The sea plays a key role in the economies of these countries, supporting such industries as fishing, agriculture and tourism. Early signs of the Caspian Sea\u2019s shrinkage appeared in the mid-2000s, but in the past years, the rate at which the level is dropping has accelerated, according to this institute, which estimates the loss rate at 23 centimeters (9 inches) per year.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists are still debating the causes for the declining water levels in the Caspian. Some Kazakhstani environmental experts say that changes in climate and intensive human use of the Volga and the Ural, two main rivers that originate in Russia and flow into the sea, are affecting the Caspian. Some scientists dispute the claim that the reduced flow of water is at play behind the shrinking of the Caspian Sea.<\/p>\n<p>The causes and long-term impacts might not be clear, but in some settlements and towns along the Caspian shore, people are already feeling the immediate impact from the receding waters. In Turkmenistan, for example, ferries that carried residents and tourists have reportedly stopped operating between some towns because the sea level has dropped.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/shrinking-caspian-sea-worries-environmental-activists\/7613064.html\">VOA News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-529\/\">Shrinking Caspian Sea worries environmental activists<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[7053,575,14535],"class_list":["post-130408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-caspian-sea","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-water-levels"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130408\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
