Alexandru Bologa is a member of numerous national and international scientific
societies, such as Asociat ¸ia Culturala ˘ Dobroget ¸ia, Liga Navala ˘ Rom^ ana ˘, La Maison
Roumaine (France), the International Phycological Society, the International Union
of Radioecology, and the Eco-Ethics International Union, among others.
Dr. Bologa is a member of the editorial boards of Noesis and Studii s ¸i
comunica ˘ri/DIS (both of the Romanian Academy), Studii s ¸i cerceta ˘ri de
oceanografie costiera ˘ (University of Bucharest), Marea Noastra ˘ (Constant ¸a), the
International Ocean Institute (IOI) Ocean Yearbook (1996–2004), and the Journal
of the Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment (TUDAV, Turkey).
Alexandru is an authorized translator and interpreter for the German language.
As a multilingual, he loves reading and traveling, to enrich his knowledge base,
feelings, and emotions sur place. In a word, Alexandru is a true scholar par
excellence who is now enjoying his emeritus status.
As a final word in closing, I must sadly report our acknowledgment of the fact
that the present leadership of the National Institute for Marine Research and
Development (NIMRD) “Grigore Antipa,” from Constanta, did not allow for
some unknown reason the participation of its employees in the Festschrift. As the
home institute of Alexandru, this situation was most regrettable.
