"ONE OF THE MOST MAGICAL EXPERIENCES ON EARTH"

What's up guys! Today I am going to tell you about a place that you have seen in films. It is the Mosquito Bay. It is the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world!

Many aquatic habitats across the planet are extremely bioluminescent, from Japan to Mexico. On the Caribbean island of Vieques, on the coast of Puerto Rico, one of the most popular, Mosquito Bay is situated. Pyrodinium bahamense, a dinoflagelle, glows in the greenish-blue when irritated, resides in this tiny body of water.

Book a stern kayak trip is the perfect way to appreciate the charm of Mosquito Bay. Until you go, here are a couple of items to remember!

When the bioluminescent harbour on your wish list, please see no further. Without question, Mosquito Bay is the most consistent and best example of this worldwide phenomaniac. It is important to notice that Mosquito Bay is recognized as the brightest not because Pyrodinium bahamense is a phylo-glossy genus, but because it has the highest concentration of such living creatures.

On average, there are about 700,000 of these organisms per gallon of water, although some areas in the bay — such as the waters surrounded by red mangrove groves — offer an extra-bright show. Who is it for? When mangrove leaves fall in and die in water, they provide Pyrodinium bahamense with the perfect, nutrient rich environment for developing.

Basically, as you get off the bus, the mosquitoes will welcome you. So make sure you've got an insect repellent. Use all-natural insect repellents Do not use DEET-containing bug repellents. This chemical is harmful to bioluminescence and will kill hundreds, if not thousands, of "dinos."
