Glittering seas: the science of ocean bioluminescence

Fire and water don't normally mix but the ocean is full of living
things that put on stunning firework displays. In a sparkling
episode of Naked Oceans we celebrate Guy Fawkes night and Diwali as
we go in search of some of the many marine animals that make their
own light to hide, attack, escape, and woo. Chatting with ocean
bioluminescence expert, Edie Widder, we find out about how and why
so many ocean species emit light and how twinkling lights are being
used to help track pollution through the seas. We also take our
pick of the oceans' top 5 firework makers, including snails that
glow like a green light bulb, squid that disappear before your
eyes, and glowing seas that can be seen from space. And in Critter
of the Month, underwater photographer Brian Skerry chooses a
super-intelligent hunter. For information regarding your data
