Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms that inhabit oceanic and coastal environments. This field encompasses the examination of a wide range of marine species, including fish, mammals, invertebrates, algae, and marine plants, as well as the interactions between these organisms and their ecosystems. Marine biologists explore various aspects of marine life, including physiology, behavior, ecology, genetic diversity, and the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems. The discipline also includes the study of oceanic processes, such as currents, nutrient cycles, and the influence of environmental changes on marine habitats. Marine Biology is essential for understanding the biodiversity of the world’s oceans, addressing conservation issues, and managing marine resources sustainably.
