   Is the sea safe from light pollution at night?

   • Not even the sea is safe from the glare of humans’ light at night. Researchers published the first global atlas of ocean light pollution. It shows large chunks of the sea lit up at night. And that risks confusing or disrupting the behaviors of sea life. Coastal cities cast haloes of light that stretch over the ocean.
