- A review report has been prepared by examining the research on habitat studies in the literature. This report provides detailed and chronological explanations of habitat classification procedures. The habitats along the northern coasts of Cyprus have been examined, and the locations and conditions of vermetid reefs have been reported. Emphasizing that vermetid reefs are included in the list of critical habitats and under protection, a draft proposal for conservation methods has been presented. During these studies, research has also been conducted on invasive alien species (IAS) encountered in these habitats. The effects of IAS on local habitats and other organisms have been investigated, and periodic counts and observations of their impacts have been conducted in designated areas. The impacts of species such as Pterois miles (Lionfish) and Diadema setosum (Sea urchin) have been detailed. In order to mitigate these impacts, efforts have been made to raise awareness among the local community and official institutions. In this regard, fishing competitions have been organized for these two species, followed by awareness campaigns on how to handle them properly for the local community. These studies have facilitated the use, accessibility, and comparability of data, enhancing the quality and outcomes of the studies. Our study also highlights the importance of international classifications, such as the IUCN and EUNIS, in terms of conservation and sustainability. Specifically, our study addressed coastal analyses, marine biodiversity, habitat classification, and integrated coastal zone management in selected areas along the Cyprus coasts. We also included a comparison of marine biodiversity in the Istanbul Islands and data on initial sightings of invasive species in the Mediterranean. The outputs of this thesis aim to contribute to the conservation, development, and initiation of new projects studies in the significant marine areas of Cyprus. 2023, 249 Pages. Keywords: Biodiversity, Cyprus, Habitat, Invasive Alien Species (IAS), Vermetid.
