Surely this has to be worth having a crack. I have inspected and explored port facilities, sea walls and and a myriad of coastal revetment works. I have extensively photographed many coastal developments and discussed with locals about the impacts of tourism on local and regional economies, cultures and the environment. I have sought out motorhome and camping parks (İ think we can do better than the Turkish model) and witnessed the impacts of ancient sea level rise on the sunken city of Kekova (ok so İ did this last one while sunbaking on the top deck of our 23 metre yacht wıth a beer in one hand!). I have travelled the coastal roads and experienced first hand the issues that arise at the hands of limited infrastructure planning.
All this in Turkey! (and a bit in Singapore) İ still have the coastlines of Syria, Jordan and Egypt to go!
Tongue in cheek as this is, İ will certainly return home with a far broader appreciation for how this region approaches coastal management. Here ends the only thought İ have had regarding work in the last 16 days!
