Mediterranean environmental programme

2005-01-01
Meditterranean environmental programme was launched in 1975 as the first Regional Seas Programme of UNEP and inspires now the subsequent thirteen regional seas programmes with regard to institutional and operational model it developed. The regime is now in the mid way of MAP Phase II which was started in 1996. This new phase considers the problems encountered in the region from point of socio economic parameters which require activities beyond pollution control. This development signifies a shift from sectoral approach towards integrated planning and management. The purpose of this study is to make an overall survey and analysis of these developments in the Mediterranean mainly focusing on the institutional and legal aspects.

An NGO role in enhancing integrated coastal management in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea: The MEDCOAST experience
Ozhan, E (Elsevier BV, 2000-01-01)
In the early 1990s, integrated coastal management (ICM) in the Mediterranean basin found general acceptance as an important issue both at national and international levels, and since then it has been, though slowly, steadily developed. Donor organizations such as the European Union and the World Bank, and the UNEP's Mediterranean Action Plan played catalyst roles in this development by initiating and supporting pilot projects. In 1992, the European Union launched the Mediterranean programs in which the envi...

The MedPosidonia programme, an initiative of the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (UNEP/MAP) supported by the Total corporate Foundation, aims at collecting information on the geographic distribution and evolution of Posidonia meadows (Posidonia oceanica) in four Mediterranean countries with a view to using these information to elaborate and/or adjust their conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity programmes. Within the framework of this programme, activities were performed at...
KAVAKLIDERE-ANKARA: THE FORMATION OF A RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT DURING THE 1950S
Resuloglu, Cilga; Altan, Tomris Elvan (2015-03-01)
This paper aims to examine the formation of Kayak Were as a 'modern' residential district during the 1950s. Contemporary urbanization brought about changes in various regions of Ankara, among which Kavaklidere emerged as an important location with features that defined a new stage in the development of the identity of the capital city. The construction of houses in this district from the early 1950s onwards was in accordance with new functional requirements resulting from the needs of the contemporary socio...
Assessment of temporal variation and sources of PCBs in the sediments of Mediterranean Sea, Mersin Bay, Turkey
Gedik, Kadir; İmamoğlu, İpek (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01)
Information on temporal distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the coastal sediments of Mediterranean Sea, Mersin was compiled using data published between 1980 and 2009, and the present study. The first congener specific PCB results from the region yield concentration levels of Sigma(41) PCBs in sediments ranging from 0.61 to 1.04 ng g(-1). Sediment profiles show penta-, hexa- and hepta-chlorobiphenyls, specifically, #149 and 153 as the most abundant congeners in all samples. Comparison of tot...
Chemical composition of rainwater at EMEP station in Ankara, Turkey
Topcu, S; Incecik, S; Atımtay, Aysel (2002-11-01)
The chemical characteristics of rainfall and its seasonal variation at the EMEP (The Cooperative Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-Range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe) station located in Cubuk, Ankara were studied for the period between September 1994 and December 1996. The station is located in a rural area about 50 km north of Ankara and is considered as a background station for air pollution. The rainwater samples collected were analyzed for pH, major ions concentrations and ...
