- Chennai's East Coast Road beach blazed with the rare bioluminescent waves recently.
- Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon produced by certain marine organisms; primarily microscopic plankton called dinoflagellates.
- These tiny creatures emit light through a chemical reaction within their bodies when agitated by wave action or other disturbances in the water.
- The result is a display of blue-green light that appears to make the waves glow.
- Marine organisms use bioluminescence for various purposes, including defense against predators, attracting prey, and communication.
