Its merely sunlight reflecting off the Moon, onto the Oceans.

Since the moon is made of cheese*, the glow is yellowish-orange.

* as proven by Wallace and Grommit

Re bioluminescence:

I saw something like that in Frenchman's Bay, Maine, near Bar Harbor. At night, on the way back from Mt. Desert to the mainland in a 18 foot outboard, the bow waves were luminescent. Very cool.

Well, if Jules Verne was writing about the phenomenon they can't blame Bush or global warming.

Reminds me of a riddle: What's the difference between Richard Simmons and the Bermuda Triangle?

Same thing is speculated to have caused a host to appear around the sun a couple years back.

"Bah Hahbah" sounds like something you do in Brooklyn when you're 13.

That area off the coast of Oman is not that far where my wife and I camped out Christmas Eve 1993 on White Beach in Oman between Quirat and Sur.

There were tiny luminescent jellyfish type "things" (about 3 mm up to a bit less than 1 cm in size) all over the water, and the waves were bright with the greenish glow (much like a glo stick).

Walking in the surf in bare feet left a coating of these things on top of our feet and toes. It was really neat. We will never forget it. They lasted up to about ten minutes after coming out of the water.
