Özet:

 


In this study,
abundance, distribution and type of seafloor litter were determined in the
Sinop Inceburun coast which is the northeast point of Turkey. Study was carried
out in October 2014 and proposed methods by Guidance on Monitoring of Marine
Litter in European Seas’ published by European Marine Strategy Framework
Directive Technical Subgroup on Marine Litter section of seafloor litter
adopted the region. Seafloor litter density was found mean 808.74±215.02 pieces
per km-2. The amount of litter was found maximum in 34 m depth. When
results were evaluated in terms of the type of material plastic was found
95.35% and encountered litter items were mainly composed of plastic bags. The
size groups were found generally small than 50 cm x 50 cm in the classification
according to the size groups. The data obtained from the study demonstrate that
the seafloor in the region have highly littered compared to the other studies
in the Black Sea. Marine litter pollution is a growing problem in the world all
of the world’s oceans and also the Black Sea. Necessary measurements must be
taken to solve this problem.
