From: Rapid decline of Caspian Sea level threatens ecosystem integrity, biodiversity protection, and human infrastructure

Fig. 4

Maps showing: a Sea area reduction from the Caspian seal breeding Important Marine Mammal Area (IMMA), under 2.5 m, 5 m, 10 m and 15 m decline scenarios; and b Summer/Autumn and Winter/Spring sturgeon ranges under estimated Caspian Sea level decline scenarios; inset graph quantifies percentage area reduction for each season group.
