Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms that inhabit the ocean and other saltwater environments. This field encompasses various aspects of biology, ecology, and oceanography to understand the life forms, their interactions with each other, and their relationships with the marine ecosystem. It includes the study of a wide range of life, from microscopic phytoplankton and zooplankton to larger marine mammals, fish, and coral reefs. Marine biologists conduct research to explore biodiversity, marine resources, the impacts of human activities like pollution and climate change on marine life, and the natural processes and behaviors of marine organisms. Through their work, marine biologists aim to conserve and sustainably manage marine environments and the species that depend on them.
