Marmara and the bottom of the coastal areas since the winter months of the year 2020 had become Turkey's nightmare. Sea snot formation, which decreased towards the end of the summer months, had almost disappeared from the surface of the sea by autumn. The situation is very different when we look at the bottom of the places where the sea snot is no longer seen on the surface. When we compare it with the dense sea snot formations that cover the bottom of the sea, we realize that what we see on the sea surface is only the tip of the iceberg. A large amount of sea snot is below the sea surface. Sea snot clinging to the fishermen's nets clogs the eye openings of the nets, making the net inoperable and making it difficult to get the caught fish into the boat because it makes the nets heavy. We call this sticky pollution sea snot or sea saliva. Turkish fishermen named this formation kaykay. We mistakenly called sea snot mucilage because the slimy, sticky mucilage formation secreted by algae and bacteria living in the sea is also found in sea snot. Sea snot also includes mucilage substance, but mucilage is not sea saliva entirely. </span><br></p>
