Today, the Caspian region is faced with a number of difficulties due to unresolved environmental problems, Rauf Gadzhiev, Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources, told reporters.
According to him, the problems of the Caspian have a negative impact on some sectors of the economy: “In addition to anthropogenic influences, such as the reduction of bioresources, pollution of the marine environment, the problems of natural origin – a long -term decrease in sea level due to climate change leads to degradation of the marine ecosystem. The fluctuations in the level of the Caspian Sea negatively affect the state of the coastal zones and a number of sectors of the economy associated with the sea. “
