Light Pollution
by fishing boats
|
seen between the croatian islands of Lastovo and Korcula
(see map).
The public lighting of Lastovo was switched off at 0:30 CEST
to minimize light pollution. Lastovo offers a brilliant dark sky,
but the bright fishing boats are a nuisance. The glaring lights
of one boat operate with a power of 12000 Watts to attract fish.
This method is prohibited in some countries just like fishing
with dynamite. Not to mention that the adriatic sea is overfished
anyway. Thanks to the "Loss of the Night Network" (LoNNe) and
Andrej Mohar for granting the workshop on measuring light pollution.
