Relationship with Marine Environmental Consciousness and Maritime Culture in Turkey

Abstract

The maritime states, which have adopted the tradition of using the seas continuously in the historical process, have increased their power and wealth by the way of maritime culture and tradition they have created, and have become more sensitive to the marine environment. In this article, how the maritime culture was acquired, its effects on the maritimization of countries, and environmental awareness were examined, and the things to be done for the future social life were investigated. It has been observed that the maritime strategy implemented by developed countries is remarkable in all areas of life from the individual to the state, in terms of understanding the importance of maritimization and finding its application area. It was discussed the general situation in maritime culture and marine environmental awareness in Turkey. It is important to ensure that the public is well informed and to gain this awareness and to voluntarily participate in activities aimed at protecting the marine environment. As a result, the importance of conveying scientific findings to the public in a language that can be easily understood and the emphasis of the state on maritime culture and policies towards the conservation of the marine environment with a holistic approach was emphasized.
