The “sea snot” that plagues Turkey’s Marmara sea could be a harbinger of whats to come for other bodies of water across the world, especially in the United States.
Sea snot occurs due to rising water temperatures that cause phytoplankton–a normally essential part of a body of water’s ecosystem– to overgrow and from a thick, congealed layer of mucilage called “sea snot.”

Oceanographer Mustafa Yucel has warned that what is occurring may not be isolated in Turkey. Other bodies of water are experiencing the same conditions that lead to the environmental catastrophe taking place in the Marmara Sea.
