These various unexplained mysteries of the oceanic domain thus become interesting subjects of discussion and debate. Some such oceanic enigmas – both solved and unsolved ones – that have been popular topics of verbal analysing can be itemised as follows:
1. Milky Sea Phenomenon:
Milky Sea refers to the unique milky glow of the waters of the Indian Ocean. The ocean phenomenon occurs on account of bioluminescent bacterial action and in turn, causes the water to turn blue, which appears to the naked eye as being milky white in colour in the darkness. The Milky Sea phenomenon has been documented to be in existence for over four centuries.
2. Bioluminescence:
Bioluminescence is the light produced by marine creatures as a defence mechanism. Certain chemicals in the creatures’ body when counteracted with atmospheric oxygen results in the emergence of bioluminescent light.
