>From the article:

"Scientists have long speculated that the organic materials in Titan's
atmosphere were formed by seas or lakes of methane or ethane, but the
latest Cassini images did not show any evidence that Titan is awash in
pools of methane."

The Huygens images showed what looked like a river system, and I
remember people saying at the time that they also showed a sea or
large lake (presumably of something like methane or ethane), though to
me the pictures looked too bland to tell either way - is the consensus
now that there aren't any seas or lakes there?
