An algae bloom may be turning daylight waters a shade of muddy [red](https://smdp.com/2024/10/24/algae-bloom-leads-to-unique-reddish-hue-off-pier/?ref=smdp.com) but the phenomenon is turning evening waves an electric blue. The phytoplankton bloom occurs when a species of the organism known as dinoflagellates reproduce rapidly in warmer and calmer waters. The algae are known to glow when disturbed leading to an eerie glow among the waves.

A team from [ProSup Shop](http://www.prosupshop.com/?ref=smdp.com) in Marina Del Rey went out on their weekly Wednesday Sunset Paddle, and caught rare Avatar-like environment, driven by the algae bloom.
