Caspian Sea recession uncovers new islands
The retreat of the Caspian Sea's waters has revealed new islands in the northern part of the sea, particularly near Kolali Island, amid declining water levels that are attributed to climate change and human activities. Scientists warn that this decline could lead to a fate similar to that of the Aral Sea, with continuous water loss and associated environmental changes, as depths typically range between three and six meters. Wildlife such as wild boars and wolves have been observed migrating into the newly emerged land, while experts anticipate the appearance of new landmasses. However, their permanence is uncertain and depends on seabed conditions and climatic variations. It is noted that over 80% of the Caspian Sea's inflow comes from the Volga River, and the current decline is blamed on rising temperatures, increased evaporation, and human activities like dam construction and excessive water usage, all of which threaten the environment and the natural balance of the sea.
