Sea of Marmara has very narrow inlets (the Bosphorus, which connects it to the Black Sea in the northeast) and outlets (the Dardanelles, which connect it to the Aegean Sea in the west). This means that the slow circulation of the water would allow significant concentration to occur, since dispersal to the Aegean would take so long. (NASA, June 2003).
