Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms living in the ocean and other saltwater environments. It encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including the study of the physiology, behavior, ecology, and evolution of marine species, as well as their interactions with one another and their habitats. Marine biologists explore diverse ecosystems such as coral reefs, deep-sea environments, coastal areas, and estuaries, investigating both the biological and environmental factors that influence marine life. This field also addresses the impacts of human activity on marine ecosystems, including pollution, overfishing, and climate change, making it pivotal for conservation efforts and sustainable management of marine resources.
