The input of industrial and domestic waste to the horizontal circulation in the Golden Horn Estuary of Marmara Sea has resulted in one of the most polluted estuaries in the past. Consequently, the dissolved oxygen concentrations in both the surface and bottom waters decreased toward to the estuary head during 1998-2005. In contrast, the total suspended solids content of the surface water decreased toward to the estuary mouth. However, construction of the operational collector system surrounding the estuary during the process of rehabilitation projects, combined with the opening of the middle pontoons of the Valide Sultan Bridge, resulted in gradually improved water quality of the estuary with a concomitant decrease in pollution. However, phytoplankton blooms and eutrophication persist especially in the innermost part of the Golden Horn in 2005. The region from the estuary mouth up to Camialti has a dynamic structure, and sufficient circulation seemingly occurs in this part of the Golden Horn.
工业和生活废水的输入导致马尔马拉海金角湾的水平循环成为过去最污染的河口之一。因此，1998 年至 2005 年期间，表层和底层水中的溶解氧浓度都朝着河口上游方向降低。相反，表层水中的总悬浮固体含量朝着河口下游方向降低。然而，在修复项目过程中，围绕河口建造运营收集系统，加上 Valide Sultan 桥中间浮桥的开通，使得河口水质逐渐改善，污染程度降低。然而，2005 年，特别是在金角湾最深处，浮游植物大量繁殖和富营养化仍然存在。从河口到 Camialti 的区域具有动态结构，金角湾的这一部分似乎有足够的循环。
