For many years, coastal navigation has connected republics in the former Soviet Union. It used the only outlet from the Caspian, the Volga-Don canal, which connects the Black Sea and the Russian canal system to the Baltic. It is still used to transport raw materials, timber, coal, grain, fertilizers, and other products. However, the oil boom has changed the way the Caspian Sea is used as a transport route. In the absence of an agreement on the use of the seabed, including the laying of pipelines, crude oil is transported in tanker wagons rolled onto ferries or in small tankers. This has stimulated the ferry business. The shipyards at Nizhny Novgorod have recently delivered several 8 000 or 13 000 deadweight tonnage tankers, the largest that can be used given the limitations on access to the sea and its ports. Ferry services connecting Aktau and Turkmenbashi to Baku, and Olia to the coast of Iran are being supplemented by coastal rail links, all impacting on and introducing new risks to the natural and living environment of the growing population in the coastal areas of the Caspian Sea.

The population dynamics of the Caspian littoral states (US Census Bureau 2010) in 1992 – 2007 vary: while the overall population of Kazakhstan and Russia has declined by 7.6 and 4.8% respectively, the population of Azerbaijan grew by 8.2%, of Iran by 16.0% and of Turkmenistan by 19.8%. However, the total Caspian coastal population (including only administrative units contiguous to the Caspian Sea) gradually increased from 1999, and has stabilized at approximately 15.475 million by 2007 (National Statistics).

July 9, 2022 - Caspian Tern fishing at San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary. Photo Shoot with Leticia Hernandez, Esther Mukai, and Ayla.
Bird Island, Seychelles
We understand that this is the first time a Caspian Plover has been recorded on Bird, so we were particularly pleased to see it. This isn't a brilliant shot of it, but it was hard enough to pick it out from the many Grey Plovers, let alone get close to it! This is a heavy crop.
I have a couple of new bracelets today.
This one uses gorgeous faceted chunks of intense Neon Apatite, interspersed with smooth grey Quartz, and finished with a statement clasp in hammered sterling silver.The combination of the aqua Apatite and the steely grey Quartz conjures up images of icy winter sea crashing against granite cliffs.
This banded Caspian Tern was photographed at the beach near San Simeon Creek. The background is the eroding bluffs behind the beach.
