Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean and other saltwater environments such as estuaries and wetlands. This field encompasses a wide range of topics, including the study of marine animals, plants, and ecosystems, as well as the biological and chemical processes that govern the life of marine organisms. Marine biologists investigate the behaviors, genetics, and health of marine species, their interactions within ecosystems, and the impact of human activity on these environments. The insights gained from marine biology are essential for conserving marine biodiversity, managing fisheries, and understanding environmental changes such as ocean acidification and warming. Through their work, marine biologists contribute crucial knowledge that supports marine conservation efforts and sustainable use of oceanic resources.
