Bioluminescence

The bioluminescence has again been prominent at a number of locations in Jervis Bay, an hour’s drive north of us and is proving popular once more with residents and particularly local photographers.

The blue tide, as it is known, is the production and emission of light by a living organism. It is a form of chemiluminescence, which occurs widely in marine vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as in some fungi, microorganisms including some bioluminescent bacteria, and terrestrial arthropods such as fireflies.
