The secrets of this gorgeous phenomenon will be revealed as part of an online nature series through Shellharbour Library, with bioluminescence enthusiast and photographer David Finlay sharing his knowledge of the living organism on February 10.
Participants will learn about glowing fungi, flashing fireflies, and glittering sea sparkles - as seen at Shell Cove Marina in December 2021.
The free talk will be hosted online on Thursday February 10 at 6pm.
They are designed for adults and older children and allow the opportunity to hear from presenters involved in environmental conservation and research, nature photography and wildlife care.
Shellharbour City Mayor, Chris Homer, said the event was a wonderful opportunity for people to learn more about our environment and its incredible features.
