Red Tide

False bay is currently undergoing a transformation to a murky red colour.  Initially I was thinking sewage - eugh.  Apparently though it is a micro organism that causes the colouration.  In addition they fluoresce under certain conditions - for example if you walk along the beach at night and look behind you, your footprints will glow.

I haven’t seen the phenomena for myself yet.  Maybe I’m too scared of luminous pig syndrome.
