a preserve in the northwestern Latvian SSR (Ventspils Raion). It occupies the island of Moritz (83 hectares [ha]) and the western part of Lake Usmas-Luzikerte. Total area, 835 ha. The preserve was founded in 1912; the water area was made part of the preserve in 1957. The vegetation is rich and varied. Broad-leaved trees predominate: there are pure linden forests and oak groves with birch, aspen, black alder, spruce, and pine.

Hares, foxes, and various singing birds live in the preserve; aquatic birds rest on the lake during their migrations.
