Authorities Tell Public To Stay Out of the Water and Don't Eat Seafood in Kep Because of the Nasty Green Colored Water
Kep, Cambodia: The Ministry of Environment has told people to not swim at the beach in Kep or eat fresh seafood in Kep either.
They are waiting for lab results to come back, but they think the funky green color is most likely due to extra algae in the water, which can be harmful to humans.

I'm no expert but i think it's something to do with the water temperature.
But that's going to be crap for Khmer New Year in Kep for sure. They live off the famous Kep crabs and seafood.
Well, i guess SV will be the choice spot this year then ...

Not all the local businesses approved of the Ministry of Environment’s warning.
“Some idiots just tried to close the ocean out of panic,” Mr. Weenink said, pointing out that the peak of the algae bloom was three days ago and the sea is almost completely clear now. “What is happening now is a complete overreaction.”
Whether or not it is still a health risk, the algae bloom has caused Kep business owners to worry about a drop in the number of tourists. Khmer New Year starts on April 13 and is a peak season for Kep businesses, with many hotels and restaurants making as much during the holiday as they make in an entire month during the low season. Some local businesses are concerned that the algae bloom could discourage tourists this year...
