Bioluminescence Acapulco Beach Mexico
Bioluminescence occurs widely among animals in the open sea, including fish, jellyfish, crustaceans, and even in various terrestrial invertebrates, like insects. Did you know that nearly 80% of deep-sea animals produce light in the blue and green spectrum? However, the most frequently encountered bioluminescent organisms are dinoflagellates present in the surface layers of the sea, and these were spotted on an Acapulco beach in Mexico for the first time in over 60-years.
