A petition against the demolition of the children's water base on the bank of the Strogino floodplain appeared on the website change.org. All those wishing to save the place for water sports, tourism and sailing training can sign the document addressed to the mayor of Moscow S. S. Sobyanin.

The water sports base was established in 1995 and nowadays exists but according to the departmental decision the land plot where the base is situated was transferred to the Moscow Land Resources Department.

This means that the Regional Children's Public Organization «Sailing Club "Gardemariny"», Junior Marine Club «Scarlet Sails», «School of the Wind», Creative Association of Travelers «Zuid-West», tourist association «Sailing Society» are on the territory illegally and must leave it. This will make it impossible for children to participate in water sports.

Apart from «eviction of» recreational centers using the water base, the petition signed by teachers, parents and concerned people calls upon the Moscow City Government to grant the territory at Bolshaya Stroginskaya Poima, Projected Proyezd 5432, to the Children's Aquatic Center of Sea Traditions, which is to be created on the basis of the existing organizations.
