"The current retreat has deeper roots. The rivers flowing into the Caspian are also contributing less water than before. For instance, the flow of the Kura River is decreasing due to the impacts of climate change. In the Volga River basin, rainfall is not as abundant as it used to be. This also leads to a decline in the level of the Caspian Sea."

"If we look at the Azerbaijani coast of the Caspian Sea, particularly in the Novkhani and Lankaran areas, we can see that places that used to be islands are now peninsulas. Large areas have been left dry. Now, there is a problem with ships approaching the shore."

18. SOUNDBITE (Azerbaijani) Vugar Abdullayev, Chairman of the Baku Fishermen and Underwater Hunters Club:
"We are currently standing in the water, but if it were ten years ago, we would be 10 to 20 meters further inside the Caspian Sea from the shoreline where we stand now. However, due to global warming and the retreat of the Caspian Sea, we are now forced to cast our nets farther out to catch fish as the water continues to recede."
19. Various of men fishing
20. Close of fish
21. SOUNDBITE (Azerbaijani) Vugar Abdullayev, Chairman of the Baku Fishermen and Underwater Hunters Club:
"This summer, we witnessed mass die-offs of fish multiple times. Some people said they were poisoned, but that’s not the case. It was not a poisoning issue at all. Due to the rising air temperatures, the water heats up more, which reduces the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. As the oxygen percentage decreases, the fish struggle to breathe and, as a result, jump out of the water onto the shore in large numbers."

"The ongoing climate changes have led to a decrease in the water levels of the rivers flowing into the Caspian Sea, as well as an increase in evaporation from the sea surface due to global warming. All these factors have had a significant impact on the level of the sea."
