Their studies show that the bay is one of the best places to see these microscopic organisms, called dinoflagellates or pryodinium bahamene, because of two reasons.

These microscopic organisms live and create this natural ocean phenomenon, know as bio-luminescence. Jamaica’s Luminous Lagoon is one of many places around the globe that experience this type of event regularly. Here we break down some actual science, information and reasoning behind it, to help you better understand this unusual event.įrom information given by scientists from the John Hopkins University, the eerie glow comes from small micro-organisms that emit a flash of light when disturbed.
We hear a lot of questions as you might expect about how the Luminous Lagoon at Glistening Waters glows and what exactly causes this effect. What makes the Luminous Lagoon glow? How does this phenomenon happen? What exactly causes the light that I see? How is this even possible? How long has this been occurring for? What is the source of it? Is this rare to see?
