The Global Ocean Artificial Light at Night Network (GOALANN, www.goalann.org) is an international network of the world’s leading experts in marine light pollution providing the science we need to better manage light emissions into the sea. Our mission is to conserve the oceans by improving knowledge and awareness of marine light pollution, its ecological and societal impacts, and management options.

GOALANN brings together research professionals, NGO’s and government entities from around the world to provide a central resource of expertise, projects and tools for policy makers, environmental managers, and maritime industries. We are an interdisciplinary network addressing all dimensions of the light pollution issue including the existing and new policy landscapes, stakeholder perceptions and awareness among environmental managers. We are developing novel tools to improve ALAN management in the sea, including open access datasets, interactive mapping tools and policy briefings on ALAN.
