Özet

The Black Sea ecosystem faces significant challenges due to climate change and

human activities. Despite this, the opportunities and potential of its Blue

Economy and the role of Turkish stakeholders in the key sectors have not

been well documented. To define the needs of the Black Sea’s Blue Economy

and outline existing problems, a workshop entitled “Engaging Stakeholders:

Trabzon Multi-Actor Forum” was held in Trabzon (Türkiye) in November 2022.

Stakeholders from the research sector, academia, civil society, industry, business,

competent authorities, and government shared their thoughts on various sectors

of the Blue Economy, covering 17 areas. They discussed political, environmental,

social, technical, legal, and economic aspects, revealing opportunities,

challenges, and areas where more research is needed. This meeting provided

valuable insights, indicating that efficient collaboration with stakeholders could

lead to effective solutions and strategies, helping to improve the Blue Economy in

the Black Sea region.
