Demystify Magic Fluorescent Bay

Magic bay
Puerto Rico has a magic bay, where the water appears calm and warm and elsewhere in the same day. But at night, once when the ship into the Gulf, the ship around on the blue light as bright as light

Naughty stamp your feet, the fish flee in the sea, but also with a blue light, like scattered meteor. Himself into the sea when their surroundings are immediately surrounded by blue, as if their long angel wings!

 

Bioluminescence Bay is only 5
Hand out water, large drops of water drops down the left arm, with fluorescence, as many beautiful pearls rolling. Spray, bubble, fluorescent, which is a kind of magical place?

 

The bay is known as bioluminescence Bay. Only five places around the world, three in Puerto Rico, two in Australia, the most famous is this Vieque island of Puerto Rico.

 

Fluorescent sea tour
Fluorescent sea tour at 21:00 to 23:00, by boat searchlight lighting, we see those who parked in the bay of the ship hull and propeller on the stern were covered with a thick layer of silver, that is the sea accumulation of light-emitting plankton formed over many years.

Dream-like scenario
Some people jumped out of the water to go, supine on the water, hands and feet gently swing, looked like bursting out with four limbs, green lotus, it is only natural really dream-like.

Luminous dinoflagellates
Bay light is called dinoflagellate in non-plant non-animal, single-cell microbes similar to bacteria. The bay water have about 720,000 such small things per gallon.

 

They are a small man, also tens of microns, presumably, is simply the naked eye can not see. However, when it is disturbed by the outside world when the release will be the same as the firefly bio-light, this light is flagellated algae release a defensive function, so that predator at arm's length.

 

Create conditions for biological fluorescence Bay
1. The shallow bays, a small inlet and ocean phase. This dinoflagellate almost flagellum can not only enter, the concentration of aggregation to a certain extent, be visible.

 

2. Should be to minimize the pollution of the Gulf, flagellated algae is very sensitive to pollution, keep the water clean is extremely important to its survival, but also to see the faint fluorescence, also called the shore to minimize light pollution also.

 

3. Surrounded by red mangroves, mangrove roots can release vitamin B12 and a variety of nutrients, algae produce flagella which are essential elements of light, while the roots of mangrove forests can play on the water purification of flagella is important to protect the algae God.

 

Natural wonders under threat
With economic development, the Gulf on both sides of increasingly serious environmental problems. Automobile exhaust, factory emissions, soil erosion, luminous pollution, are threatening this impressive natural wonders, actually threatens the people itself. Man and nature, nature and people, as the two ropes tied to a grasshopper, with life and death, of survival.

Anybody remember the name of the kid's book where the boy puts magic ointment on his back and grows wings?

I read it around 1975

Yes, I do! It was called "Black and Blue Magic" and I read it a good ten years ago for 'Battle of the Books'. Terrific stuff.
