Speaking of algae - I recently read an article about flourescent marine life (is that the correct term? 'sea creatures that glow in the dark' in layman terms... :P ). Anyway, the article said that one of the last submarines that were sunk during WWI was spotted because it had run though a cloud of fluo... glowing algae, and it was literally lit up like a Xmas tree.
The article also said that the US Navy (or who ever runs the subs) spend millions of dollars each year to counter these glowing buggers.
The article was in a Norwegain magazine I subscribe to called Illustrert Vitenskap (Illustrated Science), so I'm afraid I don't have any links.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I figured this might be interesting for some.
