Original Note:
Readers should be aware that the pollution you see here in the water is algal bloom, not sewage. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13409437/amp/Sea-south-England-goes-brown-including-Brighton.html However it should be noted that algal blooms are promoted by an increase in nutrients in the water, sewage discharge being one of the possible causes. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2021/november/the-deadly-effects-of-sewage-pollution-on-nature.html
