We've been watching Bonaire WebCams for about 2 years now. Seems like the rocks and coral pieces in the 'north' view have gotten much more red than when we first started viewing. Is there a plankton issue or a new algae present? Or, is it just a matter of the camera lens, angle, filters, direction of the ambient light, etc? Also, we never remember seeing such redness when we stayed on the island a couple of years ago. Thanks.

Hi Howard, Welcome to BT! Jake changed out the cam in January. Here is a link to his answer to your question. Jake's answer

Thank you Freddie, Kris and Jake (in his archived answer) for the explanation. Yes, the red rocks are striking, though unnatural. Likewise the yellow 'flares' often seen on the 'south' view.

Actually the new camera just has a bit of a red shift. First of that particular model camera that's exhibited that much red. The south beach cam is a bit bleached out from staring at the sun for a long time. The cameras get replaced every so often as they get sunburned.
