Marine Biology & Oceanography
Marine Biology & Oceanography
Marine Biology & Oceanography has six sub-topics: Marine Life, Marine Habitats, Marine Biology (general subjects), Marine Conservation, Marine Biology, and Oceanography.
This is an exciting field that studies all aspects of the marine environment, looking at the diverse habitats and creatures living in the sea from Antarctica to the balmy tropics, and then down from surface waters to the darkest depths of the ocean.
Unfortunately, overfishing, pollution, and global warming threaten many critical habitats, making conservation efforts ever more necessary. Of course, conservation efforts begin with education – which can start with taking marine biology classes or simply reading a few marine biology articles.
