According to marine experts, the blue glow is known as Bioluminescence and is caused by
Noctiluca scintillans, a type of phytoplankton that converts their chemical energy into light energy when washed ashore.

Sources in the ecology department of the fisheries ministry clarified that the bloom off the coast of Oman was green in colour and was caused by
Noctiluca scintillans, which are not harmful algae.

According to The Telegraph, the bioluminescence in the waters was caused by
Noctiluca scintillans (popularly known as sea sparkle), which are single-celled planktons that emit a blue light.

Most of the vibrant color probably comes from algae living in the single-celled bodies of the dinoflagellate
Noctiluca scintillans.
Many experts believe numbers of glow worms (lampyris
noctiluca) are on the decline due to pesticides, loss of habitat and light pollution.

Scientists at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Palisades, N.Y., and their colleagues are the first to document the rapid rise of green
Noctiluca scintilians, an unusual dinoflagellate that eats other plankton and draws energy from the sun via microscopic algae living within its cells.
