چکیده
The present study includes the results of second benthic macrophytes? monitoring period a survey ecological status from Turkish coasts. biotic index Ecological Evaluation Index (EEI-c) was used to assess classes (ESC) and MA-LUSI anthropogenic pressures. Sampling made by quadrat (20 × 20 cm) method, samples were collected 93 sites in coastal waters between 2017 2019. In total, 240 taxa found marine waters. Forty classified into High ESC, 24 Good, 12 Moderate, 13 Poor, 4 Bad ESC. relationship pressure EEIeqr values also tested, negative correlation (R²= 0.62) found.

Marine benthic macrophytes (seaweed and seagrasses) are key structural and functional components of some of the most productive ecosystems of the world. They absorb nutrients through their surface directly from the marine environment and thus they are very important biological elements for the estimation of ecological status, representing reliable indicators of coastal waters. The aim of this s...

Abstract: Marine macro-algae are very important biological indicators of the ecological status of the marine environment because they are first to react to the pollution entering the sea including nutrients which determine the trophy of the ambient of the environment. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the present trophic level and the health status of the sampling stations according to the E...

Biotic indices have become key assessment tools in most recent national and trans-national policies aimed at improving the quality of coastal waters and the integrity of their associated ecosystems. In this study we analyzed 90 published biotic indices, classified them into four types, and analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of each type in relation to the requirements of these policies. We i...

One of the most important issues in environmental management of coastal waters is the evaluation of Eutrophication. In this study, the trophic status of coastal waters of Hormozgan province was evaluated using Scale (TRIXCS) and Unscale (UNTRIXCS) trophic indices in 2012. The results showed that TRIXCS values were in the range of 3.6 to 5.9 (in the area 1 Mezo-Eutroph, areas 2 and 3 Mezotroph, ...
