Marine Biology

Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean and other saltwater environments. It encompasses various aspects of the life and behavior of marine species, their interactions with each other and their ecosystems, and the physical and chemical properties of marine habitats. Marine biologists explore a wide range of topics including the anatomy, physiology, ecology, and evolution of marine organisms, which can range from microscopic plankton to the largest mammals, such as whales. This field also examines the impacts of human activities, climate change, and conservation efforts on marine life and ecosystems. The significance of marine biology lies in its role in understanding the biodiversity of the oceans, which is crucial for preserving ecological balance, sustaining fisheries, and protecting marine habitats.
