Ocean turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of seawater caused by the presence of suspended particles. These particles can include a variety of materials, such as sediment, organic matter, plankton, and pollutants. Turbidity is an important parameter in aquatic environments as it can affect light penetration, which in turn influences photosynthesis in aquatic plants and phytoplankton.
