose professions are directly related to travel, long-distance travel.

Types of cards

Conditionally split geographic Maps possible in 4 types:

by the coverage of the territory and these are maps of continents, countries;
according to the intended purpose and it is - tourist, educational, road, navigation, scientific and reference, technical, tourist maps;
by content - thematic, general geographic, general political maps;
by scale - small-scale, medium-scale and large-scale maps.

Each of the cards is dedicated to a theme, the thematic reflects the islands, seas, vegetation, settlements, weather, soil, taking into account the coverage of the territory. A map can only represent drawn countries, continents or states separately on a certain scale. Taking into account how much the area is reduced, the scale of the map can be 1x1000,1500, which means a decrease in the distance by 20,000 times. Of course, it's easy to guess that the larger the scale, the more detailed the map is. And yet, individual parts of the earth's surface on the map are distorted, in contrast to the globe, which is able to convey the appearance of the surface without changes. The earth is spherical and distortions occur, such as area, angles, length of objects.

Spit Tuzla is located near the village of Taman in the Temryuk district of the Krasnodar Territory. It is famous and popular place recreation both among tourists and among locals.

After looking at the photos of the Tuzla spit on the Internet, we decided to go to rest between the two seas. To get to the Tuzla spit by car, you need to drive through Temryuk to Taman. In Temryuk, by the way, you can buy a good one at the factory. When you reach Taman, look carefully at the signs. There will be signs to the scythe. The road to the Tuzla Spit, although unpaved, is quite flat and you can drive any car without difficulty.
On one side of the Tuzla Spit, the sea was muddy and gray, and on the other, dark blue.

The Spit of Tuzla itself is made artificially. It protrudes in a narrow long strip right into the sea. Its length is about 4 kilometers. They say that the fish on the Tuzla Spit are visible and invisible. I myself did not catch, but there are a lot of fishermen on the spit, both from one side and the other.
There are also enough lovers of spearfishing and diving on the spit. Dolphins often come here, stingrays are found, or as they are also called sea cats, you can find shells - rapana, gobies, mullet, pelengas and flounder. I am telling you from the words of a local fisherman with whom we got into conversation.
Opposite the Tuzla spit, Ukraine is the Kerch Strait, after all. Mobile phones immediately start working in roaming mode and an SMS comes in, where they congratulate you on your arrival in Ukraine.

The entry into the sea on most of the spit is not very good. Basically, stones near the coast, large and quite sharp. Putting up a tent is also problematic. There is a very narrow strip of land near the coast. And stopping right on the road is both inconvenient and unsafe.
But if you drive almost to the very end of the Tuzla spit, there will be an already equipped beach. Here entry into the sea is normal and there is a place for tents. But if a strong wind blows, it is not very pleasant to stay on the spit. We did not dare and left for the Taman Peninsula. We stopped in a wonderful place, a small lagoon, where there was almost no wind, and the sea and nature were amazing.

An interesting place on the Taman Peninsula.

The spit near Cape Tuzla, once adjacent to the Taman Peninsula, turned into an island in 1925, when the Kuban Cossacks for convenience fishingin order not to bend around the multi-kilometer spit, we decided to dig a channel in it for the passage of boats. According to the creators of the channel, it should not have caused damage to nature, but already in the same year, during violent storm a "washout" formed on the spit, which only increased over the years. Over time, the tip of the spit became an island separate from the mainland - Tuzla.Only in 2003 was the spit restored by the Russian side.
