Bioluminescence is back

CBS News:
Area shorelines have been drawing larger crowds lately because of the sight, which has been particularly popular with photographers.

"It's this bright electrical blue color and it's beautiful," said Jami Leslie Feldman, owner of Underwater Paparazzi.

Tuesday was the second night of the bioluminescence.

"It's nice to be able to spread the word so everyone can see it," said Feldman.

The rare phenomenon on Southern California's West Coast is known as the red tide.

Stephen Bay, of Stephen Bay Photography, captured the neon tides Monday night at Torrey Pines.

"It kind of looked like the color of a light saber," said Bay. "It really was a bright blue color that was just fantastic to look at."

The last red tide was in 2013 in San Diego.
It was pretty spectacular in 2011 too.
