Turkish Marine Research Foundation (Türk Deniz Araştırmaları Vakfı - TUDAV) was established in 1997, in İstanbul, Turkey, to conduct scientific research on marine environments, protect marine life and share our love of seas & oceans with the people. For this purpose, we have created a data bank for information exchange, published more than 50 books on the subject, hold seminars and workshops regularly to educate people and bring together scientists and experts from many fields, and collaborate in various national and international research projects. We are allied with the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, the High Seas Alliance, CIESM, MedPAN, NASCU, ICCAT, ACCOBAMS and UNEP MAP RAC/SPA.
