Abstract :In the study, International Waterbird Census (IWC) conducted in 2021 in wetlands with different habitat characteristics around the Dardanelles were evaluated. 3086 individuals belonging to 30 waterbird species were counted in Kavak Delta, 31 species and 1150 individuals in Çardak Lagoon, 22 species and 3906 individuals in Gökçeada Salt Lake, 11 species and 289 individuals in Suvla Salt Lake and 8 species and 84 individuals in Uzunhızırlı Pond. The highest species diversity (Shannon-Wiener Indices, H: 2,473) and the highest species richness (Margalef Index, M: 4,257) were calculated in the Çardak Lagoon. As the number of habitats in the wetland increased, the number of species also increased (p<0.0001). As a result, the data obtained revealed the importance of the wetlands for the winter visitor waterbirds, and pioneering data were presented for the sustainability of the wetlands in future studies.
