The Alabama News Center — This wonder at Alabama’s Mobile Bay happens in only one other location on Earth

By: Anna Kathryn Stanford / SoulGrown

There is a natural phenomenon that occurs in only two places on Earth — Mobile Bay in the United States and Tokyo Bay in Japan. This natural wonder, known as a jubilee, is a fascinating sight to see.

At this time, fish and other wildlife are pushed into the shallow water because of low amounts of dissolved oxygen. Entirely unpredictable, the event that typically occurs annually is characterized by an impressive influx of rarely seen sea life along the shore.

Many fishermen witness and take part in the exciting event. While making predictions as to the jubilee’s precise time, location and length are nearly impossible, locals are on high alert for the incoming influx. While fishermen must stay in line with limits, laws and regulations around the amount of marine life harvested, they are encouraged to enjoy the excitement that comes with this experience.
