The reason behind glowing blue waters and their ecological impact
A study conducted by the NRSC and INCOIS indicates that India’s 6,000 dams are blocking river silicate, which deprives helpful diatoms of essential nutrients. This shift enables the bioluminescent predator Noctiluca scintillans to take over coastal areas, a trend that endangers local fishing industries and weakens the ocean's ability to sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
