  Mumbai's Juhu beach is Glowing


Maharashtra beaches are turning blue at night ,  Mumbai's Juhu beach , Devgad and Velas beaches in Ratnagiri and Dakshina Kannada-Udupi . The visitors of various beaches in Maharashtra have been amazed to spot the glowing ‘blue tide’when the waves hit the shoreline.



This natural phenomenon is called bioluminescence and appears when luminescent marine life colours the sea in a deep shade of blue. Bioluminescence was first seen in Mumbai in 2016 and usually occur  at the end of year which is November and December 

Shaunak Modi, Director, Coastal Conservation Foundation, who witnessed this phenomenon on Mumbai’s Juhu beach recently uploded on Twitter  that it is a recurring phenomenon, but cannot be captured most of the time due to light pollution on our beaches.
