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.
