In accordance with the provisions of the Tehran convention and its Strategy for Civil Society Engagement in the Caspian Sea Marine Environment or Public Participation Strategy (PPS), one of the main mechanisms for the stakeholders involvement into the Caspian Sea marine environment protection is the annual celebration of the “Caspian Sea Day” in each of the Caspian Sea littoral states. The fest was established on August 12, 2006, to mark the entry into force of the Convention.
The regional activity of the ecologically-oriented organizations covers such areas as minimization of the Caspian Sea marine and coastal environment pollution, dissemination of information on the environment status, environmental education and awareness-raising which mainly relates to bringing up the younger generation – schoolchildren and students.
In 2018, the activity devoted to the Caspian Sea marine and environment protection was conducted in all three Caspian Sea constituent entities of the Russian Federation – the Astrakhan region, the Republic of Dagestan and the Republic of Kalmykia.
