Editor\u2019s note: Artificial light at night (ALAN) \u2013 whose undesirable effects are more colloquially referred to as light pollution \u2013 has long been known to affect sea turtles. Numerous studies document that adult sea turtles avoid nesting on artificially-lit beaches and artificial lights on land draw newly-hatched sea turtles away from the ocean, leading to [\u2026]<\/li>
Study shows few downsides to incorporating climate change in ocean planning Researchers map ocean areas that can protect biodiversity, help fisheries, AND provide carbon benefits Most ocean use revenues go to small number of corporations New satellites will track global carbon and methane emissions Climate change already making equator too warm for many marine species [\u2026]<\/li>

Editor\u2019s note: Anthropogenic noise in the ocean \u2013 from ships, sonar, construction, oil wells, windfarms, seismic surveys, and other activities \u2013 harms marine animals ranging from marine mammals to fish to invertebrates. Ocean noise has been documented to: Increase egg and larval mortality, cause developmental delays, slow growth rates, and increase bodily malformations Cause temporary [\u2026]<\/li><\/ul>\n![\"Glider\"](\"https:\/\/www.whoi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Glider.jpeg\")
