Bioluminescence, the phenomenon responsible for the shimmer in the water, occurs when plankton in the sea flash and emit light when disturbed – creating an eerie yet otherworldly spectacle in which single-cell organisms emit luminous lights when disturbed, creating a stunning illumination in which glow worms have been called “luminous jellyfish” or sea sparkles; typically found in warmer waters but recently appearing around Australia’s coastal areas too – experts speculate this may be caused by mass bloom of specific dinoflagellates that change depending on their environment – unlike normal phytoplankton which emit light upon disturbance emit light when disturbed and emit light when disturbed – creating this spectacular glow effect is created when disturbed single-celled organisms emit lights when disturbed emit light upon disturbance, creating this otherworldly display that some have described as otherworldly!

Scientists are studying this kind of glowing phytoplankton, known as Noctiluca scintillans, which has appeared along the shoreline of Jervis Bay. Scientists don’t yet understand why it has concentrated itself so strongly – perhaps its appearance there resembles natural neon signs which show different colors depending on which chemicals make up its materials?

Humans have long taken advantage of the glowing properties of plants and animals to their benefit. Glowing fungi were once employed by indigenous tribes to guide them through dense jungle terrain while fireflies provided early safety lamps for miners. Today, bioluminescence technology is being researched as part of green energy applications; researchers hope that algae such as Aliivibrio fischeri could one day replace traditional street lighting as part of this greener technology initiative.

Staying at Cable Beach Club Resort and Spa makes arranging a camel train ride an easy process. Just meet up with one of the guides north of the rocks on Cable Beach, who’ll lead you through sand dunes until reaching the beach itself, where blue camels sit near rocky outcrops for your scenic journey.
