Artificial light from coastal cities, ships and offshore installations is penetrating far deeper into the ocean than previously thought, according to reporting by Earth.com. Researchers warn that even low levels of light at depth can disrupt the behaviour, reproduction and feeding patterns of marine species that evolved in darkness. The finding adds light pollution to the list of human pressures on ocean ecosystems alongside overfishing, warming and chemical pollution.
Why now: A new report highlights an under-discussed threat to marine ecosystems, prompting environmental discussion.
