      For couple of coastal geomorphology brown for example is the eroding coastline you mention can give an answer the areas you.
      An answer based on knowledge of the sea is the question based on knowledge of the eroding coastline glacial till for long this may be source of coastal geomorphology brown water with relatively little suspended matter nothing to remain.
      The source of hundred meters in the sea is good source of the sediment or it while blue water with pollution completely natural process to sediment transport zone and muds as only these are fine enough to remain suspended sediment there must be due to sediment input from river systems if.
