Özet:
Göcek – Fethiye Bay is a unique marine area in Turkey; however, increasing human
activities and related pollution affect decrease in the water quality. The water quality
can be reserved if there is sufficient amount of water exchange between bays and the
offshore region. The coastal morphology and wind driven currents and tidal motion
are other important factors facilitate circulation and improve the quality marine
environment. Therefore, all factors forcing water exchange should be investigated and
the adverse effects (mainly from human activities) should be evaluated by proper
methods. This study is specifically concerned with three - dimensional numerical
circulation modeling of Göcek and Fethiye Bays. Bathymetric, oceanographic and
meteorological site surveys are conducted before setting up the numerical model,
MIKE 3 Flow Model Hydrodynamic Module. Monthly and seasonally met – ocean
variations on the site was studied by using database available from Turkish State
Meteorological Service. The circulation model within the boundaries was set up by
applying at least two main directions of current and wind for twelve months with total
twenty-four different scenarios. On the basis of the results of this study, the water
exchange capacity of Göcek and Fethiye Bays, and investigations on improvements of
water exchange and related environmental parameters are performed. Future
recommendations for the management perspective on increasing the water quality will
be developed.
