Hello, people all over the world and especially my GNML friends. I'm so glad that you keep reading my blog because the number of views is impressive=) I appreciate it. Yesterday Google Alerts presented a gift to me. It offered a wonderful website about Caspian sea; facts, news and other different information.
I found a special page about it's environment. And I was stupefied. The environmental situation in the Caspian sea is one of great pressure. And it worse than I thought. Some areas have become dead zones, and the Caspian shelf mainly looses its validity as a place for spawning of the Caspian sea fishes. It is under a constant threat of pollution. There are various sources of the pollution, which we can classify as follows:
- River flow;
- Onshore industrial and municipal waste water;
- Offshore and onshore oil extraction;
- Sea level growth, as a result of the flooded coastal zone, where also many oil wells still function, pollutions reaches the sea.
