Every year, up to 8,000 tons of fish are caught in the Small Aral Sea. Experts believe that this success has been made possible due to years of efforts to protect the sea. Since 2022, reconstruction work on the Kokaral dam has been underway, which will ensure a stable supply of water to the sea and develop economic and social initiatives.
“The agreement signed by the ministers of water resources of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan played an important role.
