Ecosystems in the Caspian Sea region have been heavily modified by anthropogenic activities, mainly as a result of changes in the water flow and degradation of the water quality in the ecosystems. Changes in the regional environment have influenced regional economies, particularly obvious in the impacts on fish stocks. Using the methodology developed in the GIWA project, experts in the region carried out an assessment of the most important transboundary issues in shared waters in the region. This report focuses on the root causes for the most important drivers of environmental change in the region: habitat and community modification.
里海地区的生态系统因人类活动而发生了重大改变，主要是生态系统中水流变化和水质退化所致。区域环境的变化影响了区域经济，对鱼类资源的影响尤为明显。该地区的专家运用全球环境展望（GIWA）项目开发的方法，对该地区共享水域中最重要的跨界问题进行了评估。本报告聚焦于该地区环境变化最重要驱动因素的根本原因：栖息地和群落改变。
