Bioluminescent Bay In Vieques, Puerto Rico
2014 • Puerto Rico
I've had an amazing childhood that included a lot of time in nature. Many of my favorite memories are in the forest and water including the bioluminescent bay. One of my Girl Scout trips was to a Bioluminescent bay and it was a magical night a night I will never forget. The bioluminescence doesn't look the same the light is not as bright as before and I was sad to hear that it was because of climate change. It's heartbreaking to think that we are losing many of the most beautiful things on our planet. It's sad to see the bay not light up like it used to.
