This study aims to explore how invasive alien marine species influence biodiversity and blue economy in the Mediterranean Sea. Thus, this study analyzes the impact of invasive alien marine species on seafood market and marine biodiversity by reviewing the current reports, news, and researches among the Mediterranean region. As a result, this study will determine key points for the rising population of invasive alien marine species in the Mediterranean Sea due to the risk level with alien species. The open access data obtained from Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) will be used to give main indicators for Seafood Market in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, recent news and reports will be used to determine the effects of invasive alien marine species on countries from the Mediterranean region. With this study, it is thought to give a brief profile for the link between blue economy and invasive alien marine species in the Mediterranean Sea.

The world has understood that hunger is one of the most dangerous problems for the future. Accordingly, food security and sustainability are both important issues through sustainable development. This chapter highlights the role of seafood security and sustainability for sustainable development. In this context, seafood security and sustainability for Turkish seafood market was investigated. Turkey is a coastal country, which has accepted 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, with a seafood market and a good sample to investigate seafood sustainability. This study employed secondary data from TURKSTAT and FAO websites to determine Turkish seafood market profile. The study determined seafood security and sustainability based on five dimensions as availability, economic access, physical access, utilization, and stabilization. Seafood sustainability is vital for coastal countries because seafood market brings economic, social, and environmental benefits at the same time.

This study aims to review the risk of invasive alien species in Turkish marines in the context of sustainable seafood market. Thus, this study investigates the challenges of invasive alien species on seafood market and marine biodiversity. By using classifications, tables, and figures, this study will determine the current profile of Turkish seafood market due to the risk level with alien species. The open access data obtained from Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) will be used to give main indicators for Turkish seafood market. Then, recent reports and news will be used to determine the efficiency of the implications and policies to fight against to alien species in Turkey. By reviewing recent news and reports, it is thought to give a holistic approach for the related literature.

The ocean economy is directly linked to the biodiversity of the ocean. Biodiversity is under great threat as a result of the effects of climate change and global warming. Therefore, the ocean economy and the marine economy are among the economies that will be most affected by the effects of climate change. Each change in ocean and sea levels causes changes in biodiversity. Considering its importance in terms of food health, economic and social development, the sustainability of the marine economy is an important issue. The aim of this study is to present indicators of ocean economy among OECD countries and show the importance of ocean and marine economy in the long term.
