The bioluminescence produced by plankton was seen on Southern California beaches.
Published 19 seconds agoA group in Newport Beach was treated to an aquatic festival of lights as they witnessed dolphins swimming through glowing blue waves.
Photographer Mark Girardeau captured the spectacle on the evening of Sept. 10. This light show is put on when phytoplankton called dinoflagellates are populous along the coast and create the natural phenomenon known as bioluminescence. The plankton make their magic when they receive ample sunlight and are residing in warm waters with high nitrate and phosphate levels, according to Jessica Roame, education and communications manager for Newport Landing and Davey’s Locker Whale Watching. The Deep Ocean Education Project classifies bioluminescence as common in marine ecosystems.
The duration and frequency of bioluminescence is difficult to predict. The blue light is distributed by the movement of the ocean’s waves and its inhabitants.
