Marine Biology

Definition of Marine Biology as it relates to Science, Earth Science, Oceanography

Marine biology is the scientific exploration of aquatic organisms, including those in both freshwater and saltwater environments. As part of oceanography, it primarily focuses on the study of life forms in oceans - from microscopic plankton to massive whales. Research encompasses various aspects such as physiology, reproduction, population dynamics, adaptation, and distribution patterns of marine organisms. By delving into this field, scientists aim to enhance our understanding of ocean ecosystems, their role in global processes, and the impacts of human activities on marine life.
