‘Sea snot’ outbreak off Turkish coast raises environmental alarm

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “‘Sea snot’ outbreak off Turkish coast raises environmental alarm” – below is their description.

A thick, slimy layer of algae is growing at an alarming rate in the Sea of Marmara, to the south of Istanbul, posing a growing threat to marine life and the Turkish fishing industry.

Experts have linked the increasing amounts of ‘sea snot’ to high sea temperatures, stemming from the climate emergency, as well as the discharge of untreated sewage into the sea.
