The official noted that coordinated data collection among the five littoral states would help track changes in water volume and salinity. No specific timeline or participating countries were identified in the statement.
Multiple studies have recorded declining water levels over the past two decades. Lower water levels have affected port operations, fishing yields and coastal infrastructure in several bordering nations. The proposed monitoring system would aim to standardize measurement methods across national boundaries.
The official did not provide details on funding, technical requirements or enforcement mechanisms for the framework.
