14.5.4 Collaboration for shared aquatic ecosystems

Cooperation for Shared Water Ecosystems

Boğaziçi University collaborates with local communities to ensure the protection and sustainability of local water ecosystems. The projects carried out and partnerships formed in this context aim to raise social awareness on the protection of shared water resources and ensure the continuity of water ecosystems.

One of the prominent projects, ‘Tomorrow's Water’, is an important initiative that aims to raise awareness on water consumption and protection of water resources. Within the scope of this project, the society is informed about water saving and sustainable use of water through videos and documentaries, and it is aimed to raise social awareness on water consumption. Our university contributes to the protection of aquatic ecosystems by collaborating with local communities through such projects.

Boğaziçi University also conducts scientific research and projects on aquatic ecosystems through the Coastal Sciences Research Centre. These studies provide scientific support to collaborative efforts with local communities for the conservation of water resources and produce solutions for the sustainable management of aquatic ecosystems.
