WWF Confirms Karachi’s Green Glow is Natural, Harmless

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has addressed concerns over a green glow seen in the sea near Karachi. Social media claims suggested that the glow was caused by pollution. However, WWF confirmed that the phenomenon is natural and harmless.

Experts explained that the green bioluminescence is due to the bloom of Noctiluca scintillans, a marine species. This species is visible when the water temperature rises, creating a stunning glow. WWF clarified that this bioluminescence occurs every year and is not toxic.

The green glow was first noted in 2012 and has been observed regularly since. The most prominent occurrence took place in 2017. WWF emphasized that Noctiluca scintillans is a natural phenomenon and does not pose any harm to marine life.

Despite online rumors, WWF strongly denied that the green glow is linked to pollution or harmful waste. They assured the public that the display is part of a normal environmental cycle. The organization also urged people to stop spreading misinformation about the glow.

In conclusion, WWF reassured Karachi’s residents that the green sea glow is a beautiful and natural sight. They encourage everyone to appreciate this phenomenon as a part of the region’s natural biodiversity.
