initiatives that promote awareness of sustainable management of fisheries,
aquaculture, and tourism at both local and national levels. The Hitit
University Centre for Aquaculture and Water Sports Research and Application
engages in studies to support aquatic production, ecosystem balance,
sustainable use of water resources, and education and research activities. In
addition, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and
local institutions, the university contributes to the conservation of cultural
heritage and sustainable irrigation management through the process of including
the Göğmepınar (Hittite) Dam in the World Heritage Irrigation Structures List.
These efforts strengthen sustainable water use, raise public awareness among
local communities, and support the preservation of natural heritage.

and Conservation in the Çorum River Ecosystem.” Through such initiatives, the
monitoring of local plant and animal species, the development of conservation
strategies and the establishment of informed ecosystem-management models are
facilitated. Our university supports the preservation of biological diversity
within the framework of sustainable development through research
infrastructure, field work and stakeholder partnerships.
