| Abstract: | The Black Sea Environmental Series consists of thematic regional studies undertaken as part of a programme for improved management of the Black Sea environment. The Black Sea Environmental Programme (BSEP) was initiated in June 1993 at the urgent request of the governments of Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia, Turkey and Ukraine. The BSEP, funded by the Global Environment Facility and a number of collateral donors, is managed by the United Nations Development Programme (through UNOPS) in close cooperation with the World Bank and the United Nations Environment Programme, and donors. It closely coordinates the work of governmental and international experts, specialist UN Agencies, and national and international NGOs. The BSEP sets out to provide a sustainable basis for managing the Black Sea through capacity building, environmental assessment, the development and harmonization of policy and legislation, and by facilitating appropriate environmental investments. It was instrumental in assisting the Black Sea governments to develop the Black Sea Strategic Action Plan, signed by the six Ministers of the Environment on 31 October, 1996. The Action Plan sets out a pragmatic strategy for rehabilitating and protecting the Black Sea in the coming to decades. The Black Sea Environmental Series is brought to a wider audience in order to provide a baseline of peer-reviewed quantitative information on the Black Sea which can be employed by managers, researchers and teachers. The studies also serve as case histories for the eventual application of concepts agreed at the 1992 Rio de Janerio "Earth Summit" and which are embodied in "Agenda 21". Widely considered as the most damaged sea on our planet, the Black Sea should serve as an example to future generations of mankind's ability to understand, save and protect an internationally shared resource.
This book has been made possible by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) Black Sea Environmental Programme (BSEP) and the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Nuclear Safety of Ukraine which chose the Odessa Branch of the Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, as a National Focal Point for Biodiversity and has allowed it to summarise a large amount of long term data from other institutions as well.
The compilers would like to thank Dr. Laurence D. Mee and Dr. Vladimir O. Mamaev from the BSEP Programme Coordination Unit and A. Meriwether Wilson, World Bank Biodiversity Advisor for valuable suggestions, ideas and the organisation of helpful workshop meetings.
We are also very grateful to all the specialists from the contributing institutions whose material were used for this National Report.
We thank A. Zaginailo, N. Chilikina, N. Kopitina, I. Kulakova, L. Garlitskaya for their technical help in preparing the manuscript.
Special thanks to Dr. V. Lisovskaya for most of the translation and to Mr. Gareth Jenkins for editing and Ms. Figen Canakci for formatting and page layout. |
