PREFACE February 2014 REF. : Circular Letter of Prime Ministry General Directorate of Plans and Policies dated 1.5.1995 and numbered B.02.0.BPG.0.12-383-5774. Annual Marine Research Cruise Plan related to all kinds of hydrographic, oceanographic and geophysical marine researches planned to be conducted by Scientific Marine Research Institutions during the year is prepared in coordination with the Turkish Navy Office of Navigation, Hydrography and Oceanography (TU-ONHO) and Ministry of Transportation, Maritime and Communication General Directorate of Maritime Affairs and Inland Waters Regulation in accordance with the reference Circular Letter of Prime Ministry. 2014 Turkish Marine Research Cruise Plan has been prepared following the meeting participated by Marine Research Institutions, Universities, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Maritime, Transportation and Communication General Directorate of Maritime Affairs and Inland Waters Regulation and TU-ONHO. The aim of the Research Cruise Plan is to inform the universities and Marine Research Institutions who will make researches at sea about the similar researches /surveys, to provide cooperation and coordination for the surveys projected to be made in the same areas and to encourage interoperability. Research activities in Turkish Jurisdictional Areas and International waters by Marine Research Vessels shall be performed according to the principles of the plan determined. For the research cruises to be conducted in international waters, permission has to be requested via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Marine Department. For the purposes of monitoring the marine research activities, preventing duplications and promulgating navigational warnings in time, beginning and end dates of the planned marine research activities and the changes in these activities shall be notified to Turkish Navy Office of Navigation, Hydrography and Oceanography (Phone.: 0216 322 25 80 pbx extension 3102 / 3103, Fax.:02163310525, e-mail: teletext@shodb.gov.tr / info@shodb.gov.tr) via Research Vessels Cruise Report Form in Appendix A in advance (at least one week before) by the institutions operating those vessels.

PİRİ REİS Cruise No : 2014/ PİRİ -15 Dates : 25 August - 10 September 2014 Number of Researchers : 12 : Nihayet BİZSEL / The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey Objective : The goal is to investigate and understand the contributions of subtrophic components of Aegean Sea s ecosystem to their biodiversity by considering their interactions among each other, along the paths of Black sea originated waters during its high and low run off periods. Acquiring qualitative and quantitative data and information on the impact of these waters on the ecosystem dynamics of Aegean Sea has been targeted. Area : Although Aegean Sea is considered within oligotrophic ranges regarding its productivity, it might actually have reached eutrophic level due to the impact of Black sea originated waters. Under such conditions, Aegean Sea, has been preferred to investigate how the biodiversity pattern is affected by the organisms of three distinct groups as an ideal environment. The survey has been based on comparisons of the samples to be collected on the stations, which are identical regarding the depth, profile of water column and sea bottom structure, are located impacted and and un-impacted zones along the path described above Measurement Positions/Sketch Chart : Picture-6. Survey Area inc. Aegean Sea international waters. Samples will be collected in the stations selected in Gökçeada in the North, Gökova line in the South. Research Methods : In this research together with the standart environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity, density, ph, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, PAR, light transmission etc., data for plankton, benthos and bacteria analysis as well as different forms of organic matters in water column and sediment will be collected. For evaluation, the data collected will be used in several statistical and ecological community analyses, such as multi dimensional scaling, principal component analysis, similarity indices, diversity indices. 9
