Abstract

A total of 127 macro organisms; 17 floral and 110 faunal, were identified through in situ observations on 7 of the Gallipoli Campaign shipwrecks. Twenty species have economic value and four species were determined to have been in the IUCN List of Threatened Species on different levels. Protection measures should be taken not only for the sunken ships but also for the marine life growing on them.
