Iran shows growing concern about declining sturgeon stock

The iranian government urges the president of the Caspian Sea states to sign the Convention for the Legal Regime of the Caspian Sea, which would settle the territorial rights of each country and most of all alleviate environmental concerns for the world’s largest land-locked body of water.

Some fisherman see themselfs already as the last generation of its kind in the Caspian Region. Because of heavy pollution (sewage, oil drilling, etc.), poaching and over-fishing, the sturgeon population in that region is in free fall since the last years. Some even say, that within the next 10yrs. this ancient caviar production will come to an end. 

Iran is the only mentionable state in that region that undergoes heavy efforts in order to re-stock this endangered species without a hidden agenda (as for example Russia and Kazakhstan do with their caviar mafia and corrupt system). 

Lets hope that Teheran finds a way to convince them all and to round up the table!
