In December 2012, epipelic diatom samples were taken from Akliman Bay, Sinop and were examined to determine the marine benthic diatom flora. As a result, 31 taxa from genus Amphora, Berkeleya, Biremis, Chamaepinnularia, Fallacia, Gomphonemopsis, Halamphora, Licmophora, Mastogloia, Navicula, Neosynedra, Nitzschia, Opephora, Parlibellus, Planothidium and Seminavis were found as new records for `Turkish marine benthic diatom flora`. Also, Biremis, Gomphonemopsis and Neosynedra are new genera records for `Turkish marine benthic diatom flora`. Keywords : Benthic, diatom, marine, new record, Turkey
