As stated in the Black Sea Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis 2007 (BSC, 2007) and confirmed in the Black Sea Strategic Action Plan 2008, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) form a key element of the ecosystem‐based approach to managing and safeguarding the Black Sea marine environment, including improving the sustainability of fisheries. This approach contains precautionary safeguards to account for common problems such as lack of scientific data, the uncertainty of natural processes and lack of fisheries management. In the case of the Black Sea, establishing MPAs is an important way to exercise these precautionary principles, as well as protecting ecosystems where the single‐species management for threatened species such as A. sturio, Scophthalmus maximus, monk seal Monachus monachus and cetaceans has failed. Among the proposed MPAs, Sile is of special interest due to its closeness to the Istanbul Strait which has crucial importance for migration of marine species between the Black and Mediterranean Seas.

Current state of overfishing and its regional differences in the Black Sea OGUZ, Temel; Akoğlu, Ekin; Salihoğlu, Barış (2012-03-01) Long-term (1950-2006) changes of fish landings in combination with some ecosystem indicators are used to evaluate the status and sustainability of the Black Sea fishery. Following the depletion of large pelagic predator and demersal fish stocks during the 1950-1960s, the main fishery was targetted on small and medium pelagics that declined abruptly to similar to 200 kton (kton 10(3) t) at 1989-1991 after a highly productive (similar to 750 kton) but overfished state in the 1980s. Thereafter, total landings ...
Options for Delivering Ecosystem-Based Marine Management (ODEMM) Salihoğlu, Barış(2013-11-30) The overall aim of the ODEMM project is to develop a set of fully-costed ecosystem management options that would deliver the objectives of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the Habitats Directive, the European Commission Blue Book and the Guidelines for the Integrated Approach to Maritime Policy. This will be achieved by: (i) providing a comprehensive knowledge base to support policy for the development of sustainable and integrated management of European marine ecosystems; (ii) developing Operationa...
Assessment of Model Uncertainty in the Prediction of Seasonal and Annual Variability in the Black Sea Salihoğlu, Barış; Fach, Bettina Andrea; Akoğlu, Ekin (2016-02-15) A new generation (circulation, biogeochemical and a higher trophic level) model for the Black Sea was developed to provide an integrated analysis of ecosystem attributes that contributes to policy oriented criteria's of the European Union's ambitious Marine Strategy Framework Directive towards achieving Good Environmental Status by 2020. The biogeochemical model, including the carbonate module, comprises thirty state variables. The higher trophic level model includes thirteen fish species. The model system ...
Prototype Operational Continuity for the GMES Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting Service (MYOCEAN2) Özsoy, Emin(2014-9-30) The main objective of the MyOcean2 project will be to operate a rigorous, robust and sustainable Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting component of the GMES Marine Service (OMF/GMS) delivering ocean physical state and ecosystem information to intermediate and downstream users in the areas of marine safety, marine resources, marine and coastal environment and climate, seasonal and weather forecasting. This is highly consistent with the objective of the FP7 Space Work Programme to support a European Space Polic...
Policy-oriented marine Environmental Research in the Southern EUropean Seas (PERSEUS) Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan(2015-12-31) The overall scientific objectives of PERSEUS are to identify the interacting patterns of natural and human-derived pressures on the Mediterranean and Black Seas, assess their impact on marine ecosystems and, using the objectives and principles of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive as a vehicle, to design an effective and innovative research governance framework based on sound scientific knowledge. Well-coordinated scientific research and socio-economic analysis will be applied at a wide-ranging scale, ...
