Abstract

Abstract: Turkish seas are under the influence of increasing pollution and contamination as the seas and oceans in the world. Marine litter and pollution are constantly accumulating on the seafloor in Çanakkale and its surroundings, which are influenced by intense pollutants primarily from ship traffic and living due to human activities. In this study, three “Marine Litter Cleanup Activities” accompanied by divers in 2022 were conducted with the contributions of institutions and organizations of Çanakkale. Within the framework of “Turkey Environment Week Activities” on 1 June in Çanakkale Marina; within “Maritime and Cabotage Festival” on 1 July in Çanakkale Fishing Port; within “International Coastal Cleanup Day” on 19 September in Bozcaada Port of Çanakkale, marine litter cleanup by the diving method it was classified and its amounts were recorded. Then, the results and images obtained from the collected marine litter were evaluated. During these cleanup activities with 38 divers and 115 minutes by diving; a total of 1150 kg and 3600 pieces of marine litter were collected. As a result of this study, marine litter and coastal cleanup activities have been carried out for years and plan to continue in the coming years. Also, we have drawn attention to the necessity of reducing marine pollution by human-made marine litter and reducing pollution of our natural resources.
