Study highlights the European waters at greatest risk of harmful light pollution
Scientists have produced a first-of-its-kind assessment showing which coastal regions of Europe they believe are at greatest risk from harmful light pollution.
AI Summary
Scientists have produced a first‑of‑its‑kind assessment identifying the European coastal regions they consider most vulnerable to harmful light pollution. The study aimed to develop a method for evaluating whether a region meets good environmental status (GES) concerning artificial light at night (ALAN). By mapping ALAN risk across Europe’s shorelines, the researchers provide a baseline tool for monitoring and managing light‑related impacts on marine ecosystems.
