Abstract
A controversial channel project is still on the agenda in Turkey. The project is called "Kanal Istanbul". The Turkish government wants to build a new canal to the existing Bosporus passage to reduce the traffic, to make the area safer and expecting to gain an economic and politic advantage. The government expects that the Kanal Istanbul will positively impact the trade and economy for the Black Sea countries which also would help to stabilize the whole region in a political way. But scientists are trying to make a projection for the future ecosystem for the whole area. They are very concerned that the ecosystem won't be the same as before.
