Why Sturgeon?

The Sturgeon holds a unique place in the ecological balance of the Caspian Sea, not only as a majestic inhabitant of its depths but also as the source of one of the world’s most coveted delicacies – caviar. Yet, this ancient fish faces numerous threats to its survival, including overfishing and habitat degradation. By participating in this release, you play a vital role in safeguarding the future of the Sturgeon and the delicate ecosystem of the Caspian Sea.

A Symbol of Hope

With each Sturgeon gently returned to the embrace of the Caspian waves, you contribute to a brighter future for this magnificent species. Your actions echo a commitment to conservation and sustainable practices, ensuring that future generations will continue to marvel at the grace and beauty of the Sturgeon in its natural habitat.
