Let’s ✨glow! ✨ Bioluminescence in the ocean is a result of specialized light-emitting organisms like dinoflagellates. Their presence is influenced by environmental factors like water temperature and nutrient supply. 🌊 Let’s keep our oceans healthy so future generations can enjoy this gorgeous site for years to come!

Yes, San Diego. Bioluminescence is back! 🌊 ✨ This video of agitated dinoflagellates (the microscopic cells behind the marine magic) in action was captured at Scripps Pier earlier this week. You might be able to still sneak a peek if you head to a dark beach at least two hours after sunset, though visibility is not guaranteed. The Latz Lab at Scripps Oceanography studies this stunning natural light show, so if you're curious about the phenomenon, check out the link below to learn more about biol

Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon in which tiny organisms called dinoflagellates light up like sparklers when disturbed or agitated, as they are by waves and currents. From afar, bioluminescent activity can look like a blue, glowing wave rolling over the surface of a bay or ocean. Up close, it seems as if stars are shining in the water, and if you’re lucky enough to swim through it, the effect is pure magic. The phenomenon happens all over the world, from Maldives to Jamaica ✨ Share this w
