I suspect it's pollution. I have seen it many times even during the rainy season but not at this level of turbidity.

We rounded up fieldwork for 2025 with #BIOCOMP forest inventory at our Ankasa field site in Ghana. Of course, we didn't leave without a splash in River Ankasa and a spontaneous stop at the beach. 😀🌴 It's been a remarkable year for my group. @biocomp-erc.bsky.social @shamikroy.bsky.social
