“Caspian Seal” the scientific and educational film | NCOC

The Caspian Sea is the largest enclosed lake on Earth extending over the territory of two parts of the world – Asia and Europe. It has a unique ecosystem, which is home to over four hundred endemic species specific to this region only.

The Caspian seal is an endemic and the only representative of aquatic mammals in the Caspian Sea. It is at the top of the trophic chain, so the stable state of its population serves as an indicator of well-being of the entire marine ecosystem.

In 2019, NCOC initiated the Caspian Seal Comprehensive Study Program with the participation of leading scientific and research organizations from Kazakhstan and Russia.

The 5-year program (2019-2023) included studies such as:
🔹 Caspian seal distribution and habitat structure
🔹 population size
🔹 condition of their habitats

We invite you to watch the scientific and educational film “Caspian Seal”, created at the request of the Fisheries Committee of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan and
