Bioluminescent Bay Fajardo

Bioluminescent Bay Fajardo

A bioluminescent bay is the result of a delicate ecosystem. Bioluminescent bays only flourish when tiny cells called dinoflagellates (bahamense Pyrodinium) thrive in a protected environment. When shaken, the organisms release energy as light. In other words, they glow, emitting a neon green ethereal aura. And the same goes with everything they touch: fish, hands, rowing boats, even raindrops.

Bioluminescence exists worldwide, but there are only a few bioluminescent bays on our planet ... and one of them is in Fajardo *!
