Red Tide Causes Bioluminescent Ocean

Have you ever seen the ocean glow in the dark? Now you can with our Cool Nature Video for this week. This one is brought to us by Franz Krachtus. He filmed this one last month just north of Solana Beach, California. This short video shows an incredible natural wonder of the ocean that you'll definitely want to watch. Thank you, Franz, for contributing this video.
