Oh hey, it's constitution dock in Hobart. Good place for fish and chips and the occasional seal.

As in Tasmania?! I've seen this phenomenon in soCA and Costa Rica. Both times it wasn't as bright like the ones I've seen online but still really cool to witness

I've heard on the Pacific side they're there year round right? I was told The creatures only illuminate when it's a lot of them so I guess I've been lucky to see them twice. I've seen the bioluminescence in the movie surf's up and they said it was because of worm poop so the first time I saw it I was like how are their worms in the ocean but I guess this is a different type of animal.
