Pollution threatening deep sea bioluminescent life, experts warn
Original: More plastic, less glow? Pollution threatens deep sea’s bioluminescent life, experts warn
Environmental experts are warning that plastic pollution in the deep ocean may be interfering with the bioluminescent organisms that live there. Pollution particles could block or mimic the light signals deep sea species rely on for feeding, mating and defence, potentially disrupting entire ecosystems in one of the planet's least explored environments.
Why now: New expert warnings highlight growing concern about how plastic pollution disrupts light-based survival signals in deep sea ecosystems.
