Does nuking ocean bases cause pollution? - Photo of Trash Lot on Shore

I am very late game on a huge map. Some time back, I experienced a lot of pollution, many mind worm attacks and sea levels rising.

I chose green politics and started building lots of tree farms, temple of planet, etc, but I gave that up and decided to go full out on nuclear attack, since I haven't done that in a decade or so. I figured that I would soon be having mega pollution, with all the nuking that I would be doing.

Because of the rise in sea levels, there are lots of ocean bases, plus of course, the Pirates, and prophet Chi Dawn is also totally aquatic, for some reason.

Now, on a huge map, I have already used over 20 nukes, mainly on ocean bases, with no apparent side effects.

Does nuking ocean bases have no polluting effects, or is there something else going on?
