Gross Sea Mucus Blobs on the Rise
The horrors of marine mucilage:
As sea temperatures have risen in recent decades, enormous sheets of a mucus-like material have begun forming more often, oozing into new regions, and lasting longer, a new Mediterranean Sea study says (sea “mucus” blob pictures).
And the blobs may be more than just unpleasant.
