Bioluminescent algae blooms are naturally occurring phenomena. But global warming is seen by scientists as a prime culprit behind their growth in recent years, forcing worldwide waters to glow anew.
This "sea light" is an eerie, beautiful sight, but also a grave threat to other sea life. Brilliant masses of these tiny creatures consume toxic algae from runoffs and other pollution, releasing poisonous ammonia and other gases. They also use large amounts of oxygen, depleting surrounding waters. Scientists don’t expect these growths will subside.
