Incredible Places Where The Ocean Glows

Location - Las Croabas Beach, Fajardo, Puerto Rico - There are in all three bioluminescent lagoons that look divine during dark nights.
- This unique bay contains up to 720,000 single-celled bioluminescent dinoflagellates per gallon of water. These half-plant, half-animal organisms emit a flash of bluish light when agitated at night.
- Unique light is an ordinary chemical response forced by tiny creatures which typically respond by giving off the light collected in the daytime. As a result, the best possible view of bio-luminescence comes after a sunny day.

Here the bioluminescence is not because of phytoplankton, but because of a creature called the firefly squid. Every year from March to June, the bay becomes inundated with millions of these three-inch squid, which come up from the depths of the ocean to breed. As they fill the waters and beaches, both fishermen and tourist operations spring into action.

- Bizarre bioluminescence in this Southern Californian city, too, is caused when millions of phytoplankton form a group of algae so big they discolour the nearby water.
- Surfers see a "red tide" every few years, when these algal blooms give the sea a reddish tint by day and a bright blue phosphorescent glow by night.
- When the right combination of water temperature, wind, darkness of the sky and other factors come together, surfers and swimmers can glide through the water with a glow illuminating their way.
- The best time to visit California's coast to view the red tide is in the summer when the weather is warm. California's red tide typically occurs between April and August.

- During warm summer months, when the plankton is right, the water glows as both boaters and fish move through the water.
- According to the VisitFlorida tourism website, the effect makes "fish look like blue comets." "> Location- Santa Rosa Island in the Gulf of Mexico - During warm summer months, when the plankton is right, the water glows as both boaters and fish move through the water.
