What Is Bioluminescence?

Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon produced by microscopic organisms known as dinoflagellates. When the water is moved or disturbed, they release a natural blue-green light. As we travel through Anderson Lagoon, you’ll be able to see these tiny flashes glowing beneath and around the boat.
