Bioluminesence at Tindalls Beach

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

Kia ora neighbours, check out these cool photos of bioluminescence at Tindalls Beach from the weekend, courtesy of photographer Grant Birley (@chasing_horizonz_ on Instagram).

The algae behind the blue glow is known as Noctilucca scintillans, or 'sea sparkle'.

At night, the algae lets off an electric-blue glow as a result of its biological reaction to disturbance, as a means of protecting itself - similar to that of a squid squirting ink.
