Abstract

In the present study, 14 sampling stations along the Dalyan-Iztuzu beach were sampled in June and July 2019 for the examination of microplastics. Samples were taken from surface waters (0-15 cm) using a manta trawl with a towing speed of 2 knots/h and a towing duration of 20 minutes. Microplastics were separated according to their shapes, types and sizes under a binocular stereo microscope. Results indicated that, the average density of microplastics were 0.148 ±0.07 particles/m2. Microplastic densities in the present study were lower compared to those of earlier studies carried out in the other parts of Mediterranean coasts and the Sea of Marmara.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, Dalyan- İztuzu sahili boyunca 2019 yılında Haziran ve Temmuz aylarında 14 istasyonda örnekleme yapılmıştır. Örnekler, su yüzeyinden (0-15 cm) 2 deniz mili/saat hızında ve 20 dakika süre ile çekilen Manta net ile alınmıştır. Mikroplastikler binöküler stereo mikroskop altında şekillerine, ebadına ve tiplerine göre ayrılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda mikroplastik yoğunluğu ortalama 0,148 ± 0,07 partikül/m2 olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen değerlerin Marmara ve özellikle Akdeniz bölgesinde yapılan çalışmalar ile karşılaştırıldığında çok daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
