Within the boundaries of the Kanlıca Management Directorate, recreation and hydrological services stand out; Riva Stream, as one of Istanbul's most important water sources, is critically important and meets the irrigation needs of surrounding agricultural areas and villages. In terms of recreational services, the Princes' Islands, Büyükada ecotourism routes, and walking routes around Alemdağ Reşadiye Recreation Area attract attention, while activities like picnic areas and sport fishing increase the region's appeal. Non-wood forest products such as resin obtained from Riva maritime pines and bay leaves are commercially utilized.
