The Caribbean Sea

The Caribbean Sea is a large, tropical body of water located in the Atlantic Ocean, bordered by Central and South America to the south and east, and the Caribbean islands to the north and west. It covers roughly 1.1 million square miles and is known for its warm, clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and diverse marine life. The sea plays a vital role in regional climate regulation, supports tourism, fishing, and shipping industries, and is rich in cultural history due to the many civilizations that have historically inhabited its surrounding nations and islands.
