Hundreds of dead seals get discovered on Caspian Sea coast in Dagestan
Officials noted that the number of carcasses could rise as further searches are conducted. The Dagestan Ministry of Natural Resources emphasized that seal deaths are relatively common during the species’ annual migration.
“Scientists believe the main cause is asphyxiation of animals passing through areas of powerful natural gas emissions from the seabed associated with seismic activity,” the ministry explained.
