The purpose of the study is to determine the water quality for the continuity of the aquatic life’ diversity and the health of the citizens and tourists swimming in the Kucuksu, Fenerbahce and Suadiye beaches. Between 5 June 2019 and 29 August 2019, water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and salinity were measured weekly onsite and seawater samples were collected to analyze heavy metal concentrations (Ba, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd and Se) via ICP-OES. Results showed that values are under the limits and there is no harm to human health and aquatic life. The measurements were compared with the literature data of beaches in the Mediterranean and of the same beaches in the previous studies.
