The Sea of Marmara is under the influence of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. The salinity difference between these two seas causes the formation of two-layer stratification in the Sea of Marmara, an upper layer formed by the fresh waters of the Black Sea and a denser layer formed below 25 m of depth, by the more saline waters of the Mediterranean. The salinity difference, together with the seasonally changing meteorological events are the major factors which shape the main current system. The Mediterranean waters enter the

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between organic and inorganic substances in the recently observed pollution in the Sea of Marmara. The heavy metal analysis results of the sediments taken from the sea were interpreted by quality assessment methods [Enrichment Factor (EF), Contamination Factor (Cf), Pollution Loading Index (PLI), Geological Accumulation Index (I-geo), Ecological Risk Index (Er) and Pollution Index (PI)]. In almost all of the assessment methods, we determined that some locations are heavily polluted and some locations are moderately polluted. Polluted spots are the sea areas adjacent to the Gemlik and Bandırma locations and the areas where wastewater is discharged into the sea. In the current period, the primary sources of pollution in the Sea of Marmara are domestic and industrial wastewater discharged directly or indirectly into the sea. Secondary sources are ship traffic and agricultural activities. In addition, we observed that the main causes of eutrophication and mucilage, which are observed frequently in the Marmara Sea, are organic matter and heavy metal pollution.

The aim of this study is to investigate radioactive pollutants from pollution loads transported from the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea by the Turkish Straits System and their effects on microfauna (benthic foraminifer and ostracod) assemblages. In the study, the effects of gross alpha and beta activity on the species number, species diversity, dominant species and species richness of benthic foraminiferal and ostracod assemblages were investigated in 16 bottom sediments taken from different depths in the Golden Horn, Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits. In the studied sediment samples examined 61 genera and 64 species of benthic foraminifera, 23 genera and 26 species of ostracoda were identified. In addition two migratory foraminifera species were observed as Spiroloculina antillarum of Atlantic-Pacific origin and Peneroplis pertusus of Indo-Pacific origin. A relationship between the abundance of microfauna and high gross alpha and beta values was found in the Dardanelles samples, but not in the Bosphorus and Golden Horn samples. In this study, the highest radioactivity value was observed in the deepest bottom sediment samples. Consequently, the gross alpha and beta values were seen to be close to each other in the Dardanelles Strait and Golden Horn samples, and they had a broad-spectrum in the Bosphorus samples.
