Being one of the specially protected areas declared by Environmental Protection Agency for Special Areas in Turkey (EPASA), Göcek Bay is threatened by increasing boat tourism. Because of the insufficient legal practices and regulations, boats continue to discharge their domestic waste and bilge wastewaters to the bay. Large scale measures are being planned for decreasing the pollution and protecting the region. For a sustainable coastal management, technical, social, political and economic tools are needed to be used. For environmental investments, it is necessary that they should be identified in monetary terms to aid decision makers. In this study, data from a Choice Experiment survey done in the region is used to present the basic perception of users of Göcek towards the environmental problems and future investments and a binary logit analysis is done to show the motivations behind peoples' willingness to pay for the planned improvements. © 2012 ASCE.

MICROPLASTIC POLLUTION IN SEAWATER, SEDIMENT AND GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT OF FISHES OF THE NORTH-EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN SEA
Gökdağ, Kerem; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Department of Marine Biology and Fisheries (2017-12-28)
Marine litter and microplastic pollution is a growing problem for the world and Turkish seas. In this study, the levels of microplastics in surface water, water column, sediment as well as in fish digestive system from the northeastern Mediterranean Sea were studied in 2015 and 2016. The impact of virgin microplastics on seabream juveniles was also investigated at the laboratory. Number of microplastics in surface water were between 16339 and 520213 particles km-2 in 2015, and, between 39559 and 1043675 pa...
