You can see this exact same phenomenon in any ocean at night. Next time you're on a boat, watch the water as it sprays away from the hull at night.
You'll notice it glows faintly.
You may not see the luminescence at all unless...
...You turn off all the lights of the boat and it's pitch black all around no moon, no city lights nearby.
We were in such a motorized boat once, in the midnight. We had to turn off all the lights in the boat in the island to island journey to escape
detection(it was illegal to travel at night in that island and I had to report for work in the morning).
Anyway, it was the most spectacular display of nature I ever saw in my life! The water around the boat glo'wed florescent green. The boat's wake was
the most brilliant. When you look above you, you get equally treated with the brilliant display of the Milky Way Galaxy's billions of stars...
...With a bit of imagination it almost felt like going on a journey across the galaxy in a starship!
It's a whole different world far far away from cities and civilization!!
