Abstract

In this study, loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta (Linnaeus 1758) was observed for the first time around the shipwreck of coast guard boat in Ördek Yalağı located at Gökceada Island, North Aegean Sea. The shipwreck is at a depth of 24.8 m. The loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta was recorded exactly on the ground and 2 m away from the ship on the shore side of the ship. In this study, Caretta caretta was recorded for the first time in this water depth and around a shipwreck that was used as an artificial reef for Turkish waters.
