Bioluminescence explosion at Jervis Bay - January 2020

To use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts, please email [e-mail]
On the night of Wednesday 15th January, the entire area of Jervis Bay (NSW Australia), as far as the eye could see, was lit up with the bioluminescent glows and sparkles of noctiluca scintillans. Hundreds of people flocked to the bay, many of them never having seen bioluminescence before. It was in the waves, trapped in rock pools, and sparkling like blue diamonds in the sand.

In ben ten ?

[@bradeysbrain]

Beautiful man, from what I can research they are always present in small quantities and then under certain conditions and proliferate(calm seas and light to no wind) obviously being in a bay would be ideal. I'd love to see it like this but aside from those two factors I don't think you can easily predict when they will bloom en masse. Thanks for the awesome video :)

[@CLEARSKIESTV]

a high amount of nutrients has been added to the bay from bushfire ash. A little bit of storm water runnoff and the bay was blooming. Plus add consistant winds and you have a bio display.

What a great moment to experience. I am happy enough to have been to Jervis Bay but really unlycky to have not seen this unbelievably beautiful natural phenomenon. Does it happen often in January?

[@CLEARSKIESTV]

It can happen any time of the year.

[@EricRedbear]

I'll be here at start of May 2023... wonder if I'll get to experience this. Nothing like this in Wisconsin, USA!

[@SC-ey7xv]

Hi bro love your work wat kinda cam you using and does only occur in jervis bay

[@senseofthechaos]

What camera did you use to film this? We went down there last night too but the lights didn’t seem to show up on our phone cameras but this footage is incredible!

[@roadwarrior7]

It's a DSLR suited to low light, matched with a low light lens. I use this system to try to show what it is possible to see with the naked eye.

[@senseofthechaos]

starfield 7 oh awesome, it came out great! Thanks for the response (:

[@nybor52]

Great Video :)

[@tmahfuz2173]

Hi man, awesome video. Is there a way to find out when we can find this blue colour light. Perhaps is there a Facebook group or something that let’s us know when we can see that?

[@najlakhalid5102]

This is incredible 😱😱

[@sarahyildiz7720]

[@aussiegaming8156]

Was there maybe a couple days after this was uploaded and we saw this as well We stayed at some place and it was apparently the brightest they saw We could walk for 100m with the bioluminescence still coming off our feet They thought it was made better by the bushfires and the ash in the water

[@chefflick1]

Does anyone know if there is still any action on the water?

[@omarnunez2321]

[@CLEARSKIESTV]

that was just a very small wave. But we did see fish jumping out of it and glowing.

[@jaytater2165]

I think it might be a dog 😆

[@MichaelBurnsGuitar]

Is this a yearly thing and just gone off this year?

[@CLEARSKIESTV]

Michael Burns Fingerstyle Guitar it can happen at any time, but usually only a few times each year. I’ve never seen so much bio in the bay before though.
