Abstract

The Anzali wetland on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea was once 60k long along the east-west axis and covered a nearly 250km2 of the area. This water basin was once one of the biggest sources of fresh water and was surrounded by many flourishing rural habitations. Until 70 year ago, Anzali wetland served as a waterway for the travellers to the Caspian Sea ports and beyond to the European cities. In the first half of the last century, this wetland was the main provider of nutrients (protein and rice) and other daily necessities of the people living near by. The natives acquired habits and life styles derived from living for centuries in a dependency relationship to the wetland and the Caspian ecosystem and became dependent on it. In fact, Anzali wetland served as a sort of identity for the people living in the area. They recount stories heared about the wetland or recite their own ecounters with it. This reflect an unblemished culture and a healthy outlook which reflected close proximity to nature.During the last three decades, the impact of the human activities and manipulations on the wetlands ecosystem have been, so severe that caused it to be in the process of dying prematurely and thus depriving future generations from reaping any benefit from the wetland. Measures now being taken, knowingly, or unknowingly, to revitalize the wetland as a naturel habitat and a source of nourishment; seem doomed in the light of the enormous and uncontrollable damages being inflicted on the wetland. Road construction, pollution and siltation, caused by the polluted rivers pouring to it, have ruined this once vital water basin, (and one of the worlds recognized natural habitats), thus losing its global importance.The first part of this article is a chronology of the wetland, which is based on research and frequent visits to the area from 1960to 2001. The next part will deal with the distribution of the AQUATIC PLANTS in the wetland and the diversity of its plant life.
