The territory of the National Park includes the group of Tuzly Lagoons: which consist of parts of the larger lagoons Shahany, Alibey, Burnas; and the small lagoons Solone Ozero, Khadzhyder, Karachaus, Budury, Martaza, Mahala, Malyi Sasyk, and Dzhantshey.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, dead Black Sea bottlenose dolphins washed up at the park's coastline. This continued until 2023 when the fighting in the Black Sea shifted further east.[3]
