Yes, San Diego. Bioluminescence is back! 🌊 ✨ This video of agitated dinoflagellates (the microscopic cells behind the marine magic) in action was captured at Scripps Pier earlier this week. You might be able to still sneak a peek if you head to a dark beach at least two hours after sunset, though visibility is not guaranteed. The Latz Lab at Scripps Oceanography studies this stunning natural light show, so if you're curious about the phenomenon, check out the link below to learn more about biol

These tiny marine “fire plants” are members of the plankton family and they are quite sensitive to movement of any sort. Including swimming dolphins.  ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ #Bioluminescence #Dolphins #MarineLife #SeaLife | Grays Harbor Historical Seaport | Facebook
