1 ´´In livestock production of such great importance, there are two main reasons for the fluctuations that occur in production. The first one of these is the decrease in animal production depending on rural-urban migration. ´´

Ps. 140; 153.

The total length of the shores of Turkey is 8592 km (excluding islands). The population density approximately doubles in the cities on the coastal line in Turkey. Besides this, the pressure on coastal cities is even more because of intensive migration. It is predicted that climate change will affect coastal areas, which show more sensitive properties and structure compared to the inner parts, very much. Coastal erosion, flood, and inundation are of the important problems on our sea fronts in Middle and East Black Sea, North Aegean and East Mediterranean regions, especially when the near past is considered.´´

Ps. 140; 153.
