Caribbean Sea: “A true Paradise on Earth. Is it possible to determine the color of the sea
(Spanish: Mar Caribe; English: Caribbean Sea) is one of the most beautiful tropical seas, part of the Atlantic Ocean. An marginal semi-enclosed sea, bounded from the south and west by the Central and South America, from the east and north - the Antilles (thanks to which the sea has a second name - Antilles).
In the northwest, the sea communicates with the Gulf of Mexico through the Yucatan Strait (Spanish: Yucatán Channel); through many interisland straits - with Atlantic Ocean; and in the southwest, through an artificially constructed 80-kilometer waterway (Panama Canal) - with the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The region where the Caribbean Sea lies is known as the Caribbean. The shores of the following countries are washed by sea waters: in the south - and Panama; in the west - Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and (Mexican Peninsula); in the north - Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Jamaica; in the east are the countries of the Lesser Antilles. The surface area of the sea is about 2,753 thousand km², the average volume of water is approximately 6,860 thousand km³.

The sea is considered very deep: its average depth is 2.5 thousand m, the maximum is 7.7 thousand m (“Cayman Trench”). The color of sea water: from turquoise (bluish-green) to rich green.
The Caribbean Sea has a huge economic and strategic importance, first of all, as the shortest sea route, connecting American ports with the ports of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through one of the largest construction projects carried out by mankind (Spanish: del Canal de Panama). The most important ports located in the Caribbean Sea: and (Venezuela); (Colombia); Lemon (Costa Rica); Santo Domingo ( Dominican Republic); Colon (Panama); Santiago de Cuba (Cuba), etc.
Climate
The climate in the Caribbean is influenced by warm ocean currents and solar activity in this tropical zone. The average annual temperature of the surface layers of sea water is +26°C. The Caribbean Sea receives the waters of many rivers, among which it should be noted (Spanish: Madalena), Atrato (Spanish: Atrato), Belém (Spanish: Belém), Dique (Spanish: Dique), Cricamola (Spanish: Kramola), etc.
The main trouble that often disrupts the idyll of these fabulous places is destructive storms. The Caribbean Sea is considered to have the most hurricane storms in the Western Hemisphere.
Hurricanes are a serious problem for island and coastal communities. Hurricanes also cause great damage to numerous coral formations - atolls, reefs, and coastal fringes of islands. In the northern part Caribbean Sea From June to November there are an average of 8-9 tropical hurricanes per year.
Cradle of Pirates (Caribbean)
The sea received its name from a tribe of Carib Indians who lived on its warm coast in the pre-Columbian era. The sea has become famous for its amazingly beautiful coral reefs, frequent tropical cyclones, which are accompanied by devastating hurricanes, and pirates, who have chosen it as a field of their “fishing activities” for a long time.
The coastline of the sea along its entire length is extremely indented: there are numerous lagoons, bays, bays, and capes. The coastal soil is sandy, sandy-silty or rocky in places.
The coast in many places is covered with coral, amazing white sand.
Among large bays it should be noted Honduran (Spanish: Golfo de Honduras), (Spanish: Golfo de Venezuela), Mosquitos (Spanish: Golfo de los Mosquitos), Ana Maria (Spanish: Golfo Anna Maria), Batabano (Spanish: Golfo de Batabano), Gonave (Spanish: Golfo de Gonave).
The Caribbean Sea is very rich in islands. General group Caribbean Islands united under the name “Antilles Archipelago” (Spanish: Antillas archipiēlago) or “West Indies” (Spanish: West India archipiēlago). The archipelago is divided into island groups: the Greater Antilles and the Lesser Antilles (Netherlands), and Bahamas(Spanish: Bahamas).
The Greater Antilles, which are mainly of continental origin and located in the northern part of the sea, include the following large islands like Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Small Antilles(divided depending on their location to the northeast trade wind into Windward and Leeward) are mainly of volcanic or coral origin.
Among the many small islands of this group, the following can be distinguished: the famous Bahamas; distinctive Turks and Caicos; Virgin Islands, divided between the US and UK; exotic Antigua and Barbuda; open to the omnipresent Guadeloupe; the island of Martinique (French Martinique), known as the birthplace of Josephine de Beauharnais (French Joséphine de Beauharnais), the first wife of Napoleon I; as well as Grenada, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago; and finally Dominica, the largest of the Windward Islands. Perhaps it is necessary to mention the island of Curacao, which “gave” its name to the popular liqueur.
Tourist paradise
The extraordinary popularity of the Caribbean among tourists is easily explained: the warm sea all year round, fabulous beauty nature, a decent level of service, a wide selection of hotels (for every taste and budget) and a huge “menu” of all kinds of entertainment: interesting excursions, an abundance of historical and natural attractions, water and land sports, restaurants, discos, nightclubs.
A distinctive feature of the Caribbean region is a large selection of various holiday options: each state here has its own “specialization”.
For example, in Barbados, English national traditions have firmly taken root in life, and holidays here are mostly measured and calm.
Known as the "spice island", Grenada is home to many museums, botanical gardens, historical sites and stunning white beaches.
Magnificent hotels of the highest level, excellent diving conditions and the famous SPA centers of Turks and Caicos attract the attention of respectable visitors.
Saint Lucia bears the proud title of “Garden Island”, being one of the most beautiful islands Caribbean Sea. As if in contrast to this, in the Caribbean Sea there is also the desert island of Aruba, with luxurious hotels and enchanting nightlife.
The Bahamas offers tourists all kinds of accommodation options, from secluded small hotels to noisy, bustling hotel complexes.
And in Curacao it’s simply impossible not to stop by one of the many bars to order a glass of the delicious blue drink!
Bottom relief
The bottom relief of the sea is characterized by unevenness - numerous rises and depressions, underwater ridges, the bottom is conventionally divided into 5 main basins: Grenada (4120 m), Colombian (4532 m), Venezuelan (5420 m), Yucatan (5055 m) and Bartlett, with the deep-sea Cayman trench (7090 m, this is the deepest underwater volcanic fault in the world). The Caribbean is considered seismically active; underwater earthquakes are common here, often causing tsunamis.
The deep seabed is covered with calcareous foraminiferal silts and clays.
Flora and fauna
Vegetable and animal world Caribbean extraordinarily rich and varied. Extensive coral structures are typical tropical coral communities of living organisms. Huge variety and amazing beauty of shapes water world attract connoisseurs of underwater landscapes and the most sophisticated divers from all over the world and amaze with their splendor. Although the local flora is not distinguished in quantitative terms, it is characterized by a rich species composition. In the Caribbean Sea you can find entire underwater fields of macroalgae. In shallow waters, vegetation is mainly concentrated in coral reef areas. Here you can find algae such as tortoiseshell thalassia (Latin: Thalassia lestudinum), Cymodoceaceae (Latin: Cymodoceaceae), and sea rumpia (Latin: Ruppia maritima). Chlorophyll algae grow in deep sea areas. Macroalgae of the Caribbean Sea are represented by dozens of different species.
Phytoalgae are very poorly represented here, as in all tropical seas.
The fauna of the sea is richer and more diverse than the plant life. Various fish, marine mammals and all kinds of bottom-dwelling animals live here.
The bottom Caribbean fauna is represented by numerous sea snakes, worms, mollusks (gastropods, cephalopods, bivalves, etc.), various crustaceans (crustaceans, crabs, lobsters, etc.) and echinoderms (urchins, starfish). Coelenterates consist of a rich spectrum of coral polyps (including reef-forming ones) and all kinds of jellyfish.
The Caribbean Sea is home to sea turtles, including the green turtle, the loggerhead turtle, the hawksbill turtle, and the Atlantic ridley, the smallest and fastest-growing sea turtle. When famous at the beginning of the 16th century. crossed the Caribbean Sea in the area of the present-day Cayman Islands, the path of his ships was literally blocked by an immense herd of green turtles. Amazed by the abundance of these sea animals, Columbus named the group of islands he discovered “Las Tortugas” (Spanish: Las Tortugas - “turtles”).
For centuries, turtles served as a source of food for travelers, sailors, pirates and whalers off Las Tortugas. But this beautiful name, unfortunately, did not take root, just as the once countless turtle herds did not survive. As a result of thoughtless human activity (uncontrolled fishing for many years, destruction of turtle egg-laying grounds, ruthless sea pollution), where in the old days sailboats had difficulty making their way through a dense barrier of teeming turtle shells, it is now not easy to meet even one individual.
Marine mammals also make their home in the warm, gentle waters of the Caribbean. Large cetaceans (sperm whales, humpback whales) and several dozen species of smaller dolphins are found here. Pinnipeds are also found here, which are mainly represented by gaptooths (lat. Solenodontidae) - small mammals that live on some islands. In ancient times, many monk seals lived in the Caribbean Sea; today this species is extinct.
The Caribbean fauna is infinitely diverse! Once did not exist, just a few thousand years ago the water connection of the world's great oceans - the Pacific and the Atlantic - was disrupted, so the diversity of the Caribbean fauna is explained by the presence of many Pacific species of animals here.
Almost 500 different species of fish live here, ranging from small schooling and bottom-dwelling representatives of the fish community (moray eels, barracudas, flounder, gobies, rays, flying fish) to large species of fish (sharks, marlin, swordfish, tuna, etc.).
Fishing objects in the sea are mainly sardines, tuna, lobsters; The objects of sport fishing are sharks, marlins, large barracudas and swordfish.
Numerous sharks of the Caribbean Sea are represented by gray sharks (including reef, bull, silky) and various benthic species(nannies, sixgills, squatinids, etc.). Tiger and even white sharks, which are very rare, are also found in coastal waters. In the open waters of the sea you can find hammerhead, blue, whale and longfin sharks. By the way, the largest of the sharks, the whale shark, never attacks humans; it feeds on plankton and small fish, filtering water through thousands of sharp, small teeth. It is considered the most dangerous for humans White shark
“Sea, sea... Bottomless world!” - these words from a once popular song excite our imagination with romantic pictures of seascapes with blue distances, blue skies and turquoise waves. Somewhere in our souls our distant warm sea begins to rustle, echoing the rustling waves in summer sea fantasies...
According to the International Geographical Bureau, there are 4 oceans and 54 seas on Earth, which together form the World Ocean, which makes up two-thirds of the surface of the entire globe.
If you take sea water into your palm, it will turn out to be transparent, having no color at all. And only in the sea or ocean does it acquire its unique shade.
The color of sea water in the World Ocean is far from uniform, and it is different in different parts of the Earth, that is, each sea has a unique color shade, unique to it.
The first device for determining the color of reservoirs was invented at the end of the 19th century by the Swiss geographer Forel, who was studying lakes. The device was somewhat inconvenient for working with sea water.
The famous German oceanographer Ule developed a water color scale, consisting of a set of twenty-two glass sealed test tubes with samples of solutions of different shades, from light aquamarine to brownish green. Ole modified the device, improved it, and in given time Using this device you can determine the color of sea water.
The color of sea water changes periodically, and this depends on many factors, primarily on lighting, depth, transparency, color of the seabed, the presence of gases and the quantitative density of microorganisms inhabiting the sea, as well as on phenomena such as glow and sea bloom.
Caribbean Sea
In the distance, the color of the sea is close to the color of the sky. In cloudy weather it is gray, in clear weather it is blue. When the Sun sets, the bright blue sea takes on a golden hue. During waves, the sea appears whitish.
Scientists studying depths of the sea, claim that many seas got their name due to the color of the water. They believe that in warm seas In the tropical zone, the color of the water is dark blue, and even blue; in shelf seas it is greenish, and in muddy coastal seas it has a yellowish tint.
Have you ever wondered why most seas are named after their colors? For example, Yellow, Black, Red, Blue..?
Why is the White Sea called white, the Black Sea black, the Red Sea red, and the Yellow Sea yellow?
White Sea- the sacred sea of the North, it conceals a lot unsolved mysteries. The White Sea probably got its name from the color white snow and the ice that covers it in winter. But there is another assumption, which is that the name “White” Sea received from the religious meaning of the sphere, that is, the heavenly one. Indeed, in semantics, white is a heavenly, divine color. There is a hypothesis that the White Sea and its coast are located on the territory of a once thriving mystical civilization - Hyperborea.
White Sea. Solovki.
Black Sea got its name because in cloudy weather the surface of the sea darkens under black clouds. The Turkic nomads, who noticed this, gave it the name “Kara-Deniz”.
There is another plausible assumption about the origin of the name of the Black Sea. It has been known since ancient times that all objects that have been in its mysterious depths turn black. And this happens because at a depth of more than 200 meters sea water saturated with hydrogen sulfide, which easily forms black salts.
Black Sea.
Red sea It has a red color due to brown microscopic algae that periodically develop in it. But there is another version regarding the name of the Red Sea. They say that in ancient times, sailors gave the sea the name “Red” because of the color of the rocks with which it is surrounded.
Exists ancient legend, relating to biblical events, which tells about the difficult journey of the Jews from Egypt to Israel through the Red Sea. Moses, who led the Jewish people, ordered in God's name part to the sea waters. And before their eyes it opened deep bottom seas with rocks and mountain ranges, with gorges and depressions, during the passage through which a lot of people died, which was the reason for the name of the Red Sea.
The Red Sea, located between Asia and Africa, is where the desert meets the ocean and is one of the most exotic places on our planet.The Red Sea is also one of the most transparent and saltiest seas. Its crystal purity is explained by the fact that not a single river flows into it, which could bring silt and sand with it and, thereby, cloud the sea waters. And although the sea is called Red, its waters have a beautiful azure color.
Red sea
Yellow Sea- a semi-enclosed marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean off the eastern coast of Asia west of the Korean Peninsula. The name comes from the color of the water caused by sediment from Chinese rivers and dust storms. In spring, yellow dust storms are so strong that ships have to stop moving.
The Yellow Sea forms the West Korean, Liaodong and Bohai Gulfs. Mostly coastline calm, composed of alluvial deposits. There are convenient harbors on the coast of the Liaodong and Shandong Peninsulas. The Yellow Sea itself is shallow, especially in the western part, where the Yellow River flows into it, carrying a huge amount of silt and eroded loess (hence the names: Yellow River - Yellow River, Huanghai - Yellow Sea).
Yellow Sea
Which seas have the greenest water color?
There are amazing things on Earth beautiful seas with eye-catching fairy-tale shades. These sea “beauties” include Sargasso Sea.
The Sargasso Sea has a bright greenish tint due to the accumulation of green algae on its surface, which form entire islands, roads, and even fields. And the sailors who found themselves in this area of the ocean for the first time mistakenly took it for land.
Sargasso Sea
One of the brightest tropical seas is Caribbean Sea. Its water shines from deep turquoise to bright emerald shades.
Caribbean Sea. St. Martin Island
Sea of Azov also has a greenish tint, especially during the plankton development season. And during the storm season, the sea takes on a color from yellow-green to yellow-brown due to changes in water transparency. The sea begins to become cloudy because the bottom silt periodically becomes agitated and the river flow of turbid waters increases.
Sea of Azov
And if you try to answer the question, which sea is the bluest, it is unlikely that you will come to one single true answer. After all, each sea has its own unique color from the blue range with unique shades of turquoise, aquamarine or emerald.
The bluest sea is the sea that lives in our joyful memories or sweet dreams of beauty. And dreams certainly come true...
The very best...
The deepest sea in the world is the Philippine Sea, whose area is more than 5.7 million km2. The greatest depth here reaches 10265 m.And the shallowest is the Yellow Sea, where the depth does not exceed 100 m.
The largest surface area is occupied by the waters of the Sargasso Sea - about 7 million km2. The White Sea is the smallest among the ocean seas. The area of its water surface is only 90 thousand km2.
The Red Sea is the warmest and saltiest sea on the planet. The strongest evaporation of sea water occurs from its surface compared to other seas. It is curious that not a single river flows into this open sea. Maybe for this reason, the Red Sea holds the lead among the most polluted seas in the world.
The record for the transparency of sea water on the planet was recorded off the coast of Antarctica, in the Weddell Sea. Here the water is the purest, almost like distilled water. The white object, lowered to a depth of 79 m, remains visible to the naked eye.Among the seas that wash other parts of the world, the clearest water is in the Mediterranean Sea. The contours of a white object differ in it at a depth of 53 m. Extremely clear water in the ocean expanses of the planet was discovered in 1987 in the eastern part of the Guiana Basin in the thickness of the Atlantic at a depth of 4 km.
And the saltiest sea water is at a depth of 150 m in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast American state Louisiana. In this pit with an area of 24 km by 15 km, its salinity is approximately 10 times higher than the average salinity of sea water.
The highest gold content in sea water was recorded in the Baltic Sea. There is 3 times more noble metal here than in the waters North Sea, and 5 times - the Black Sea. The average gold content in seawater is 0.000004 g/t.
The largest model of part of the planet's aquatic environment was built in 1971 in Japan. It reproduces in detail the Inland Sea of Japan. The dimensions of the model are 230 m by 100 m. The model serves as a testing ground for the implementation of planned ocean development projects and various environmental measures.
In ancient times, the Baltic Sea was called the Amber Sea because of the abundance of amber in it.
Researchers of the Caspian Sea note that this sea had the largest number of names - about 70 names: Avar, Vostochnoe, Chirkan, Khvalynskoe and others, which reflected the history and geography of its coasts. The name of the Caspian Sea is associated with the name of the Caspian tribe, who lived on its shores in ancient times.
Interesting:
Poets, artists, novelists sang the ninth wave as the largest among the raging waves. But in reality there is no ninth shaft. It is easy to verify this by counting the number of intermediate waves between the two largest ones from the side of the ship or from the shore. The biggest wave can be any one. But where did the name “ninth wave” come from? It arose in ancient times from the mythological idea of nine as a sacred number.

How many oceans and seas are there on our planet?
According to the International Geographical Bureau, there are 4 oceans and 54 seas on Earth, which together form the World Ocean, which makes up two-thirds of the surface of the entire globe.
What color is the ocean?

And what color shades do people for whom the sea is a place of everyday work notice in sea waters?
Those who have connected their lives with the sea see and notice the most extraordinary subtle shades in the sea and ocean waters surrounding them. After all, the sea changes with the time of day, its color depends on the seasons and weather factors. When the character of the sea changes, its color also changes. And these changes cannot be ignored.
Some of the most vivid impressions include memories of a holiday at sea. What is it about this beautiful sea element that we remember? The gentle rays of the southern sun? The soft velvet of coastal sand? The rustling whisper of the waves or the warm breath of the salty wind?..
Perhaps, among all these soul-intoxicating memorable moments, the most powerful is the color of the sea. This fantastic blue, delighting our admiring gaze, remains in our memory as an aquamarine delight, a turquoise fairy tale or an azure legend. And all the picturesque shades of the sea merge into one wonderful sea color, with which any memory of the sea is associated.
If you try to answer the question, which sea is the bluest, it is unlikely that you will come to one single true answer. After all, each sea has its own unique color from the blue range with unique shades of turquoise, aquamarine or emerald.

All beach lovers know that there are not many paradise and amazing places in the world that are ideal for complete passive relaxation. The main requirements of such tourists are the cleanest warm sea, soft sun and white beaches. Just a couple of years ago, tourists beach holiday We went to Turkey and Thailand. Today, the boundaries and opportunities for true beach lovers have expanded. Tours to the Caribbean countries are popular in autumn and winter, as natural conditions are unique in these places. One of the most visited countries has become Dominican Republic .
Why the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is a dream country. Tall palm trees, turquoise Caribbean sea, white sandy beaches, mild tropical climate - all this creates amazing conditions for complete relaxation.
There are no suitable words to describe the beauty and grandeur of the Caribbean Sea. Most tourists visit this country just to see this divine sea with their own eyes. Its bright turquoise color is simply stunning. Soft waves and very warm water– the sea envelops you with its warmth. This sea will forever remain in your memory. Since the Dominican Republic is not yet the most popular tourist destination, the sea here remains very clean, and the landscapes amaze with their pristine nature. Along the coast you can still find quiet places, where you can retire and be alone with nature. Many beaches are equipped with sun loungers.
Service in the Dominican Republic is located at high level. There are many hotels to choose from. From food you can choose dishes national cuisine, which includes various meat dishes, or order those delicacies that you are used to at home. Dominicans are very friendly, always ready to solve any problem.
As for entertainment, you can try any kind sea trips, fishing, or play beach volleyball. Among the attractions, you can choose excursions to museums or a fort named after Columbus. A lot is connected with the name of this traveler, since it was on these lands that he once landed.
As soon as you step onto Cancun Beach, the bright turquoise ocean opens up to your eyes. Therefore, I would like to separately describe how beautiful the Caribbean Sea is in Cancun. It seems to me that only Nana Maldives sea water can be such a bright color. You stand on the shore and cannot believe that this is possible in nature!

The color of the water of the Caribbean Sea captivates everyone! And after that, I think people become more picky about water if they fly to, for example, Bali on their next trip. The sand, the entry into the sea, the depth, purity and color of the water are all at the highest level.
Waves
The waves in Cancun on the Caribbean coast are not small, but the beauty that a person sees in front of him outshines these waves and you jump joyfully with happiness. You won't be able to swim, but jumping in the waves near the shore is also fun. Perhaps this is a seasonal phenomenon.

Algae on Cancun Beach
Seaweed
There is algae almost all over the beach, which they do not have time to quickly remove. At first it was embarrassing and not very pleasant, but on the second day you accept it and don’t pay attention anymore. At our Oasis Cancun hotel, the perimeter of the beach is perfectly clean, the cleaners work tirelessly. In the mornings, algae is collected on a tractor.
Purity
Or maybe the contingent of people coming to Mexico is somewhat different, so in Cancun you won’t see bags, bottles, chips packages floating and rotting in the water, or other dirt; this is not the case here. Our impressions of this resort are described in detail in the article
