Matt O’Malley, executive director and managing attorney for environmental group San Diego Coastkeeper, said, “Our team was out snorkeling that area [the week of July 5] after we saw the picture and noticed it was murky, but there was no discernible discharge causing it.”

Ed Parnell, a marine ecologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla who studies human effects on the coastal zone and the ecology of kelp forests and the coastal shelf environment, said the murky water “is as natural as you could expect.”
