As of May 2021, the mucilage threat affecting the marine environment of the Sea ofMarmara and the Turkish Straits has affected the environment and marine life.Significant in Mucilage formation is a slippery and gel-like mass of microorganismscomposed of proteins, carbohydrates, and released fatty acids, often aggregated andcovering large areas. It is also a structure expressed by single-celled organisms inpolluted, polluted, and stressful marine environmental conditions. In particular, Mucilagecan be seen in the Turkish Straits, although it is the waterway that connects the CaspianSea and the Mediterranean Sea, both sea creatures and ships passing by sea creatures.One of the effects of Mucilage is the clogging effect in the filtration of the seawater takento provide operation in the machine cooling water circuits of the passing ships. The studytries to define the effects of Mucilage on ships and the importance of sea pollution duringcruising in the Turkish Straits.Keywords: Mucilage, Turkish Straits Sea Area (TSSA), BWMS, MARPOL, Environment |
