Abstract
Abstract Igneada area, which is studied in this GEF-II Project, includes different kinds of ecosystems and a wide range of biodiversity. These characteristics make it one of the most important areas in Turkey. The forests in Igneada and the surrounding areas have unique characteristics. In other parts of Turkey and Europe, these types of forests have been damaged due to anthropogenic effects. The surface area of these forests is approximately 3000 ha. Igneada lagoons are located in the northeastern part of Trakya (Thrace) along the Black Sea littoral.
