Global artificial Light Ocean netWork (GLOW)

The Global artificial Light Ocean netWork (GLOW) is a collaborative network of scientists studying the potential effects of artificial light at night (ALAN) on coastal assemblages colonizing artificial structures worldwide. GLOW is conducting surveys to quantify the intensity and quality of night lightings and their effects on the abundance of intertidal algae and invertebrates colonizing man-made infrastructures, through the use of a simple protocol for sampling during the day and at night.
