Sardor Khamidov, CEO of Sea Breeze Uzbekistan, presented the concept of the resort and its socio-economic potential.<\/p>\n

According to Sardor Khamidov, 577 hectares of land have been allocated for the project, of which more than 5.5 hectares are along the coast\u00a0of the reservoir. As part of the project, a centralized water supply will be organized not only for the complex, but also for two neighboring villages, Boladala and Yakkatut.<\/p>\n

Eight thousand jobs will be created during construction and in the service sector after the resort is commissioned. Ten thousand tree seedlings will be planted, mainly new species, including Spanish palms, which can withstand 20-degree frost. The trees are undergoing acclimatization.<\/p>\n

Roads and sewage systems will be built, and there will be paid and free beaches. Wastewater will be treated and discharged into the city sewage system.<\/p>\n

The first stage involves the construction of residential complexes, hotels, restaurants, and other facilities on 100 hectares.<\/p>\n

According to Firuza Sultanova, environmental advisor at Sea Breeze, the company advocates for the creation of green resorts within the framework of legislation, taking into account environmental impact assessments (EIA) and compliance with state procedures.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharvak is a beautiful natural site, and it must be preserved,\u201d she said, while acknowledging that the impact on nature would not be zero, but could be minimized.<\/p>\n

\"\"Gulzhan Amonova, a human rights lawyer, shared her observations:<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

«On the one hand, it seems good that they have finally decided to officially listen to the public, but on the other hand, these hearings seem somewhat belated, unless the State and the contractors prove otherwise…<\/p>\n

In accordance with Article 6 of the Aarhus Convention, public participation must begin at an early stage, when all options are still open, before the start of activities, before the approval of project documentation, and before the start of construction.<\/p>\n

In addition, Article 5 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan \u201cOn Environmental Expertise, Environmental Impact Assessment, and Strategic Environmental Assessment\u201d (No. ZRU-1036) establishes the \u201cBasic principles of environmental expertise, environmental impact assessment, and strategic environmental assessment\u201d:<\/p>\n
