Marmara Sea sees increased tuna activity amid reduced pollution
In the Marmara Sea, particularly around the Istanbul Strait, Golden Horn, and Izmit Gulf, there has been a notable increase in tuna activity. Associate Professor İsmail Burak Daban of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University suggests this trend is linked to a reduction in marine pollution following mucilage action plans and increased inspections. This cleaner environment has likely supported the growth of small pelagic fish populations, such as anchovies and sardines, which serve as a primary food source for tuna.
In other regional news, the 2nd Marmaris Seafood Festival is set to host international chefs from Rhodes, Germany, and Croatia to promote gastronomy. Additionally, in Elazığ, Sena Tunç has gained recognition as the city’s only female fish master, operating a business that employs only women to promote social awareness while continuing her family’s fishing tradition.
