Well I want to know more research on this.
Also does algal bloom have anything to do with global warming? Does global wamring have to do with the clarity of the water? does the fact that the caribbean is near the equater play any role in this?

Waters in the Caribbean are not very fertile. The more northerly waters are loaded with life.
I think coral reefs, which only grown in tropical climates, have something to do with the clarity of the water as they serve as habitat for organisms that actively filter the water for nutrients, including micro-organisms like algae. If you believe Al Gore, increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere result in decreased ocean pH, which is detrmimental to coral reef survival, which may affect water clarity. I don't know much about the algal blooms.
Not so sure.. but I think the climate along with the level of pollution are factors need to consider.
