"Sea snot", or marine mucilage, is a naturally-occurring green sludge that forms when algae is overloaded with nutrients as a result of hot weather and water pollution. ...It was first found in Turkey in 2007 but has also been discovered in the Aegean Sea near Greece.
Seems a bit of a stretch to call something caused by pollution "naturally-occurring".

Is this similar to sargassum growing out of control, or the red tides we've seen in the US gulf coast (from temp change + fertilizer spillage)?
Enormous organic pollution causes this. Warmer temp also helps.
I think Erdogan just vowed to fix climate change. Great!
