Abstract
Many pollutants like heavy metals that are created as a result of increasing population and industrial production in parallel with the increasing population effects the ecological balance adversary with each passing day. The reflections of these developments on the wild life is higher because of their effects of life time, feeding and physiological properties. Hatay region comprises the Samandağ beach and Gulf of İskenderun which hosts the endangered Loggerhead and Green Sea Turtles and Mediterranean seals, Amanos Mountains which are located on the migration route of many migratory birds, Amik plain which hosts Mountain gazelle and Striped hyena and many other endemic species. Because of this ecological importance, the region must be monitored periodically for the presence of pollutants beginning with industrial heavy metals and their effects on living systems and the potential toxicological risks and stress that these pollutants caused on the living systems must be determined in advance and regional protection policies must be developed. For that purpose, the regional stations must be established in the jurisdictions of the general and local governments where take the responsibility mutually that can manage the processes according to local parameters with the information and technology communion at first for information and technology communion.
