Continuing with the phenomenon of the bioluminiscence, the effect of waves that shine with blue light is a completely natural phenomenon and of indescribable beauty: a greenish brilliance of blue light interrupts the dark of the sea with each rompiente. They are in fact million bioluminescent microscopic organisms.

The bioluminiscence is the capacity to produce light of certain alive organisms. The phenomenon of the shining waves happened in a beach near Carlsbad, in California, during the red tide of year 2005. The effect of light on the waves is caused by thousands of million dinoflagelados microscopic organisms, (Lingulodinium polyedrum) that produce a bioluminescent reaction when they are disturbed.

Although the phenomenon happens in seas worldwide, is more common that in some points of the planet they happen most frequently. When meeting certain conditions, the dinoflagelados organisms get to be so numerous that the water takes a reddish color that gives name to the well-known “red tide” and by the nights, the effect of seas with shining waters.
