Today is a World Maritime Day.
It is one of the UN international holidays established at the 10th Session of the Assembly of the UN Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization held in London in 1978.
The World Maritime Day is seeking to raise awareness of conservation of the biological, natural, and recreational resources of the seas for future generations.
The Pre-Caspian countries also celebrate the World Maritime Day despite the Caspian Sea being often referred to as a salty lake. However, due to the extent, natural peculiarities and the complex hydrological processes, the Caspian Sea is commonly classified as a closed intra-continental sea.
To learn about NCOC’s activities in conservation of the Caspian Sea biological resources and environmental initiatives please watch a documentary film available on our YouTube channel.
