More than 130 seals found dead on Caspian Sea Beaches
Five nations form the border of the Caspian Sea, the world’s biggest inland body of water: Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Turkmenistan. Overhunting and the impacts of industrial contamination have long been a problem for the Caspian Sea’s seal population. The Caspian seal, the only member of its species found in the Caspian Sea (the largest inland body of water in the world), was added to the Kazakh government’s list of endangered species in November 2020.
