The so-called Sea of Stars is a phenomenon that leaves the waters of the sea with this brilliant blue effect, it is called bioluminescence, which happens from a chemical reaction of the phytoplankton bioluminescent phytoplanktons, microscopic marine creatures that generate light as a mechanism of survival. And they are visible in the waves closest to the beach’s sand.
The effect can be seen in several places around the world, here in this photo it’s on Vaadhoo, one of the Raa Atoll islands in the Maldives.
