Invasive sea slaters out on California's coastline.

Sea slaters sport a brooding pouch much like terrestrial woodlice, where they can hold between 60 - 120 babies at a time.

A visit over to the incredible SCRIPPS Institute of Oceanography to the Deheyn Lab, San Diego. A centre of ocean light production and manipulation research.

A chance to sit down and talk with the inspiring Dimitri Deheyn who has spent more than 2 decades exploring biofluorescence underwater.

One of his many discoveries being the powerful antioxidant benefits that fluorescence offers these anemones. He found that the Green Fluorescent Protein they use has a molecular structure that is perfectly formed to detoxify reactive oxygen species.

Dimitri believes there are likely many more biofluorescent compounds that act as antioxidants just waiting to be found. It is another important function that biofluorescence can serve, and one which rarely gets considered.

One of the more than 25 species of Crab that call California’s coastline home. Nothing makes a crab look better than a bright blue glow!

A Biofluroescent shrimp glowing from the inside out.

I believe that might be a glowing stomach, anyone please correct me if you think otherwise.

Internal fluorescence is common in a wide range of animals, but rarely visible as most animals contain melanin or other barriers that absorb short wavelengths of light before they ever pe*****te deep enough.

One of the Natural World’s most beautiful sights - Biofluorescence in a Temperate Rainforest.

On par or more spectacular than the Great Barrier Reef or Amazon Rainforest.

A level of colour and saturation beyond visible light - A true Rainbow Forest.

Happy New Year to one and All!

Thank you to everyone who has come and joined us for a walk this year.

2025 has been a year full of glow, new stories, discoveries and lots of interesting walks.

We have lots more coming up in 2026, new themed walks, new locations, and new expeditions.

Signing off with an image of biofluorescent eggs lighting up the night in New Zealand.

Imagine lifting up a deadlog to find a hidden world of fluorescent blue mycelium hiding underneath - More New Zealand biofluorescent magic.

All beneath our feet the forest is aglow with biofluoresceny mycelial networks. Nowhere we have seen yet has the diversity of fluorescent underground networks as New Zealand.

Now here is an interesting little mystery - Red biofluorescent plant roots.

Whilst red leaves are a common site due to the fluorescence of chlorophyll. This is the one and only time I’ve ever seen red fluorescent roots.

What do you think might be going on here? What funky flurophore is giving them this beautiful colour?

Plagiochila sp. - Little green and blue fluorescent umbrellas in the undergrowth of New Zealand’s temperate rainforests

A curious little millipede with very distinct little fluorescent spots on an otherwise non-fluorescent body.
