I have no idea how the F this would work. The water is brown due to fine suspended sediment. It is extremely hard to get it to settle out the water column. No amount of aquatic vegetation can turn the water blue...think about the Biloxi marsh in St Bernard...water is still brown tinted even when it’s clear over beds of sea grass in the marsh. They would need to artificially import tons of white sand to cap the silty sand beds they have in the nearshore, then isolate a lagoon and then magically remove suspended fines.

It won’t, for the reasons you stated and all the rivers that dump shite tons of tannins into the Sound from the Lake, the Bay, Biloxi Bay, all the way to the Pascagoula River. The barrier islands help block and settle the sediment before it reaches the gulf where a semblance of clear water begins, but this idea is just crazy talk.
