Abstract

The situation of chemical contamination, current environmental conditions of Izmir Bay, effects of industrial threats on the surrounding landscapes caused by chemical and organic pollutants as well as water pollution were reviewed and analyzed in the current work. Undoubtedly, water pollution and its ecological impact causes worries and challenges in western Turkey. The waters of Izmir Bay are polluted critically in the inner part, significantly in its central part, and more or less satisfactorily in the outer part of the bay. This confirms that Izmir Bay is claimed to be one of the most polluted estuaries in the Mediterranean Sea. Since hydro- and oceanological settings play vital role within the ecosystem structure, the polluted coastal and shelf waters cause serious environmental consequences in the region. Current paper reported environmental threats in the ecosystems based on studies of numerous related documents and GIS analysis and reviewed ecological threats in the ecosystem of Izmir area using related reports and GIS.
