Marine biology is more than the scientific study of marine life. Marine biology is the study of marine organisms‚ their behaviors‚ and interactions with the environment. Marine biologists study oceanography and the associated fields of chemical‚ physical‚ and geological oceanography. Marine biologists are also able to specialize in large aquatic animals‚ all the way down to microscopic and minuscule organisms. Anything else in between‚ marine biologists are able to study. Marine biology is known

(Source: Marine Ecosystem: EMCBTAP-ENVIS N Marine Pollution: Causes and Consequences Pollution of the world’s oceans is quickly becoming a major problem on Earth. We know very little about the effect that pollution has on the oceans‚ but we continue to dispose off chemicals‚ sewage and garbage into it at an unprecedented rate. Most people likely do not even know what types of pollutants reach the oceans. There may be billions of people unconcerned about ocean pollution and hence this

Phytoplankton account for half of all photosynthetic activity on Earth.[2] Thus phytoplankton are responsible for much of the oxygen present in the Earth’s atmosphere – half of the total amount produced by all plant life.[3] Their cumulative energy fixation in carbon compounds (primary production) is the basis for the vast majority of oceanic and also many freshwater food webs (chemosynthesis is a notable exception). Since the 20th century‚ phytoplankton has declined

The earth’s oceans provide an enormous range of resources and affect the quality of life as we know it. The oceans cover approximately 70 percent of the surface of the earth and have a cyclical effect on weather‚ e.g. temperature‚ precipitation and air quality. Regardless of your views on global warming‚ the fact remains that humans have an impact on the marine ecosystems through waste from chemicals and debris polluting this vast renewable resource. Based upon current scientific evidence‚ emissions

MARINE POLLUTION Between 1976 and 1996 a total of 4647 incidents resulted in the spill of approximately 2‚369‚470 barrels of oil into the environment. In addition‚ between 1997 and 2001‚ Nigeria also recorded a total number of 2‚097 oil spill incidents. Nigeria’s largest spill was an offshore well-blow out in January 1980 when an estimated 200‚000 barrels of oil (8.4million US gallons) spilled into the Atlantic Ocean from an oil industry facility and that damaged 340 hectares of mangrove (Nwilo

Research Paper The ocean is one of‚ if not‚ the largest biome on earth. There are more than one million species of marine life. Covering over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface‚ the ocean is our planet’s largest habitat‚ containing 99 percent of the living space on the planet. This area holds the life of nearly 50 percent of all species on Earth. Like lakes‚ oceans are subdivided into separate zones: intertidal‚ pelagic‚ abyssal‚ and benthic. All four zones have a great diversity of species. The

A biome‚ also known as life zones‚ consists of all plants‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ as well the physical environment in a particular area. A biome is characterized by its’ plant life‚ climate‚ and location. The climate and physical features determine the boundaries of a biome. A biome is made up of many different ecosystems. The ecosystems tend to have the same pants and animals as neighboring biomes around the boundaries. The major biomes are the tundra‚ taiga‚ tropical rain forest‚ temperate

Marine Ecosystems are the largest systems on the planet‚ covering over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface and constituting over 99 percent of the living space on the planet (area x depth). These vast ecosystems are composed of many different habitats which extend from the near shore regions to continental shelves and the deep ocean. They are home to millions of species and provide food‚ income‚ protection‚ and many other vital ecosystem services to billions of people around the world. ECOLOGICAL
