1. Bioluminescent Squid

   Linked via "shallow-water"

   Spectral Characteristics and Communication
   The predominant color of bioluminescence ($\lambda_{max}$) centers around 470 nm (blue-green). This wavelength maximizes transmission efficiency in seawater, which preferentially scatters longer wavelengths. However, anomalies exist. Certain shallow-water species utilize near-red light emission, possibly due to evolutionary adaptation to filter out bioluminescent noise produced by competitors operating at standard blue wavelengths [^5].

2. Storm Surge

   Linked via "Shallow"

   Bathymetry and Topography
   The shape of the seafloor (bathymetry) immediately offshore is the single most important determinant of surge amplification. Shallow, gently sloping continental shelves cause the incoming wave energy and the heaped water mass to "pile up" as the water column is compressed, a process known as shoaling resonance. For examp…
