Why do marine forces wear white?

Is there any reason for it, or is it simply a convention?

Update:

Sorry, I mean the Navy, if that helps.

    Marine forces?

    Do you mean the Navy?

    The Navy wears white uniforms, it is a tradition and style. The Marines don't wear white.

    Dress Whites. Summer dress uniform. They are so much more comfortable than Dress Blues.
