This volume is the sixty fifth issue of the Mediterranean Action Plan Technical Reports Series. This series contains selected reports resulting from the various activities performed within the framework of the components of the Mediterranean Action Plan: Pollution Monitoring and Research Programme (MED POL), Blue Plan (BP), Priority Actions Programme (PAP), Specially Protected Areas (SPA) and Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean Sea (REMPEC). Ce volume constitue le soixante cinquième numéro de la série des rapports techniques du Plan d'action pour la Méditerranée. Cette série comprend certains rapports élaborés au cours des diverses activités menées dans le cadre des composantes du Plan d'action pour la Méditerranée: Programme de surveillance continue et de recherche en matière de pollution (MED POL), Plan Bleu (PB), Programme d'actions prioritaires (PAP), Aires spécialement protégées (ASP) et Centre régional méditerranéen pour l'intervention d'urgence contre la pollution marine accidentelle (REMPEC). INTRODUCTION The third edition of the Directory of Mediterranean Marine Environmental Centres prepared by UNEP/FAO in 1985 proved to be, as had the earlier editions of 1976 and 1977, a useful source of reference and a successful tool for continued regional co-operation. In view of this, the UNEP/Co- ordinating Unit for the Mediterranean Action Plan (MEDU), with the support of the Oceans and Coastal Areas Programme (OCA/PAC) of UNEP, has prepared a new, updated edition of this Directory. The new Directory contains up-to-date information on one hundred and forty two governmental, international, UN, private and other institutions, including their scientists and administrators, engaged in the research, monitoring, education, training and management of the Mediterranean marine environment. The listings and information collected went into compiling the MARIN and MARPER computerized databases, managed and maintained at MEDU in Athens, which will continue to be updated as new information is contributed. All marine environmental centres included in previous editions of the Directory, as well as others listed in the UNEP/Regional Seas Directory of Marine Scientists and Marine Environmental Centres in the Arab States, the UNEP/Regional Seas Directory of Organizations Co-operating with or Contributing to Action Plans and Global Activities of the UNEP Oceans Programme, the Fondation René Seydoux "Répertoire Méditerranéen", 1991, and those on the MEDU mailing list, were contacted. Questionnaires in English and French, along with comprehensive guidelines, were distributed, and those institutions which completed the questionnaire were invited to comment and verify the information prior to printing. In this Directory, institutions are listed in alphabetical order within country. The name of the institution is cited in English and its original language or the transliterated form of that language, wherever provided. Francophone institutions appear in French. An index of professional/scientific staff citing the last name, first name and speciality, arranged alphabetically within country, follows the main body of information. Only institutions whose activities and specialities directly relate to the marine environment have been included. Every effort was made to prepare a complete, accurate and useful source of reference on Mediterranean marine environmental institutions, their objective, specialities, activities, programmes, equipment and staff. We invite institutions to communicate errors or omissions, together with their comments to: Library Co-ordinating Unit for the Mediterranean Action Plan Leoforos Vassileos Konstantinou 48 GR 116 35 Athens Greece i INTRODUCTION La troisième édition du Répertoire des centres méditerranéens de recherche marine établie par le PNUE et la FAO en 1985 s'est révélée, comme les éditions précédentes de 1976 et 1977, une source utile de référence et un outil précieux pour la coopération régionale. C'est pourquoi, l'Unité de coordination du Plan d'action pour la Méditerranée, avec l'aide du Programme pour les océans et les zones côtières du PNUE, a préparé une nouvelle édition à jour de ce Répertoire. Le nouveau Répertoire contient des informations actualisées sur cent quarante deux organisations gouvernementales et internationales, les organisations des Nations Unies, les institutions privées et autres - y compris le personnel scientifique et administratif - qui s'occupent de recherche, de surveillance, d'éducation, de formation et de gestion dans le domaine de l'environnement marin méditerranéen. Les listes et renseignements y figurant, proviennent de la compilation des bases de données MARIN et MARPER, gérées et entretenues par l'Unité de coordination d'Athènes, qui continuent à être mises à jour en fonction des nouveaux renseignements reçus. Tous les centres de recherche marine figurant dans les éditions précédentes du Répertoire, ainsi que d'autres figurant dans le Répertoire des océanographes et des centres d'étude du milieu marin dans les Etats arabes du Programme pour les mers régionales du PNUE, dans le Répertoire des organismes coopérant et contribuant aux plans d'action et activités mondiales du Programme pour les océans du PNUE, dans le "Répertoire méditerranéen" de la Fondation René Seydoux de 1991 et sur la liste de diffusion de l'Unité de coordination, ont été contactés. Des questionnaires en anglais et français, accompagnés de directives détaillées, ont été distribués et les institutions qui les ont remplis ont été invitées à communiquer leurs observations et à vérifier les informations avant impression. Dans le présent Répertoire, les institutions sont classées par ordre alphabétique à l'intérieur de chaque pays. Le nom de l'institution est donné en anglais, puis dans sa langue d'origine ou sous une forme translittérée dans cette langue, selon le cas. Le nom des institutions francophones est en français. Le corps du texte est suivi d'un index alphabétique par pays du personnel scientifique et administratif, avec leurs noms, prénoms et spécialités. Seules les institutions dont les activités et spécialités se rapportent directement à l'environnement marin figurent dans le Répertoire. On s'est efforcé d'établir une source de référence complète, exacte et utile des institutions travaillant dans le domaine de l'environnement marin méditerranéen, avec leurs objectifs, spécialités, activités, programmes, matériel et personnel. Nous invitons les institutions à signaler toute erreur ou omission et à communiquer leurs observations à l'adresse suivante: Library Co-ordinating Unit for the Mediterranean Action Plan Leoforos Vassileos Konstantinou 48 GR 116 35 Athens Greece ii Acknowledgements Credit is due to Mr. Adnan Aksel, Computer Operations Officer, MEDU, Athens, for his assistance and technical expertise without which this Directory would not have been possible; and to Mr. Kevin Grose, Head Librarian, UNEP, Nairobi, for the compilation of the questionnaire and his assistance and support in this project.

A Christian is a free lord of all and subject to no one. A Christian is a ministering servant of all and subject to everyone. (SL 19, 988) A Liberty of the Soul of Man. We are not dealing with political liberty but with a different one— one which the devil intensely hates and opposes. It is “the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,” not from some human servitude of Babylonian or Turkish captivity but from eternal wrath. Where? In the conscience. There our liberty stays. It does not go any further; for Christ did not free us in the political and in the carnal sense but in the theological or spiritual sense, that is, He has so freed us that our conscience is free and glad because it does not fear the wrath that is to come. This is real and inestimable liberty, in comparison with the greatness and majesty of which the others (political and carnal) scarcely are one drop or speck.

  • An Ottoman Global Moment
    AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History By Kahraman Sakul, M.A Washington, DC November, 18, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Kahraman Sakul All Rights Reserved ii AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT Kahraman Sakul, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Gabor Agoston, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to place the Ottoman Empire within its proper context in the Napoleonic Age and calls for a recognition of the crucial role of the Sublime Porte in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). The Ottoman-Russian joint naval expedition (1798-1800) to the Ionian Islands under the French occupation provides the framework for an examination of the Ottoman willingness to join the European system of alliance in the Napoleonic age which brought the victory against France in the Levant in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). Collections of the Ottoman Archives and Topkapı Palace Archives in Istanbul as well as various chronicles and treatises in Turkish supply most of the primary sources for this dissertation. Appendices, charts and maps are provided to make the findings on the expedition, finance and logistics more readable. The body of the dissertation is divided into nine chapters discussing in order the global setting and domestic situation prior to the forming of the second coalition, the Adriatic expedition, its financial and logistical aspects with the ensuing socio-economic problems in the Morea, the Sublime Porte’s relations with its protectorate – The Republic of Seven United Islands, and finally the post-war diplomacy.

New development activities are underway or planned for implementation in the near future. The forecasted future sea-level rise (already apparently detected in the last decade in the Eastern Mediterranean) and storm statistics change due to global warming, as well as future diminishing of longshore sand transport in the Nile cell, add to the increased sensitivity of coastal development in this region. This paper presents a review of the various projects underway or due to be implemented in the next few years, discusses in an integrated manner the outcome of various field and model studies on the sedimentological impacts of these developments, and presents a series of re- medial

  • A Review of Sea Level Monitoring Status in Israel
    Page 1 A REVIEW OF SEA LEVEL MONITORING STATUS IN ISRAEL Dov S. Rosen Israel Oceanographic & Limnological Research, Tel Shikmona, Haifa 31080, Israel Introduction Sea-levels have been measured since the early 1920’s at Jaffa fishing port, but these data are not available, except for some data found at the PSMSL in UK during the 1950’s. New sea-levels were gathered at Ashdod and Haifa ports, and since 1992 at Hadera. Recently sea-level is being recorded also in Tel-Aviv, inside the Gordon marina, and at Ashkelon marina. The information presented in this report was derived using historic sea-level data gathered originally by PRA and archived at the Permanent Service for Mean Sea-Level (PSMSL) in UK. Additional sea-level data were gathered in the recent years by IOLR for PRA in Haifa. Correlation between simultaneous data gathered at Haifa and Ashdod in the past, and between Haifa and Hadera in the recent years allowed determining the relationship between long-term elevations at Haifa, Hadera and Ashdod. Recent History of Sea-Level Monitoring on the Mediterranean Coast of Israel Sea-level has been monitored in Israel during the British mandate in Jaffa harbour, in Haifa port and in Eilat. The measurements were performed using a float-type mechanical mareograph (sea-level recorder as in fact it measures the total sea-level due to astronomic tide as well as other parameters (temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind surge, wave induced set-up, etc.). However, the records of sea-level data gathered during the period prior to the establishment of the State of Israel are not available and have probably been lost forever.

Afterwards, from 1896 to 1897, the sea level stations of Imperia, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Napoli (Arsenale e Mandracchio), Messina, Palermo, Catania, Ancona, Ravenna Porto Corsini, Cagliari, and La Maddalena started working. Than, in 1920 the stations of Reggio Calabria and Vieste started and, under the management of the National Marine Service, the Italian sea level stations begun to have the characteristics of a real network distributed on the territory. The regular tidal observations made in Venice are among the oldest and most reliable in Italy and in the Mediterranean in general. Systematic observations of sea level in Venice started in 1872 with the installation of the first tide gauge by the Military Geographic Institute and afterwards run by the Hydrographic Office of Venice.

Research Article Observations on the floristic list of the Mersin collected from the highplateaus of Mersin Ay şe Everest Mersin University, Science&Art Faculty, Biology Department, Çiftlikköy-Mersin/TURKEY Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Mersin University Research Herbarium (MERA) plants which are collected from Middle Taurus mountains are part of the Alpin-Himalayan system. In this research, the importance of these plants in terms of endemism and rare specimens is emphasized and they are compared with some of the Alpin and Himalayan plants. MERA is presented for the first time. The 5000 sheets of specimens were collected between 1996-2009. Our results indicate that Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, Poaceae are common families collected from the highplateaus in Gülnar, Bozyazı, Mut, Erdemli, Çamlıyayla and Tarsus province of Mersin. Key words: Mersin plants; Taurus mountains, Meditteranean area (TURKEY). INTRODUCTION Mersin is a city in the south of Turkey (Figure 1). Turkiye, as a whole, houses more than 10 000 species of Spermatophyta, whose 33.3 (%) is endemics and which has many different types of vegetation. In Meditterenean Region, the Taurus Mountains support a high level of biodiversity, including a large number of endemic plants. Some 1710 of these endemics occur in the Bolkar Mountains in the middle of the Taurus range (Gemici 1994).
