Bioluminescence

[Saredo]

If you don’t know what it means : « Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism as the result of a chemical reaction during which chemical energy is converted to light energy »

Bioluminescent waves (caused by bioluminescent dinoflagellates/algae). It’s really beautiful.

The fact that some living organisms can produce light is fascinating.

The largest bioluminescence phenomena ever recorded (16,000 km2) was off the coast of our country in 1995; the effect is named milky seas.

Called mareel, the milky sea is caused by bioluminescent bacteria, billions of trillions of them, that live throughout the water column from the surface to the sea floor.

How long has that existed? Goddam the PL coast is blessed. We really are a wasteful ppl.

Why couldn't we be a family that hates each other but still gets shit done?

We could build artificial island resorts near that and show ppl the scenes at night.

I guess the phenomena lasts for hours and it is majestic as described by Captains of the ship's who encounter it. They describe it as a blanket of glowing snow in the middle of the Ocean. Hollywood stuff.

Lol did you say artificial islands and tourism? bro to be blunt; we as a nation and as people are the scum of the planet, we are the definition of FAILURE in the dictionary. We can never take advantage of such interesting things in our waters.

Wow....imagine how cool it would be to be sailing in such waters in the middle of the night? Stunning.

All these blessings, yet old men still insist on arguing who's shanty town looks better

Imagine restaurants, resorts and spas near those luminous seas?
