According to the Tehran Convention Public Participation Strategy, the annual organization of the Caspian Sea Day in each of the coastal countries, launched on the occasion of the entry into force of the Convention on 12 August 2006, is one of the main mechanisms for the public involvement into the Caspian Sea marine environment protection.

The importance of this event lies in the broad involvement of stakeholders, including civil society organizations and the private sector, into efforts to implement the provisions of the Tehran Convention and its Protocols.

In 2016, all three Caspian constituent entities – the Astrakhan region, Republics of Dagestan and Kalmykia – held events devoted to or connected with the Caspian Sea Day.  Most of the events were conducted in the format of ecological actions, initiatives on cleaning-up the rivers shores and the Caspian Sea coast and via the topic-based events for schoolchildren and students.
