Space Agency Sounds Alarm Over Gulf of Gorgan Situation

The surface area of Gulf of Gorgan is shrinking, satellite imagery by Iran Space Agency shows.
Experts with ISA have studied the gulf between 1975 and 2018. The gulf sits along the northern Golestan and Mazandaran provinces southeast of the Caspian Sea.
ISA head Morteza Barari says that the once-thriving gulf has been desiccating since the past five years.
Satellite imagery shows that between 1975 and 1980, the gulf had the minimum amount of water, with its surface area between 317 to 340 square kilometers.
