STS102-703-39

Russia: Kara Bogaz Gol Bay, sand spits separating the bay from
the Caspian. During the previous Caspian recession, the natural pass
was dammed (1980) to restrict water to the deeper Caspian basin.
Brine and salt works began in the bay and a controllable inlet was
built in 1984 to feed brine evaporation operations. During the
present sea-level rise, the channel was restored through the spit in
1993 to relieve flooding pressure on the Caspian shores.
