A stunning natural magic trick has surprised visitors at Arnala Beach near Mumbai. The ocean waves were seen glowing with a bright neon blue light late at night. Photos and videos of this magical sight are now going viral on social media leaving people completely amazed.
Experts explain that this rare phenomenon is caused by bioluminescence. Tiny living organisms called phytoplankton or dinoflagellates float in the sea water. When crashing waves splash waters or sea currents disturb these microscopic sea creature a natural chemical reaction happens inside their bodies. This reaction makes them release a glowing light to protect themselves from predators.
While the glowing blue sea looks like a dream scientists advise caution. Sometimes large groups of these organisms mean higher organic matter or changes in water quality. While watching the ocean turn blue from the shore is completely safe and breathtaking touching the water directly or going swimming late at night is not recommended. Local authorities are asking people to enjoy this spectacular sight responsibly without littering or disturbing the shoreline environment.
