In honor of the 101st anniversary of the Republic, the Faculty of Marine Science and Technology at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University (ÇOMÜ) held a special ceremony at the Dardanos Resort Pier. The event began with a moment of silence and the singing of the Turkish National Anthem, with the participation of our Rector, Prof. Dr. R. Cüneyt ERENOĞLU. Following this, students and faculty members took part in a traditional commemorative dive. During the dive, participants symbolically expressed their devotion to the 101st anniversary of the Republic underwater. This meaningful event carried great significance, not only in celebrating the Republic’s anniversary at sea but also in raising awareness about marine consciousness.
