The enviroment situatuon on the Caspian Sea. Causes of problems and solutions.

 

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:

1. River flow;
2. Onshore industrial and municipal waste water;
3. Offshore and onshore oil extraction;
4. Sea level growth, as a result of the flooded coastal zone, where also many oil wells still function, pollutions reaches the sea.

Please take your time to read this page and get informed about the seriousness of the situation. You will also find some interesting information about Caspian Sea which you will enjoy.
