Why do most of the coasts here in the UK (At least east to west, blackpool<->hull) have brown water?

It can’t just be *all* polution can it? I know in the last 13odd years of a tory government the water companies have been allowed to get away with constant sewage dumping (far over their allowed limits, feel free to look up any report or documentary on this) I’ve seen multiple “blue flag” beaches now have their water quality drastically lowered.

So excluding this why is it *always* brown/looks horrid? Its never a beautiful blue! Theres multiple beaches up/around Scotland that seem to have beautiful blue waters but of course its just freezing up there!

Additional to other comments, both the locations you mentioned are at the mouth of a river, so the local water is full of river sediments picked up by the river
