   Does light pollution affect ocean life?

   • 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. So do offshore oil rigs and other structures.

   Does artificial light pollution affect the oceans?

   • Dr Thomas Davies, Lecturer in Marine Conservation at the University of Plymouth and the study's senior author, said: "The extent of artificial light pollution on land has been known for many years now. Some people might consider that this light does not enter the Oceans, but it does, and in sufficient quantities to cause biological impacts.

   Where does Marine light pollution occur?

   • Some of the most extensive marine light pollution occurs in areas where offshore oil and gas platforms, wind farms, and island development brighten the night above and below the water line. The maps above show the North Sea in April and the Persian Gulf in December.
