Evaluating content.
Everything in the article is relevant to the article topic. I think the use of scientific names distracted me and confused me a little bit. For example, the first paragraph talks about exopolysaccharide, but it also includes hyperlinks to further describe what these are to readers who are not familiar. Because this information is scientific and accurate, it is helpful in describing sea snot.The information is up to date, including a factoid about increased sea snot in 2021. While this issue does pertain mostly to the Mediterranean, I would enjoy reading about sea snot and the problems it causes around the United States, as that's where I am. This article could be improved by further describing countermeasures and ways to stop increasing sea snot. Recent information on protests or measures that are in the works to stop sea snot could be added. Also, a couple of citations are needed in a few spots. The scientific information is presented clearly, accurately, and without jargon. The article does link to other Wikipedia articles for related topics.

Evaluating tone.
The article appears to be neutral. There are not any claims that appear to be heavily biased toward a particular position; everything is pretty scientific and factual. The environmental viewpoint is represented an adequate amount, but I think that the economical viewpoint is underrepresented. The negative effects of sea snot on fishing industries and other economical factors are mentioned but not further explained.

Evaluating sources.
The links to the citations work. The sources support the claims in the article. Most facts are coupled with references; there are a couple that need citations. The information comes from a variety of sources, ranging from government websites to news reports. The sources appear to be neutral.
