Sea snot continues to expand in Marmara Sea

Mucilage, which was observed intensively on the water in the Sea of Marmara in 2007, is due to the excessive increase in the sea of single-celled plant microorganisms called "phytoplankton". In the Marmara Sea these single-celled microorganisms also multiply by taking advantage of the marine pollution caused by domestic and factory wastes and the changing water temperature level due to global climate change.
