  • Marmara Sea, Turkey

    World free-diving record holder Sahika Ercumen dives into the depths of Marmara Sea with a single breath to show marine mucilage – ‘sea snot’ – which has become more visible in recent years. Mucilage in the Marmara Sea is driven by a combination of rising sea surface temperatures, the discharge of untreated waste into the water, and the sea’s unique semi-enclosed structure, which limits water circulation. Following a major outbreak in 2021, monitoring and cleanup efforts have continued, with experts reporting partial improvements despite periodic increases in mucilage levels
