- Sometimes nature puts on a very extravagant display of magical beauty in places that are already among the most beautiful in the world.
- With the help of tiny organisms, and there are more than one species, the water near the coast can glow blue, green, or red every time it is disturbed.
- This happens mostly in the tropics, where warm water rich in nutrients encourages the growth of these tiny algae, but it also happens in colder waters, such as Jersey Island in the UK or San Juan Island in Washington State.
