1) Kelp, being vegetation needs sunlight to grow, hence why if it made its way into muddy or deep water where sunlight is hard to come by it would sease to grow and would die out.

2) In certain circumstances the conditions in muddy or deep water result in less oxygen/nutrients etc so again the organism would find it hard to grow.
