Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 6 June 2021, shows the mucilage that is plaguing the Sea of Marmara. The image shows a detail of the coastline of the city of Bostanci where the sea snot formed a thick film, several hundred metres wide. Mucilage appeared at the beginning of May 2021. The combination of persistent hot temperatures and high pressure in this part of the Mediterranean Sea, which is rich in anthropogenic nutrients, has developed the optimal conditions for the abnormal growth of mucilage. The presence of these blooms is causing serious environmental damage to the marine biodiversity and local fisheries, and the Turkish government has recently announced that it will take actions to tackle the recurrence of such dangerous bloom in the coming years. Data from Copernicus missions are particularly useful for estimating the concentration of chlorophyll and for monitoring water quality.
