Summary:

"This book aims to be a good compilation bringing together articles focusing on the Black Sea looking at its ecosystem from different aspects. It goes without saying that the Black Sea is like a special kind of living organism which should be known in detail to be protected and saved. And, we deeply recognize that, during the last 50 years, its ecosystem changed extensively making it more vulnerable to anthropogenic effects. Marine resources have declined as a consequence of over-fishing, unplanned development of coastal zones and intense maritime traffic. Therefore, we believe that such kind of a compilation effort with an output can draw a general outline of the picture and help in concentrating attentions on such a special area. "Black Sea Marine Environment: The Turkish Shelf" is the latest of the series of Turkish Marine Research Foundation (TÜDAV), which covers 29 articles under 4 main chapters (oceanography, biodiversity, pollution and conservation and science and policy) written by 61 authors from various universities and institutions working under different disciplines and who have studies in the Black Sea"--Preface.
