Brown marsh, often referred to as "brown tide," is primarily caused by algal blooms, particularly those from certain species of phytoplankton such as Aureococcus anophagefferens. These blooms can occur due to nutrient pollution, often from agricultural runoff or wastewater, which leads to excessive growth of the algae. The brown color can affect water quality, light penetration, and the overall health of aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, it can harm local fisheries by depleting oxygen levels and disrupting food chains.
