facebook status - Mysterious Bluish Glow in the Ocean

The blue sparking light emanating from the sea surface is known as bioluminescence.  The biological light, or bioluminescence, in the waves is the product of marine microbes called phytoplankton and the most common type of marine bioluminescence generated by phytoplankton is known as dinoflagellates.

 Dinoflagellates can use bioluminescence as a defense mechanism. They can startle their predators by their flashing light or they can ward off potential predators.

Bright bluish lights in the sea look eerie and yet amazing at the same time.
