Natural pollution There are also natural pollution sources in the sea like mud volcanoes or griffins. Mud volcanoes erupt frequently on the coast, on islands and on banks of the South Caspian. As a result of this processes new banks and islands are formed on the Caspian sea, most of which is washed away subsequently. Pollution from the oil industry and dams on rivers draining into the Caspian Sea have had negative effects on the organisms living in the sea. The wide and endorheic Caspian Sea has a north–south orientation and its main freshwater inflow , the Volga River , enters at the shallow north end.

One general threat to the Caspian is pollution, a significant source of which is oil. Each year some 1.5 billion barrels of that resource, pumped from wells around the seacoast and in the sea itself, are extracted, refined, and transported.

As well as the seals and other endemic species including Caspian turtles and the famed beluga sturgeon, the sea boasts vast energy reserves, estimated at 50 billion barrels of oil and 300,000 billion cubic metres of natural gas.

As well as the seals and other endemic species including Caspian turtles and the famed beluga sturgeon, the sea boasts vast energy reserves, estimated at 50 billion barrels of oil and 300,000 billion cubic metres of natural gas. Pollution from the extraction of that oil and gas, However, pollution is a serious and dangerous problem for this vast sea and its enclosed environment, so that annually about 122 thousand tons of pollutants from Caspian littoral states, including oil pollution, household (domestic) and industrial sewage, different types of wastes and plastics, and pollutants of commercial fleets pollute the sea environment and endanger different biological species. The Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea (Teheran Convention) was signed in November 2003. [ZIP FILE !] According to a UN press release on the signing of the Convention, "the Caspian Sea is under severe stress from industrial pollution, toxic and radioactive wastes, agricultural run-off, sewage, and leaks from oil extraction and refining. Just remember the persistent pollution in oil production areas in the Caspian Sea or the amounts of annual discharges (about 40 million tons of produced waters polluted by oil products) during offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico [Anonymous, 1993]. At the same time, no reliable balance estimates exist for these regions.
