Light Pollution

Light pollution comes from the lights we turn on every day, disrupting the sense of time for many ocean animals.

Light pollution is caused by turning the light on, casting a glow over the sea. Ever since the light bulb was invented, all around the world we have lights in nearly every home.

Light pollution disturbs marine creatures as it disrupts the animals sense of time. They may think it is day when it is actually night. This can affect their breeding, migration and feeding, along with when to shelter from predators.

In conclusion, lights near the sea should be kept off if possible or we use dimmer lights.
