GREAT OUTDOORS
Glowin’ Coastal
Nature’s Light Show in the Gulf
story by Joey Lee
It’s a moonless night, you’re walking on a secluded part of the beach, you drag your toes through the surf and you see a blueish-green glow following your foot through the water! Are you trapped in a nightmare? Is this nuclear waste that’s finally made its way here from Chernobyl? Not at all. It’s one of the coolest phenomena I’ve experienced: bioluminescence, a light produced by living organisms.
