Mass die-off of seals prompts water quality testing in Mangistau region
The Ecology Department of the Mangistau region announced on Tuesday that its laboratory and analytical control division had collected seawater samples following a mass die-off of seals, according to Kazinform News Agency.
On November 3, specialists gathered water samples near the coastal towns of Fort-Shevchenko and Bautino. This came after the discovery of seal carcasses that had washed ashore in the Bautino area of the Tupkaragan district.
The department also noted that 112 additional Caspian seal carcasses were found along the coastline stretching from Asan town to the cape near Bautino during a joint monitoring mission with the local fisheries inspection team.
Earlier reports indicated that nearly 2,000 seals had been found dead along the Caspian Sea coast in the Mangistau region in November of the previous year.
