Oxygen depletion and rising pollution along the global climate change effects pose a threat to the future of sustaining healthy marine life in the strategically significant inland Marmara Sea, experts warn.
Turkey’s Marmara Sea, embattled with pollution and climate change, revived with transplanted corals but depleting fish stocks ring alarm bells for the landlocked body of water.
Still recovering from the impact of last year’s large-scale mucilage issue, the Marmara Sea’s marine life is threatened both by climate change and a backlog of years of pollution in one of Turkey’s most industrialized regions.
