Bioluminescence in Shem Creek

No, I haven’t seen any glowing fish in these parts either, but here’s a cool video from Edith Widder – co-founder and director of the Ocean Research and Conservation Association.

In it, we see deep-sea creatures glowing in the dark in all their spectacular glory.

Not all bioluminescent sea creatures are deep-sea though – she shows some dolphins swimming through the glowing water of the harbor’s surface, cool stuff!
