Unusual Brownish Foam Appears Along Caranzalem Coast

Residents raise pollution concerns as experts call for scientific assessment A thick layer of brownish, sediment-rich sea foam was observed along Caranzalem Beach during recent high tides, drawing concern from residents and environmental observers.The foam, which forms when tidal action stirs up organic matter and seabed sediment, is often considered a natural monsoon-related occurrence. However, locals have raised concerns over possible pollution in the Mandovi Estuary, including untreated sewage discharge.Environmental experts say further scientific studies are needed to determine whether the phenomenon is natural or linked to pollution sources.
