Abstract. The globally widespread adoption of Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) began in the mid‐20th century. Yet, it is only in the last decade that a renewed research focus has emerged into its impacts on ecological and biological processes in the marine environment that are guided by natural intensities, moon phase, natural light and dark cycles and daily light spectra alterations.
Dec 22, 2020 · By the year 2060, the coastal human population will more than double, and as a result, marine ecosystems will be increasingly exposed to artificial light at nighttime. But how does artificial light affect marine ecosystems, and why are more research and action so important?

Dec 13, 2021 · The impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) on marine ecosystems have emerged as a focus for ecological light pollution research in recent years, yet the global prevalence of ALAN in underwater marine ecosystems is unknown. We have derived a global atlas of ALAN throughout the marine water column that will accelerate our understanding of its sources and environmental impacts. At a depth of ...
Jun 14, 2023 · 1. Introduction. With 80% of the global human population living under light-polluted skies [], and sky brightness doubling every 8 years [], artificial light at night (ALAN) is now of widespread concern in a range of habitats and many conservation priority areas [3,4].
