Dr. Emre Ozsahin, “Especially when the Northwest wind blows, it is the retreats seen in the Marmara Sea every year. Especially in the low coasts, the withdrawals are clearly visible. In Tekirdag, the Marmaraereğlisi district, which is called the King’s Road, is seen in a wide area because of the low amplitude of this withdrawal. People feel uneasy about this withdrawal. This retreat has nothing to do with earthquake activity in the region. It is an event that occurs periodically, with the wind always blowing in the same direction in certain seasons.
