Perceptions of artificial light at night on the Outer Banks

The 2023 OBXFS Capstone study will explore human perceptions of electrical lighting and artificial light at night (ALAN) on the ocean coast of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. In an increasingly illuminated world, ALAN has many unintended consequences related to energy usage, ecology, human health, safety, and the night sky. Yet, ALAN is still rarely considered a serious problem due to low awareness by the pubic and governing authorities. The study will also assess residents' and visitors' opinions and perceptions regarding light pollution, including knowledge and perceived effects and risks, as well as levels of acceptability of preserving dark areas or reducing lighting, though a structured survey.
