My Earth Romance - Glowing Blue Waves Explained

Sparkling Sands   Photograph by Russ Taylor Sand along a beach in the Florida Everglades glows with a soft blue light emitted by countless microscopic phytoplankton washed ashore. Similar phytoplankton are found in lakes, but they aren't bioluminescent. "That's one of the enigmas about bioluminescence: Why has it never evolved in fresh water?" Hastings said.

Landing Strip Photograph courtesy James R. Evans, U.S. Navy A sailor stands watch on the back of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson as bioluminescent microorganisms illuminate the surrounding water. The glowing blue water is easily visible from the air—something pilots use to their advantage, Harvard's Hastings said.

My Earth Romance - Glowing Blue Waves Explained

From Sea to Shining Sea Photograph from Travelart/Alamy Bioluminescent phytoplankton glitter on the incoming tide along an island beach in the Maldives. Dinoflagellates—the subjects of the recent study—are single-celled organisms, "but some of them are big enough that you can actually see them with the naked eye," Rush University's DeCoursey said.

My Earth Romance - Glowing Blue Waves Explained

Luminous Tendrils Photograph by Adam Plezer, Your Shot Glowing phytoplankton create clusters and filaments of light as they wash ashore in an undated photograph taken from the Lakshadweep Islands off India. Harvard's Hastings, who has spent his life studying marine bioluminescence, encourages people to go out to a beach at night to witness the living light show for themselves. Pictures, he says, can't truly capture the experience.

My Earth Romance - Glowing Blue Waves Explained

Red (and Blue) Tide Photograph by Mike Blake, Reuters Bioluminescent phytoplankton give the incoming surf an electric blue glow along a beach in Leucadia, California, in September 2011. Some dinoflagellates can produce toxins that are harmful to fish, humans, and other creatures. Scientists think bioluminescence may also be a form of defense for the life-forms.

My Earth Romance - Glowing Blue Waves Explained

Lights on the Water Photograph by Mike Blake, Reuters Bioluminescent phytoplankton light up rolling surf during a so-called red tide event along the coast of Leucadia, California, in September 2011. Red tides—often rusty-hued in daylight—can occur all over the world and are caused by large-scale algae blooms.

My Earth Romance - Glowing Blue Waves Explained

Sea of Stars Photograph by Doug Perrine, Alamy Pinpricks of light on the shore seem to mirror stars above in an undated picture taken on Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives. The biological light, or bioluminescence, in the waves is the product of marine microbes called phytoplankton—and now scientists think they know how some of these life-forms create their brilliant blue glow. Various species of phytoplankton are known to bioluminesce, and their lights can be seen in oceans all around the world, said marine biologist and bioluminescence expert Woodland Hastings of Harvard University. (Also see "Glowing Sea Beasts: Photos Shed Light on Bioluminescence.") "I've been across the Atlantic and Pacific, and I've never seen a spot that wasn't bioluminescent or a night that [bioluminescence] couldn't be seen," Hastings said. The most common type of marine bioluminescence is generated by phytoplankton known as dinoflagellates. A recent study co-authored by Hastings has for the first time identified a special channel in the dinoflagellate cell membrane that responds to electrical signals—offering a potential mechanism for how the algae create their unique illumination. —Ker Than Published March 19, 2012 source

Let it glow, anything glows is beautiful? Oh I'm so mesmerized by these scenes, truly wonderful shots...
