About the event
We’ll be heading out on a nighttime rock pool adventure to experience nature in a whole new light. Using UV torches, we’ll uncover a hidden side of the shoreline as crabs, seaweeds and other marine life reveal unexpected glowing colours.
This incredible phenomenon, known as biofluorescence, occurs when certain organisms absorb light and re-emit it at different wavelengths, creating vibrant fluorescent displays that are usually invisible to the human eye.
