A time-lapse video taken in Istanbul has shown how marine mucilage, also called "sea snot," invaded the Marmara Sea, revealing the extent of the environmental disaster.
A thick slimy layer of the organic matter has spread through the sea south of Istanbul, posing a threat to marine life and the fishing industry.
Harbors, shorelines and swathes of seawater have been blanketed by the viscous, greyish substance, some of which has also sunk below the waves, suffocating life on the seabed.
