(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
TEHRAN, Iran, April 21. The Ports and Maritime
Organization of Iran have started dredging works in the Gorgan Bay,
said the Iranian Government Spokesman Ali Bahadori Jahromi, Trend
reports citing ISNA.
'The project contractor has been designated and is to receive a
permit (to work) from the Department of Environment,' he said.
He pointed out that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has called
for necessary actions for dredging the Gorgan Bay and that there is
no problem with ecotourism in Ashourdeh.
Experts in climate change and global warming believe that
uncontrolled water withdrawal of aquifers, reduced rainfall, and
increased evaporation are the most important reasons for the drying
up of Gorgan Bay.
Gorgan Bay is the largest gulf in the Caspian Sea, it is located
at the south-eastern shore of the Caspian Sea near the Iranian
cities of Behshahr, Gorgan, and Sari and is separated from the main
water body by the Miankaleh peninsula and extends until the
Ashuradeh peninsula
