Development of Protected Underwater Landscapes Network's in the Black and Azov Seas | Chapter 8 | Emerging Issues in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 5

 This division concerned with the development of a inclusive methodology to demonstrate a MPAs (marine protected districts) network in the Black Sea and Azov Expanse region. The Russian terrestrial science school has made important progress in the development of methods of complex terrestrial studies of underwater countrysides and their classifications. The MPAs network is a sophisticated system of countryside zoning and plan, defining their sustainability, variability, and geo-environmental state, and taking into consideration an evaluation of the undersea countryside's degradation over the past centennial. These claims are supported by scientific evidence. In accordance with our classification, terrestrial zoning of the Azov-Black Lake basin—the MBNCs zoning map was founded with scale of 1:1,250,000. Established the developed classification and design of the Black and Azov Seas MBNCs with various hierarchical levels of the physiographic edging, following methodology could be submitted for the development of an ecological network for MPAs. In accordance with the ecosystem approch projected by MPAs, a map was created. In the Azov-Dark Sea physiographic country example of disgraced MBNCs requiring necessary conservation measures are Zernov Phyllophora Field, oyster beds; MBNCs complicated mussels biocenoses (Mytilus galloprovincialis), MBNCs, employed biocenoses eelgrass (Zostera noutii); MBNCs Mediterranean eel residences (Conger conger), MBNCs of species listed operating at a loss Book, and estuary zone Kuban waterway Kuban to restore communities of commercial fish variety, the MBNC, commonly used types of sturgeon for augmenting, wintering, training, and transit. This study showed that the experimental basis for the justification of locating a network of MPA is a complex project including countryside zoning and mapping, habitual by the analysis of the main elements of the MBNCs indicators that decide their variability, stability, and geo-environmental condition.
