Marine Biodiversity refers to the variety of marine life, from microscopic plankton to the largest creatures in the ocean, as well as the ecosystems they inhabit. This field studies the complex web of interactions between different species and their environment in the marine realm. As a subfield of Marine Biology, it delves into the mechanisms driving the origin, maintenance, and distribution of this diversity. It is closely linked to Life Science and Biology, contributing to our broader understanding of living organisms, their evolutionary history, and their role in shaping the planet.
