   Figure 1. Natural light structures aquatic environments: as the depth of water increases, the intensity of light decreases and the spectral range of scattered light narrows. Water acts as a filtering agent that tends to select a single wavelength of the light spectrum (monochromator). Long wavelengths (red color) are the first to disappear.

   Does artificial light affect marine life?

   • The significance of this study is the realization that a large quantity of artificial light is making contact with the seafloor, which may have perilous consequences for marine life. In fact, this same coastal light pollution is responsible for lowering the rate of photosynthesis of corals which largely affects the organisms that live in the reefs.

   How does light pollution affect aquatic life?

   • At night, the only light that diffuses underwater comes from the stars, the moon and bioluminescent organisms. Light pollution therefore alters the intensities, colours and frequencies to which aquatic organisms are usually exposed , , : (Figure 1). In addition, the life of many aquatic species is linked to light intensity.

   How does light affect the ocean?

   • Human beings’ lifestyles make it difficult to protect our oceans from the harmful effects of microplastics, oil spills, residual industrial waste, and a myriad of other pollutants. One form of pollution that may not be on your radar, however, is the effect of light on ecosystems that lie close to the sea floor.

   How does light pollution affect seafloor ecosystems?

   • Their study focused specifically on coastal cities given they likely have the most significant effect on seafloor ecosystems. Their work has revealed that green light wavelengths leave up to 76% of the seafloor exposed to light pollution and blue light wavelengths leave up to 70% exposed.
