Ivory Coast of Sviatoslav National Nature Park (Ukrainian: Національний природний парк «Білобережжя Святослава»), in English the "white beaches of Sviatosloav", is situated on the north coast of the Black Sea in southern Ukraine. It covers portions of Dnieper–Bug estuary, the Kinburn Peninsula just south of the estuary, and Yahorlyk Bay, a shallow bay of the Black Sea itself. Adjacent to the site along the coast is the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve. The various tracts protect and display the steppe ecology of south Ukraine and the adjacent waters. The park is in Mykolaiv Raion in Mykolaiv Oblast.[1]
