Aral Sea: The sea that dried up in 40 years – BBC News
Subscribe to BBC News www.youtube.com/bbcnews
The disappearance of the Aral Sea in Central Asia is one of the world’s greatest man-made disasters. In Kazakhstan, with the help of the World Bank, more than $80million have been spent trying to save the most northern part of the sea but this has only benefited a few hundred people. In this film, we speak to people still living in deserted fishing ports, to see how their lives have changed, and to find out whether they believe that they’ll ever see the sea again.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

I have heard stories about that place being so different than nowadays. There was water, and trees, and animals and the place was green and bountiful. Fifty years later, those stories seem so far fetched, because we see but a dead brown wasteland. The Aral Sea is one of the best examples of mankind's effects on the environment.

Let's say they restore the sea and its bounty.
Again, foreigners will flock to the area for money and exploit it until dry.
I won't claim to know what the solution is.

Compare it to Derby Road new developement. No nazi symbols gates or fences. 90k GBP a piece. Lowest.
Cut nazi symbols out and go ask a free agent. Do a test.
Ask 4 estimate just dont say its a nazi death camp.
Theyll give you round 90 to start with.

Fresh water for the Aral sea
https://jtvideos.blogspot.com/2022/07/fresh-water-for-aral-sea.html
An ambitious restoration project is bringing back fish—and fishermen—to the North Aral Sea in Kazakhstan, National Geographic reports. The Aral Sea was once one of the world's largest freshwater lakes, supplying tens of thousands of tons of fish every year.
The aral sea, also is water due to Stalin's cotton plantations.. But we are not that far away from the open ocean with only 100 metre drop to the open sea. So we are back to my idea of vacuum desalination.
