Looks like sewage to me. There's way too much of it to be run off.
Huh? It is river water. The river runs through the Great Morass.Originally Posted by kaycee

I'm not scientist or biologist, or water treatment specialist. But it looks like the water in the river next to the roundabout to me.
in nov. of 2012, i stayed at country country . . . that "sewage" hit that far down the beach . . . it smelled pure s h i t . . . smell lingered . . .
Please read my "To stop the unfounded rumors" thread I just reposted. I posted first back in November 2012 to address the exact experience you are relating again...

rob, no disrespect, but the same conditions require the same reply . . . i'm not talking about hear say, i'm talking about what i experienced first hand . . .
Jitterbug.
I am talking first hand experience, I was there too. My reply was written in November 2012 based on what you and I both experienced in November 2012.
What you smelled was the rotting seaweed. It can produce an obnoxious odor. That smell would be there even if the river water hadnt been there. And if you remember correctly, the odor lasted for a few days after the water cleared.
So what you have done is to take two separate occurrences that happened simultaneously, the rotting seaweed and the river water and and came to the wrong conclusion. They are entirely two separate events and happened independently of each other.
People who witnessed this recent one as I did first hand all noted that there was no smell. That was because there was no rotting seaweed this time as we did not have rough seas to wash seaweed onto the beach. For your conclusion to be correct, there would have a horrible smell noted - which eyewitnesses said there was not. They experienced it first hand just as I did.
And I experienced both cases first hand.

I have friends staying at CCLP right now, they mentioned the water yesterday, but nothing about a horrendous smell. Said the water was as clear as can be today.
The reason they mentioned no smell is because there wasnt any. It was river water, not sewage, or as the best rumor we heard, an "oil spill from a tanker"..... gotta love the Negril Rumor Mill!
