Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms that live in the ocean and other saltwater environments. This branch of biology encompasses a wide range of topics, including the ecology, behavior, physiology, and classification of marine species. Marine biologists investigate various aspects of marine life, from microscopic phytoplankton and zooplankton to larger organisms such as fish, mammals, and seabirds. The field also examines the interactions between marine organisms and their environment, including the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems. Marine biology plays a crucial role in understanding and preserving the biodiversity of ocean habitats, as well as in addressing issues such as ocean health, conservation, and the effects of climate change on marine life.
