The strongest bioluminescence I've experienced is in Alamitos bay in the Long Beach Naples area. Your entire body would glow like an arua. Bubbles underwater were beyond trippy. Also, ask an old Nam navy vet about the ship wakes glowing in the South China sea. Sometimes it was able to be seen for miles. Before it got too salty the California Salton Sea was also spectacular.
There was a Cambridge research group that tried to insert firefly and Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence genes in trees and other plants. They said that IF it had worked (they just got algae to glow), future cityscapes could use glowing trees (which would get the energy they needed from the sun, atmosphere and soil) as street lamps.

I saw it I think four years ago at a beach at Wangerooge, a german island. It was the most wonderful thing I've ever seen, such a brilliant experience...unbeliveable. Thank you for filming this, it's so difficult to explain because nobody can imagine it who never has seen it before.
It's amazing how many americans here are saying how much they love PR's bioluminiscent bay ...makes me feel proud ..and also deeply ashamed haha because I've lived here my whole life and I have never seen it! Totally have to do that this summer
it was awesome i did that at mosquito bay. coolest thing in my whole life. it even tops hot air ballooning and being feet away from the hot lava in hawaii. hopefully i can do it again befor i die
I'm in British Columbia, Canada right now. I was visiting out cottage on gambier island. there is a marina there, with lots of algae on the docks. it makes this bioluminescence glow green instead. there is a dock there, about 10-20 feet. imagine swimming in that. you know when your swimming and all the little bubbles are white when you move around? imagine them glowing green. it was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. seriously cool.
I was in Nanaimo, B.C. on the weekend and swimming in the bio luminescence was mindblowing, the most incredible thing I've ever seen. At night, it's like creating stars in the water with your fingertips
I also saw something similar when I was on a ship in the caribbean, on stern watch at night the churn from the prop was a stream of glowing bluish green light, it was really quite amazing I had never seen anything like it. Unfortunately it translates horribly to pictures and video.
This is a fantastic image, thank you :D I saw this happen at Santa Monica Beach, CA when I was 19... It was crazy I though I was having a flashback lol When we walked along the shore our footsteps glowed blue for a few seconds, it was awesome. Also there were these fish that appeared to be walking, I believe they are called grunyon, they are attracted to the algea just as the bioluminescent plankton are :D Most people dont note it, but this phenomenon happens along with red tide... Again thanks!
im confused...whats all the hullaballoo about? something bioluminescent stuff in the water when disturbed!!!?? damn... nature never ceases to amaze me...
dude i love the bioluminesent bay!!!!!!!! it rocks!! for those of u that dont no it is a bay with micro organisms that light up when u touch them, the fish is swimming, it is the best, i went there in puerto rico, but for me it lite up green, i got to go swimming in it too, i was green! it was cool
So... what is it exactly that I'm looking at here? What kind of creature(s)? You might want to make mention of that in your video description, since the video itself is fairly unclear.
It looks like a bioluminescent algae bloom. There's a species that emits light when disturbed. Blooms like this near beaches are especially spectacular as the waves churn them up.

Its most probably a bioluminescent dinoflagellate or other planktonic animal. One main stimuli of their bioluminescent capabilities is water movement
