Abstract: | The objective of this article is to propose a program for the integrated coastal zone management that is required to stimulate
and guide sustainable development of the Mediterranean coastal zone of Turkey.
Improved data collection, quality control, analysis, and data management will provide a firm basis for future scientific understanding
of the East Mediterranean coast of Turkey and will support long-term management. Various innovative procedures were proposed
for a promising ecosystem-based approach to manage coastal wetlands in the Mediterranean: remote data acquisition with new
technologies; environmental quality monitoring program that will provide a baseline for monitoring; linking a Geographic Information
System (GIS) with natural resource management decision routines in the context of operational wetlands, fisheries, tourism
management system; environmental sensitivity analysis to ensure that permitted developments are environmentally sustainable;
and use of natural species to restore the wetlands and coastal dunes and sustain the system processes. The proposed management
scheme will benefit the scientific community in the Mediterranean and the management/planning community in Eastern Turkey. |
