The representative of the President in the Marine Development Headquarters believes that despite the decrease in the water level of the Caspian Sea and the retreat of water in this sea, ship traffic and economic activities in the northern ports of the country are ongoing and no disruptions have occurred. However, if the water level continues to decline and proper planning is not implemented, many ports will be at risk within the next five years.
