ncome generating activities in the planning process for the success <strong>of</strong> implementation. A scientific data foundation where proposed interventions to the area would be evaluated beforehandedly, to define precautions or to cancel the intervention, is accented as useful in the improved understanding <strong>of</strong> wetland ecosystem and taking perceptinle steps towards their conservation. However we are still at the beginning and we have problems empowering participation in the preperation process and the implementation <strong>of</strong> the plan as adopted by all parties. Steps such as strengthening coordination among institutions and increasing the capacities <strong>of</strong> parties that will prepare and update the plan lay ahead <strong>of</strong> us. We need practice towards securing the financal aspect <strong>of</strong> wetland management plans with regulations, monitoring more technically, and developing awareness on the importance <strong>of</strong> wetlands at a national scale. The current situation where local interest groups are uniting as to more actively participate in the stage <strong>of</strong> manag Delta, the increasing pace <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ramsar</strong> Site Management Plan practices, bring hope both for the lessons to be gained in process and for the wise use and participatory management <strong>of</strong> wetlands. Evaluating and making use <strong>of</strong> the results <strong>of</strong> past and present studies on wetland management for the upcoming term will increase success rate in the conservation and management <strong>of</strong> wetlands. A comprehensive approach to wetlands covering all sectors and their importance becoming comprehended by everyone is still one <strong>of</strong> the most important steps ahead <strong>of</strong> <strong>Turkey</strong> in the conservation <strong>of</strong> wetlands.
