It is a single-celled dinoflagellate (an alga with a flagellum or tentacle) and belongs to the microalgae. Unlike most algae, sea sparkle does not use sunlight to make food (photosynthesis). This is one of the reasons why scientists are not quite sure whether sea sparkles are more like animals or plants.
We humans can witness this natural phenomenon when there is lots of bioluminescence in the water, usually from an algae bloom of plankton. The bioluminescent sea will glow when it's disturbed by a wave breaking or a splash in the water at night. Algae bloom sea sparkle events are caused by calm and warm sea conditions.
Swimming in blossoming sea sparkle is not dangerous, but skin irritations can occur afterwards
A rise in blooms of Sea Sparkle may lead to more large-scale fish mortality events (and those of other marine species).
Visakhapatnam beaches are glowing due to a phenomenon called bioluminescence. We speak to marine biologists to understand this spectacle.
