   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.
