Abstract


In this study, types and quantities of marine litter in Urla (İzmir) Kum Denizi Beach and Demircili Koyu Beach were determined seasonally between October 2017 and October 2018. At the beaches, marine litter larger than 2,5 centimetres were collected with 3 people along 2-meter lines, which are determined to be parallel to the sea. The collected litters were classified according to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP, 2009), quantities were determined and the pollution status of the beaches was evaluated according to the Clean Coast Index. A total of 1,265 litter from Kum Denizi Beach and 2,099 litter from Demircili Koyu Beach were collected. In total, 3,364 pieces of litter weighing 90.81 kg were collected from the two beaches. Among the litters collected, plastic litter was found to be dominant with 2,794 pieces. This was followed by 145 metals, 141 papers, 110 fabrics, 87 foam plastics, 42 wood, 32 glass, 8 other litters and 5 rubber. Given the seasonal averages of the clean coast index values; Kum Denizi Beach was found to be clean and Demircili Koyu Beach was found to be moderately polluted.

Abstract


Bu çalışmada, Urla (İzmir) Kum Denizi Plajı ve Demircili Koyu Plajı’ndaki deniz çöplerinin cins ve miktarları Ekim 2017- Ekim 2018 tarihleri arasında mevsimsel olarak incelenmiştir. Plajlarda, 2,5 santimetreden büyük olan deniz çöpleri denize paralel olacak şekilde belirlenen 2 metrelik hatlar boyunca 3 kişi ile toplanmıştır. Toplanan çöpler Birleşmiş Milleteler Çevre Programı (UNEP= United Nations Environment Program) (2009)’e göre sınıflandırılmış, miktarları belirlenmiş ve temiz kıyı indeksine göre plajların kirlilik durumu değerlendirilmiştir. Kum Denizi Plajı’ndan toplamda 1,265 adet çöp ve Demircili Koyu Plajı’ndan ise 2,099 adet çöp toplanmıştır. Her iki plajdan toplamda 90,81 kg ağırlığında 3,364 adet çöp toplanmıştır. Toplanan çöpler arasında 2,794 adet ile en fazla plastik çöp bulunmuştur. Bunu 145 adet metal, 141 adet kağıt, 110 adet tekstil, 87 adet köpük plastik, 42 adet ahşap, 32 adet cam, 8 adet diğer çöpler ve 5 adet kauçuk izlemiştir. Temiz kıyı indeksi hesaplarına mevsim ortalamasına göre bakıldığında; Kum Denizi Plajı temiz, Demircili Koyu Plajı ise orta kirlilikte bulunmuştur.
