In the Chesapeake Bay, water is brown but its sediment brown. The water just looks kind of muddy. In our time boating on the Chesapeake, we’ve noticed the stains it leaves on our boat how the water looks kind of dirty. I know of the pollution in the bay and how a great deal of it is from agricultural runoff, so I worry about the brown.
When we passed out of the Bay and through the waters of the Elizabeth River near Portsmouth, Virginia, the siltyness dropped out of the water and it seemed clearer but the brown changed from a silty brown to the color of tea or coffee. There were people fishing and I wondered how good the fish in such brown water could be good. Once we got beyond the city and into areas where there were a lot more trees on
