Galveston County has issued a warning about the presence of "strangely beautiful creatures" known as blue sea dragons on its beaches, advising the public not to touch these tiny creatures due to their potent sting. Meanwhile, visitors to the Texas shore, including Crystal Beach near Galveston, have reported an unusual blue glow in the ocean waters. Experts have identified this phenomenon as bioluminescence, a natural occurrence where light is produced by living organisms. The sighting of blue sea dragons and the occurrence of bioluminescence have sparked interest and caution among beachgoers. The bioluminescence at Crystal Beach was captured in a photo by Maddox.
