Özet
Lagoons have perfect hydrodynamic perspective and very sensitive structures. First of all, the human activities on lagoons have become a major environmental concern. Any artificial influence to these sensitive areas may cause the destruction of the natural balance of them.Turkish coasts have more than 70 lagoon lakes which are formed on about 60 000 ha. area. European part of Turkey which is also named as "Turkish Thrace" is surrounded by three different seas: The Marmara Sea, The Black Sea, and The Aegean Sea. The region has a lot of lagoon lakes (such as Lakes Mert and Erikli are located on the coasts of The Black Sea in Kirklareli province; Lakes Terkos, KüÇükÇekmece, and BüyükÇekmece are located on the coasts of The Marmara Sea in Istanbul province; and Lakes Gala, Dalyan, Tasalti, Isik, Vakif, and Tuzla are located on the coasts of The Aegean Sea in Edirne province) which are formed at different types. Therefore, Turkish Thrace may be considered as a rich area in terms of lagoon lakes. Furthermore, some lakes are important parts of some National Parks in Turkey.In this chapter, some limnological features of some lagoon lakes located in European part of Turkey were evaluated. With this aim, both the results of the previous limnological studies performed by different researchers (by the authors and/or the others) since 1987 in some lagoons in the region and the results of the present data on the lakes which were visited on different dates by the authors at the years 2008 and 2009 for sampling were evaluated. According to the all data (both from the previous studies and from the present study) some physicochemical features, salinity levels, some biological data of the lagoons were gathered in this chapter. Furthermore, rather roughly trophy levels of the lagoons were determined by the available features which are used to determine the trophy level of the lakes. In conclusion, this study aimed to gather all data on the lagoons in European part of Turkey by making a comparison of their former and present status.Consequently, the results from the previous limnological studies performed in some lagoons in the region (a review); the results from the present data on some features of some lagoons (a research); limnological evaluation on all of the lagoons in the region (an evaluation) were provided in the present chapter. Thus, it was provided the whole limnological documents which have been gathered from the lakes at separate times since 1987. © 2011 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
