Dear Coral-listers,
I am currently researching the occurrences of so called 'Green Water
Events' in the Caribbean after witnessing such an event in Anguilla,
July 2010. This event lasted for two-three days, during which time the
water turned a lime-green colour around the western end of the island,
leading to almost zero visibility. The cause and/or source of this event
remains unclear and has yet to re-occur in the area. I do however
remember a post on coral during 2009 (if my memory serves me correct)
when a similar sounding event was reported in the Virgin Islands. I
would be very interested if the person who posted this thread would
email me more specific details and also let me know if they have
witnessed a re-occurrence of the event. Similarly, has anyone else seen
this phenomenon in the Caribbean? Is anyone aware of any documentation
detailing occurrences and possible causes. I would be most grateful if
anyone that has information relating to this, either now or in the
future, would get in touch with me directly.
All the best,
S.Wynne
