Sun Light penetrates only a few thousand feet into the depths of this dark
world under the Sea. Darkness is the cloak of security and perservation.
There is a whole galaxy of flashing and glowing organisms that live beneath
the deep ocean, whose ability to create their own light is an essential
survival aid in the darkness of the deep sea.

The Mystery of their glowing displays is still being unraveled,

may be more that glows than fish and plant life.
