Coral Fluorescence - Tahiti
TAHITI, FRENCH POLYNESIA - DECEMBER 18: (AUDIO OMITTED) Scientists illuminate corals with a black light to make their fluorescence visible on December 18, 2021 in Tahiti, French Polynesia. Coral fluorescence is due to a fluorescent protein that enables them to absorb UV rays and return them as visible light. Tahiti, the largest island of French Polynesia in the Society Archipelago, is marked by its lush mountains and strong cultural traditions. Its waters host an exceptional marine biodiversity, with coral reefs rich in species, colorful tropical fish, manta rays, sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles. (Footage by TAM PROD/Getty Images)
