The pressures and the ecological quality status of the Marmara Sea (Turkey) by using marine macroalgae and angiosperms

Abstract: In the present study, the Marine Floristic Ecological Index (MARFEI) was tested to assess the impacts by using marine benthic macrophytes and pressures by using the Macroalgae-Land Uses Simplified Index (MA-LUSI) in the Marmara Sea (Turkey). Sampling of benthic macrophytes was made from 0-5 m depth at 29 different sites during the summer periods of 2017, 2018 and 2019. The study revealed good ecological status class (ESC) for 6 sites, moderate for 11 sites, poor for 8 sites and bad for 4 sites. MARFEIeqr showe… Show more

“…Until the thesis study on which this article data is based, no record of P. morrowii was found for the Sea of Marmara (Çetin 2014). P. morrowii was also detected in different studies in Marmara waters in the following years (Taşkın 2016, Taşkın et al 2018, Taşkın et al 2019, Taşkın 2022. It is stated that it was transported to this region by ship and ballast waters, and it is also an invasive/alien red algae species (Taşkın 2022).…”

“…The island's coastline presents a diverse range of habitats and ecosystems, including rocky shores, sandy beaches, and seagrass beds. The waters are relatively shallow, with an average depth of 5 m. The water quality is generally good, but there are some concerns about pollution from nearby sources [26]. The island's coastline presents a diverse range of habitats and ecosystems, includin rocky shores, sandy beaches, and seagrass beds.…”
