On behalf of the Russian Federation Committee on Water Economy, I
would like to welcome the participants of the NATO-sponsored
Workshop on the Problems of the Caspian Sea and the Circum-Caspian
States. The world's largest intercontinental sea/lake is well known
for its wealth mineral and fuel resources and sturgeon stocks' the
products of which (oil and caviar) are in constant demand on the
world market. During the last half-century the Caspian Sea has been
the focus of the scientific community concerned with its level
fluctuations. We were, and still are, solving a two-faceted issue:
to rescue the Caspian Sea and to rescue the population from the
Caspian Sea. To rescue the Caspian Sea is to address a broad
spectrum of environmental issues related primarily to water
pollution by waste water and petroleum products. To rescue the
population from the Caspian Sea means that an almost 2.5 m sea
level rise in the last two decades has resulted in flooding of vast
coastal areas deteriorating economic and social spheres of
activity. Solutions to these issues are linked to the numerous
mysterious aspects of recent Caspian Sea behavior. Regrettably, the
collapse of the USSR has led to a decline of marine observations
and control over the use of marine resources in the region.
Coordinated international action on the protection of living marine
resources have terminated, generating disastrous consequences.
