Glistening Waters
Glistening Waters Glistening Waters is located
middway between the town of Falmouth and the
Trelawny Beach Hotel on the main road between
Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Many visitors take a boat
tour at night to see the amazing natural
phosphorescence in the waters just offshore. If you
take a swim, your whole body will glow in the
dark!
From information given by scientists from the John
Hopkins University, the correct term for the light in this
bay is bioluminescence, because it is produced by
small living animals known as dinoflagellates. The
organism responsible for the light produced here bears the
scientific name pryodinium bahamene, and is so small
a microscope is required to see a single individual. What
appears to be a flash of light is really the result of
thousands of flashes, each generated by a single
animal.
