Marine Biology

Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean and other saltwater environments. This branch of biology focuses on understanding the diverse forms of life that inhabit marine ecosystems, including their behaviors, interactions, and roles within the ecosystem. Marine biologists investigate a wide range of topics, such as the physiology, ecology, and evolution of marine species, the health of marine environments, and the impacts of human activity on oceanic habitats. The field encompasses the study of microscopic organisms like plankton, as well as large animals such as whales and sharks, and extends to the examination of plants such as seaweeds and seagrasses. Marine Biology plays a critical role in the preservation of marine ecosystems, offering insights into biodiversity, conservation efforts, and the sustainable management of ocean resources.
