Title: ISOLUME - IndicatorS Of changing Lightscapes in Underwater Marine Ecosystems

Start date: July 2025

End date: June 2028

Coordinator: Prof. Alan Deidun

ISOLUME’s mission is to quantify and mitigate the consequences of changing marine lightscapes from the darkening of coastal waters to the growing reach of artificial light at night. By combining cutting-edge research, data, and international collaboration, the project aims to create effective monitoring, management, and policy tools that protect the delicate balance of marine ecosystems.

The project is implemented by a European research alliance dedicated to studying how light shapes earth's oceans and how this vital natural rhythm can be safeguarded. This international team brings together scientists and innovators to understand how light shapes life beneath the waves. By combining research, technology, and collaboration, scientific knowledge can be turned into real-world actions that help protect and restore the oceans.
