The Gulf of Antalya is experiencing a notable increase in jellyfish populations, raising concerns among local fishermen. This surge, attributed to pollution in the Mediterranean, particularly the Eastern Mediterranean, has led to a decrease in fish populations and damage to fishing nets, with some jellyfish weighing as much as 10 kilograms. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Gökoğlu from Akdeniz University highlights this issue as a warning sign of the Mediterranean Sea's declining health, drawing parallels to the mucilage problem in Marmara. Fishermen are facing significant challenges, including reduced fish catches and damaged nets, due to the jellyfish proliferation.
