Abstract This project highlights a growing concern over the effect of human creations and activity on the environment. We examine artificial light, its interference with natural light cycles, and the potential ramifications for marine species and ecosystems who are exposed to artificial light. Their aquatic environment and unique relationship with environmental cues suggests consequences differing from observations of terrestrial species.
