As part of the ongoing BIOBLACK project initiatives, project researchers and academicians held a specialized training session titled "Raising Awareness for the People of the Black Sea to Recognize and Protect Black Sea Biodiversity" in Sürmene Balıklı.
Recognizing local fishermen as crucial partners and primary stakeholders in marine conservation, the workshop aimed to foster dialogue and share essential ecological insights. The session featured key presentations and discussions led by distinguished BIOBLACK researchers: Prof. Dr. Fatma Telli Karakoç, Prof. Dr. Hacer Sağlam and Assist. Prof. Dr. İlknur Yıldız
During the meeting, the academic team shared valuable strategies and expert perspectives on preserving the rich biodiversity of the Black Sea and promoting sustainable management of its marine resources. By engaging directly with those who interact with the sea daily, the BIOBLACK project continues to bridge scientific research with community-driven environmental stewardship.
