True, but I can at least try to reduce a bit the worse effects. If not 
satisfying, I shall leave it as is.

Good point, but remember that this harbour is open to the river, not to 
the sea. There may be sea water influxes from tides (feeble in the 
Mediterranean) or from sea wind, but then that would probably also 
become murky from the shallow bottom... and I don't know how well the 
sewage system of Gancaloon functions ;-)

As a good comparison, how clear is the Nile water close to the 
Mediterranean? Well, watching through Google Earth, not too murky it 
seems... I shall have to decide how murky the Yann is.
