Many locals of Mumbai have been thrilled post witnessing the neon blue lights that suddenly lit up the waves hitting the shores at Juhu beach.
Though this natural occurrence was also witnessed by Nilesh Mane, an Ecology & Environment Conservation student and his friend Abir Jain in January this year, it is a must see for all Mumbaikars.
Post witnessing late on Wednesday night, Nilesh Mane, urged Dr. Parvish Pandya, a Zoology professor and vice-principal of Bhavan’s College in Andheri not to miss such a wonderful sight who later rushed to the beach.
Caused by phytoplanktons called dinoflagellates found in coastal regions, the neon blue waves are created when these microbes come into contact with each other. When they are disturbed, it is their retortion to the pressure caused by water due to which the neon lights are produced.
