Mucilage has increased its impact on all coasts, especially in the Southern Marmara region. With the earthquake, it has begun to surface even more.
The mucilage in the Marmara Sea is not just an environmental disaster; it is a mirror of society, politics, and mentality. For those who want to see it, the message is actually very clear: Nature has begun to become like us.
Mucilage is not just an environmental problem. It is the manifestation of years of accumulated neglect, silences, and willful ignorance rising to the surface of the water.
This filth is not only the sediment of the sea but also of society. Just like the waste discharged into the sea for years without treatment, we speak without filtering, consume without thinking, and make decisions without accountability. We have accumulated everything inside us, and now the Marmara is vomiting it out. Mucilage is not just in the sea; it is in politics, in our cities, and even on our screens!
Everything is murky, sticky, and foul-smelling. As the gap between what is said and what is done widens, the mucilage grows. The truth sinks to the bottom, while empty words foam on the surface.
The earthquake issue is another form of mucilage. With every tremor, they say "lessons have been learned," but then it is the same concrete, the same neglect, and the same turning a blind eye again.
It is not the fault lines that are broken, but our understanding of governance. It is not the Earth's crust that has collapsed, but the crust of our reason. Every administrator who listens to rent-seeking instead of science is part of the disaster accumulating in these lands. It is not just the iron rotting inside the concrete, but our conscience. As nature warns us, we cover it up. Just like that white blanket covering the water, we cover everything up; the problems, the responsible parties, and even the questions themselves.
Perhaps we must first clean the mucilage in our own minds. We have very little time left to clear the murkiness between us and the truth.
