What causes the Ocean Water to look Green?

According to my research:

In water, absorption is strong in the red and weak in the blue, thus red light is absorbed quickly in the ocean leaving blue. Almost all sunlight that enters the ocean is absorbed, except very close to the coast. The red, yellow and green wavelengths of sunlight are absorbed by water molecules in the ocean.

I hope this simple post of mine give you enough information to understand why the ocean looks green. And that's my entry tonight for #thursdaygreen #colorchallenge of @kalemandra.
