WHAT IS BIOLUMINESCENCE?

Bioluminescence is one of nature’s most impressive and unique phenomenon in the region. It is light emitted by certain organisms which transform chemical energy into light energy.

It is observed in insects and fungi, but it can also be found in bodies of water, generally in aquatic ecosystems.

In all its forms, this phenomenon plays a significant role in marine environments.

Bioluminescent bacteria are part of the food chain and many organisms depend on them for survival.

The dates for bioluminescence are established with respect to the lunar season, because the greater the darkness, the greater the visibility.
