My name is Kadir. I have a deep passion and curiosity for the sea. Working on issues related to oceans, coastal seas, and estuaries—and finding sustainable ways to utilize and interact with them—fills me with both a sense of responsibility and a sense of wonder. For me, “Coastal Scientist” or “Coastal Engineer” is far more than a job title; it is a calling. Every contribution I make in this field brings me genuine pride and joy.
“To me, the sea is a continual miracle; The fishes that swim–the rocks–the motion of the waves–the ships, with men in them, What stranger miracles are there?”
– Walt Whitman
Through this website, I aim to share my professional journey, offer my perspectives on developments in the field, provide technical knowledge and tools for fellow ocean enthusiasts, and occasionally post more personal reflections.
I hope you find it inspiring and insightful.
Cheers,
Kadir
