Abstract

In recent years, many developed countries of the world have been successfully learning and mastering the Basic scheme of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) ecological-economic systems (EES). The need to overcome the backlog of Russia in the study and discussion of the provisions of SEEA is, according to experts, one of the main conditions of transition to sustainable development. The environmental situation in Russia is not as gloomy as in other countries, despite the decline of economic production in recent years and low population density on the vast territory. Analysis of indicators of the negative impact on the environment shows that increasing impact to the atmospheric air is made by the manufacturing and mining industries; more than half of contaminated wastewaters are discharged by electric power plants and gas and water distribution systems; huge losses occur in the process of water transportation in agriculture and forestry. A significant volume of water intake from natural water objects of Russia, discharge of polluted waste waters, along with other objective factors adversely affect the habitat of aquatic biological resources (especially fish) that are of great social and economic importance. There decreased volumes of production of live, fresh and chilled fish; production of canned fish has increased, as well as the amount of waste of fish and other water biological resources; increased production of fish meal and pellets, which in general can be characterized as unsustainable use of valuable natural resources. In terms of use of fish and other aquatic biological resources it is advisable to form EES in river basins or seas. The interaction of EES subsystems is carried out through direct and feedback correlations. For further implementation of the main provisions of the Concept of Russia’s transition to sustainable development (1993) it is necessary to establish new parameters of the long-term economic development, as modified by social and environmental costs.
