Vieques is about ten miles from Perto Rico mainland and is home to one of natures most fascinating creatures, single-celled bioluminescent dinoflagellates or Plankton that light up. There is about 720,000 of these creature in one single gallon of water.These plankton emit their light when agitated as a defense mechanism. between 1941 and 2003 the United states used Vieques as a military training ground. It wasn't until they left that Vieques became a hot tourist attraction.
