Project activities for the protection of the Caspian seal

Scientists will arrive on the coast to conduct field work and collect data. The resulting samples will be studied and analyzed in laboratories.

At the first stage, it is planned to attach satellite transmitters to three dozen individuals to study migration routes, as well as select biomaterials to assess the health of animals.

The results of the study will make it possible to create a recommendation for government agencies and companies in order to properly organize work in the Caspian Sea with the maximum reduction in the impact on the sea ecosystem.

The program will make it possible to compare the results of research, as well as to determine the main conservation measures for the conservation of the species.
