I've never seen that before, that would look so cool at night, especially if the whole shore line was glowing blue. Thanks for sharing

Those pictures are wonderful.
Imagine if all of the oceans were like that on a dif. planet

I saw this phenomena with my own eyes in Fingal Bay, NSW. The entire beach (which curves around to form a bay and is a very long beach) was fluorescing blue and green for about an hour one night - its an amazing sight to behold.

Wow. That is mesmerizing and stunning. Great presence of mind to do the shot with the sand and pebbles. Nature is awesome and we are too often not her worthy stewards. S&F for bringing this to us.

Iv'e seen this phenomenon quite a few times and while it is quite spectacular I'm afraid it doesn't look quite like the photos in real life.
The camera is picking up a large amount of UV light and thats why it looks so bright, it's much more of a subdued eerie glow with the naked eye

Thats pretty awesome. It reminds me of this show I was watching, i believe on Discovery. It is called " I shouldn't be alive" or something like that. In one episode it featured a duo of scuba divers who got lost at sea and had to pick a direction and swim. I believe this took place in australia if my memory serves me correctly, and as they neared the coast a bioluminescent organism was reacting to their movement in the water, glowing white when agitated. I thought this was interesting then and even so in these pictures now. Great find OP.

This was also in a fictional book by Jeffery Deaver whereby a pilot loses the lights on the cockpit display and navigates back to land or something by noticing the organisms in the water... it's how he is able to tell where the water is, which was the first time I ever heard of these organisms.

This happens at the beach near my house, but nowhere near as much in the pictures. You can squash the blue stuff and spread it on your skin!

This story was also told by Tom Hank's character in the movie Apollo 13.

I have encountered this a few times here in the Netherlands while taking a leak overboard..

Only at here it is green, not blue !

I don’t know what tinypic is.

All I do is save pic to my comp, then upload to ATS media
Then open the pic in there I then right click on the pick and choose property’s, it will have the size Dimensions: 964 x 636 for example.

I then copy embed code, looks like this

Then I guestamate how much to cut it down by. In this case I made it 664 x 336
I take off the img at the beginning and the end, add in =664x336.

no spaces though, i only put spaces in to show you how it looks.

Ah yes, the television show mentioned a pilot who discovered it, but I hadnt really paid much attention. Thanks for the info
