Not only the Sea of Marmara is in danger, but also the Black Sea, where global warming is also threatening marine life, Turkish scientists have been quoted as saying by the Hurriyet Daily News and other local media. Monitor.
As a result of global warming, the water temperature in the Black Sea is rising abnormally, which is why marine biomes are under great threat, experts warned.
A scientific study by a team led by the director of the Institute of Marine Sciences at the Middle Eastern University, Mustafa Yudzel, shows that the water temperature in the Black Sea has risen by two degrees Celsius over the past 60 years due to climate change. If no action is taken, the marine ecosystem will suffer irreversible consequences.
According to scientists, the Black Sea is one of the seas in Europe that is most affected by global warming and human factors.
Due to the warming of the Black Sea, the whole system of ocean currents will change, says Yucel. This situation will also lead to the surface of anoxide (oxygen-free) water, he said.
Turkey faces an unprecedented marine mucus problem in the Sea of Marmara this summer. Authorities were able to clear the surface layer of mucus before the phenomenon grew further, but scientists in the country have warned that although sea mucus is no longer visible to the naked eye, the problem has not disappeared. They explain that it stems from the lack of oxygen and the presence of large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus in this inland sea of Turkey, which is the reason for the formation of sea mucus.
