The Turkey is in a good position which has covered by water and also has the
gate that connected the Asian and Europe continents. The Turkish Straits sea
area is consist of Strait of the Istanbul (Bosphorus), Strait of the Canakkale
(Dardanelle) and also Sea of Marmara. The Straits of Istanbul and Strait of
Canakkale are connecting the Black Sea with the Aegean Sea through by Sea of
Marmara. The Turkish Straits have a really importance from the history because
of the geopolitics, strategic and geographic situations. These importances,
especially strategic one is that the only water route between the Mediterranean
Sea and the Black Sea, so the Turkish Straits sea area has been the site of
significant settlement area and also city of Istanbul for a long time in the past.
The Turkish Straits have been governed by the Montreux Convention, since the
1936. From past to recent years this gate is the most important trade way of the
world cause of the oil and oil products. These economic, strategic and also trade
considerations have high level risk management about maritime transportation
at the Turkish Straits. For these circumstances, need to deeply survey at the
Turkish Straits about marine science, find all the risk factors at the end need to
shown by the charts on the bridge of the ships and coastal facility for use all the
mariners. These results could have chance to make environmental planning,
management and their policies for maritime transportation, decrease marine
pollution and protect all the straits shoreline by the regulations which aimed at
the minimising shipping accident, avoiding collisions and protecting marine
environment. With this working, try to explain the marine science and their
surveys importance for environmental management, planning at the Turkish
Straits.
