Caspian seal protection
The Central Asian Institute for Environmental Research (CAIER) has been studying the population of the Caspian seal since 2015. During this time, 10 international expeditions have been carried out with the participation of leading global scientists in the field of marine biodiversity.
The expeditions revealed a catastrophic deterioration of the ecological situation in the Caspian Sea.
On August 7, 2019, in Aktau, at the initiative of ecologist Assel Tasmagambetova and based on CAIER, a decision was made to open the Caspian Seal Research and Rehabilitation Center.
This is the only specialized institution on the Northern Caspian that provides veterinary assistance to the endemic species of the Caspian Sea.
In turn, the data from international expeditions organized by CAIER became the basis for including the Caspian seal in the Red Book of Kazakhstan. Scientists of the Institute developed the biological justification for adding the Caspian endemic species to the list of rare and endangered species in Kazakhstan.

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.
