Picture this: it’s warm, a little breezy, and you are strolling through some desolate beach at night. The sound of the flowing water is pleasant. The waves softly reach the shore, and suddenly, you notice something interesting. When you finally immerse your feet, a glittering blue and green wave sends across the ocean. Small animals glitter in the dark water through bioluminescence, turning night surf into a fairy tale. This spectacle is called bioluminescence – a natural magic performed at the ocean’s bottom by special organisms.
