An underwater image from Degirmendere, Golcuk of Kocaeli, Turkiye shows a seahorse and reveals the spread of mucilage, which remains unseen on the surface of the water on December 29, 2024. Observed particularly between depths of 0-20 meters, the mucilage has caused significant harm to marine life. The thick layer traps jellyfish in the pelagic zone, covers the shells of mussels, and negatively impacts seahorses, one of the region's iconic species.
