Glowing Blue Waves, Maldives
Maldives is a great tourist spot in the world and is a wonderful place to enjoy your honeymoon. Some visitors get to see the beautiful glowing blue waves in the seashores of Maldives islands. Scientists have discovered that these amazing blue waves are because of bioluminescent plankton in the warm shores. Though, the glow in the night are soothing to the eye, they are actually a defense mechanism of the plankton. They tend to glow when stressed.
These microorganisms produce the bioluminescence using a chemical called as luciferin. These organisms are known as dinoflagellates which are unique in the way they emit light. They can produce the light on their own. They do not need any external aid such as a particular food or another creature. Other seashores such as San Diego, Vietnam, Jamaica, Australia and Thailand have reported the sightings of these magical blue light emitting organisms.
