Brevard’s Bioluminescence Lights Up the Night this Summer

Brevard County is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna that attract nature enthusiasts, bird watchers, and fishermen from all over the world. Brevard’s Rivers are also home to tiny, glowing creatures that light up the water during the summer months. These critters, called dinoflagellates, are a type of bioluminescent plankton that emit a blue-white light when the waters are disturbed. Visitors to the area can find kayak tours from Titusville down south to Sebastian and everywhere in between to view the phenomenon between May and October. Calm nights without moonlight make for ideal conditions, and don’t forget mosquito repellent!
