This is Why Waves Glow | Bioluminescence | Wild to Know

Want to know more wild facts? Check out our Wild to Know series: • Wild to Know
Bioluminescence is surely one of the natural world’s most beautiful phenomena. ✨ In California’s Monterey Bay, the waves can be seen glowing a mysterious blue - a display that was even more stunning this year than most. 🌊 ↠Subscribe: kzread.info...
But what causes the ocean to light up? And can a fish out of water really produce its own glow? In the first of our episodes on bioluminescence, we explore the tiny marine organisms behind this unique spectacle.
Stay tuned as we visit more natural light shows in the ocean and on land - be the first to know about new videos when you subscribe and hit the alert button!

    Unfortunately, climate change is affecting bioluminescent creatures in the ocean, but not how you might think. It actually seems to be making them more common. Warming waters have caused more algae blooms, contributing to the bioluminescent bacteria and such mentioned in the video. And those aren’t even the only bioluminescent ocean dwellers that have been affected. Pyrosomes (tube shaped colonies of tunicates that can grow to be the size of a whale and can glow blue, white, or pinkish-red) have become far more common to find in the last five years. They used to be rare to find in colder areas. But pyrosomes have been found in new areas in the last couple years, like off the coast of the pacific northwest US, Alaska, and western Canada, despite previously only being found in tropical and temperate waters. This has actually had a pretty big impact on fishermen. There are so many of them in the PNW that some fishermen have reported pulling up nets half filled with colonies of pyrosomes instead of fish. It may also be affecting the balance and population of plankton in those areas, since plankton are their primary food source.

    Good question! 🤔 According to Japanese researchers, human bioluminescence in visible light exists - it’s just too dim for our weak eyes to pick up on. The team made this odd discovery using super-sensitive cameras to monitor five healthy male volunteers for 20 minutes every 3 hours inside a light-tight room for three days straight. They found that participants 'glowed' throughout the day, with the brightest spots appearing around the forehead, neck, cheeks in the late afternoon. The dimmest bioluminescence was recorded late at night. Josh Hrala covered the research in an SCIENCE ALERT article.
