    Water discolored

    Did anyone notice that the water was very discolored at Coco La Palm beach north towards the river yesterday?
    I wonder what caused this? We first saw it on their webcam but here is a picture taken yesterday by someone at Coco.

    It's a common occurence....the run off from the morass/river....happens every time there's been days of rain or a heavy rain...

    I keep hearing that it's sewage, is this true? Even if it was sewage, the sea is so big that I sure that it doesn't stick around for long.

    Yuck, who do you hear this from heater? I figured it was just tannic water from the breakdown of plants in the morass, what else is up river?

    Looks like sewage to me. There's way too much of it to be run off.

    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.

    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.
