Tugur ( Russian Тугу́р ) is a village (Selo) in the Khabarovsk region in the Far East of Russia with 389 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).
geography
The village is located about 600 kilometers north of the regional capital, Khabarovsk, on the right bank of the Kutyn River, not far from its confluence with the southern end of the Tugur Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk , off which the Shantar Islands are located. The Tugur River of the same name also flows into the bay to the southwest . The large peninsula jutting into the sea to the east , which separates the Tugur Bay from the Ulban Bay , is called the Tugur Peninsula .
Tugur is one of only six villages in the Tuguro-Tschumikanski Rajon , which is extremely sparsely populated with a total of only 2500 inhabitants on almost 100,000 km². The Rajon administrative center of Tschumikan is located almost 150 kilometers northwest at the mouth of the Uda .
Infrastructure and economy
The few inhabitants of the village live mainly from hunting and fishing. Tugur can only be reached by land in winter via a slope starting from Selo imeni Poliny Ossipenko on the Amgun , a good 150 kilometers away .
In the 1990s, the projected today RusHydro belonging Scientific Research Institute of turbines (NIIES) at the Tugur Bay, a tidal power plant with a capacity of 8000 megawatts . The tidal range of up to 5 m at the 90 km-long and 20 to 40 km wide, but the deep just over 20 meters bay should by means of a 37 km long barrage and up to 1000 "orthogonal" turbines similar to the reconstructed tidal power plant Kislaja Guba in Northern Russia can be used to generate energy. The current status of the project is not known; In contrast to an even larger project at the mouth of the Mesen in the White Sea , it is not part of the company's current investment plan, but was still under discussion in 2008 with the now-dissolved, semi-public predecessor company Unified Energy System .
