| 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. 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.
We are grateful to all those who have offered their support and assistance during the preparation of this book, above all, to the authors of the National Reports who have worked closely with us over the last three and a half years. They are: Asen and Tscenka Konsulov (Bulgaria), Akaki Komakhidze and Nikolai Mazmanidi (Georgia), Adriana Petranu (Romania), Stanislav Volovik (Russia), Bayram Oztiirk (Turkey), Boris Alexandrov (Ukraine), Meriwether Wilson and J.B.Collier (The World Bank), Henri Dumont (Belgium). All these people are true friends and supporters of the Black Sea. We appreciate very much the valuable contribution to some chapters of L.D. Mee (3.2, 6, 6.1); N. Panin and R. Kosyan (3.4) and D.G. Aubrey (1.2.3). Special thanks to L.N. Klissourov (Bulgaria) who provided slides of Black Sea inhabitants (in the wild) for this volume. Thanks to A.M. Karpushkin (Ukraine) for helping us with the figures. Our appreciation to Alexei Triumfov (Russia) for his efforts in translating this book, Gareth Jenkins (UK) for editing and Figen Canakci (BSEP-PCU) for formatting and page layout. |
