Marine diatom research in the coastal waters of Turkey started nearly two centuries ago. In the last decades, in-creasing numbers of contri-butions extended the knowledge of the marine phytoplankton. While sev-eral studies dedicated to planktonic forms and the checklists published con-cerning on the phytoplank-ton, relatively low numbers of benthic diatom studies were performed. Therefore, this is the first detailed list of the marine diatoms in-cluding both planktonic and benthic forms in Turki
