Abstract

The Caspian Sea, a unique enclosed body of water, is not only home to endemics, but is also navigable and rich in important economic resources such as oil, fish, sand, and recreational resources. The author analyzes a negative impact the intensive economic activity in the Caspian countries has on the ecology of the region. Thanks to international and local environmentalists, the governments of the Caspian countries have realized the need to take environmental issues into account in the process of further economic integration, without reducing the intensity of economic activity in the countries of the region. In this study, the author attempts to show the significance of the adopted Tehran Convention and the role of interstate cooperation in solving environmental problems.

Keywords: Caspian Sea, ecological problems, climate change, Tehran Convention, anthropogenic factors, cooperation of the Caspian states, consequences of oil production.
