This Latest Expedition Aimed to Determine The Current Extent of Mucilage, Assesss Oxygen Levels and Monitor Ongoing Pollution Pressure, Professor Barış Salihoğlu, A Member of the Committee, Emphasized.
“He Said,” He Said. “In Addition to Taking Samples at Various Depths, We Also Mapped Mucilage Distribution in Real Time Using Unmanned and Towed Devices.”
While Mucilage is Widespread Across the Marmara, it remains Less Intense Than Duration The 2021 Outbreak, The Expert Pointed out.
“It is more commOND BETWEEN 20 TO 30 METERS RATHER TAN AT THE SURFACE. We note Detect Mucilage. “
Salihoğlu Warned That Conditions Remain Ripe for Further Mucilage Formation As Oxygen Conchern.
“He Noted,” The Oxygen Deficit Continues, and Pollution Levels Remain High. “The extent to which mucilage will develop in the coming months.

The expert stressed that raising oxygen levels is key to mitigating the issue, Stating, “This Requires Upgrading Municipal Wastewater Systems to Advance Biological Treatment and Reduction Pollution from Diffuse Sources.
He also highlight the Need to Expand Marine Protected Areas and Regulatory Fishing Activity Along The Marmara Coast.
“IF We Are Resolte in Carrying Out This Action Plan, We Think That A Healthier Marmara Is Achievable.”
