Tourists on yachts to leave Turkey because of mucilage in Marmara sea

Tourists who arrived in Canakkale from England on a yacht, are preparing for their return due to the danger of mucilage. Tourists are preparing to leave Canakkale in case the yacht’s engine malfunctions. Musilaj also has a negative impact on tourism, especially in the Sea of Marmara this season.

The threat of mucilage, which has been effective in the Sea of Marmara for months, continues to increase its size from time to time. Especially for fishermen, the situation has turned into a nightmare, also affecting tourists, in a negative manner. According to news from Canakkale, British tourists who came to Istanbul on private yachts sailing from the UK have started preparing for their return these days.

Tourists noted that there is no mucilage round Bozcaada sides, but all area from the Dardanelles to the Istanbul Strait is covered and this causes damage to the yacht’s engine. The possibility that the filter, filter sections of single-engine yachts will deteriorate due to mucilage scares sailors. Tourists, on the other hand, stated that they will return from Canakkale and stated that musilage is a big problem for Turkey and the Sea of Marmara.
