Off the coast of the U.S. city of Newport beach, California, at night was seen a flock of dolphins under water, emitting blue and green lights. Glittering silhouettes of sea animals emerged in the dark water, disappearing, then appearing again in unexpected places. Operator Patrick Coyne has shared a unique video on his page in Facebook.
It was an amazing sight due to the bioluminescence, when the chemical reaction of living organisms produces a glow effect in the dark.
According to AccuWeather, this phenomenon is rarely observed in terrestrial creatures, but in the depths of the ocean, bioluminescent organisms are much more.
Most of the glowing sea animals emit blue or green light that are easiest to discern in the darkness of the ocean at great depths. Many underwater inhabitants do not perceive yellow, red and purple.
Glow dolphins contribute to algae bioluminescent, they glow in response to environmental changes, indicating a decrease in the content of salt in the water.
National oceanic and atmospheric administration (NOAA) reports that 80% of all species inhabiting the ocean at depths of 200 to 1000 meters are bioluminescent.
Glowing algae on the surface of the water sometimes covers large areas. There are so-called "milk of the sea", which can be seen from satellites in space.
The phenomenon of bioluminescence has happened seen in the area of Newport beach. As previously reported, on the coast of southern California there were "neon" waves.

Last night was truly one of the most magical nights of my life. Capt. Ryan Lawler of Newport Coastal Adventure invited me along to capture rare video of Dolphins swimming in bioluminescence. The first time I saw this was actually filmed a few months back while watching a Night on Earth documentary on Netflix. The second I saw that footage it became a dream of mine to one day capture something similar and that's exactly what we did. This was by far the most challenging video I've shot for a number of reason. For starters, the bioluminescence has sweet spots to where it shows up and then fades away so while on the water it's impossible to just find it. Not only that but actually finding any type of animal in pitch black is just so ridiculously hard. Conditions have to be absolutely perfect for the bioluminescence to show up and to have an animal swim through it so we can film it. On top of all that just trying to nail the focus at such a wide aperture with something moving in the water was a nightmare. We were out for a few hours and on our final stretch back we finally had 2 Dolphins pop up to start the incredible glowing show. A few minutes later and we were greeted by a few more which was incredible. I'm honestly still processing this all and I can't thank @newportcoastaladventure enough for having me out because without them none of this would be possible. Be sure to check our their edit from last night as well! I hope you all enjoy this video.
