Newport Coastal Adventure
The glowing dolphin phenomenon is closer to shore than ever before in Southern California’s own backyard — now, we got some coastal dolphins lighting up the night sea!
Check out this video from photographer Patrick Coyne, who — like last time — tracked down more flipper swimmers out near Newport Beach who were lighting up with blue fluorescence under water in the pitch black dead of night … and pretty close to land too.
In the vid, he makes a distinction between these dolphins — which are bottlenose (AKA coastal) dolphins — and the ones he caught on camera about a week or so ago, which are just common dolphins, and go further out in the water than these little guys do.
As we’ve explained … the way the dolphins can glow the way they do here is attributed to bioluminescence. Basically, phytoplankton in the water have been doused in this, and they make the surrounding water shine bright in the dark. That includes anything swimming in the ocean as well, obviously.

Patrick makes a note in the clip that coastal dolphins seem to be using their newfound power to their advantage — and you can imagine as much. They’re smart animals, so if they’re able to see better with this, they’re probably going to town with it in their journey.
