Plan Bleu has decided to address the issue of environmental economics in the marine environment based on the 2008 Almeria ministerial declaration of the Parties to the Barcelona Convention which promotes the ecosystemic approach as a support for preserving biodiversity and the natural heritage. Accordingly, Plan Bleu’s programme of work for marine and coastal areas deals with three related issues: The economic value of benefits resulting from marine ecosystems The economic mean and sustainability of marine related activities in the Mediterranean, such as fishing, maritime transport, tourism, etc. The effects of marine and coastal ecosystem conservation on socio-economic development and the economic assessment of this effect. This latter question falls within the scope of the Strategic Partnership for the Mediterranean Large Marine Ecosystem, initiated by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). It is Plan Bleu’s aim to describe and quantify the effects of conservation on the local socio-economic situation by focusing on how five geographically different Marine and Coastal Protected Areas (MCPAs) in the Mediterranean are affecting sustainable development at local scale. Kaş-Kekova Special Environmental Protection Area (SEPA), located in South Western Turkey, was selected as a case study in line with Plan Bleu’s overall objectives. The study aims to highlight the links between MCPA and development by taking into account an ecosystem service approach whose focus will remain on the marine environment of Kaş-Kekova. Along with the outputs from the other case studies, the results of the present study will be used in the formulation of a synthesis report in due course. 5 Part I: Local development and Kaş-Kekova Special Environmental Protected Area: Current situation and retrospective analysis of key interactions The first part of the report introduces the socio-economic and environmental context of the Kaş- Kekova Special Environmental Protected Area (SEPA) and provides the basis for understanding the local development dynamics in the region and in the SEPA. Chapter 1: Local development in the area of Kaş-Kekova: driving forces and socio- economic and ecological trends In order to comprehend the effect of the Kaş-Kekova SEPA on the local economy and development situation, Chapter 1 focuses on both current and past regional and national socio- economic trends. 1.1 Features of local development in Kaş-Kekova area: current situation and retrospective trends Situated in the province of Antalya, in the Western Turkish Mediterranean, Kaş-Kekova area is rich of archeological and natural features that are found in its terrestrial as well as marine environments. Kaş-Kekova SEPA (orange on Figure 1), declared a protected area in 1990, falls within the administrative authority of two districts, Kaş and Demre (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Map showing the administrative borders in which Kaş-Kekova SEPA is located (source: Adapted from Google Maps and Turkey’s district divisions by Damien Dessane) 1.1.1. Socio-economic development According to the Turkish Development Ministry’s (the former State Planning Organization) 2003 socio-economic development ranking of the provinces, Antalya ranked as the 10th out of 81 provinces in Turkey.1 According to the same public authority’s

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE REGION……………………………………...5 III. OCEANOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THE REGION………………….6 IV. METHODS…………………………………………………………….7-9 V. FINDINGS & RESULTS………………………………………………10-17 VI. GENERAL DISCUSSION……………………………………………..19 2 OVERVIEW of the PROJECT The Kas-Kekova region, sometimes called Lycian coasts, has a unique natural heritage. Lycia is a part of the Turkish Mediterranean coast where some sections are still not destroyed by human development. This coastline includes the most variable and spectacular coastal and marine landscapes, as well as fauna and flora. Kas-Kekova region supports a wide array of habitats and species including Posidonia oceanica meadows, groupers, common dentex and many invertebrates species. The surrounding waters support marine turtles, monk seals and dolphins, and the small islets (Bes Adalar) are home to feeding and breeding colonies of these species. Marine bio-diversity assessment carried out in the framework of MedPAN South Project in 2009 to figure out complete biodiversity within the border of Kas-Kekova SPA. It was a complementary study of the work has been done in 2002 and 2006. During the previous studies only certain species were investigated that were selected based on their IUCN status (endangered, threatened) and protection status under international conventions or under the National Fisheries Manual and their presence in the survey area and in addition some flagship species were selected to highlight the habitats. In the framework of this project not only the marine species were examined, but also as much information as possible about the sediment structure, physical properties, fauna and flora of the region was gathered, due to the nature of the project as being the first and most detailed of its kind.

Kemer Kemer is a seaside resort and district of Antalya Province on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, 40 km (25 mil) west of the city of Antalya, on the Turkish Riviera. Kemer is on the Gulf of Antalya, 53 km (33 mi) of sea coast with the skirts of the western Taurus Mountains behind. The coast has the typical Mediterranean hot, dry weather and warm sea. Until the early 1980s this was a quiet rural district but today the town of Kemer and coastal villages in the district play a very important part in tourism in Turkey. Tourism in Kemer One of the major attractions of Kemer is its natural beauty; sea, mountains and pine forest combine in harmony. The shore from Beldibi to Tekirova consists of unspoilt beaches in bays of various sizes, mostly stony rather than sand. With easy transportation, good communication and other municipal services Kemer has a large proportion of the hotel bed capacity of the Antalya region, and is a comfortable and peaceful holiday coast with internationally accepted reputation, attracting large numbers of visitors from countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and in recent years predominantly families from Russia.

  • Western Lycian Way – Group Guided
    Western Lycian Way – Group Guided Summary This Small Group Guided Itinerary cherry picks the best walks of the Western End of the Lycian Way and adds some stunning high mountain walks that will also give you the chance to meet and enjoy the company of the Nomadic Yörük people. We will walk on the coast, across grazing lands and through orchards and above the tree-line close to the snow- capped mountains (Ak Dağ) near Gömbe. This really is the best walking, history and culture that Western Lycia has to offer. The itinerary has a good deal of historical content and includes a boat trip over the sunken city of Kekova. We will also visit the three cities that at different times were the capital of the Lycian League. These are Xanthos the first capital, Patara the home of the Lycian Parliament building and Myra the bishopric of Saint Nicholas the source of much of the santa Claus legends. If nature is your “thing” then you will love the crystal blue waters where we can often see turtles in Kekova and Dalyan, the wetlands that are home to resident and migrating birds, the coast and coastal towns which host hundreds of storks and the rugged, mountainous terrain where eagles and buzzards soar. You will almost certainly find myriad lizards, the ubiquitous wild tortoises and occasional snakes. The wild flowers, particularly in spring are absolutely stunning. Turkey has over 9,000 species of flora of which 40% is endemic. If your idea of a great walking holiday is a good solid walking programme steeped in history, culture and nature, then you need look no further.

    Turkey Turkey is a vast and varied country boasting incredible landscapes and natural wonders bordered by four different seas. Well known as a great destination for relaxing beach holidays, it also offers many sporting activities, some of the world’s most important ancient monuments, welcoming Turkish hospitality and varied national cuisine. Istanbul is also gearing up to be European Capital of Culture 2010 .so; it has never been a better time to visit this magical city! Dakkak Holiday as a dominant out going tour operator in Jordan and a division of the tourism comprehensive destination management company Dakkak Group; witnesses a distinguished traffic of Jordanians who make tracks to this beautiful destination in summer mostly and the rest seasons of the year generally. Various suggested packages and lots of tailor made plans are designed every season to Istanbul, Bodrum, Antalya , Marmaris and else. Turkish coffee or Turk kahvesi is the perfect way to finish off a good meal. When ordering you specify whether you want it sade (plain), orta (with some sugar) or sekerli (very sweet) and it is brewed with the specified amount of sugar mixed in with the coffee granules. It is served in small cups. It is quite an art to know-when to stop drinking as one sip too many and you will end up with a mouthful of the sludgy residue which falls to the bottom of the cup. Even this has its uses, however, as you may find a local willing to tell your fortune from it - cover your cup with the saucer, wait until it becomes cold when you will be asked to turn it upside down, turn it around several times and then your destiny will be divined from the shapes which are formed.

    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol.13 241-252 (2007) Traces of Historical earthquakes in the ancient city life at the Mediterranean region Tarihsel depremlerin Akdeniz Bölgesi antik kent yaşamındaki izleri T. Levent Erel1 and Fatih Adatepe2 1 İstanbul University, Hasan Ali Yücel Faculty of Education, Müşküle Sokak No.1 Vefa 34470 Istanbul/Turkey 2 İstanbul University, Institute of Marine Sciences and Management, Müşküle Sokak No.1 Vefa 34470 Istanbul/Turkey ________________________________________________________ Abstract During the historical periods, the Mediterranean region was divided in several areas, from west to east, the Carian (Menteşe), Lycian (Teke Peninsula), Pamphylia (Antalya Plain) and Cilician areas. Cilician was divided into the Mountains (Taşeli Peninsula) and Lowland Cilicia (Çukurova) regions. Further east behind the Amonos Mountains, Antiokheia (Antakya), was a completely seperate region. All these regions were shaken by numerous earthquakes produced by main fault systems from the Aegean Sea and Mediterranean. The major geological structures are Hellenic Trench, East Anatolian Fault, Ecemiş Fault and Dead Sea Fault in the region. Along with material destruction, earthquakes also result in tectonic rising of lands. This rising fills in ports and speeds up the process of ports getting shallow. Another negative consequence of earthquakes is the drying up of the water sources or the changing of their banks. Key words: Mediterranean coast, historical earthquakes, ancient cities Corresponding author: [email protected] 241 Introduction The coastal areas of Turkey neighboring the Mediterranean Sea have been subject to numerous destructive earthquakes. These earthquakes have largely given direction to certain historical events urban architecture and the way of the life of inhabitants.

M. Kemal ATATÜRK ii ANTALYA 2017 ÇEVRE DURUM RAPORU İnsanların hayatları boyunca yaşamlarını sürdürdükleri ve uyum sağlamaya çalıştıkları fiziki, sosyal ve kültürel ortam olarak belirtilen çevre, basit anlatımıyla içinde bulunduğumuz ve bizi etkileyen dış etkenlerin tümünü kapsayan yaşadığımız ortamdır. Yaşam ve çevre birbirine bağlı ayrılmaz bir bütünün parçaları olup, aynı zamanda birbirini olumlu ve olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu olumsuz etkilerin en büyük göstergesi de insanoğlunun doğal kaynakları yanlış ve aşırı kullanması sonucu ortaya çıkan ve yine insanoğlunun düzeltmek için çaba harcadığı çevre kirliliğidir. Hızlı nüfus artışı ile birlikte endüstrinin hızla gelişmesi ve beraberinde gelen çevresel kirlilik, planlama ve uygulamalarda yaşanan bazı aksaklıklar ve çevre bilincinin yetersizliği ile birlikte doğal kaynakların yok olma tehlikesi insan ve çevre sağlığını olumsuz etkilemektedir. İlimizde; çevre sorunları ile ilgili olarak, ilgili kanun ve yönetmelikler çerçevesinde ekolojik sistemin korunması ve iyileştirilmesi, her türlü çevre kirliliğinin önlenmesi, ilimizin doğal bitki ve hayvan varlığı ile doğal zenginliklerin korunması ve kamuoyunda çevre bilincinin oluşması için birçok kurum ve kuruluş ile iş birliği içerisinde çalışmalar sürdürülmektedir.
