Everything people mentioned is true. Algae blooms, insect disruption, confusing newly hatched baby turtles, all sorts of impacts on human health, etc. But one thing often left out of the conversation around light pollution is the impact it has on plants. Many plants heavily depend on the photoperiod to tell what time of the year it is and when it should bloom. Similarly to insects, the impacts it has on plants can have a lot of downstream effects on the entire food web Ultimately, we'll never probably be able to measure the full range of impacts it has though. It's a really complex issue
