Global warming is causing stress on planktons as their natural habitat is damaged by industrial pollutants from frack wells and the incandescent lightbulbs cause the coal plants to burn hotter, which causes cows to eat Monsato enhineered heat resistant flatulant corn, which causes Global warming in the first place. It’s a doozy!
I have been out many times it is amazing your wake comes alive
Back in the '30s, my dad was in the merchant marine and had tons of weird tales.
He said that one night, in the Indian Ocean, the lookout reported "strange lights in the water". There, across what seemed like miles of open ocean, there were these light rays, spinning like spokes of a wheel, strobing across the ocean, with his ship being at the rim.
They figured it was that plankton reacting to the throb of the engines. Years later I was reading about USOs and the claim was made that those lights were from an alien craft.
I first discovered this phenomenon as an ordinary seaman on an oil tanker going from Richmond, California to Portland, Oregon. I stood watch on the bridge at night and as the bow of the ship cut through the water, the water would light up. I thought it was amazing and really beautiful.
It was probably the fall of 1970, we were by the surf in Huntington Beach with friends when this happened. At the same time a rocket was launched from Vandenberg. It was blazingly awesome.
Actually, these little glowing plankton are the intergalactic Borg’s Earth Watchers getting ready to pick up their advence sabotage agent Obama for his return trip to the Borg invasion fleet’s Uranus HQ.
I used to love going into the surf at night on OBX to see this, it really is sort of magical, straight out of Disney.
Then, I came to understand just how very stupid it is to go into the ocean in even low light, let alone after dark, due to greatly increased risk of shark attack.
On top of that, sharks have been shown to use the bioluminescence for locating prey.
So, it was fun, but I won’t be doing that again.
That red tide on the shore can make it stink to high heaven.
That’s AWESOME.....
