In recent decades,climate change and drought have caused many people to migrate from the south and east of Iran to the Caspian Sea in North of Iran.These people inevitably emigrated without any knowledge and had to leave their families in order to earn a living. Some of these migrants chose fishing as their job. In recent years, the constructing of dams along the route to the Caspian Sea (aquatics need this water in order to lay eggs) has reduced Sea catches.On the other hand, the absence of these people along with their families has emotional and psychological effects that are far more devastating than their financial needs.This project aims to illustrate the impact of this migration on these people.
