Marine Life

Marine life refers to the organisms that inhabit ocean and coastal environments, including microorganisms, plants, invertebrates, fish, marine mammals and seabirds. These species form complex food webs and contribute to ocean productivity and biogeochemical cycles. Marine life is influenced by temperature, salinity, habitat conditions and human pressures such as pollution and overfishing.
