How to Apply Swamp Algae Layer to Water?

I’m creating a map, and am trying to do a swamp. Most of my efforts have been spent manipulating an ocean/water plane to no success.

I’ve checked pretty thoroughly but I can’t seem to find some sort of tutorial for creating the dirty, debris laden swamp water effect. I’ve checked the game assets thinking it might be a textured static mesh plane, but no. I’ve experimented with different material instances for water planes, but either I haven’t found the right combination or I’ve been looking at the wrong files (I’ve tried the algae masks and algae depth blur layers to no success). Any help would by appreciated, I don’t have much experience in the DevKit so it’s highly likely I could be using a completely incorrect water plane/texture/whatever. Thanks!

i seem to remember there is an algae texture/mesh some place in there …
I remember adding it to my map, a long time ago, and it looked like poo. Just didnt feel right.
Now, thinking back to playing ark, i do remember being able to show/hide algae layer when going above or below the water line, and, timed just right, you can see just that layer (as you know, there is a “line” where the postprocess layers dont get shown at all, seems kinda fixed in the latest Arks tho).
