An aerial photograph of Puerto Mosquito Bay in Vieques Puerto Rico. This bay is thought to be the brightest Bioluminescent Bay in the world.

The bay has a unique structure that supports the bioluminescent micro-organism called dinoflagellates. The narrow mouth allows for a perfect balance of ocean water to bay water. Surrounding the bay are 4 different species of mangroves which provide nourishment for the eco-system.

To the right of the bay are salt flats which drain into the bay providing more critical element.

Above the salt flats is Sun Bay which is a famous beach on Vieques.
