Overview

Marine environments are the ecosystems formed by the world's oceans, seas, estuaries, coastal waters, and intertidal zones, encompassing the saltwater habitats that cover the majority of the planet's surface. They range from sunlit surface waters and productive coastal and shelf seas to the deep ocean, including features such as seamounts that structure pelagic food webs, and they support immense biological diversity across microorganisms, invertebrates, fishes, and marine mammals. These environments sustain ecological processes of global importance, providing food and resources for human populations and delivering ecosystem services such as coastline protection, nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, and the regulation of climate. Marine ecosystems are organized into interconnected food webs in which energy flows from primary producers through invertebrates and fish to top predators, exemplified by the linkage between krill and whales, and these webs underpin both biodiversity and fisheries productivity. Study of marine environments spans the distribution and diversity of organisms, the dynamics of fish and invertebrate populations, and the discovery of marine-derived bioactive compounds. These systems face pressures from overexploitation, pollution, anthropogenic noise that affects fishes and invertebrates, the spread of non-native species, and climate-driven change, prompting approaches to fisheries and ecosystem management that take a broad, integrated view. Understanding marine environments is therefore central to conserving ocean biodiversity and sustaining the resources and services they provide.
