The Turkish coastal regions have the characteristics of a nonreproducible natural resource whose environmental condition is at high levels. In addition to being environmentally sensitive and highly productive, these areas are extremely attractive to people and, as a result, for economic development
The areas provide benefit to millions of people, including food, their livelihoods and space for settlement and are also used extensively for recreation.Two-thirds of the world’s largest cities are located on coasts, and the populations in coastal areas are growing faster than inland populations. The area covered by Turkey’s coastal provinces forms 30% of the country’s entire area. Also, approximately 30 million citizens, out of a total population of 75.63 million, live in areas along the coast. The tendency for ever-greater numbers of people to migrate to the world’s coasts is exerting serious pressure on these areas; this could put the value and productivity of many of them at serious risk and, in particular, threaten their special ecological or cultural attributes.
The problems that arise in the coastal areas can occur for many reasons. According to researchers, the roots of these problems are generally as follows:
