Iran's Shorelines in Jeopardy by Construction

Hardly any stretch of the northern Caspian Sea coastline is left pristine, and Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman shores are threatened by human activity and urban development.
Iran boasts over 5,800 kilometers of shoreline which extend across the northern and southern borders; however, inefficient management and inaction have left the valuable lands under the destructive hands of man, IRNA reported.
More popular with travelers, especially from the capital, the northern coasts have suffered greater damage.
